As the huge array of Nashville's spring and summer activities, including festivals, sports and even music concerts, fades to a close, we see fall ushered in with a plethora of new and exciting events inside the warm, cozy, architecturally and acoustically magnificent Schermerhorn Symphony Center, also known as my winter home (oh, how I wish!)
I'm not sure when the official autumn concert season begins, but to me, it begins tonight at the Schermerhorn, with West Side Story, a film which, believe it or not, I have somehow neglected to see in my (39+++) considerable years. A movie at the Symphony Center, you ask? I told you that this place has unbelievable diversity. So not only do we get to see an iconic movie classic (playing tonight and tomorrow night) but we get to see it in glorious high definition on the Laura Turner Hall big screen and Giancarlo Guerrero will conduct the Nashville Symphony as they perform the unforgettable West Side Story score live, while we watch this newly re-mastered American film, which bursts with drama, excitement, lots of love and wonderful music, including songs like, "Tonight," "America," "Somewhere" and many more.
Tickets for an unforgettable evening of wine, movie and music can be yours for only $34 to $84, with a Date Night Package available that is sure to impress your honey, which includes:
Two Seats on the Main Floor
Two Glasses of Wine
Two Truffles from Nashville Chocolate & Nut Company
$113 per orchestra level package; $172 per box level package. Price includes all fees. To order, use promo code LOVE online, or contact the Date Night Package Hotline: 615.687.6400. Or visit NashvilleSymphony.org.

Oregon Hall of Fame Coaching Staff
Jack Crabtree
Hall of Fame Inductee
Coach Info:
|Hall of Fame Inductee
|Other Position:
|2002 Inductee, Football (1955-57)
When the Southern California native arrived at Oregon from San Bernardino Junior College in 1955, little did he realize his collegiate career would end in such grand fashion close to home. Sharing the quarterback duties his first two seasons (completing 27 of 52 passes for 318 yards), the 1957 honorable mention all-conference quarterback came close to willing the Ducks to one of the biggest upsets in Rose Bowl history his senior year. Finishing his final regular season completing 55 of 99 passes for 624 yards and five touchdowns, he threw for 135 yards against No. 1-ranked Ohio State before a final incomplete pass allowed the Buckeyes to escape with a 10-7 victory. However, he was so impressive in front of the national audience, he became only the third player in the game's 44 years to be chosen player of the game from the losing team. Chosen in the 12th round of the 1958 NFL draft by Philadelphia, he spent short stints on AFL rosters at Denver and the Los Angeles Chargers in 1960 following two years in the Army. He was elected to the State of Oregon Hall of Fame in 1982 and was inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in 1998.

|I was wondering what your theory was on the length of a goldfish's memory...
I've heard that it is approximately 7 seconds...
How come my fish seem to just swim around on a normal visit but when I have the fish food container (unopened) they get excited?
Surely that would suggest a greater memory capacity.
Thank you! :-)

|I've noticed that too, but only for some of my goldfish. I had a large one that had clearly nutted out my routine and would start gulping at the top of the water as soon as my hand went for the fish food container.
I had another goldfish, that never seemed to work it out.

|Gain your fishes trust. Try putting your finger just above the waters surface above a single flake of food so that the hungry fish slightly touches your finger(you may need to turn off the filter). After a week or so try putting a flake on the end of your finger and hold it so you slightly break the surface. eventually you increase the distance between your finger and the surface. I have seen Paradise Fish jump more than 3 inches out of the water. Gold fish may only get half of thier total length out of the water.

On March 4, from 2–3 p.m. EST, World Education Services (WES) Global Talent Bridge presents a webinar that helps teachers of English for speakers of other languages (ESOL), case managers, refugee resettlement workers, and other service providers advise their immigrant adult students or clients about career options. Registration is required.
Webinar participants will learn what happens to skilled immigrants when re-licensing or pursuing their home-country careers is not the best or desired option. As WES Global Talent Bridge states, "not every doctor can or should try to become a medical doctor again, and not every accountant wants to become a certified public accountant."
Webinar participants will also learn how to research other career pathways for skilled immigrants and get practical examples of alternative career pathways.
WES is located in Lower Manhattan. Global Talent Bridge, a WES initiative, "is dedicated to helping skilled immigrants fully utilize their talents and education in the United States."
For more information about this webinar or other webinars, immigrant resources, credential evaluations, or research and policy, contact WES Global Talent Bridge at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Blogging 101
Most of you probably don't know that I receive a lot of requests to do public speaking presentations about blogging. Why to blog, how to blog, how much time do I spend blogging.... You get the idea. Recently I gave a presentation and created a Power Point slide show to go with it. I also created some worksheets but at the end of the session several of the guests asked if they could view the slide show again online. Soooooooooooo... I took the time to convert the slide show to online tutorials and combined them with the old tutorials I used to have on the Best Wedding Blogs.com website.
This new version is much more extensive and detailed. I hope it might inspire some of you who have been on the fence thinking you'd like to have a blog, whether for business or pleasure, to feel comfortable that you can do it!
Many of the tutorials are based on the Blogger platform simply because it's the platform I use and because of the three most popular platforms it's the easiest to learn how to blog on. Wordpress is the choice of professional bloggers, and one day I may migrate my own blog to Wordpress, but for now I think most people starting out find the prospect so daunting that the easier the learning curve the better.

Nokia C7 starts shipping as the world's second Symbian^3 smartphone (video)
Not long after it launched the N8, Nokia has now announced that the C7 – its second Symbian^3 handset – has also started shipping.
Officially announced less than one month ago, the Nokia C7 can be seen as a cheaper alternative to the N8.
The new smartphone is made out of stainless steel and features a 3.5 inch AMOLED ClearBack display with 360 x 640 pixels, HSPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS, Ovi Maps with free navigation, social networking integration, 3.5mm headset jack, 8MP camera with 720p video recording, 1GB ROM, and 8GB of internal memory.
The Nokia C7 will retail for about €335. Note, however, that this is the price before taxes, so the phone's real price will probably be around €400.
A friendly, serene video promo for the C7 can be watched below:

Valentino's Ghost Showtimes and Tickets
Read Movie Reviews about Valentino's Ghost Write a Movie Review for Valentino's Ghost
Release Date: 2013-05-17 (Limited)
Genre: Documentary,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 33min
Valentino's Ghost exposes the way in which the U.S. Government's foreign policy agenda in the Middle East drives the U.S. media's portrayals of Arabs and Muslims. In 1920s Hollywood, the Arab was a hero, as played by the iconic Rudolph Valentino in his hugely successful "Sheik" movies. By the 1970s, Arabs and Muslims were depicted solely as embodiments of evil, not only in Hollywood films, but in children's cartoons, in the news media, on TV, and even on radio. What happened to the hero image? What social and political and religious forces shifted that image to a socially acceptable negative sterotype? Why do supremely talented artists and intellectuals in America consider it perfectly "realistic" to depict Arabs and Muslims in a fashion that would be described as bigoted, if the same image were applied to blacks, Jews, gays, Native Americans, et al? What about Evangelical Christian bonds with Israel, and "The Israel Lobby" AIPAC? How did we sink into Abu Ghraib? What about the Arab spring and Twitter?

Video Marketing Secrets
By Jon Allo
May 1, 2013
Video marketing adds some spice to your existing marketing campaigns. They transform static, traditional content into action-driven video that project your message in a powerful, dramatic way. Videos give you the unique opportunity to communicate with your target audience in a way that puts you in touch with what is truly important to them, while increasing the value of your products, and even your brand.
You can use video marketing in a number of different ways, including sales pitches, tutorials, launch sequences on your Web site, or to simply develop and increase brand awareness.
The more people see you or hear you, the faster they'll recognize your company on the spot. Video can leave an everlasting impression, providing the perfect interactive vehicle for your marketing message and it can help with your Website's page ranking in Google.
How can Video Marketing benefit your online business?
Firstly, video marketing is great for branding. Based on research, YouTube is the second largest search engine following Google, so it's the perfect place to showcase your brand.
Second, video marketing is good for site rankings. By optimizing and tailoring your video content on your Web site, you can take advantage of blended search (search results – created by many kinds of content, such as, video, images, audio and blogs) helping you get a first-page organic ranking on Google.
Getting Started with Video Marketing
You should start off by developing simple video presentations. As you become more familiar with how your viewers respond to your videos, you can then tailor them towards your target audience. Keep in mind that your videos don't have to be lengthy productions, even 3-minute videos taped with a simple hand-held video camera can do wonders at generating fresh interest and exposure for your product or business.
You can also download auto recycling-specific videos from www.GreenRecycledParts.com that promote recycled parts and adapt them to your company.
The majority of new computers come bundled with video production software, but much is also available for free or at very low cost (see examples below). These programs will help to add functionality to your videos, while making it easy for you to integrate sound (audio narratives, music, etc.), highlight important notes and, of course, they provide you with the added flexibility of editing video content.
Also, many new smart phones and tablets have built-in video technology, so you can shoot and upload to your website in minutes.
Check out Windows Movie Maker (for PC) or iMovie (for Mac) for Your Videos
Once you have a few videos, it's time to distribute them. One of the most effective ways to do this is through the use of video community sites. Video community sites are media hot spots that are filled with new visitors every single day, allowing you to distribute your video to thousands of people for free.
The leader in video community sites is, of course, YouTube.com, with over 800 million unique users each month. However, there are many other places where you can focus on getting your video noticed including: www.vimeo.com and www.video.search.yahoo.com.
Keywords and Tags
It's a great idea to include keywords and tags within your video marketing, so when distributed, it's easy for people to discover your content, based on these primary phrases and keywords associated to your video. Keywords not only help viewers find your video through on-site searches, but more importantly through search engines.
With the new "blended search," search engines expand the content of a search results page beyond text links to many kinds of content, such as maps, video, images, audio, news and blogs. Embedding or linking your tagged video to your Web site, can dramatically increase your page ranking within search engines.
Taking Action
Ultimately, you want to invoke a positive response from your viewers, but you also want them to take action after watching your video. One way of doing this is by including a direct link to your site at the end of the video, highlighting the benefits of visiting your Website or using your products. Keep in mind that you still need to use a direct call to action, even in videos, so don't forget to spend time crafting your message.
Also, if you want your video to go viral, make sure that you add a "Share" link to the end of your video. This share link can be via TwitterFree Web Content, Facebook or Pinterest.

5 Tips for Successful Online Video Marketing
By Arslan Jahanzaib
With the rapid development of technology, online video marketing has been on the rise. Several researches undertaken in video marketing have proved that marketing videos online really works. Online marketing is effective and attractive for many businesses because creating and posting the online videos is fairly cheap and they are also sustainable because they stay online for a long time. The following are easy online video marketing tips that will improve your online marketing strategy.
1. Ensure your title counts - Just like a title of blog post, online videos titles help drive traffic. A great title grabs the attention of the viewers and show up in the search engines when visitors are surfing for your topic.
2. Provide high quality and excellent content - You should take time to critically think about the targeted audience. You need to understand what the targeted market find valuable and what your online video can teach them. Online videos succeed not only because they are of great value to the viewers, but also because they demonstrate your skills and knowledge, thus proving to them that your are an expert. It is also good to note that no matter the quality of your online video, it would not succeed if it is too long. Therefore, keep your online video as short as possible.
3. Put the website URL address in the video - When editing your online video, it is advisable that you make the most use of various editing features. One of the simple features is the additional use of the text box in the video by displaying your Website address which helps your Website gain more exposure and bring more traffic.
4. Make use of video's branding opportunities - You should ensure that the logo of the company you are promoting is featured in some part of the screen for branding purposes. This can be done for the full length or during key times in your online video. By doing this you set yourself apart from other videos and ensure that viewers remember your video plus the product or Website you're promoting much better which will increase sales and traffic.
5. Go beyond just using YouTube - Most of the online video marketers use YouTube to post their videos. However, you can go beyond the use of YouTube by embedding it on your Web site. This will help drive more traffic to your Website and also increase the time that visitors spend on the Website. By doing this, you are likely to grow your audience. It is also good to note that Google's algorithms consider the number of times your online video is watched because the numbers of views received add to the number views tally on the YouTube which will increase your video's popularity. This is also important for being ranked highly in Google search.

It's been two weeks since my soccer tournament (in which we lost horribly) and my feet are still in shit shape. Probably due to the fact that I've had soccer camp since, not giving da feet time to heal. Two of my toenails, one of the big ones included, are bruised beyond repair thanks to some fatty with a pair of cleats that stepped upon me. They are most likely going to fall off which is absolutely gross. It's happened before... why? Because of... SOCCER. Woo. Woooo fucking hooo.
Not to mention I had a massive blister going into the tourny and on top of that grew ANOTHER blister. Shits sake. It hurts to walk. I am damaged goods. I refuse to take off my socks around The Lesbians (who I am seeing again on Sunday, byyy the way).
So anyways my life right now consists of motrin, bandaids, and tv.

Today's choice? These PINK MARS Gladiator Sandals ($68). The crisscrossy straps and the zipper up the back say playtime, but the soft color and the slight heels say "I'm employable, damn it."

Celebrity Spotlight: Solage Knowles and her Hair Evolution
This entry was posted on November 2, 2011.
The beautiful Solange is an American recording artist, actress, model and DJ. You may know her because she's a sister to Beyonce, but she's paving her own way to success after the break up of the well known group Destiny's Child. She has released two studios albums: Solo Star in 2003 and Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams in 2008. Sol-Angel peaked at number nine in the US Billboard 200 chart.
Solage didn't stop at singing, which she started pursuing professionally at the age of 16. Aside from recording, Knowles has now ventured into film, modeling, and entrepreneurship. She recently co-launched the junior apparel collection Deréon.
Throughout the years Solage has pulled off some gorgeous hair styles, from curls, waves, to straight hair. We have to wonder how she pulls it off and secretly think she has hair extensions from time to time.
What do you think?
Here's our guess in regards to what hair extensions she uses while she's about town and promoting her fabulous singing career and fashion lines.
This is besides the point, but did you know that Solage also helps with non-profit organizations? Not only does this singer and actress have beautiful locks, she has a lovely heart too! :)
But back to her hair style...For this hair style Solage could have incorporated a curly virgin Indian hair weave for this fabulous look. She looks amazing with her flowy black top and curls. The ruffles on the sleeves are a perfect addition to her glowing face and curly hair!
Curly extensions are very romantic and even fun. Wear curls while heading to a film debut or on the walk way like Solage. Even if you are just relaxing on the weekend curls are easy to form after getting out of the shower because you let them dry naturally and use minimal hair product!
If you need a switch up during the winter time now is the perfect time to wear a curly hair weave that complements your complexion and beautiful ensembles that you're excited to wear.
We have to admit that straight hair is equally as fun. Solage pulls off another stunning hair style with large bangle earrings and a slouchy tee in the picture to the left. So we have to pose the question again: hair extensions?
We think she definitely has extra length to her hair so she most likely invested in a straight virgin Indian hair weave that is at least 18" in length. The added length to her hair looks amazing and paired with her ensemble she manages to transform a casual look into a sleek and sultry outfit. We're dying to know what shoes and pants she is wearing to see how it goes with her entire look!
Whatever she wears Solage manages to shine with a beautiful smile and great outlook on life. She does a great job at styling her hair (whether it's styled by a professional or not) and her locks shine from every angle. She most definitely takes the time to care for her hair and it certainly shows.
We like Solage and think she's just as great as Beyonce. Who needs to be compared to their sister anyway?!

"A glorious good-time musical for all good people everywhere!" That's what the Black Theatre Troupe calls "Purlie," the musical that runs Friday, May 2, through Sunday, May 18, at the Helen K. Mason Performing Arts Center, 1333 E. Washington St. in downtown Phoenix. It has also been called Broadway's first gospel musical.
With book by Ossie Davis, Phillip Rose and Peter Udell, "Purlie" is based on the groundbreaking play "Purlie Victorious" by Ossie Davis and was the winner of two Tony Awards, a Drama Desk Award and a Theatre World Award. The play's musical arrangements are by Gary Geld, and lyrics are by Peter Udell. The Black Theatre Troupe production will be directed and choreographed by Laurie Trygg.
The story centers around Purlie Victorious, who left his home and family in his youth. When he returns to Georgia to collect his inheritance, he encounters nothing but obstacles. While he does everything he can to get what's rightfully his, love blooms and faith swoons.
In operation since 1970, Black Theatre Troupe seeks to provide an important cultural bridge between races and ethnicities through its productions. It makes use of national, regional and local talent to entertain, enlighten and educate a diverse, multicultural audience and to provide exposure to black cultural and ideology.

Article 7/43.
Audiology is a branch of science which deals with the study of hearing, balance and related disorders through tests and treatment through hearing aids.
The use of the terms "Audiology" and "Audiologist" in publications has been traced back only as far as 1946. The first US university course for audiologists was offered by Carhart at Northwestern University, in 1946 Audiology was born of hearing aid dispensers to address the hearing damage from World War II veterans.
The Audiology and Speech Pathology in India was started as a profession by a group of enthusiastic professionals like Dr. N Rathna, Dr. S Nikam, Mr. Ramesh Oza and Dr. Vijay Shah. The first Audiology & Speech Language Therapy program was started in 1966 at T.N.Medical College and BYL Nair Ch. Hospital in Mumbai. In the same year, the Government of India established All India Institute of Speech and Hearing which became the country's leading Institute in the field of communication disorders.
An audiologist is a healthcare professional specializing in identifying, diagnosing, treating and monitoring disorders of the auditory and vestibular system portions of the ear. Audiologists are trained to diagnose, manage and/or treat hearing or balance problems. After conducting various tests, they dispense hearing aids and recommend and map cochlear implants. They counsel families through a new diagnosis of hearing loss in infants, and help teach coping and compensation skills to late-deafened adults. They also help design and implement personal and industrial hearing safety programs, newborn hearing screening programs, school hearing screening programs, and provide special fitting ear plugs and other hearing protection devices to help prevent hearing loss. In addition, many audiologists work as auditory scientists in a research capacity. Audiologists have training in anatomy and physiology, hearing aids, cochlear implants, electrophysiology, acoustics, neurology, counseling and sign language.
Various Hearing Tests
* Audiogram: is a hearing test that is generally performed in a soundproof room using sophisticated, calibrated equipment. A trained professional, most commonly a certified audiologist, usually administers the test. Earphones are placed over the person's ears, and tones are presented to each ear, one at a time. The softest level at which the sounds can be heard is recorded.
*Tympanometry: is a common test that involves placing a gentle pressure probe in the ear. This test assesses the pressure in the middle ear, and it may help detect fluid, problems with the middle ear bones, and other conditions.
*Site Of Lesion Testing: Site of lesion testing involves the regular equipment used in an audiogram, with a variety of other tests to help determine where a problem lies. This kind of testing may involve:
• Comparing the hearing in one ear with the other
• Detecting small changes in signal intensity
• Testing ability to hear in the presence of noise
• Testing the ability to hear sentences placed in both ears at the same time
*BERA:Brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA or ABR) involves sophisticated, computerized equipment. Sounds are placed in the ear, and the brainstem's response is recorded from electrodes (similar to electrocardiogram electrodes) that are taped to the patient's head. This testing is extremely helpful in:
• Distinguishing sensory (inner ear) from neural (nerve) causes of hearing loss
• Helping to localize problems in the brainstem auditory pathway
• Determining the ability to hear soft sounds, in selected cases
*Other Types Of Testing: A person experiencing ear noise (a condition called tinnitus) can be tested in several ways. Sometimes it is possible to measure the frequency and intensity of the tinnitus There are also tests that help determine whether it can be suppressed or masked.Since the inner ear is divided into hearing and balance sections that are related, balance system testing is often appropriate for people with sensorineural hearing loss . Such testing may be useful even in people who do not have obvious balance problems.
The most common balance tests are:
• Electronystagmography (ENG). ENG involves measuring eye movements and stimulating the body's vestibular system, which controls balance
• Computerized dynamic posturography (CDP). CDP tests overall balance function using a computerized testing platform. It provides invaluable information that is especially useful in combination with an ENG.
Tests Not Directly Related To HearingBecause of the complexity of the hearing system and the many things that may affect it, an evaluation of other parts of the body is often helpful. This usually involves blood tests and imaging studies. Imaging studies may include:
• A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to look at the inner ear nerves and brain
• A computed tomography (CT) scan to look at the bones of the ear
• Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), or occasionally angiography, which produces images of the blood vessels to the brain
• A SPECT or PET scan, which produces images of microscopic blood flow within the brain.
Career Prospects
Speech and Hearing professionals like audiologists can find jobs with teaching and health care establishments. Several NGOs also offer good employments to these professionals. Audiologists conduct clinical activities with patients, are involved in speech & hearing research, dispense hearing aids and assistive listening devices and teach at schools and universities.
Audiologists work closely with government agencies, practicing physicians and hearing aid manufacturers. Subsequently an audiologist can also develop his / her own venture of health care or teaching institution or an NGO.

I am always confused about how to understand the line bundle $\mathcal{O}_{X}(k)$ on a projective scheme $X=\mathrm{Proj}(\oplus_{n=0}^\infty A_{n})$. Of course this is by definition the $\mathcal{O}$-module associated to $\oplus_{n=0}^\infty A_{n}(k)$. But I think this definition is not really geometric. My questions are following;
- How should I understand $\mathcal{O}_{X}(k)$ intuitively? Maybe for $k\ge0$ this is relatively easy as global sections are given by the graded piece $A_{k}$, but I still don't know any geometric picture of this.
- Let $X=\mathbb{P}^n$, then is it easy to tell why the universal bundle is given by $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(-1)$ (without computing the transition function)?
I would appreciate it if you could provide me with your favorite ways to see these line bundles.

Make sure your pet
By Jenny
C. McCune Bankrate.com
A pet can be a wonderful and welcomed family
addition. But if you're not careful, it also could be a costly mistake.
Sure, the cuddly quotient is important in choosing
a dog or cat, but it shouldn't dominate your decision. Picking a
pet is a serious and tricky business that could have financial as
well as emotional costs for many years to come.
Here are some considerations that will ensure you
and your new best furry friend truly belong together.
Look at your lifestyle
You loved the Great Dane you had growing up on the farm and you
want your kids to have that same joyful experience. But you now
live in midtown Manhattan. Even if your landlord will let you bring
home a big dog, he might require a hefty deposit. And be honest:
Will the animal really be happy in that cramped walk-up while you're
at work?
You say you own your home on a big lot, so pooch size
is not a problem. Are you sure? If you live in a community governed
by a homeowner
association, your neighbors might have a say in picking your
pet. Some set pet weight limits or have rules about outdoor housing
for the animal. Be sure to check those HOA bylaws.
It's not just space you have to consider. A Siberian
Husky might not be as happy in Florida, Arizona or South Texas as
he would be living in Minnesota. What if the pooch you prefer is
a rather vocal breed? Can you (and, once again, your neighbors)
deal with a noisy dog?
Then there's age: yours, your children's and the animal's.
Are you equipped to handle the needs of a rambunctious puppy? Your
youngsters might be able to match the young dog's energy level,
but make sure they're not too young to safely play with an exuberant
animal, especially if it's a larger breed.
The basics of breed
Do you want a purebred or is a mutt OK? If you want a specific breed,
do the research to make sure the desired breed is really a good
fit, both with your lifestyle and your budget. This generally is
more of an issue when it comes to dogs, but cat breeds have different
temperaments and prices, too.
You can find a wealth of pet data on the Internet.
The American
Kennel Club's Web site has descriptions of registered purebreds,
as well as links to breed-specific associations and clubs. Many
groups have e-mail lists where you can exchange information about
your preferred dog.
Here are some questions the AKC recommends you ask
before deciding on a breed or a particular puppy:
A couple of other AKC-suggested considerations also
could directly affect your pocketbook.
The first is the breed's grooming requirements. Can
you take care of the occasional trim yourself, or will your pet's
coat require regular, and possibly costly, trips to a canine cosmetologist?
Even if you don't need professional grooming services, any special
shampoos, combs and other treatments that you'll have to buy to
properly take care of your new dog could be costly -- for years
to come.
A more important and potentially expensive question
is whether the particular dog or breed has any health problems.
Veterinarian bills can add up just as quickly as those from your
family doctor, and pet owners generally are willing to pay -- sometimes
a lot -- to keep the furriest family member healthy. If you haven't
purchased a pet
medical insurance policy, then your dog's doctor bills will
come out of your pocket.
These considerations aren't restricted to canines.
Ailurophiles can check out the Cat Fanciers' Association's online
database for breed specifics and general feline information.
Breed-specific groups also abound for cat lovers. Just type your
breed of choice into an Internet search engine and watch the pages
appear on your PC screen.

Mrs Dalloway
by Virginia Woolf
Mrs Dalloway Section 5 Summary
- Arriving home, Richard finds that Clarissa is upset that her frumpy, dull cousin Ellie Henderson is coming to her party. It's enough that Elizabeth is spending time with that awful Miss Kilman; what more could go wrong?
- Richard enters holding flowers. He can't bring himself to say "I love you," but she understands what he's thinking.
- They talk about Miss Kilman, Peter Walsh, the party, and writing the letter for Lady Bruton. He wonders why she gives these parties when they stress her out so much.
- He leaves again to go to a meeting about Armenians or Albanians. It's always something.
- Clarissa cherishes the independence that she and Richard have in their marriage. But he looks after her, making sure she rests after lunch. She feels a twinge of guilt for caring more about roses than Armenians. (We all have those moments, don't we?)
- As she lies down, Clarissa tries to figure out why she feels so disturbed. She didn't like how Peter and Richard criticized her parties. They're an offering: her form of creation, a gift.
- While Clarissa is resting, Elizabeth comes into the room very quietly, while Miss Kilman waits outside the door in her unsightly mackintosh (that's a raincoat). As you might remember, Mrs Dalloway doesn't think very highly of her: she's poor and over forty, she resents the rich, and she looks down on Clarissa's background and limited education. She is entitled and bitter, pious and judgmental.
- Clarissa feels that Miss Kilman is stealing Elizabeth away from her.
- Elizabeth leaves with Miss Kilman to have tea. Clarissa considers love and religion detestable. (This thought makes some sense in the context: remember that Miss Kilman brings Elizabeth to Catholic meetings.) She becomes repulsed by the idea of Miss Kilman's body and her efforts to convert people to Christianity.
- Climbing the stairs, Clarissa looks out the window at the house across the way. She often watches a woman who leaves there; she finds the woman peaceful compared to the thought of Peter Walsh's oppressive love. Interesting comparison.
- Now we're in Miss Kilman's thoughts. (You still with us?) Miss Kilman is concerned with controlling the flesh. She thinks that Clarissa mocks her ugliness. She despises Clarissa's shallowness and vanity. Her own desires are simple: tea, a hot water bottle, some clothing, and comfort.
- Miss Kilman knows she has an unlovable body, but does she have to suffer for that? Why should she suffer while Clarissa has all of the comforts she needs?
- Elizabeth and Miss Kilman enter the Army and Navy Stores. They shop a bit and then have some tea and cakes. Miss Kilman eats greedily while eying a pink cake being eaten by a child.
- She lectures Elizabeth about the war: not everyone thought the English were right, not everyone was full of patriotic emotion. Elizabeth should come to one of her meetings and hear the different opinions.
- Miss Kilman makes people feel bad for having things, for not suffering like she does.
- Elizabeth is eager to leave (she's not interested in this woman), but Miss Kilman asks if she'll go to her mother's party that evening.
- As she shoves an éclair into her mouth, Miss Kilman announces that she doesn't get invited to parties, but she actually doesn't pity herself for that (though she clearly does).
- She almost blurts out that she pities Elizabeth's mother, but knows that such a remark is going too far. Elizabeth hastily gets out of there, and immediately, Miss Kilman feels her absence deeply and profoundly. She decides to go pray at Westminster Abbey.
- Elizabeth boards an omnibus, which moves through neighborhoods that are unfamiliar to her.
- She's relieved to be free of Miss Kilman: too much talk of suffering. Elizabeth pays another penny to go up the Strand (a street in London). Seeing all of the working people makes Elizabeth want to have a profession, to be a doctor or a member of Parliament or something.
- She feels very daring being at the Strand: it's not the kind of thing a Dalloway does. She realizes that it's gotten kind of late, and her mother will be worried. It's time to go home.
- Now we're back with Septimus again. He's lying on a couch in his home, watching the light dance on the walls and the trees move outside the window. He recalls a line from Shakespeare, "Fear no more," which he repeats to himself.
- Rezia sits nearby making a hat. Her husband's behavior is really disturbing to her. The desk drawer is full of his crazy ideas about war and death and Shakespeare, and he claims to know everything.
- Now he sees Evans in the room, singing.
- Once, the cleaning lady read his notes and laughed mockingly.
- To Septimus, Dr Holmes represents everything that's wrong with human nature.
- Septimus lies on the couch, fearing (aloud) that he will fall into flames. His fears seem so real that Rezia looks around for actual flames.
- Rezia continues to make a hat for the landlord's daughter, Mrs Peters.
- Septimus squeezes his eyes shut. "He would not go mad" (5.105). He looks around, hoping that he doesn't have any hallucinations now that his eyes are open. All is okay, for now.
- He's afraid that Rezia's face will look deformed, so he peers at her face from behind his hand.
- Rezia and Septimus share a laugh about Mrs Peters – about how ridiculous she would look in the hat, like a pig at a fair. For the moment, everything feels normal. To Rezia's great relief, Septimus seems like his old self right then.
- A knock at the door startles Rezia. (Is it Sir William Bradshaw coming to take Septimus away?) But it's just a young girl bringing the newspaper, as she does every evening. Septimus starts to fall asleep.
- Once again, Septimus begins to hear the "voices of the dead" (5.129). He cries out for Evans.
- It's getting late and Bradshaw will be there soon. This doctor believes that it's not healthy for the unwell to be around people who are fond of them.
- Septimus feels a deep loathing for Holmes and Bradshaw, believing they're after him. He asks Rezia to bring him his papers, with pictures of people with wings, diagrams, faces in waves, notes on beauty, death, Time, Universal love, and Shakespeare.
- He looks at Rezia. She's a flowering tree. She is a miracle. But he fears the judges (Bradshaw and Holmes).
- They hear noises downstairs. Rezia runs to prevent Holmes from coming up right away. She needs time to prepare herself and Septimus.
- Holmes pushes his way past Rezia. Desperately, Septimus looks around for some way to kill himself right there and then. A bread knife? Razors? The gas fire? He doesn't actually want to die, but he can't be given over to the doctors. He just can't.
- And just like that, Septimus throws himself out the window, shouting, "I'll give it to you!" (5.152) In the blink of an eye, he is impaled on the railings outside.
- Just then, Dr Holmes walks in and calls Septimus a coward. The landlady, Mrs Filmer, arrives and tells Rezia that her husband's body is horribly mangled.
- Rezia is worried that they'll bring the body in the room and she takes a sedative given to her by Dr Holmes; she falls asleep.

WIL supports women working across practice, industry and public sector who are aiming for senior management, partner or board roles. The programme has a strong personal development focus, and seeks to refine and craft the participant's individual leadership style.

Building on the ICAEW's credentials in gender diversity and leadership development, this six-month programme supports the careers of women in finance and business across all industry sectors who are one to three career stages away from a senior leadership or board role.
Working to the theme of personal development as a key tenet of strong leadership, it focuses on inspiring others and developing participants' strengths considering the impact of these on their teams from a leadership perspective. WIL develops participants' awareness of organisational cultural environments and how to best operate and lead within them, with the focus on the sharing of external perspectives being one of the differentiators of this programme.
The programme is aimed at two audiences:
Participant numbers are limited to 18 per cohort in order to optimise networking and learning opportunities.
Against the backdrop of the 2011/12 Davies Report recommendations promoting the advancement of women into senior roles, the need for this type of development has never been greater.
WIL supports an organisation's inclusive leadership and succession planning goals and will:
WIL helps participants:
The next programme starts on 4 May 2016.
The cost of this 6-month programme is:
Delegates who are self-funding have the option to pay in instalments.
WIL has a strong personal development focus evolving participants unique leadership style through a blend of workshops, peer learning groups and 1:1 mentor sessions. The course is structured to build momentum over the six months, building upon and connecting each of the activities, culminating in an action planning workshop.
A workshop designed to help you understand leadership talents, learn about your strengths and craft your personal leadership hallmark.
Practically focused skills workshops, led by expert facilitators.
Delegates work together in groups of six to share ideas and discuss issues.
1:1 mentoring sessions in which participants receive practical, personalised and confidential guidance and support and access to exclusive mentor's networks.
Optional informal social events take place so as to help delegates make new contacts and build relationships with delegates, tutors, and ICAEW staff (Please note: Additional cost may occur when registering for these events and attendance is subject to demand).
An action planning session to consolidate your learning and plan your next steps.
Read about how WIL participants have progressed, the benefits of gaining access to external perspectives and processes - as well as working with leading development experts and mentors.
I have found the WIL programme very valuable and inspiring. Right from the start I have been able to see the results both in my performance at work and personally, in terms of my career aspirations and goals in life. Each session has left me feeling more energized and motivated about my leadership opportunities and life in general.
The opening dinner was a great opportunity to meet my peers and all the course tutors and mentors. This was closely followed by a challenging and inspiring strengths workshop. Working in small groups, I was able to get to the crux of some challenging issues and gain a real understanding of my innate strengths and how this translated into my leadership style. The approach and tone that was set right from the beginning has enabled me to give the level of personal disclosure necessary to really benefit from the input of others. The external perspectives of others are a key part of the value of this course.
I feel that the combined experience of the tutors and mentors in business, finance and sport and the fact that they have experience of what they ask us to do, have been powerful and a real differentiator of this programme. They really understand the environments and cultures we are grappling with.
Working as a Director at the global turnaround and performance improvement firm, AlixPartners, I am acutely aware of the benefits of inspiring leadership and the impact on the success of the business and so naturally, my firm is very supportive of my participation in the ICAEW's Women in Leadership programme.
Being able to workshop leadership issues with some of the country's top development experts is a huge boost to me in my future career. I'm equally excited about the opportunity to expand my professional network through a group of like-minded peers, with the added benefit of having access to a carefully selected mentor.
My attendance on the first Women in Leadership programme came at a time when I felt I was at a crossroads with my career, because I was unsure how to try and progress to the next level, whilst continuing to balance my family commitments.
The programme has introduced to me to a fantastic group of women, many of whom are struggling with similar issues to me. It has made me realise that I am not alone and the support that I have received from the other members of the group, as well as from my mentor and the programme facilitators, has been amazing.
It has given me the courage to initiate debate at a senior level on ways to improve gender diversity within ABF. It has also been very refreshing to be on a development course that focuses on identifying my strengths and how I can use them to develop my own authentic leadership style, rather than focussing on the things I need to change or improve. The programme has included a lot of practical advice on how I can progress my career, with the emphasis being on staying true to oneself as a woman, but understanding how to do that within a predominantly male environment.
I would highly recommend this programme to any senior female who is facing the challenge of breaking through to director level. This programme will give the courage to realise that it can be done.

Last week I shared a tutorial for a patchwork drawstring backpack that I made for my daughter. Now that my son is a little older and doesn't need quite as much "gear" when we go places, I decided to make a slightly larger backpack for him. The idea was that it would hold his things for the church nursery but would also serve as a diaper bag for both children when we're out and about.
I took the design I made for my daughter's bag and modified it slightly for this one, and it's just enough different that I thought I would share it with you as well. As I said before, please let me know if you need clarification on anything. I'm always happy to find ways to improve my tutorials. We've been using this bag a lot, stuffing quite a few things in it despite its size, and so far I have no complaints.
Simple Drawstring Backpack with Applique
You'll need:
Outer fabric: Two pieces 10.5″ x 11″.
Lining fabric: Two pieces 10.5″ x 14.25″ plus whatever you need for your applique.
Double sided fusible web (whatever amount you need for your applique).
Matching thread.
Two lengths of at least 50″ of coordinating or matching rope or cording for the drawstrings. I'd recommend starting with more and determining an exact measurement when you're finishing the project. More on this later.
Grommets/eyelets large enough to fit two thicknesses of your chosen drawstring material.
Cutting tools.
Ruler or tape measure.
Sewing machine.
Grommet/eyelet setting tools.
Step 1: Cut your fabric pieces to size.
Step 2: On your fusible web, draw whatever shape you want to applique onto the backpack. I used varying sizes of jar lids to trace circles.
Attach the web to your applique fabric per the manufacturer's instructions and cut out your shapes. Then lay out and attach your applique shapes to the piece of fabric that will be the front of your bag.
Step 3: Using whatever stitch you prefer, sew your applique pieces to your bag. I chose to use the zigzag stitch to help prevent fraying because I didn't fold under the edges and because it's a little more decorative.
Step 4: Place your front and back outer fabric pieces right-sides-together and sew both long sides and one short side with 1/4″ seam allowance.
Step 5: Clip your corners and turn right-side-out. "Finish" your seams with a zigzag or other method if you wish.
Step 6: Take one of your lining pieces and measure 1 1/2″ down from the top of the piece; make a mark along one of the sides at this point. Then measure 1″ below the first mark and make a second mark. (You may need to adjust this measurement based on how thick your drawstrings are.) Do the same on the other side. These mark the openings for your drawstring, so when you sew, you're going to want to stop and restart your seams at these marks.
Place your inner lining pieces with right sides together, and sew both long sides and one short side with a 1/4″ seam allowance, leaving a small opening (about 3″) on the short side to allow for turning. And don't forget to leave the 1″ opening that starts 1 1/2″ from the top on each side!
Step 7: Press the side seams so the fabric will fold in at the drawstring openings when the bag is right-side-out. If you want to zigzag or otherwise "finish" your seams, do it now, but remember that the edges of the openings need to stay open and folded in, so you won't want to zigzag them together.
Clip the corners. Leave the lining inside-out.
Step 8: Place the outer fabric (right-side-out) inside the lining (still inside-out) so that right sides are facing each other. Sew the pieces together all around the top with 1/4″ seam allowance. Note that the lining piece is longer than the outer piece right now. I promise this will make sense in a minute.
(By the way, you might have noticed in the last tutorial that I had you turn the outer fabric inside-out and the lining right-side-out, opposite of what we've done here. It doesn't really matter which way you do it as long as you're sure you've got the right sides facing each other. I just do it however works best for me on each project.)
Step 9: Using the opening you left in the lining, turn the bag right-side-out and push the lining back down into the bag. When the bottom of the lining meets the bottom of the bag, you should find that the lining fabric sticks out of the top of the bag and folds at the top, creating a 1 3/4″ border on the outside of the bag. The drawstring openings should be pretty much folded in half, opening toward the top of the bag. Press all around the top to make a nice crease in the lining/border.
Step 10: Top stitch around the top of the bag close to the edge, but do not go across the drawstring openings—you want your drawstrings to be able to move unimpeded!
Then top stitch again about 1/2″ down from the top of the bag, or wherever the bottom of your drawstring openings fall. This measurement may need to differ based on the thickness of your drawstrings. (This creates your casing for the drawstring.)
Step 11: Using a needle and thread, close the opening you left in the lining using a blind stitch.
Step 12: Add grommets to the bottom corners of the bag. (Follow the instructions that came with your grommet setting tools.)
Step 13: Now's the time to get your drawstring ready. You need at least enough of each piece to go from the bottom to the top of the bag, the whole way around the casing, and back down to the bottom of the bag. For this particular bag I ended up with lengths of about 50″, and when the bag is open, the straps are only as long as the side of the bag, but they get longer when the drawstring is pulled. I'd recommend starting with a longer piece than you need so you can adjust it if the person who will be wearing the bag needs a longer strap.
Attach your drawstring material to a safety pin and thread it into the casing through one of the openings. Being sure to leave a tail, take the drawstring the whole way around the top of the bag (straight across the other opening) and out the same side you started it in. With your second drawstring, thread it into the opening on the other side, go the whole way around, and out the same side you started it in. Each drawstring will now have both loose ends coming out of the same opening in the casing.
Take both ends of each drawstring and thread them through the appropriate grommet, tying them together in a knot once they're through the grommet. (You may need to finish off the drawstrings with tape or by "melting" them just a moment with a match—carefully!) When you pull on the "straps" of the backpack, the opening of the bag should draw closed easily.
And that's it. You're done! Pat yourself on the back! These really are fun to make, and quick too. Give it a try!

Just thought of something I haven't seen discussed anywhere before.
I have heard of a few incidents recently where the 911 op was giving the person on the phone bad advice. Most are pretty well trained but lets face it, you cant train for every eventuality. Having to get your information from some voice in a headset, isnt the fastest or surest way to judge a hostile situation either.
Here is the scenario. You are CCW, and the proverbial fecal matter impacts the self oscilating air relocating device. You dial 911, give a quick overview to the 911 operator. The operator advises, (or commands) you to do one thing, and you do what you think is right anyway. (After all you much better prepared than the average person in the same situation, not to mention you are on site, and can better understand the situation as it unfolds, and your life is the one on the line not Mr or Mrs 911 operators .)
Ok here is the question, even if things turn out well, how does this affect you legally, and with regards to civil liability?

Categories: Reviews: Equipment : Accessories : Camera Tripods
This is a fantastic tripod. Lightweight, compact and very sturdy, this little work of art will serve any backpacker or travelling photographer. Small enough to fit into your luggage, the Mountaineer still exhibits great durability and rock-solid sturdiness. The only thing I don't like is that it uses twist locks on the telescoping legs; while these make for a more compact tripod, I prefer the snap locks such as those on a Bogen tripod; I can set up and take down a bit more quickly with this style.

DisappointingI own an old hair dryer with the type of diffuser in which the fingers protrude beyond the encasement. My old diffuser really lifts my hair and gives it lots of body and volume.
I bought the Super Solano hair dryer, and my old diffuser didn't fit on the narrow "nose" of the dryer so I had to get this diffuser. It doesn't lift my hair at the roots because the fingers are short and my hair is squashed by the attachment.
I'm currently trying to find a diffuser with long fingers that will fit on the Solano. I'm unhappy with this diffuser.
