Everything was classy in New York this week. The Museum of the Moving Image threw a black-tie gala salute for Tom Cruise as a benefit for its education department, and the actor kept his crazy in check to deliver a humble thank-you. Cruise's fellow glitterati, meanwhile praised the actor's work ethic and common touch. Miramax gave a dose of its own glamor, hosting the New York premiere for the Coen Brothers horrific new film and chased it with a lovely little well-catered reception. And bringing a new event to the Big Apple is always a logistic challenge, but the Other Israel Film Festival discovered the difficulties of trying to do the right thing.
A restrained Cruise respectfully receives praise
Cipriani's majestic 42nd street digs were an appropriately grandiose location for the Museum of the Moving Image's annual black-tie gala benefit, which on Tuesday night paid tribute to megastar extraordinaire, Tom Cruise. Guests in formal-wear invaded the photographers' line to see the arrivals; attendees included Julianne Moore, Tim Robbins, and Oliver Stone, but all eyes were on the main star of the evening. Cruise took his time, dutifully posing and chatting with every reporter, while wife Katie Holmes stood by, gorgeous and quietly supportive, and sporting no limp despite having run in the New York City marathon two days earlier.
A consistent portrait emerged among the evening's presenters. "[He's] a tireless, relentless, sometimes exhausting advocate for the project," said Ron Howard. "He generously doles out praise to cast and crew alike at the end of a long day," said Tim Robbins. "He has a determination that audiences love," said Kenneth Branagh. "He's proven time and again that he gets things done," said Oliver Stone. "He was eating from catering," said Julianne Moore, adding "stars don't do that." While notes regarding his acting ability were a bit limited, everybody was struck by his unusually dogged work ethic and his democratic spirit.
That said, lately the actor has also been known for his antics during public appearances, and the audience was probably hoping he'd freak out a little -- praise Scientology, over-love his wife, cite urban legends as a cue to bash psychiatry. It was a little disappointing, then, when he gave a restrained, respectful speech more in line with the pleasant Tom Cruise described by the speakers than with the spastic Tom Cruise seen on talk shows; he even devoted a good portion of his speech to discussing MoMI's education program, saying "There's no museum like this that I've seen, anywhere. While others may thank you for what you do, and its importance to the world of film and cinema, let me instead tell you...precisely the lives you can effect through the education programs you are involved in." Classy, right? It's no "I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!," but it's nice.
Incidentally, the museum has a dynamite week of programming coming up, with preview screenings of "No Country For Old Men" with Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin in attendance, "I'm Not There" with Todd Haynes, Esther Robinson and her Berlinale-winning documentary "A Walk Into Water," "Margot at the Wedding" with Noah Baumbach and Jennifer Jason Leigh, and "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" with Julian Schnabel and the entire cast, as well as a conversation between Ang Lee and James Schamus. All in one week.
The Coens and Miramax Toast "No Country for Old Men"
On Wednesday night, Miramax held the official New York premiere for Joel and Ethan Coen's "No Country for Old Men" at the Walter Reade Theater. Miramax president Daniel Battsek opened the event remarking, "there's something very special about presenting a new film from these particular filmmakers in this particular town. I'm incredibly excited about the fantastic reaction we've been having to the movie."
As well he should be: "No Country" ranks among the finest of the Coen brothers' films, returning to some of their most consistent themes (chiefly the frustrating, inevitable downfall of poorly thought-out plans) while abandoning their usual ironic distance. Roger Deakins' cinematography looks fantastic, but that's where the stylization ends, as the Coens allow the story to unfold with startling naturalism in superbly executed, terrifying sequences. Javier Bardem is a nightmare as an unstoppable killer with Uncle Fester's face and Cousin Oliver's hair, the most terrifying cinematic creation since Michael Meyers. Josh Brolin is a real discovery as the friendly trailer-dwelling slacker who runs horrifically afoul of Bardem after pilfering $2 million from the grisly remains of a shoot-out.
The Coen's kept their own opening remarks short, pausing briefly the thank the cast; Joel Coen noted their choice to keep the film without a score, saying "Carter Burwell did the music that isn't in the movie." Those audience members who wished to socialize after the film stepped across the hall to an unusually decked-out Furman Gallery for the reception, where they were joined by the likes of Frances McDormand, Gretchen Mol and Willem DaFoe. "No Country For Old Men" opens on Friday.
With friends like these...
On Thursday, the first annual Other Israel Film Festival will open at the Manhattan Jewish Community Center with the World Premiere of Rokaya Sabbah's "On Hold," the story of an Arab-Israeli couple preparing to move to Spain. The Other Israel Film Festival is a unique collection of films made by Arab citizens of Israel, with the difficult aim of being as apolitical as possible. "We felt that political films and political discussions are done all the time, with respect to Israel" said Isaac Zablocki, head of film programming at the JCC. "What we really wanted were films referring to Arabs in Israel as part of society -- films dealing with women's issues, social issues, the realities of day-to-day life."
It's an interesting position for a film festival to take, particularly a festival thrown primarily by Jews regarding Arabs; unfortunately, the current political climate means that there has, almost inevitably, been backlash from both sides. While there have been a number of Arabs who have helped with selection and logistics (chief among them actor/director Mohammad Bakri), there were no Arab groups willing to co-sponsor the project. Says Zablocki, "We kept getting responses back saying the same thing: 'We applaud your festival, but we cannot partner with a festival that has Jewish and Israeli partners.'" Backlash from the Jewish community was a bit surprising; while Zablocki predicted some of the hard right-wingers would be angry by any attempt to work with the Arab community, they were not the only ones who wouldn't help. "This Israeli Consulate is usually very open-minded; they support everything Israeli in the States. Even though this is dealing with Israeli citizens, they wouldn't support this."
Despite this, there's been a slew of positive reaction worldwide, and the Other Israel Film Festival is looking to travel both to Israel and around the world, as well as post some of the shorter films on iTunes. "These films are rarely screened, and they're gems," says Zablocki, "and we want to reach as many people as possible."
The festival runs until November 15, with films such as "Empathy," a sort of Israeli "Crash" wherein the multiple stories intersect, told in reverse chronological order, and "Roads," the story of a 13 year-old drug dealer trying to escape from the slums of Lud. On Saturday night, the JCC will host a performance by and discussion with the Arab Israeli hip-hop group Dam.

There was a time, decades before I was born, where if you were going out to the movies then chances were pretty good that you were going to see something with Mickey Mouse in it. That's where Walt Disney originally made his mark, in movie theaters. Whereas we sit through advertisements before our big feature films today, back in the days of yore there would be a presentation of news reel footage and animated shorts. Through these shorts enduring icons were born: Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald. These are the franchise players of the Disney Empire. But recently, they've felt a bit diminished to me. Sure they still appear in books, in TV shows, on countless numbers of merchandise, but it feels like Disney has walled themselves off from the rest of culture. It used to be that you saw Disney characters everywhere. Now you see them only on the official Disney TV Channel, in the official Disney Store, at an official Disney theme park. When's the last time you saw some foreign tourist walking around in the US with a faded out Mickey Mouse t-shirt on? It might be time that Disney looks to revitalize the core of its brand.
One man who is working to accomplish something like this is Burny Mattinson. His work with Disney goes all the way back to the Winnie the Pooh films of the 1960s, and he's working as the supervising story artist on an updated Winnie the Pooh that's set for this year. This new Winnie the Pooh looks different from the stuff Disney has been putting out recently. It's hand drawn, it feels vintage, and it has an indefinable warmth that is missing from the goliath corporate image that Disney has taken on over the past few decades. It feels like something Walt would have done.
So, you can imagine that my ears perked up a little bit when Bleeding Cool asked Mattinson what he planned to work on next and he had this to say, "I am working on just an idea of my own which is basically a Mickey, Donald, Goofy feature film idea. We have to present it first to the bosses to get the green light."
Sure, this is just word of an idea being thrown out there. But it's a good idea, being pitched by a guy who could pull it off, to the people who can allow it to happen. It's been a long time since Mickey Mouse was in our movie theaters. And he's never starred in his own feature length film. With a good script and that vintage Disney feel that Mattinson and company have seemingly brought to the new Winnie the Pooh, this could be the perfect project to get Mickey Mouse out of the corporate ghetto that Disney has created for him and back out into the real world with everyone else. Put him in movie theaters where everyone will get a chance to look at him, don't keep him locked up in Disney stores where only fanatics of the brand will feel his comforting presence. Let's remind Yakov Smirnoff what he loves about this country: mom, apple pie, and Mickey Mouse.

School principals from across Florida were recognized today for raising student achievement at high-risk schools.
Florida TaxWatch awarded six top performing principals with the Elite Principal Award. These principals have helped improve teacher recruitment and retention and also educational success for students at schools that may be troubled and forgotten. Data collected from the Florida Department of Education helped determine winning principals and will also help other schools improve by taking similar routes.
"What are they doing that gets them extraordinary results? Is it use of the curriculum? Is it inspiring teachers differently? Is it involving parents and the business community? How are some making the difference while others are not, so we can move everybody towards a greater performance?" said Dominic Calabro, Florida TaxWatch President.
Five of the principals school districts were from Miami Dade County - one was from Pasco County.

The BFA Architectural Design program resides in the
School of Constructed Environments (SCE). This academic home supports the interdisciplinary inquiry that distinguishes Parsons as a whole. Students in other SCE programs—interior, product, and lighting design—share with architectural design students research and fabrication
facilities and an open design studio with wireless digital capability. These colleagues also collaborate on projects, dismantling the boundaries that historically have constrained design disciplines. In the process, they form an intimate community of learners.
By enrolling in
Art and Design History and Theory courses as well as related studio classes, students acquire essential research, writing, and critical reasoning skills while developing conceptual foundations for creative inquiry. Because Parsons is part of
The New School, students can choose from a wide range of lecture courses and electives in the humanities, social sciences, media studies, and business.
Classes use
New York City as a window into the history, theory, and techniques of architectural design. New York boasts some of the world's most forward-thinking, influential practitioners, such as Morphosis, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and LO-TEK. Visiting these studios, as well as industry resources like the
Center for Architecture and
MaterialConnexion, lends unique insight into key projects, leaders, and innovative design thinking. These activities also provide entrée to future internship opportunities.
The school's urban setting grounds sponsored projects within the school's mission to address social needs in participant-involved, sustainable ways. An example is the Design Workshop's
BronxScape—a recent design-build course in which SCE students created a rooftop recreational area in the Bronx for the young-adult residents of public housing.
Architecture equally values excellence in form making and rigor in research. As the role of the architect in contemporary society expands, so does the need for global perspective and skills in collaboration, research, and critical thinking.
At Parsons, such tools are developed through coursework that brings together students from diverse backgrounds. For the
Global Exchange Lab's recent effort to connect cultural and social institutions along Bangkok's San Saeb Canal, for example, architectural design students traveled to Thailand to work with students from Chulalongkorn University. And lectures by leading architects and architectural historians continually nourish a culture of intellectual inquiry; recent visitors include Enrique Norten, Shigeru Uchida, and Reiulf Ramstad. Faculty and outside scholars and practitioners share fresh thinking in Scapes, SCE's publication.

Jenkins gets full custody
Timothy Kincaid
November 23rd, 2009
In 2000, Lisa Miller and Janet Jenkins entered a civil union in Vermont. In 2002, Isabella Ruth Miller-Jenkins was born and the family shortly thereafter moved to Vermont to raise little Elizabeth Isabella in an environment that would be supportive of her family.
In the fall of 2003 the couple broke up. They agreed to end the civil union and the court approved the settlement. Janet agreed to pay child support and to visit Isabella regularly.
However, Lisa, who had taken Isabella and moved back to Virginia, fell into an anti-gay religious crowd. She decided that she was no longer a lesbian and that homosexuality was sin and developed hostility to both Janet and "the homosexual lifestyle".
Then Exodus International stepped in. They got her in contact with Liberty Counsel who immediately made little Isabella's life a centerpiece for their anti-gay activism.
Since 2004, Miller and Jenkins have been fighting in court over whether Jenkins could have any sort of relationship with her daughter. So far, every decision has ended with the confirmation that Janet Jenkins was entitled to visitation and that Virginia is not going to ignore the terms that the Vermont courts had put in place as a part of the termination of their civil union.
But, at the advice of Liberty Counsel, Miller has sought to thwart the will of the various courts. She simply refused to live up to the visitation terms. Further, she sought to deliberately instill the child with religion-based animus towards Jenkins and even went so far as to accuse her of molestation (social services called the claim "unfounded").
In August, the Virginia courts opted not to jail Lisa Miller for contempt, but did levy fines of $100 per day for missed visitation. This did not seem to make an impression on Miller. (nvdaily)
"I'm going to continue to take a stand for the Lord, no matter what the cost, because that's what a Christian is supposed to do," she said.
But now one judge has had enough. Although Janet Jenkins did not originally request full custody, it appears that this is the only solution that will allow both parents to see the child. (Rutland Herald)
After finding Miller in contempt of court earlier this year for denying Jenkins access to Isabella, Cohen said he decided the only way to ensure the child equal access to both parents was to switch custody.
"The court concludes that it is in the best interest of (Isabella) that Ms. Jenkins exercise parental rights and responsibilities," the judge said. "This court stated that continued interference by Ms. Miller with the relationship between (Isabella) and Ms. Jenkins could lead to a change of circumstances and outweigh the disruption that would occur if a change of custody were ordered."
Judge William Cohen determined that this would be in the best interest of Isabella.
The switch in custody is to take place New Years Day. Jenkins has vowed to provide visitation to Miller, even allowing her to take Isabella to church events.
But only a fool would assume that this story is over. With advice from the likes of Liberty Counsel, and a sense of religious entitlement, I would be surprised if Miller complied with the order. And even if she does, Liberty Counsel will only have more fodder for their gimme money letters to supporters so the legal appeals are not likely to end before this poor kid is a teenager.
- December 1997 – Lisa Miller and Janet Jenkins meet at an AA meeting in Virginia. They move in together a few months later. They make commitments to each other.
- July 1, 2000 – Vermont legalizes civil unions.
- December 19, 2000 – Lisa and Janet travel to Vermont and enter a civil union.
- July 2001 – Lisa Miller was inseminated with sperm from an anonymous donor. The donor was selected to have traits that matched those of Janet Jenkins.
- April 16, 2002 – Isabella Ruth Miller Jenkins was born. Jenkins cut the umbilical cord.
- August 2002 – Lisa, Janet, and Isabella move to Vermont.
- 2003 – the couple tried further fertility treatments. Lisa did not sustain a pregnancy.
- Fall 2003 – Lisa takes Isabella and leaves Janet, moving back to Virginia. Janet agrees to pay child support and to visit Isabella regularly.
- November 23, 2003 – Lisa files in Vermont to dissolve the civil union
- January 2004 – Janet counterclaims in Vermont for custody
- March 2004 – Lisa hires a lesbian lawyer and waived her objection to Janet as a parent
- 2004 – Lisa begins finding religion – specifically Baptist religion – and comes to believe that homosexuality is sin and that she is the sole parent of Isabella and that Janet is unrelated.
- April 23, 2004 – Lisa faxes a letter to her lawyer saying that she did not agree that Janet was a parent to Isabella. The attorney withdrew from the case.
- May 2004 – Lisa\'s new lawyer tried to rebut the presumption that Janet was a parent. The judge refused to agree and insisted on a visitation schedule.
- Spring 2004 – Exodus International advises Lisa to hire Liberty Counsel. Lisa makes it increasingly difficult for Janet to see Isabella. Lisa recollection of facts becomes significantly different from that of all other parties.
- July 1, 2004 – Virginia\'s anti-gay marriage prohibits the state from recognizing any same sex relationship (including contracts). Lisa\'s lawyers sue in Virginia court to declare her the sole parent and to declare the legal actions in Vermont as void, illegal and unenforceable. Virginia's Judge Prosser stayed unsupervised out-of-state visitation. Lisa refuses to allow Janet to see Isabella.
- October 15, 2004 – Judge Prosser declares Lisa the sole parent and invalidates Janet\'s claims entirely. Vermont Judge Cohen ruled that Prosser\'s order had no legal standing.
- Winter 2006 – Virginia Court of Appeals (three-judge panel) unanimously sides with Janet Jenkins, reversing Judge Prosser's decision.
- August 2006 – Vermont Supreme Court unanimously sides with Janet Jenkins.
- December 2008 – US Supreme Court refuses to hear the case.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: mack
do you think that it is essential for a new business to include the prices of its services on its web site
I think pricing should be determined on the scope of each individual project. When things are set in stone people will try and take advantage of your plan no matter what that is. My suggestion would be to develop a rough pricing outline that you feel comfortable with - and gauge everything on a per project basis...but don't post it on the site. This will give you room to change your prices on a whim as you become more educated in the field.
Post your site around community boards, get magnets and slap 'em on mail boxes, tell everyone you meet, go door to door and do sites well so you can get work on word of mouth (simply the best way)...
Best of luck,
madcat gave some great suggestions. I've also found that getting high rankings for regional based keyword searches like "mycity web design" & "website designers mycity" can be very effective.
WebmasterWorld is the best resource on the web for learning how to pull this off. An added bonus in learning how to accomplish this is that you can offer a service (SEO) that few, if any, of your local competitors can match.
Good luck,
I only do websites as a hobby, but a colleague of mine has set up a web business in his spare time, and 12 months on is going well. Work was slow to come in, until the time that he setup a 'partnership' (wasnt terribly formal as it was with a mate) who was a trained graphics person, who was very handy at logo design. In an instant, this web dev mate of mine was now able to offer a much broader package of services, and tailored his own website accordingly.
A few months down the line and work really started to pile up, thanks to broadening the services he could offer, and also due to the SEO knowledge he picked up here.
The key to his business kicking off was offering not just web dev (and having a portfolio of work done, initially on a freebie basis), but also logo design services, plus stationery design (and outsourced printing), and so on. Many logo enquiries lead to further work for web development, as lots of people seemed to be looking for a number of services at the same time. The more of an end-to-end service you can offer, the better it seems, so long as you aren't jack-of-all-trades (no, not you JOAT), and master of none! A well stocked portfolio will help no end.
If I go down the same road as he, I'll do something similar. It might be worth thinking outside of the box on this one, do you know of anyone who does graphic design (and does it well), who is au fait with print requirements and so on? maybe someone out of college who has the knowledge but not yet the experience? I think offering a broader range of skills, other than purely web devt, can be key to getting things rolling, at least from what I've seen with this mate of mine.
Other than that, as already mentioned, try local business development agencies etc and see if they hold trade shows or similar that you can get into for networking etc..

Eating on the Lower East Side
By Ashley Bode | May 24, 2012
While Harlem has some great advantages, there is a different, yet slightly similar appeal to another neighborhood with an equally rich cultural background; the Lower East Side.
LES does not always have the prettiest streets, the most convenient of bus routes or the glitz and glam of some other neighborhoods, but what it lacks in those departments it makes up for in authenticity, grittiness and character. During the day it is like any other neighborhood; bodegas are on every corner with the community cat taking perch, sandwich shops serve up lunch and boutiques sell the best commodities they have to offer. At night, the neighborhood's lights attract New Yorkers away from their homes and to the vibrant scene that gives this town the nickname, The City that Never Sleeps.
This is an old neighborhood, one with residents that have never left, stores that have stayed open for decades and a deli that has been in business since 1888. It was once a farm, then a tenement neighborhood, then a working-class Jewish community that now shares the streets with Latinos, Chinese, Bangladeshis, Japanese, Ukranians and countless other immigrants.This was once called Little Germany, Corlears Hook and Crown Point. Now its comprised of the East Village, NoLIta, Chinatown, Alphabet City, Bowery and Little Italy. This is the neighborhood of immigrants, the history of America.
Any history buff would find days worth of exploring in this part of town, the Tenement Museum on Delancey and Orchard offers a wonderful series of walking tours, but truly the best love affair to have with this neighborhood is found in restaurants. There is no other part of the city that showcases such a wide selection of food in a radius of this size. Read More

Copenhagen Fashion Week: NOIR Fall 2008 Collection
Posted By Abigail Doan On February 10, 2008 @ 2:00 am In Accessories and Fashion,Design,New York City,sustainable style sundays | 2 Comments
All eyes during the past week were on the much anticipated Fall 2008 fashion shows [2] here in New York City, but we also wanted to draw attention to what has been happening with one of our favorite cutting-edge designers, Danish label NOIR [3] at Copenhagen Fashion Week [4]. We previously covered NOIR's Spring 2008 collection [5] and were impressed by their innovative use of eco-friendly fabrics such as organic and African cottons, silks and oeko-tex [6] certified fabrics, though their use of leather surely keeps them from being a fashion-fave amongst vegans. That said, we are really excited by their Illuminati II initiative [7], which is sure to raise continued awareness of the campaign to bring organic and Fair Trade cotton fabrics to designers and the market. NOIR [3]'s recent Fall 2008 Collection [8] presentation was definitely a rockin' show with a rockin' agenda.
You may have spied photos in the fashion blogosphere of Shalom Harlow looking sleek, seductive, and totally reborn in the NOIR Transparency collection [3], but we think that it is equally sexy that NOIR lists affiliations like the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights [9], the UN's Global Impact Principles [10], ILO Conventions [11], and ICC's Business Charter for Sustainable Development [12] on their website's home page. This is all in line with NOIR [3]'s "code of conduct" principles by which founder Peter Ingwersen aims to design and manufacture. The newly launched Illuminati II initiative [7] is a luxurious fabric brand that will supply the highest quality organic cotton fabrics to NOIR [3] and other luxury brands under the umbrella of Global Compact principles and ILO whilst ensuring sustainability of The Humane Business Model from the heart of Africa.
Whether or not NOIR [3]'s design aesthetic appeals to you, you have to give them credit for taking a stand on how business should get done, and how people everywhere might also feel good about the future of fashion and fabric production and sourcing for the industry.

In 4 movements: I) The Continent, II) In Heaven, III) The Journey, IV) Finale.
A gorgeous and challenging new work for soloist and orchestra. Soloist plays vibraphone and the marimba both separately and simultaneously. A perfect balance between virtuosity, lyricism and musicality.
Click to downloaddemo score
Level: AdvancedDuration: 23 mins.Setup: Marimba 5 octave (or low A), Vibraphone (1 player) and PianoOpus #40.2
Demo MP3s available:
1st. Movement (with orchestra)
2nd. Movement (with orchestra)
3rd. Movement (with orchestra)
Regular Price: $27.50
Sale Price: $24.75 Qty.
Availability: 24 - 48 hrs
Program Notes:This composition is dedicated to my late mother Nylsa Luzzi Rosauro, who played the piano and instilled in me a love of music along with other beautiful things.
My family is from Rio Grande do Sul (the southern most Brazilian state). Movement 1 is based on the rhythm of Guarania. Guarania is one of the most popular styles from this region of South America, called Saint Peter's Continent by the early settlers.
After an energetic and virtuosic introduction the first part of theme A is presented with chords and melody that suggest tension and instability. The mood created evokes the emotions of a mother constantly worried over the well being of her children.
During the second part of theme A this tension is resolved and a new melody that is presented (*Leitmotiv 1) will be used throughout the piece.
After the bridge theme B (*Leitmotiv 2) is introduced and like Leitmotiv 1 it will reemerge in other movements.
Following an elaborate solo interlude on the vibes and marimba, themes A and B are restated and the same chromatic material from the introduction closes the movement.
Movement II starts and finishes with two canticles of the catholic church – "In Heaven" and "Heavenly Mother." I composed this music while taking long walks through the city of Porto Alegre, RS (Brazil) during the last weeks of my mother's life. The marimba cadenza has roots in the prayer "Gloria ao Pai" (Glory to the Father) and was inspired by an old choral composition of mine.
Movement III celebrates life. A joyful introduction preceeds the lively main theme in a 12/8 time signature. After the main theme exposition the bridge gives way to Leitmotiv 2 leading to a musical clímax.
A capacious cadenza allows the soloist to explore variations on Leitmotiv 1 with intermittent orchestral accompaniment.
Movement III concludes with a recapitulation of the central themes and motives followed by primary rhythmic passages from the introduction.
The Finale springs from variations of Leitmotiv 1. The shafts of the vibraphone mallets are employed to suggest the sounds of music boxes and church bells.
The work concludes with a gradual decrescendo of seven long notes bowed on the vibraphone. The final note fades away like a last breath.

Aaron Stacey: Mt. Vernon, Washington
Article by Darin Burt
With its gleaming chrome, polished aluminum wheels and dancing flame graphics, Rob Graham's steel blue T800 is one of the sweetest log trucks on the road. And don't think for the minute that driver Aaron Stacey takes it for granted.
"Nowadays, a new truck costs a guy over $200,000. That's a big investment to trust a person with," says Stacey. "I take care of the truck I drive as if it were my own and want it to stay in good working order. It's my office . . . the appearance of the truck reflects on the company."
Stacey, 35, has been driving since he was 20 years old. Thirteen of those years have been spent hauling logs. The last three years, Stacey has been a hired driver with Rob Graham Trucking, out of Bellingham, Washington. It's a return to where he started out; Rob took Stacey under his wing and gave him one of first log trucking job even though he had little experience driving in the woods.
Stacey's vey first log hauling job was for Hamilton Bros., for whom his brother worked as a yarder operator. He knew little about trucking other than having been around farm trucks and riding with his dad who drove a milk tanker. Stacey's first log truck was a 1981 Kenworth. "I rode with one of their experienced drivers for about a week, and then they just threw me in the truck and said, 'Stay on the road, and remember your bunk pin and compensator.'"
After Hamilton Bros. got out of logging, Stacey moved on to operating a lowbed for Mike Hawkins. He also did some flatbed work, and while he has all the respect in the world for guys running on the highway, being gone from his family for extended periods of time just wasn't for him.
Ironically, Stacey got the staring roll, with Graham driving one of his trucks through a parade in a commercial for the Deming Log Show. Graham now has nearly a dozen trucks, but back then there was just a couple, and when one of the drivers got injured, Stacey had to step up and pull a pup trailer. "I hadn't even been hauling logs for a year, so I learned really quick," Stacey says.
The truck Stacey drives for Graham is a 2006 Kenworth with a 475 Cat motor, 18-speed transmission, 46,000-lb rears with a single locker, Vulcan scales, lift axle, wet kit, aluminum wheels and Pedersen Bros. bunks and trailer. The truck is set up with a quick-change so that it can also pull side dump, as it did recently hauling rip-rap for the ARMY Corp of Engineers. Even with the wet kit, the lightweight on the truck is 27,000. Most of the time, a Pederson pup trailer (weighing 5,000-lbs) tags along.
"As a quick-change log truck, you couldn't ask for it to be set up any better," Stacey says. "It's one of the most comfortable log trucks I've driven. It has air-ride, a drop axle with a 12-foot spread and it gets around really well."
Stacey has been around the trucking industry long enough that he has a good handle on operating costs. He understands that in order for the business to make a profit, the truck has to produce and make its numbers – that means everything from preventative maintenance and striving for a clean driving record to being proactive and going after the extra load (when time allows, of course).
"There are a lot of guys out there who like to cowboy their truck and they're usually the ones complaining about the fuel prices and maintenance costs. If you want to drive a nice truck, you have to be responsible for your actions in the truck," Stacey says.
"A good hired driver is one who isn't there just to collect a paycheck," he adds. "One of the first things that Rob told me when I was starting out is that if your truck is broke you don't work. It sunk in that if I'm not working, I'm not making a paycheck, and if the truck isn't working, Rob's not making a paycheck either."
The handwritten note tucked in with Stacey's Christmas bonus, showed that his efforts were much appreciated by his boss. It read simply: "Thanks for looking out for the company."

Lindsey Vonn confirms she's dating Tiger Woods
Vonn and Tiger: A friendship that evolved into "something more."
Today, Lindsey Vonn confirmed a rumor that's been out there since January -- she's indeed dating Tiger Woods.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE THREE YEARS MAKES: In 2010, Vonn took a shot at Tiger
Vonn, currently recovering from knee surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL she suffered during a ski crash early last month, confirmed her relationship in a statement she published on her Facebook profile.
Here it is:
I guess it wasn't a well-kept secret but yes, I am dating Tiger Woods. Our relationship evolved from a friendship into something more over these past few months and it has made me very happy. I don't plan on addressing this further as I would like to keep that part of my life between us, my family and close friends. Thank you for understanding and your continued support! xo LV
And I thought I had a history of dating people with serious baggage...
Woods isn't the only celebrity pictured with Vonn in a recent post on her Facebook page. This March 4 post shows her with heartthrob Orlando Bloom:
Vonn's caption: "Look who I found in Vail! @OrlandoJB_Bloom @vailmtn #niceguy #vailisawesome"
Woods has also posted a statement to his Facebook profile addressing his new relationship:
This season has been great so far and I'm happy with my wins at Torrey and Doral. Something nice that's happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn. Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating. We thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy. We want to continue our relationship, privately, as an ordinary couple and continue to compete as athletes.

|home : index : ancient Greece : ancient Rome : Apollonius of Tyana : Philostratus
Flavius Philostratus:
The Life of Apollonius
Translated by F.C. Conybeare
|[§23] Just at the time when he was holding
these conversations with the people of Hellas, the following remarkable
portent overspread the heavens. The orb of the sun was surrounded by a
wreath which resembled a rainbow, but dimmed the sunlight.[1]
That the heavenly sign portended a revolution was of course clear to all. However, when the governor of Hellas summoned Apollonius from Athens to Boeotia, and said: "I hear that you have a talent for understanding things divine," he replied: "Yes, and perhaps you have heard that I have some understanding of human affairs."
"I have heard it," he replied, "and quite agree."
"Since then," said Apollonius, "you are of one opinion with me, I would advise you not to pry into the intentions of the gods; for this is what human wisdom recommends you to do."
And when he besought Apollonius to tell him what he thought, for he said he was afraid lest night should ensue and swallow up everything. "Be of good cheer," said Apollonius, "for there will be some light following such a night as this."
[§24] After this, seeing that he had enough of the people of Hellas, after living for two years among them, he set sail for Ionia, accompanied by his society; and the greater part of his time he spent teaching philosophy at Smyrna and Ephesus, though he also visited the rest of the cities; and in none of them was he found to be an unwelcome guest, indeed they all considered him to be worth their regret when he left them, and to the better class of people he was a great boon.
[§25] And now the gods were about to cast down Domitian from his presidency of mankind. For it happened that he had just slain [Flavius] Clemens, a man of consular rank, to whom he had lately given his own sister [Flavia Domitilla] in marriage; and he issued a command about the third or fourth day after the murder, that she also should follow her husband and join him.
Thereupon Stephanus, a freed man of the lady, he who was signified by the form of the late portent, whether because the latest victim's fate rankled in his mind, or the fate of all others, made an attempt upon the tyrant's life worthy of comparison with the feats of the champions of Athenian liberty [i.e., Harmodius and Aristogeiton]. For he concealed a dagger against his left fore-arm, and carrying his hand in a bandage, as if it were broken, he approached the Emperor as he left the law-court, and said: "I would have a private interview with you, my prince, for I have important news to communicate to you."
The latter did not refuse him the audience, but took him apart into the men's apartment where he transacted business of state. Whereupon the assassin said; "Your bitter enemy, Clemens, is not dead, as you imagine, but he lives and I know where he is; and he is making ready to attack you."
When the emperor uttered a loud cry over this information, before he could recover his composure, Stephanus threw himself upon him and drawing the dagger from the hand which he had trussed up, he stabbed him in the thigh, inflicting a wound which was not immediately mortal, though it was well-timed in view of the struggle that followed.
The Emperor was still strong and full of bodily vigor, although he was about five and forty years of age; and in spite of the wound he closed with his assailant, and throwing him down, kneeled upon him and dug out his eyes and crushed his cheeks with the stand of a gold cup which lay thereby for use in sacred ceremonies, at the same time calling upon Athena to assist him. Thereupon his bodyguard, realizing that he was in distress, rushed into the room pell-mell, and dispatched the tyrant, who had already swooned.
[§26] Although this deed was done in Rome, Apollonius was a spectator of it in Ephesus. For about midday he was delivering an address in the groves of the colonnade, just at the moment when it all happened in the palace at Rome; and first he dropped his voice, as if he were terrified, and then, though with less vigor than was usual with him, he continued his exposition, like one who between his words caught glimpses of something foreign to his subject, and at last he lapsed into silence, like one who has been interrupted in his discourse. And with an awful glance at the ground, and stepping forward three or four paces from his pulpit, he cried: "Smite the tyrant, smite him" - not like one who derives from some looking glass a faint image of the truth, but as one who sees things with his own eyes, and is taking part in a tragedy.
All Ephesus -for all Ephesus was at his lecture- was struck dumb with astonishment; but he, pausing like those who are trying to see and wait until their doubts are ended, said: "Take heart, gentlemen, for the tyrant has been slain this day; and why do I say today? Now it is, by Athena, even now at the moment I uttered my words, and then lapsed into silence."
The inhabitants of Ephesus thought that this was a fit of madness on his part; and although they were anxious that it should be true, yet they were anxious about the risk they ran in giving ear to his words, whereupon he added: "I am not surprised at those who do not yet accept my story, for not even all Rome as yet is cognizant of it. But behold, Rome begins to know it: for the rumor runs this way and that, and thousands now are convinced of it; and they begin to leap for joy, twice as many as before, and twice as many as they, and four times as many, yea the whole of the populace there. And this news will travel hither also; and although I would have you defer your sacrifices in honor thereof to the fitting season, when you will receive this news, I shall proceed at once to pray to the gods for what I have seen."
[§27] They were still skeptical, when swift runners arrived with the good news, and bore testimony to the sage's wisdom; for the tyrant's murder, and the day which brought the event to birth, the hour of midday and the murderers to whom he addressed his exhortation, everything agreed with the revelation which the gods had made to Apollonius in the midst of his harangue.
And thirty days later Nerva sent a letter to him to say that he was already in possession of the Empire of the Romans, thanks to the goodwill of the gods and to his good counsels; and he added that he would more easily retain it, if Apollonius would come to advise him. Whereupon at the moment the latter wrote to him the following enigmatically sentence:
We will, my prince, enjoy one another's company for a very long time during which neither shall we govern others, nor others us.Perhaps he realized, when he wrote thus, that it was not to be long before he himself should quit this human world, and that Nerva was only to retain the throne for a short time; for his reign lasted but one year and four months, when he left behind him the reputation of having been a sober and serious ruler.
|Note 1:
The description suggests that this is the eclipse of 20 March 71, and not an event in 96. The Greek word for wreath, stephanos, is a reference to Stephanus.

When teams compete in the 36th annual Doc Buchanan Invitational, it's usually considered to be the ultimate measuring stick for wrestlers to see how they fare against the state's top notch competition.
Fresh off a fourth place finish in the Coast Classic Invitational in Aptos, the Madera Coyote wrestling team will be one of those programs competing in the prestigious twoday tournament at Clovis High today starting at 9 a.m.
Named after long-time retired Clovis Unified superintendent Doc Buchanan, the tournament is an open invitational which draws a number of the best wrestling programs in the section and state. The winner of the 32-man bracket in each weight class receives a coveted cowboy hat presented by Buchanan himself at the winner's podium.
"We're going there for the experience to get us ready for the postseason," Madera head coach Joe Romine said. "It's the toughest tournament in the state and the toughest one we will go to this year, so I would like to see some guys place but it's going to be tough to get that cowboy hat with all of that competition there." ...

You just want to go together with your gut and just go for it when you are going to succeed or fail. For that reason, taking risks is just component of life and in reality many people won't take a risk or take action to accomplish success just by having a millionaire mindset.
The sorts of individual having a millionaire mindset which have the guts take a chance to succeed when they come across a business chance to create plenty of cash. Consequently, plenty of risks inside the long run will eventually payoff from your own hard work. A lot of people have that fear of failure to take an benefit of a profitable company opportunity to generate wealth.

Journey into Africa
|Publisher: GeoDeo Educational Resources
Author: Ann M. Jansen
Review last updated: 2009
|Instant KeyPublishers InfoPricing
Journey into Africa
African history often gets shortchanged in some of the best world history textbooks, but you can remedy that situation with Journey into Africa. The core book is titled Journey into Africa: A Creative Study of History, Geography, Animals, and People from a Christian Perspective. With only this book you can provide an excellent foundation in African history, culture, and geography for children in grades five through eight.
The book is printed in full color with lots of photos, maps, and illustrations. It really is a visual delight. Children might read the book on their own, but it also should work well as a family read-aloud (including even younger or older children). The first six units are written as if they are spoken by a tour guide. Every so often a question is inserted; these are printed in italics and highlighted green. The idea is that a tourist or friend is asking a question of the tour guide. You can see how this might work well with family members taking turns reading as the tour guide or pretending to be the tourist asking questions. When you're reading, you'll have to "detour" to read picture captions and the occasional sidebar, or to try out a recipe.
Ten "In Service of Others" articles are scattered throughout the book. These inspirational stories tell of people who "have followed their dreams and used his/her talents in Africa."
The subtitle of the book tells us that it is written from a Christian perspective. This happens very naturally at appropriate moments in the text. The deeper Christian thread is that the book helps us develop a love and concern for the people of Africa.
Each chapter ends with a review page of comprehension questions, discussion questions, research topics, shorter research assignments for oral presentations, "logical thinking" questions that might also require a little research, vocabulary words list, jokes (yes, there are actually jokes in the review section!) and recommended books. Answers to the questions are in the back of the book. Brief teaching instructions are at the front of the book, so there is not separate teacher manual.
Even though the book is 323 pages in length, Ann Jansen still had to be selective about topics to keep the book to a reasonable length. She begins with an overview of Africa in the first unit then divides Africa into five geographical regions for the next five units. She overviews each region, then narrows down to a more in-depth study of only one or two countries in each region.
Unit seven studies animals of Africa and Unit eight features four art projects. Chapters within these two units are intended to be read and used while studying the first six units. It should take about 14 weeks to complete the study.
The How to Draw and Color book teaches children how to draw all the animals studied in the seventh unit plus a few extras. The drawing method is copying shapes as illustrated in the book rather than having children draw what they actually see—some parents will prefer one method to the other, so it's up to you whether or not to use this approach.
The Coloring and Fun Pages book has appealing, black line coloring pages plus activity pages such as rebuses, mazes, word searches, and crosswords. This book is also optional.
You can expand the study and make it easier on yourself by buying the Unit Study Kit. The kit features expanded lesson plans for the fourteen-week unit study that should require about three hours per day, four days per week. While the kit primarily targets grades five through eight, it also includes activity pages for children in grades two through five as well as for those in eighth grade and up. Since lesson plans for several ages are included, a strength of this unit study is that your children and you will learn about Africa as a family. Another great feature is that all the supplies needed for the entire course are included. The kit includes the instructor's manual with lesson plans, student activity pages, three copies of the core book, three copies of Coloring and Fun Pages, one copy of How to Draw and Color, an Eyewitness book on Africa, Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling, a biography of Samuel Morris (from Christian Library), a book and CD on deserts (from Interfact), African Activity Book, Nigeria (from Evan-Moor), DVD's, games, review cards, three music CDs, and all the art and science supplies needed.
I wondered why three copies of the core book were included, so author Ann Jansen explained that her "target market" is families with two or more children who will be participating. Within the unit study, students use the core books for history, geography, science, and art, so the core books are used very frequently. Also, children each need to have the text, maps, photos, and illustrations in front of them for discussion, questions, and some of the activities.
Those with older children might want to check out the self-guided version of the course for children in grades seven and up. This lighter version covers geography, history, science, and vocabulary. The instructor has duplicated pages so he/she can jump in at any time to quiz the student or help with questions.Whether you do the expanded unit study or just the core book, this is a wonderful way to teach your children about Africa.

The man accused of shooting at police heard the charges against him Friday.
Frank Goad is facing attempted first degree murder of a peace officer, attempted robbery, and aggravated robbery.
During the advisement, the judge called Goad's name and at first, he didn't appear.
Minutes later, the judge tried again and this time Goad complied and listened to the charges.
The most serious charge stems from events on Tuesday. Police received a report that a shot had been fired near Goose Gossage Park in Colorado Springs.
Police arrived to investigate, and found Goad there with another man, Patrick Addison.
According to court papers only obtained by 11 News, a police officer approached the pair, and Addison did what the officer said.
Goad allegedly stood up and fired three shots at the officer. The officer fired back, but Goad got away.
Goad was on the run for several days, before a Manitou Springs police officer spotted him walking down the street and arrested him.
He is also accused of trying to carjack a vehicle following that alleged shooting.
11 News has learned that police believe Goad robbed a 7-11 the day before he was arrested. According to court papers in that case, Goad allegedly pointed a gun at two cashiers, demanding cash and cigarettes. Police were able to use surveillance video to connect Goad to the crime.
Goad is being held on $525,000 bond and is scheduled to be in court August 8th.
You can trust 11 News to let you know what happens during the proceeding.

'Awake,' Season 1, Episode 3, 'Guilty': TV Recap
The episode opens with John Cooper, a prisoner getting dialysis. Cooper uses the medical excursion as a chance to escape from his guards. Everything is in cool tones, so we're in the world where Rex is alive, but it turns out that in both worlds Michael and his previous partner are the ones who arrested John for killing a drug dealer.
Again on an adventure without his father, Rex is driving to a tournament with his (young, pretty) tennis coach. They talk, and he admits he's having trouble bonding with his father after his mother's death because he would rather his mother was alive. The tennis-coach-turn-therapist tells him it's OK to have these feelings, right as they are rear-ended at a stoplight by Cooper. Cooper incapacitates the tennis coach and kidnaps Rex.
Rex wakes up in a shack in the middle of the desert. He tries to call 911 from the cell he hid in his sock but the call won't get through. Since there's not much he can do without a signal, Rex records a video diary message for his father.
Cooper arranges a meeting with Michael, alone. He says he didn't kill the drug dealer and asks Michael to help him prove who the real killer was. Cooper is just about to tell him who the killer was, when he suddenly is shot dead by Michael's former partner. Clearly the partner is the one who set Cooper up, but it's going to take Michael twenty minutes yet to figure that out.
Instead, Michael runs home and swallows a handful of pills, waking up in Hannah's world. It's the day of a fundraiser in Rex's memory at the youth center. Michael tells Hannah he needs to find a kidnapped child, but she is angry with him. She goes solo to the event, and gives a passionate speech in Rex's honor.
Michael goes to visit Cooper in Hannah's world where he's still alive and in prison. Cooper tells Michael a cop was behind the drug dealer's death. Now it clicks, and Michael realizes it was his old partner who was behind it. He goes to confront him while wearing a wire and gets him to admit to the crime. He calls Cooper in prison, and gets the information he needs about where the kidnap shack is located.
Michael wakes back up in Rex's world and rushes to rescue him in the desert. The tennis coach comes to visit Rex in the hospital, and cries on Michael's shoulder before handing over Rex's video recordings. In them, Rex says he doesn't blame Michael for the accident, and he shouldn't feel guilty himself. Michael wakes up with Hannah and apologizes for missing the fundraiser. They make amends as well.
In abbreviated therapy sessions, Michael's therapists break things down for us. Dr. Lee tells Michael he must have subconsciously known there was something fishy with the Cooper case, and used his dream to work out his innocence, while Dr. Evans tells him he felt guilty, so he created a dream where he freed Cooper.
How long do you think Michael can balance these two worlds if he's already turning to sleeping pills? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles across the district as an impending storm chops up the surface of the lake known as the Old Lady. As he rows home from his friend John Arnold's house on this wild night, Brownie ponders the parallel turbulence that has followed him throughout his life. He hadn't been welcomed when he arrived in the coastal fishing community. He hadn't been welcomed by Anna's family when they fell in love. Just as he'd walked away from his family,… (più)

It looks like the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association is staying in Colorado Springs and not taking 17 million dollars in incentives to move to New Mexico.
The PRCA board announced the reversal yesterday.
The organization says the decision was prompted by the unwillingness of the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy to also move.
The Hall of Fame's board unanimously voted Monday to table the idea.
When the PRCA announced in February it would move to New Mexico, officials said the Hall of Fame also would relocate.
New Mexico's financial offer specified both must move.
Meanwhile, the PRCA says there's no word on whether it'll accept Colorado Springs' counter offer to stay, which Mayor Lionel Rivera says includes tax-exempt bonds to improve its existing complex or build a new one.

I am from the UK, (now living in Michigan) and I have lived in total depravity all my life… since I could walk I played soccer.

Rather than the beautiful game of football, enjoyed by the rest of the world, American football is depraved.
After ignoring the drugs that appear to be rampant in the "sport", it encompasses two of the worst practices of civilization: meetings and war.
