'Hardbody' a play-development model
La Jolla Playhouse-bred musical an example of regional-to-Broadway done right
When "Hands on a Hardbody" begins performances in New York this month, it will hands-down become the Broadway musical with the most NC-17-sounding title — at least until "Kinky Boots" arrives in March. (But don't fret, families: The title refers to a vehicle chassis, nothing unchaste.)
"Hardbody" is poised to claim another distinction as well: In the long history of shows exported from La Jolla Playhouse to Broadway, it'll be the first such musical to have been not just developed at the Playhouse but originally commissioned by the theater.
In that way, it adds a new wrinkle to what has been at times a controversial topic in theater circles: the role of nonprofit regional companies such as the Playhouse and the crosstown Old Globe Theatre in incubating and producing work that winds up on commercial stages.
These are, after all, publicly supported institutions meant to exist for the benefit of the local community, not for the enrichment of Broadway producers. The argument from those troubled by the rise of the regional-to-Broadway pipeline is that it risks enticing nonprofit theaters to chase Broadway bait — programming splashy, mass-appeal work rather than the more grass-roots art that regional theaters were meant to foster.
Of course, such arrangements offer benefits to the local theaters, too — potentially huge ones that arguably can help support a bona fide artistic mission.
Once upon a time, producers angling to land a show on Broadway would simply rent a theater in Boston or Hartford, put up their production and give the show a classic out-of-town tryout. The idea was to gauge audience reaction and figure out potential fixes to the piece, relatively free from media scrutiny.
Now, most pre-Broadway productions follow a more complicated path. A typical scenario: Producers with a bead on what might be a hot theatrical property bring it to a regional theater, complete with what are known as "enhancement" funds — money to plump up the nonprofit's staging. (The money, which can be tax-deductible, runs from the hundreds of thousands of dollars into the millions.)
The local theater gets to roll out a more fully realized show than it otherwise could have afforded, with the (slim) potential of a financial windfall down the road (through royalties) if the property becomes a Broadway hit.
The producers get a chance to see how the show fares onstage before a paying audience, and benefit from the expertise of the theater's in-house artists and designers.
Everyone wins. Except, maybe, playgoers who missed out on witnessing some new, exciting but little-heralded work that didn't get produced, and whose creators didn't get the support to develop their ideas.
While such partnerships have long since become commonplace, you can bet they're still a sensitive topic.
This fall, the Old Globe will stage the world premiere of "The Honeymooners," a musical based on the classic '50s television series. It's the kind of show that has Broadway ambition written all over it.
But at a recent forum with local press, Barry Edelstein, the theater's new artistic director, was quick to praise the show's script (by two TV veterans) and explain his position on such productions.
Edelstein said he's comfortable with producing work that has Broadway aspirations "provided it's the right thing for this theater to do." The litmus test, he added, is this: "It has to be a piece I would do anyway."
Which brings us back to "Hardbody." More than most Broadway-bound shows that have originated here, the musical feels rooted in its home theater and the network of artist relationships it has built. The Playhouse commissioned the piece from Doug Wright, the playwright who won a Pulitzer Prize for "I Am My Own Wife" — a play first workshopped in La Jolla in 2001.

Over the next few weeks, IBM will be offering a series of webcasts entitled the Power of i. The webcast series will start with a session on developing and refreshing business applications on IBM i®. In later sessions you will hear about how to power up your analytics and you will hear about the new announcements for IBM i.
As a special thank you after you attend one or all of our webcasts, we will send you the "Maximize POWER7™ and IBM i 7.1 – A guide to benefits, features and functions", the System iNetwork Power Pack. If you are interested in learning about IBM, i, please register for the program of your choice using the links below. Don't miss this opportunity to get all the latest news on i, from the convenience of your office.
|Session 1: Tools and Strategies for Developing and Refreshing Business Applications on IBM i,
Tuesday, October 25, 2011 – 2 p.m Eastern time, 11 a.m. Pacific time
Today's IT challenges are to deliver application services faster, with higher quality, and with superior economics. And as businesses respond to these challenges by leveraging existing and new applications, they face a rapidly changing set of options for development platforms, web technologies, programming languages, and modernization tools. IBM i developers are uniquely positioned to take advantage of new technologies -- like WebSphere® and PHP™ -- while capitalizing on their existing application investments in RPG® and other traditional languages. Alison Butterill will review the latest industry trends for IBM i application development and modernization, including IBM Rational® development and collaboration tools. Mike Pavlak will share the latest news from Zend™ and Susan Gantner will give her perspective of what's hot in IBM i development shops.
|Session 2: Power up your analytics with strategies to modernize Query/400 reports
Tuesday, November 8, 2011 —- 2 p.m. Eastern time, 11 a.m. Pacific time
For many IBM i clients, Query/400 has been the tried and true report writer to deliver information for analysis purposes. Modernizing that reporting environment provides many benefits, including better performance, better management tools, self service ad-hoc reporting in real time - all while removing a dependency on IT to deliver that information. For some, the data warehouse might be the answer. For others that don't have the budget or bandwidth, something in between may fit the bill - however, for ALL, creating (and executing) a Query/400 modernization strategy based on DB2® for i solutions is the answer! This session will cover several modernization strategies and solutions that are optimized for IBM i.
|Session 3: Moving up to 7 - IBM i 7.1 recent announcements and POWER7 value
Tuesday, November 29, 2011 —- 2 p.m. Eastern time, 11 a.m. Pacific time
This session will provide an overview of the latest IBM announcements for IBM i. We will discuss the business value clients are experiencing with new IBM i 7.1 and the new POWER7 processor-based systems. You will learn about best practices in moving up to the latest systems and IBM i 7.1, as well as hear client experiences as they moved to new Power Systems and IBM i 7.1.

Mom Overachievers
I don't want to compete with other mothers. Really.
Motherhood isn't a competition. It may be a weird, surprising, twisted and hopefully joyful journey, but certainly not a contest.
However the antics of some mothers make me feel like I'm falling down on the job. It's as though they've commandeered the definition of what constitutes being a "good mom" and radically overhauled it without consulting me. I just can't keep up. I'm not sure why some of the things parents are doing these days bug me so much, but I concur with blogger Jen Singer when she says to over-achiever moms: Knock it off, will ya? You're making things impossible for the rest of us mothers with our feet of clay.
It started the other day when I was reading the New York Times and spotted a front page article about middle school girls whose mothers shell out hard-earned cash to bling-up their daughters' school lockers. I'm not talking about the garden variety stuff I bought for my middle schoolers like a plain magnetic pen holder, mirror and utilitarian foldable stand. (Even though buying those items felt like a splurge to me.)
The mothers in this New York Times story bought - hold onto your coffee mugs - shag carpeting, wallpaper, decorative flowers, motion-sensor lights and (I still can't even believe this is a real thing) locker chandeliers among other decorative items.
Locker. Chandeliers.
"If middle school had an emblem, it would be the locker, the first taste of privacy at school at a moment in life when that means a lot," Elissa Gootman wrote in the Times. "At the same time, lockers are public, visible to anyone walking down the hallway, and therefore an ideal platform to convey one's image. After all, your bedroom may be worthy of the PBteen catalog, but if the popular girls never see it, they will never know."
Because apparently it's important for mothers to stoke the flames of tween and teen competition, reinforce the notion that a locker reflects a student's personality (an unadorned locker full of books = smart?) and promote parental over-involvement with a girl's "first taste of privacy" by wasting money on something as insipid as locker chandeliers. Did I somehow miss the news story about the scourge of dimly lit school hallways and lockers that damage students' vision thereby necessitating locker chandeliers?
Then one of my writer pals, Kristin Brandt, blogged about another parental "trend," that of wildly over-the-top, motivational, sparkly, educational lunchbox notes that mothers are apparently writing, and the businesses that have sprung up to meet this so-called "need." (World hunger = a need. Motivational lunchbox notes . . . not so much.)
I completely agree with this article! But mommy tracked, really?
The ads of Brooke Burke's (nearly unattainable) body right next to this article send us the same message!!
I wouldn't run a marathon regardless of being pregnant or in labor, but whatever floats each person. As to the scripted note pads, I laugh each time I see them at the store. The thing is motherhood is hard enough whether you work outside of the home, from home or as a homemaker - it is a matter of what works best for your family and life. I am too cheap however to buy a chandelier for my child's locker even though that is luckily many years away. We are just trying to survive Kindergarten.
I didn't slack during either pregnancy, and I'm no marathon runner. I worked full-time until two weeks before each birth (couldn't reach the clutch on my cars anymore by then, as I carried up front and enormous, and have very short legs), walked constantly, gained no more than 23 pounds with either son (no competition, I just ate healthy food, didn't submit to cravings and exercised. My sons were 9 lbs 12 oz, and 7 lbs 11 oz...at 22.5" each) and was a very happy pregnant woman. Did I do something wrong? Amber is a marathon runner, and what she did she does as a matter of course. For herself. For the majority of women, it would be an impossibility...but why be disrespectful of her? I find it funny and touching that she was honest enough to say that labor and delivery were harder than running a marathon.
My son's middle school only allows moderate locker decoration. I tend to think that some of the haute locker accessories are entertaining, but also a bit excessive, and definitely a new contrivance to appeal to moms who want their girls to be girlie, trendy, and insure their status as socially elite in the school culture. Their actually is a great deal of competitiveness among mothers in the school systems, especially from middle school forward, and more so with girls than with boys. I am not saying that all mothers engage in this...they don't. However, far too many are obsessed with their daughters' status, appearance, appeal and popularity. This is proved out by the all too numerous scandals surrounding cheering, dancers, gymnasts and other female dominated groups in the high schools. It is the mothers driving these fierce, and sometimes deadly competitions. Frankly, the thought of a mother purchasing breast enhancements for her 16 year old (who is in no way finished developing, or mature enough for such cosmetic surgery) to further her goals in high school cheer or dance is disturbing and disgusting.
However, if a girl wants to purchase some of these (ridiculously) expensive items of decor for her locker, why not? If she wants to accessorize in some other, more individual and creative way, even better. Especially if either is purely her own idea. I don't necessarily perceive competition in this (though they are competitive, even in middle school, incredibly, disturbingly, heart-breakingly so)...but I also don't think it's crucial to achieving their individuality and true identity. Girls hung pictures from Tiger Beat and Seventeen magazines in their lockers when I was that age (I hung pictures from Creem and Heavy Metal, the boys tried to hang centerfolds from Playboy and Penthouse). This is just a more commercialized, deliberate enterprise.
As for notes in lunches, yes I have written and deposited a few for blue children, or nervous test-takers. And my harried, hard-working husband, too. I'm not in competition with other moms at all. But maybe the column's author will think so after this reveal. I can cook like a mad woman, and did it even when working full-time. I can fix cars (older models), change tires, and change oil...including filters. I can hem pants and sew on buttons so they won't fall off...ever. I can balance a checkbook, raise a newborn kitten, beat up monsters in closets and tell one hell of a ghost story (convincing enough to terrify full-grown adults). I have a weird sense of humor, know more about military strategy, tactics, armaments, weapons and warriors than most men I know, can debunk most of the popular paranormal shows, and have a black belt in tae kwon do. I cannot use hot rollers, a flat iron, a curling iron or curlers...but I give a mean buzz cut, and wear one myself. I like Hello Kitty and Clive Barker, have a collection of erotica, and believe my very small family always comes first.
So, do you want me to Just Stop? I'm not in competition with anyone, you know...but you probably think that I am. Which, my dear, not only is ridiculous, but simply furthers those Mommy Wars. I've never felt in competition with other moms, superior to any, or cared much how others viewed me. We are all individuals, and it's time that so many stopped even joking about The Competition. Live, and let be.
"Working Moms, - DONT HATE .. be happy for the Moms who can, and do. Chances are they can help you out too!"
COMPLETELY inappropriate comment, the article had nothing to do with mom's working situation. Plus your comments assumes that working Mom's "can't" and "don't" do any of those things.
What really bothered me about the New York Times article is that it was yet another example of the parent taking over and doing what the child should be doing. My child's locker is just that, THEIR locker. It is their responsibility to decorate, not mine. If they want to use their money and buy that stuff, fine (and I'll fully admit, I would have LOVED that stuff at the same age) but I'm not trudging into school to put it up for them. I think one parent in the article said something like decorating her child's locker helped her (not her daughter) ease into the transition into middle school. So whose benefit is this decorating for, the child or the parent?
Locker chandeliers belong in the same category as standing mani-pedi appointments for middle schoolers. I have to laugh sometimes when my 11 year old daughter comes home with such outlandish requests just because "so and so" at school is doing it. After we have a chat about priorities she usually agrees that stuff like that is ridiculous to obsess over.
I am a lunch box note mommy and I even write trivia for Jonah because he doesn't want me to write little love letters on his napkin. I have never thought once that I was in competition with other moms. My dad put little notes of endearment around for us while we were growning up sometimes in my lunch box other times I would find them in my car or on my bed. It is a tradition I carried on. As for the lockers well, that was a bit over the top and since I haven't even seen any of Mitchell's lockers you can rest assured I won't be hanging any chandeliers.
I agree with you 100% on the lunchbox bling and the shag carpeting and wallpaper for lockers. I have to admit, though, I think those locker chandeliers are a little bit awesome.
Every mother does what feels right to her. I strongly believe this to be true. Amber was an avid, life-long runner and finished a marathon by walking a mile, running a mile and did it in 3 hours longer than her normal time. She did what felt normal to her. Not all of us are marathoners, but to her it would have been out of character to sit around like a beached whale eating bon bons for 9 months. I don't view this as a competition, this is just moms doing what they do and being comfortable in their own skin. There are no slackers, there are no over-achievers, we all just do what feels right. If it's not locker chandeliers and marathons, that doesn't mean that those moms need to 'knock it off" just because you feel insecure about not doing those things. All we can do is be ourselves and be authentic....whether that authenticity is in the form of over-embellishing, our sense of humor, making brownies or running marathons. We need to remember it's not a contest and we don't need to ridicule those who we perceive as 'over-achievers.'
Well, this is very funny., I say HOlD ON THERE. Any Mom who is upset about other kids lockers is too busy body herself. She feels
like she has to keep up with other Moms, she is missing the point. Moms do what we can, when we can! I am a crafty type mom, and I would LOVE to give my daughter a cool locker theme. But she wont let me! When I saw another middle schooler locker all done up, I was thinking WOW, way to go, and I want to do that too! BUT the locker is not MINE, it is my daughters. If she wants a chandelier, and wants to pay for it- Good for her. Whenever there is a sport tournament, I am one of the Moms who go and decorate ALL the teams locker. I love it! that is fun for me! AND the kids like the recognition. I say- chill out! If you have time DO IT, and if you don't- then don't. If your teen wants a special locker you should try to help her get it done. Working Moms, - DONT HATE .. be happy for the Moms who can, and do. Chances are they can help you out too!
I enjoyed reading this, and I agree with your general annoyance, but one of these things is not like the other. Marathon mama - well, good for her I guess, but it seems like a very personal drive she has that most of us can not relate to and that really has nothing to do with parenting. Your first two examples are not examples of parents competing to be the best parents - they are just examples of consumerism run wild, and the unfortunate passing down of materialism from one generation to the next. Help your kid learn how to organize their locker = good parenting. Buying stupid unnecessary stuff for the lockers, no. Writing a heart-felt note - ok, although I never felt the need to connect with the kids while they are at school learning to be their own people. Buying pre-made notes, no. Stop teaching your kids that you have to buy more and more stuff to be a good parent or to be happy. Every bit of research on the topic shows that buying stuff makes you happy very briefly, then almost immediately you are even more dissatisfied.

Can you show us a scan of what you started with, and examples of what you've tried?
Hey gang - love perusing the site and checking out all the amazing creativity around here. Keep it up!
I asked for some input on this problem a long time ago, and tried to implement the suggestions... but... the results aren't as good as I really want. I need more finite control.
Anyway, I posted a few maps way back when that are part of a 70+ full 8.5x11 re-creation of a 30 year old D&D campaign world. We're trying to digitize thousands of pages of completely original content, including these edge-to-edge maps. It's a pretty cool project, but LOADS of work.
I'm in charge of re-creating the new maps in Photoshop based on the pencil line drawings which only indicate mountain ridges, craters, and canyons with simple little lines. I've drawn about five different map tiles about twelve different ways, but these mountains, craters, and canyons are killing me. I need some advice or tips.
Essentially, all mountain ranges have critical importance, so I must respect the placement of the ridges which are at times very complex. I've tried using the Render Clouds technique for generating the mountains and hills, but they are way too random and just don't look right - especially when trying to create the craters and canyons. The fixed nature of the geography and topography are imperative, so I have to find a technique that is far more predictable but won't take forever to create (i.e. I really don't want to hand draw 70+ maps by hand if I don't have too... we aren't sure this will get published!).
I'm VERY fond of Ascension's overland mapping style, but I can't seem to find a way to control the creation of the geography so hillls, mountains, alpine areas, and all the rest are exactly where they need to be.
Can someone please chime in and help me figure out the best way to create predictable geographic features with Photoshop? I appreciate every tip I can get.
Can you show us a scan of what you started with, and examples of what you've tried?
predictable = hand drawn ... mabye you could scan the original map and brush up in photoshop after? ... if you use illustrator as well, you can vectorize the lines there for added sharpness and control.

Based of what's here, I don't think it's really possible to get randomly generated terrain to line up with a pre-existing map. You'll probably need to put the scans into PS, Illustrator, or Inkscape and use it as a backdrop for either hand-editing.
Or you can also use it as a backdrop to guide placement, and then use the tutorials to build something and slide single features around and into appropriate places. You'll probably have to create several runs of the randomly generated maps to get enough features that look right.

Assuming I stick with fantasy cartography, I'd like to become a World Builder, laying out not only a realistic topography, but also the geopolitical boundaries and at least rough descriptions of the countries and societies.
What you need to is take the random clouds and then hand paint black and white over top to fit how the terrain is supposed to be. For starters just paint the oceans solid black. On the land use the 50% gray (true neutral gray not 50% opacity) and set the blend mode to multiply and use an airbrush at 3% to darken areas that need to be lower (thus darker). Then set the blend mode to screen and paint the areas that need to be higher (thus lighter). Do your painting on different layers so that if it doesn't come out right then you can just delete the layer and try again. Once you get your land situated then you can go back and do some lightening around the coasts and darkening for the deep parts of the ocean. When you do the render-lighting effects make sure to render the land separate from the ocean.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Rear Gear SwapWritten by on January 1, 1998 Easy Bolt-On
In the Nov. 1998 CC you read about a real-world street machine buildup using a 1970 Duster. As part of the story, we shoehorned in a stout 360 V-8 and an 8 3/4 rearend. The rear came with an open diff and 3.23:1 gears, but we perused the classifieds and found a rearend pig loaded with a limited-slip (Sure-Grip) differential and steep 4.30:1 gears. Installing a new centersection in a Mopar 8:3/4 rear, Ford 8- or 9-inch rear, or early-style (1955-1964) GM 10-bolt is easy--the job is similar for all those diffs--and it can be done in an afternoon. There are a few special tools and tricks to properly performing the work, and thats exactly what this story is about--showing you whats really needed to do a swap.

Use a floorjack to lift the rear of the car off the ground, and position jackstands under the car frame just ahead of the front springboxes. Remove the rear lug nuts (breaker bar and usually a 3/4- or 13/16-inch socket) and remove the rear tires. Slide off the rear brake drums, which may require backing off the brake shoes if the brakes are worn.Use a ratchet, usually with a 9/16-inch socket and 2-inch extension, to remove the four or five axle-bearing-retainer nuts. Accessing the nuts requires aligning the factory-drilled hole in the axle with the nut to be removed. Some aftermarket axles don't have an access hole so you'll have to use an open-end wrench.With the axle-bearing retainer plate loose, slide out the axles. In some instances, the axles will be a tight fit in the rearend housing; you can pull them out by installing the brake drum backward and threading on a few lug nuts using the drum as a slide hammer. Don't be too surprised if gear oil pukes out the axle housing.When removing the axles, don't damage the axle seal in the end of the housing; remove the axle all the way rather than letting it rest on the seal. Note the position of the retainer plate gasket, axleshafts, and shims so they can go back where they came from. Inspect the axleshafts, bearings, and seals for damage that may need repair.Remove the four U-joint strap bolts using an end wrench (usually 7/16 or 3/8), then remove the driveshaft. Remove eight of the ten rearend centersection nuts (using a ratchet with 9/16-inch socket) and loosen the two remaining bolts, but do not remove them. Position a drain pan under the rearend and use a screwdriver to seperate the centersection from the rearend housing, allowing the gear oil to drain out. Pew!Remove the last two nuts and then pull out the centersection. It's heavy, so you may want to position a floor jack under the centersection to hold its weight and then lower it using the jack.Reach into the rearend housing to feel for shavings, dirt, cracks, or wear. Use your fingers to slosh the remaining gear lube into the drain pan.If your new rearend centersection does not have a factory pinion snubber (if applicable) attached to it, reuse the snubber assembly from the old centersection.
Carefully install the new centersection into the rearend housing so that it properly aligns on the 10 mounting studs.Thread on the 10 centersection retainer nuts and then use a torque wrench to tighten the nuts to 45 lb-ft. Rotate the pinion gear by hand to ensure no binding or interference occurs.Reinstall the axles being careful not to gouge the axle bearings and/or axle bearing seals. Year One has new foam axle gaskets if you want 'em. Thread on the axle bearing retainer plate nuts.Use a torque wrench to tighten the axle bearing retainer plate nuts to 35 lb-ft, making sure the axle doesn't bind as you tighten.Most Mopar 8 3/4-inch rearends have an axle adjuster on the passenger-side axleshaft. After the axles are in, there should be about 0.008- to 0.018-inch endplay or problems may result. To adjust endplay, rotate the notched adjuster ring. On rearends so equipped (such as a Mopar 8 3/4) be sure to reinstall the endplay adjuster ring retainer clip that mounts using one of the axle bearing retaining plate nuts. On rearends without an adjuster ring, axle endplay can be adjusted using different thickness gaskets/shims.Install the proper amount of rearend gear lube using the fill hole in the side of the centersection. Most of the Mopar 8 3/4-inch rearends require about 2 1/2 to 3 quarts of lube. Or, just fill it until oil drools out of the fill hole and you'll usually be close enough.Before bolting up the driveshaft, make sure you have the right yoke, as two different U-joint sizes were used on the cars that came with 8 3/4 axles. The spline count affects yoke interchangeability, and so does the pinion type; changing yokes on the 489-casting-number case is difficult to do properly because they set pinion depth with a crush sleeve that can be damaged if you over-tighten the pinion nut.After you're done, rotate the pinion gear to ensure proper rearend operation. If it's OK, reinstall the driveshaft. Afterward, reinstall the brake drums and rear tires. Remove the jackstands from the car and then road test it to verify proper operation. Switching from the stock gears to 4.30:1 gears made our Duster a real street/strip warrior—we were really diggin its new launching prowess.

My users cannot add tags to appointment in shared calendar.
Adding tags to their own appointments works, the problem is only with appointments in shared calendar.
I am not sure is this possible at all or something wrong with shared calendar settings/preference.
We also tried giving 'Manager' role to users with whom the calendar is shared.
Thanks & Regards

Quality Lighting & Fixtures for your New Home
If you are building a new house, there is no doubt you'll spend some time making decisions about the type of light and fixtures you'll want both inside and outside your home. If you are buying pre-drawn house plans like those found at The House Plan Shop, be aware that MOST, but not ALL of these construction drawings will come with a basic electrical plan reflecting the locations of fixtures, outlets and switches. It will be up to the electrician to run the wiring and install the fixtures, outlets and switches according to local electrical codes. However, you are not limited to what the floor plan suggests or recommends. As the home owner, you will work out all lighting selections with your builder and electrician. Take some time to review the different types of lighting fixtures you may need to include in your new home.
Outdoor Lighting Fixtures: Proper outdoor lighting achieves two goals, safety and aesthetic beauty. Your choices and placement of outdoor lighting fixtures is the most important aspect in creating an outdoor lighting plan. They enhance safety and security, as well as, the outdoor appearance/nighttime curb appeal of your home. For safety and security, use lighting at all doorways including the garage doors, front and rear porches, sliding doors for the deck or walkout basement and any other service doors. Be sure to light pathways such as sidewalks, porches and patios. Some good choices include motion lights and dusk-to-dawn fixtures so you don't have to remember to turn them on or off. They simply light the way when necessary. For aesthetic appeal, choose lighting fixtures that blend with the architectural style of your home. Strategically place the fixtures to illuminate special exterior features of your home such as the decorative detailing of the façade or a dramatic roofline.
Landscape Lighting Fixtures: Just like outdoor lighting, landscape lighting enhances the aesthetic beauty of the home and increases security, but it also highlights the surrounding plantings and shrubbery that dress up the home's exterior and yard. It will have a major effect on the overall appearance of your home when used to highlight architectural features and scenery. Furthermore, with the growing trend of families entertaining outdoors, it sets the mood and adds to the atmosphere of your outdoor entertainment space from the deck or screened porch to the patio or lanai.
Interior Lighting Fixtures: Your interior lighting plan will cover a broad range of fixtures, styles and purposes. Certain rooms in your new house may require very specific types of lighting. For instance, in many homes the kitchen is a hub of activity handling everything from preparing meals and informal dining to serving as workspace, homework and computer center, and a place for casual conversation. Your kitchen lighting must reflect your lifestyle and the activities that take place in this multi-functional space. Consider task lighting positioned above major work areas such as the meal-prep island, sink and built-in computer desk. Use under-cabinet lighting to illuminate countertops. No matter how many different types of lighting fixtures you need, it is necessary to choose functional and safe lighting in the kitchen. The gathering places are another space that you'll want to consider multiple types of lighting fixtures. Perhaps a fixture with a ceiling fan centered above the great room will illuminate the space and offer circulation. Consider lamps on end tables near the sofas or the recliner for reading. Choose a decorative fixture for illuminating artwork to highlight your favorite painting or the family portrait above the fireplace. There are a multitude of fixtures for illuminating an entire room such as the dining room while providing an elegant look. Consider a decorative chandelier large enough to light the entire room. Add a dimmer switch here to set the mood for different occasions with various levels of light. Recessed lighting also works well for an entire room, plus it is usually easy to install. It can also be controlled with a dimmer switch depending on the occasion or need for lighting. Bathroom lighting requires a combination of fixtures used in the right places. It is necessary to achieve bright light for styling hair, applying make-up in shaving while not overdoing the brightness as to create a relaxing atmosphere for a soothing soak in the spa tub. Be sure that pathways, entries and hallways have proper lighting, making it easy for the entire family to move about the home day or night with a sure step. Consider an overhead fixture centrally located in the bedrooms with a bedside lamp on the nightstand and maybe a desk lamp if the children do homework in their bedrooms. The garage, craft room, laundry room and workspaces such as a workshop require bright task lighting. Fluorescent lighting such as shop light fixtures are practical in these spaces. Recessed lighting can be used throughout the home. It creates a dramatic effect in many rooms while being versatile enough to satisfy a variety of needs. Finally, don't forget mini nightlights in the kids' rooms, the bathroom, staircases and hallways lighting dark rooms and spaces through the night and offering safety for everyone.
Before you begin buying light fixtures, take some time to talk with your builder and electrician. Come up with a comprehensive lighting plan that will accommodate your needs, provide safety and work well with your architectural style and decorating themes.
For more information, please review "Light It Up" in The House Plan Shop's resource section.

When the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, or IMRF, started its engagement journey in 2009, career growth for employees wasn't a priority. With little turnover among its 175 employees, "there are not a lot of advancement opportunities," says Dan Duquette, deputy executive director of the Oak Brook-based organization, which administers employee pension plans for nearly 3,000 units of government in Illinois.
In fact, engagement was an afterthought, Duquette says. The organization's vision is to "provide excellent customer service" to its 400,000 members, yet until recently it had no formal way to determine if employees met that expectation.
As a government entity, the IMRF faces no competition, which presented additional challenges, says human resources manager Linda Bieniek. "We're not going to lose customers because of poor service, since our members have nowhere else to go."
So in 2009, IMRF applied for a continuous-improvement award from the Lincoln Foundation for Performance Excellence, a not-for-profit based in neighboring Naperville. The aim: Have an independent source analyze the IMRF's operations and workforce and pinpoint areas that need improvement.
The two-year-long process was worth it, Duquette says, and not just because the Lincoln Foundation bestowed a Bronze Award on the IMRF in January 2010. The icing on the cake, he says, is a 63-page "feedback report" issued by examiners after spending nearly a week at the IMRF's offices, including interviews with employees. Copies were given to every employee.
"They told us: 'You identified employees as key stakeholders, yet you're not measuring anything about your workforce,' " Duquette says.
That finding prompted the IMRF to implement an annual engagement survey by Washington, D.C.-based LeadershipIQ. Although the IMRF has scored well overall on the first two surveys, taken in 2009 and 2010, Duquette notes areas needing improvement.
Two priorities: Provide employees with the resources they need to excel and train supervisors to praise employees for specific job accomplishments. Results of the next survey are due in August, Duquette says, and "we're anxious to see if we've moved the needle."

Anybody heard of this?
http://www.unipexinnovations.com/en/pro ... &from=name
The interesting thing is they claim it can can lengthen eye lashes.
I was reading about it on another forum and red flags were raised about it, but apparently the company is offering free trials to people in France.
I don't think it's available yet commercially the company is trying to license the formula to one of the big cosmetics players.
taken from a press release
http://www.unipexinnovations.com/en/new ... =54&y=2011
According to a poster on this Spanish site a trial has been done with 600 usersCapixylTM, a proven alternative to address hair loss
CapixylTM is a biomimetic peptide combined with a red clover extract. Based on the combined and synergistic action of its two ingredients, CapixylTM targets directly three contributing factors in hair loss. It prevents hair miniaturization, favors a better hair anchoring, and reduces inflammation, an aggravating factor in hair loss. CapixylTM is a clinically proven alternative to address hair loss and boost hair growth! Clinical tests demonstrate its effectiveness in increasing the hair density by 46% in addition to being more effective on hair growth than the reference product on the market and without causing side effects.

Welcome to the forum.
I just wanted to say "hello". I'm 38 years old, am married and have 2 stepkids. I love hunting out in western US when I can afford it. I have been collecting points in most of the states out west for the last 12 years. Some years I didn't put in...because things were tight, but I'm hoping in the next 30 years to hunt some great animals. I'm looking to learn from all the great hunters, that hunt hard every year they can go.

Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Announced
A Personal Journey
At the age of four, philanthropist and Sanford Health namesake, T. Denny Sanford, lost his mother Edith to breast cancer. Today with a $100 million dollar gift from Mr. Sanford, we are honored to launch Edith Sanford Breast Cancer.
This major expansion of Sanford Health's medical research and clinical care will explore a woman's genetic code. Edith Sanford Breast Cancer will connect and mobilize women to participate in research. We will raise support to treat and cure breast cancer for future generations. We will decode the genetic make-up of every woman and work to evaluate each woman's risk, identify best treatments and ultimately end breast cancer.
While Mr. Sanford's gift helped spur a fundraising effort, Edith Sanford Breast Cancer now relies on you. We ask you to participate in research and raise support so we can treat and cure breast cancer.
Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Center
As part of this announcement, Sanford plans to build the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Center, a tower between the existing Sanford Health Cancer Center and the VanDemark building at Sanford Health Medical Center, Sioux Falls. Plans also are underway to expand the Roger Maris Cancer Center at the Sanford Health Medical Center, Fargo.
The Beginnings of the BioBank
Edith Sanford Breast Cancer will house a repository for genetic information from women of all ages, medical histories and backgrounds. This BioBank will collect, process and store genetic samples, a library for researchers to accelerate the pace of research. A common obstacle in health research is when research studies begin. Often researchers study diseases in patients after the disease has developed, by which time many changes have already taken place in the body. But stored samples and health information, both before and after a disease begins, gives researches the chance to understand the how an illness is caused, how to treat that illness and how to prevent it. The Edith Sanford Breast Cancer BioBank will only advance our care, hope and cure.
Learn how this announcement will impact the women in your life.

1966 Chevelle Malibu - Family MattersWritten by on December 1, 2011 Tom Farrington is the front man for this corner-hugging, LS-powered Chevelle, but it's his family who gets the car ready for race day
Michael Corleone ran a very tight ship. Fredo would vouch for it, but he's at the bottom of Lake Tahoe. While Tom Farrington isn't quite as ruthless, the man certainly has a way of getting some serious results out of the family business. From afar, all bystanders see is a slick, homebuilt, LS-powered '66 Chevelle on the autocross embarrassing high-profile Pro Touring machines that cost three times as much to build. Nevertheless, there's much more to the story. What's really going on behind the scenes is a carefully executed battle plan in which dad, mom, and the kids all turn wrenches and contribute equally to the cone-slicing cause. Throw in the car's distinctly pleasant blue-collar flavor, and you've got yourself one heck of a Chevelle and an even cooler pit crew to match.
Like most working stiffs, Tom's day job keeps him plenty busy. On top of fighting fires, he serves our country proudly in the Army National Guard. When many hot rodders are letting off some steam in the garage after work, Tom is dodging RPGs in Afghanistan. It's an arduous lifestyle that can seriously stifle forward progress on project cars, so he has come to depend upon a tightly knit support network all within the family. "It's slave labor, plain and simple," he quips. "There aren't a lot of hot rodders near us, so to get anything done we have to work as a family. Whether it's pulling a motor or a trailer, there isn't much that my wife can't do. Until our kids were old enough to wrench, she did all the work. My son and daughter are now old enough to help, and they have hundreds of hours of experience working on the car and fixing things in emergency situations."
Currently scattered around the Farrington yard is a total of 22 Chevelles, most of which have been pirated for parts. Not too long ago, however, the joys of rolling around town in an A-body were merely a distant memory. "When Debbie and I dated in high school, my first car was a '66 Malibu, which was soon replaced by a '67 SS350 Chevelle. Sadly, after high school I thought I would do the mature thing by selling my muscle car and buying something more dependable," Tom says. "We always thought we'd own another Chevelle someday, but the years clicked away. Finally in 2002, while I was with the National Guard in California, we decided that if we were ever going to get back into the hobby our best bet was picking up a car while we were stationed out West. After a weekend of searching, we finally found a very solid '66 Chevelle shell with no interior, motor, or trans along with several boxes of parts. Since we had no way of getting it back home to Indiana, we bought a 16-foot trailer and loaded everything up."
Once back home, the Chevelle was completely disassembled and the restoration process began. The original plan was to build a small-block–powered cruiser, but Tom got greedy and dropped in a 454 instead. Tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan meant that the build would ultimately span eight years, so Tom bought a '64 Chevelle wagon that the family could enjoy in the meantime. As fate would have it, a trip to the Chevellebration event in Nashville changed the direction of the project entirely. "While I was there, the guys at Detroit Speed and Engineering convinced me to run the wagon through the autocross, and I just fell in love with the experience. Back in the '80s, my first Chevelle had big sway bars and torched springs, so I've always enjoyed muscle cars that handle even before it was called Pro Touring," he says. Afterward, Tom and Debbie decided to set the car up for autocross and road racing duty, and the stock suspension just wouldn't cut it. Since time wasn't on their side, the Farringtons opted for stiffer springs and cobbled together the balance of the suspension components. To stick it all to the pavement, the Chevelle got a set of 18-inch Vintage Wheel Works rollers wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber, and to bring things to a halt, Baer 13-inch disc brakes were bolted up at each corner. With lots of help from Debbie and the kids, the Chevelle was finally finished just in time for the Midwest Muscle Car Challenge in 2010.
Although the Chevelle forged through the road course and autocross portions of the MMC just fine, the big-block started knocking during the brake test portion of the competition. The big Rat motor had smoked a rod bearing, and the Farringtons had to hit the road for the Chevellebration event in Tennessee in just nine days. "Despite a three-day National Guard training drill that was thrown in-between, my family and I were able to get the motor pulled, rebuilt, and reinstalled in time to make the show. Just in case, I had Debbie follow behind me with a truck and trailer that was hauling the wagon as a backup car if needed, but the '66 Chevelle made the round-trip drive without any major problems," Tom says. "That was just the beginning of last year's road-trips. Despite getting rear-ended the night before the Motor State Challenge, we ran the car hard during the entire event. Later in the year, we attended the Goodguys PPG Nationals in Ohio, the Run Thru the Hills in Tennessee, and the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational in Las Vegas. One of the biggest challenges was getting the cooling system sorted out, and we went through three different radiators and several electric fans before getting it right."
With the winter months approaching, Tom started scheming up new ways to get some more power out of the old big-block. He contemplated installing a bigger cam and swapping out the heads, but decided on an LS swap instead. "The 454 was a lot of fun, and it ran great the first year, but it was just too heavy. With the big-block, the car understeered so badly on the autocross that I had to jam the brakes to transfer the weight forward and keep it pointed in the right direction," Tom says. After doing the math—which ended up being wrong—Tom figured he could swap in an LS motor for less than the cost of upgrading the big-block.
The Farringtons pulled a 6.2L L92 small-block out of an '08 Escalade, bolted up an LS3 intake for extra hood clearance, then dropped the new motor in. To boost the power, the stock cam was replaced with a Mast Motorsports 224/238-at-.050 hydraulic roller, and a Tremec T56 transmission was bolted behind the all-aluminum mill. Furthermore, the suspension was given an entire revamp with DSE control arms, coilovers, and sway bars in the front and rear. Tom figures the new engine combo is good for roughly 535 hp, but what he enjoys even more than the added grunt is how the much lighter small-block has changed the A-body's handing dynamics. "The LS motor probably took a solid 250 pounds off the front end, and the car now goes exactly where I want it," he says. "If anything, it oversteers a bit. My driving is still the biggest weak link, but we managed to finish 10th out of 65 cars at the Run to Music City event in Nashville this year, and we pulled off the win at the Chevellabration autocross two weeks later."
As is often the case with cool cars like the Farringtons' '66 Chevelle, the story behind it is even more interesting. "Our family has been to 29 states chasing down parts cars, and we have some awesome road-trip memories from our adventures," Tom says. "I wish we could afford to build a $200,000 car, but I'm happy with what we've got and building the car together as a family has been a very rewarding experience. Debbie is busy running her wagon at as many events as possible, my son, Sam, is on fire with his '67 Chevelle project, and my daughter, Kaytlin, has plans to build a '65 El Camino."
So here we have one family with four project cars, one of which has already garnered its share of national spotlight, all built on a workingman's budget. Like we said, Tom knows how to get some serious results out of the family business. That business just happens to be building sweet rides with sweat and willpower rather than through outsourcing and check writing. Unlike the "Don," he doesn't have to resort to a life of crime to get the job done, either.
