[...] The entire Festival was brimming with excitement from start to finish and the organization and opportunities were all superb. I understand how much incredible work went into the organization so that everything ran like clockwork without a hitch. Every single person who greeted us or looked after us was so polite, helpful, kind and happy. [...]
And the opportunities were out of this world! – playing in the hallowed Golden Hall of the Musikverein, the Wiener Konzerthaus, the MuTh and at the beautiful town of Ybbs where we were treated like kings (as we were throughout the Festival) and had the privilege of playing for the little children from Chernobyl. It was so moving to see their reaction with our students after the concert and especially as our leader is Ukrainian and could chat with them in their own language.
The workshops were amazing – imagine working with a guru of Viennese waltzes in Vienna! (Christoph Ehrenfellner) and such an experienced musician as John Stanley. The feedback of our performances was so kind and generous, the opportunity to hear so many other magnificent orchestras and choirs was wonderful, the sightseeing was eye opening and mind blowing, the accommodation first rate and the food absolutely delicious! [...]
Hearty congratulations and enormous thanks to every single person involved in the Festival – how could anything be organized in such a magnificent way?! We will certainly be immediately starting to save our money for a return visit!

Wir haben selten eine so perfekt organisierte und so liebevoll vorbereitete Veranstaltung erlebt! Die kleinen Details, die es uns ermöglichten, uns einfach voll und ganz auf die Musik und das Zusammentreffen mit den anderen Orchestern einzulassen, weil wir uns ganz und gar umsorgt fühlten. [...] Auch Ihre Mitarbeiter bei allen Veranstaltungsorten waren kompetent und liebevoll, und haben sich immer bemüht uns jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen. [...]
Besonders erwähnenswert ist auch, dass vorgegebene Zeitabläufe eingehalten wurden. Bei dem Umfang und der Größe so eines Events eine wahre Meisterleistung! Die Veranstaltungen des Festivals waren sehr auf die Bedürfnisse der Jugendlichen zugeschnitten. [...]
Eine furiose Idee waren auch die Konzerte im Wiener Umland- oder noch weiter! So konnten wir auch Menschen erreichen, die nicht die Möglichkeit hatten nach Wien zu kommen. [...]
Die Workshops an der Wiener Musikhochschule waren ein ganz besonderes Highlight für uns [...] Dass wir als Preisträger im Konzerthaus spielen durften, wird für uns alle immer ein hoch emotionales, unvergessliches Erlebnis bleiben! Die rauschende Party danach im Wiener Rathaus konnten wir so richtig genießen, und da war auch Gelegenheit mit den Ensembles Kontakt aufzunehmen, die nicht bei uns im Hotel gewohnt haben. Viele Fotos wurden gemacht, Visitenkarten und Adressen getauscht, man fühlte sich wie in einer großen Familie, die sich zu besonderen Anlässen trifft. [...] Das ist immer auch der Zeitpunkt Kritik anzubringen, aber ich suche und suche... und finde nichts!

For our choir - Zoltán Kodály Children's Choir of Marosszék - it was a special unique experience in our life which we will never forget! Thank you for the possibility that we could take part on this wonderful festival through your - and your sponsors' - generosity. Through this whole experience - during the period of preparation together with the days we could spend in Wienna - our choir took a big step toward artistic level and community building. We are especially happy and grateful that with the motivation of your wonderful festival beautiful choir sounding was born and some beatiful pieces of choral literature started to exist.
What we enjoyed in SCL Festival - beside the wonderful places where we had the chance to sing, to celebrate, to eat - the very human organization. First we enjoyed the accurate organization - and at the same time your freedom, opennes, your rediness for any changes. This told us about your very human attitude. Than we found valuable for your efforts to create a good feeling for all the participants, not only on the area of circumstances on every places but also connected with the competition. We found that all the children and young musicians went home with the best feelings after the Rathaus-party and the results did not build a wall between essemles, peoples, everybody could experience their own value - and this fits to art-competition.
We learned from your great patience which we could see through the whole prepration period and the whole festival events, we always got an answer to our questions and the answer was always kind and empathic and full of patience.

It was my first time participating in it and my choir and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. For me, it had been the best festival I have ever attended. It was highly professional and the pacing was just right. Another kudos to your organisation was the fact that even though we were a children's choir, we were treated with equal dignity and respect.

We thank you and your team for the great effort and the support for the campaign LICHT INS DUNKEL.
According to the motto: "Everyone Euro counts" we welcome any donation, regardless of its amount. But above all we are very happy that time and again people as motivated as yourselves reach out to us, and work with dedication for the good cause.

Dear Festival organizers,
I wanted to thank all of you and all the other people who helped you, for the special experience in Vienna.
The orchestra's players enjoyed very much the atmosphere, from the big halls, and were inspired by the other delegations from around the world. We know it wasn't an easy task to arrange this "Musical Olympics" and so we admire you for being so successful in that. We were honored to take part in the festival, and hope to come back again with our choir.
All the best

This past summer I had the privilege of being there when The Georgian Bay Children's Choir competed and experienced the Summa Cum Laude Music Festival in Vienna. As can be imagined the experience was indescribable in many ways, but I remember one moment above all others. Our group had the opportunity to go to Kapuvar, Hungary.
We performed with 2 other choirs for a local community in an old church. When our choir sang that day the outcome was incredible. After each piece the crowd applauded with such zeal, the effect were blatantly visible on our small younger group.
They received standing ovations, and loud boisterous cheering that young people so often express. As a parent, I was brought to tears at seeing such an obvious transformation. An experience that could never have been contrived or duplicated. I know that the effects of that day moved each of our kids in a way that will last a lifetime, ….

The concert yesterday was amazing! We were able to see the festival winners and it was really great! The atmosphere was splendid and also the artistic features. Your festival is really high-level, the organization and also the artistic part. You had it good prepared, mainly the concerts also the Opening Celebration in St. Stephan's Cathedral. The interaction word and music was just excellent. There was no stagnation point. Also the final concert in Musikverein had good increasing gradient!

Es war insgesamt ein sehr beeindruckendes und nachhaltiges Erlebnis - das Spielen im goldenen Saal, die Kontakte und der Austausch mit anderen Gruppen, das Hinzufiebern auf das Wertungsspiel, die schönen Örtlichkeiten, die weiteren Konzerte usw. usw. Die Organisation war sehr gut und professionell, dabei stets souverän und freundlich. Wir haben uns immer sehr gut betreut gefühlt, alles lief hervorragend. Dass wir so gut abgeschnitten haben, war für uns dann natürlich die absolute Krönung! Wir sind Ihnen und dem gesamten Organisationsteam sehr dankbar und wünschen, dass das Festival weiter blüht und gedeiht. Hoffentlich haben wir in Zukunft mal wieder die Gelegenheit, nach Wien zu kommen!

Congratulations to a wonderful and successful SCL 2010! I am so happy I finally got to see, feel, experience and taste the true spirit and atmosphere of the SCL Festival… Both the workshops and the Gala Winners Concert were wonderful. The reception in City Hall was lovely too! The flawless execution and complete organization is impressive to say the least. Again, my sincere congratulations on a job so well done!

Die musikalische Qualität, die Farbenpracht und die vielen fröhlichen Gesichter - wir sind so richtig aus dem Alltag gekippt.
Waltraud Wolf
Director of the Vienna Tourist Board
Excerpts of the TIYO Blog (The kid's eye view):
Being in Austria has been so much fun so far. I had lifetime experience musically playing in the Golden Hall and learning from world famous musicians, but the overall atmosphere has been the best part! The plazas, the massive market for classical music, and the obsessive people watching is a lot of fun. The small villages and the big city are equally interesting, and I can't wait to see what's coming up next!
I'm having a great time. I got to wave to a bunch of Chinese people, and tomorrow I'll go to talk to them. We've been playing Mao and listening to music and talking to people from Holland at our hotel. The contest was fun and everything here is beautiful. It's great being here with my friends.
Many people claim our American culture has taken over the world, placing McDonalds at every street corner in every country imaginable. While there are McDonalds in Vienna, it is uplifting to see a city, and an entire country with so much culture, history, and unique importance in the world. Vienna holds some of the last remnants of nobility, aristocracy, and most importantly, a culture based on classical performances every day of the week. Stepping outside in a city and hearing the music surrounding us is uplifting and inspiring. It is a joy to know that globalization has refused to take away the music in the world.
My favorite day was the 4th of July when we played in the most acoustically wonderful hall in the world, the Musikverein. It will remain in my memory forever.
I have been a professional musician for 30 years, and I finally know how to play a Viennese Waltz! Thank you Summa Cum Laude Festival!
Diana Anderson
(Musical Director)
A great group of young musicians, a great group of chaperones, and a city that is proud to place it's amazingly rich culture and history above much of what is mistakenly considered "progress". To hear the middle section of "Ellis Island" played in the Golden Hall on the 4th of July, and better yet, to watch my much- loved son and other, all bright, beautiful faces perform it, was a life-forming, transcendant moment.

Das Festival war für uns eine ganz tolle Sache, inhaltlich, organisatorisch, atmosphärisch. Gratulation zur und Dank für Arbeit des ganzen SCL Teams.
Hermann Ostendarp
Dirigent / Il Mosaico
Enthusiastische Musikgruppen, tolle Stimmung vor, im und nach dem Konzert, ein Augen- und Ohrenschmaus, eine völkerverbindende Veranstaltung - Gratulation an alle, die dazu beitragen, Musik als die internationale Sprache des Herzens zu etablieren. Über die einzelnen Darbietungen hinaus beeindruckte mich, wie der Dirigent, Herr Ronald Smart, alle Anwesenden zum mehrstimmigen Singen der Summa Cum Laude-Hymne, zum gemeinsamen Klingen und Schwingen brachte. Danke, dass ich dabei sein durfte!

The Pavlova Is an Amazing Show-Stopping Summer Dessert
It's hump day. Why not celebrate with something sweet? Welcome to Baking Wednesday.
(Credit: Oof Verschuren)
In terms of show-stopping desserts, you can't go wrong with one that's named after a ballerina. With a firm and crisp outer shell, similar to a meringue cookie, this lady is light on her feet. But here's the thing: she bakes at 200 degrees in the oven for three hours, then hangs out in the turned-off oven for another two. But all that time is worth it when the finished product is covered in a blanket of strawberries and raspberries and served with a glass of rose.
Pavlova will give her best performance. But don't rush her–being this good, she's a bit of a diva.

TUPELO – Henry Gooszen of Tupelo didn't even know he was going to get a free lunch when he and some of his family happened into Sweet Peppers Deli for lunch on Monday.
"That was a very nice surprise," said the 86-year-old veteran, who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
For the past several years, the restaurant has provided a free entree on Memorial Day to anyone who comes into the restaurant in uniform or with military identification, said Cory Fremont, general manager.
"It's a free entree to any serviceman or servicewoman, past or present, veteran or active, as well as first responders, police officers, firefighters, paramedics – all the people who keep us safe," he said.
"It really brought it home this year when we lost an officer in this town," Fremont said, referring to Sgt. Gale Stauffer, a Tupelo officer gunned down in December. "There's a chance for them to lose their lives or endanger their lives every day."
Fremont said the restaurant typically provides free meals to 40 to 50 veterans or emergency service personnel each Memorial Day in Tupelo at the restaurant on West Main and at Sweet Peppers Express in The Mall at Barnes Crossing.
"It's a great way for us to honor the people who keep us free," he said. "What would our lives be like if we didn't have a military?"

Time for some new leadersip in office
April 28, 2013
DEAR EDITOR: We the people of Warren have a bad habit of electing or re-electing the same circle of people into city offices time and time again....
Democrats replacing other Democrats = same old, same old.
Nothing will change.

LOL! "new blood" but same ideas. Good luck!
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"fresh new ideas" Actually just do what is proven to work. You have the big government, high tax, high regulation, crony capitalism and then you have the way that works. If you want business to grow incorporate ideas that foster growth not stifle it. Sadly those with that type of mindset will never be elected in the valley. Warren and Youngstown will be dependent on the scraps from other areas that do foster growth.

LOTS of opinion. ZERO facts.

NMC - yes I agree, Jim Graham would be new blood and deserves a chance to show what he can do for Warren. Warren will only get worse if crooked politicians like Bob Dean continue in office.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
That's been my point all along, out with the same old career Politicians and give new blood a chance...

Jim Graham has my vote. Bob Dean is as crooked as the day is long after his handling of the $61,000 funeral funds.
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Warren needs leadership! If you keep doing what you have been doing, you'll keep getting the same results! Warren needs much better results than we have been getting! That will only come with fresh new leadership! And if they don't do the job then we vote them out of office too! Period!

Over the Holidays, Vince Coleman had the opportunity to take in the film "True Grit."
As a long time fan of Coen Brother greats such as Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou?, The Big Lebowski, and No Country for Old Men, Vince Coleman was excited to see what he predicted to be a "Coen Brothers style" Western. Boy, was Vince Coleman wrong. I was wrong like my agent when he told me "this will all blow over," and wrong like my boy Phil in '93 when he brought me that 9 iron into the clubhouse. This film is a classically structured Western!
True Grit is the story of Mattie Ross, (Hailee Steinfeld) a precocious 14 year old girl (and the films narrator) hellbent on obtaining justice for her murdered father. She retains Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) to track and capture Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin [who potentially beat up on Diane Lane, who is his wife and is real fine] ), the murderer. Ross chooses Cogburn, a slovenly curmudgeon whom she is told possess "True Grit." Both Steinfeld and Bridges will likely receive oscar nods.
Against Cogburn's wishes, Mattie insists on accompanying him on his journey into the "Indian Nation" in search of Chaney. They are joined by Ben Affleck's dear friend Matt Damon, who plays Texas Ranger LaBoeuf. Along the way, with no shortage of classic Western surprises and trademark Coen Brother's dialogue, all three learn a lesson in "True Grit."
This film is a remake of the 1969 John Wayne film of the same name. It shares little in common with anything the Coen brothers have released to date. True Grit is quite simply a Western made to Coen Brother's standards. I found it to be very entertaining and artfully made with as many laughs as any "comedy" I'd seen lately.
I gave it 4 out of 4 Stolen Bases!

Early in his diplomatic career Winston Lord learned about writing and rewriting and rewriting. As a special assistant to Henry Kissinger, Lord drafted speeches and reports for his boss. "One day," Lord recalls, "I gave him a speech and he said, 'Is that the best you can do?' And I said, 'I'll try a little harder.' I did a second draft and he said, 'Are you sure that's the best you can do?' So I did another, and after I delivered the sixth draft he said, 'Is this the best?' I replied, 'Dammit, yes. I beat my brains out.' And he said, 'Okay, now I'll read it.' "
With his writer wife, Bette Bao, Winston was not such a relentless taskmaster, but he did read the manuscript for her first novel, Spring Moon (Harper & Row, $14.95), at least 30 times before it went to the printer. For six years she wrote and revised five nights a week from midnight to dawn, while nibbling Chinese plum candies. The result is a lyrical story of China's tumultuous past century which concentrates on five generations of a mandarin family. Published only two weeks ago, the novel is already a best-seller. Paperback and book club rights have netted some $500,000, and the novel is to be published in 11 languages. "My inspiration was a trip back to China," the Shanghai-born author explains. "At the time the two great peoples in my life were trying to get together politically. I thought I could be a bridge from the land of my ancestors to the country I now call home."
Winston Lord was one of Kissinger's principal aides for seven years, first on the National Security Council staff, then at the State Department. He accompanied Kissinger on his secret 1971 mission to Peking that led to President Nixon's visit the following year. In November 1973 Bette Bao was allowed to join her diplomat husband on a China trip. During her two-month stay she was reunited with relatives she had not seen since her family left the country in 1946. At first she was unnerved by her experiences. Touring Canton alone, she found hundreds of Chinese following her on walks: "I would speak to them, but they wouldn't reply. I dressed like a Westerner and they didn't know who I was." Bette felt the irony acutely. "I had lived most of my life in America as a visible minority," she says, "and here I was back in the land where I was born, an outsider."
Even more poignant was a visit to her birthplace. "I traveled by train to Shanghai," she says. "I peered out the window into darkness, so anxious to see my relatives and wondering if they would stare at me and have nothing to say, too. Then the train pulled into the station; I saw my aunts and uncles on the platform with little red books in their hands." The books weren't of Mao's thoughts but English-Chinese dictionaries in case Bette had forgotten her native tongue. "I rushed over and hugged them," she says, "and that of course was very un-Chinese, but I think they forgave this stranger who had come home."
Bette had planned a nonfiction account of her journey, but soon realized that such a book might jeopardize her relatives. She switched to fiction. "I found myself sitting at dinner parties," she recalls, "thinking of the people I was writing about. They lived with me through this whole period, and one of my problems was killing them off. I was unwilling to do so." She overcame that reluctance, brought the project to a happy end and now exults, "At 43, I finally have a calling."
At 44, Winston's is diplomacy. Since 1977 he has served as president of the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations. It counts among its 2,000 members some of the nation's most influential leaders (David Rockefeller, Alexander Haig, Walter Wriston) who use it as a forum to study and debate U.S. foreign policy issues. The council also publishes the prestigious journal Foreign Affairs.
"As a couple, the Lords are very complementary," observes Nancy Kissinger. "Neither one has an ego problem. They know exactly where they are going, so they're justifiably proud of each other's accomplishments." Yet it is Bette, not Winston, who is the more ambitious. "If you look at his resumed you would assume he was a driven man," notes Bette. "But he's not. When he was working 18 hours a day at the State Department, I never felt compromised, because I knew his work was not his mistress. He is committed to his job, but his heart is always at home."
Home is an elegant Park Avenue duplex. Winston, who receives a $100,000-a-year salary, also benefits from a family fortune: He is the son of a successful textiles manufacturer and the great-grandson of Charles Alfred Pillsbury, who founded the Minneapolis flour company. After Hotchkiss and Yale ('59), Lord went to Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. His mother, Mary Lord, was at the time the U.S. representative on the U.N.'s Human Rights Commission.
At a Fletcher class mixer he met Bette Bao. She had arrived in Brooklyn at age 8, the daughter of a Chinese government official who was sent to the U.S. to buy merchandise. Bette's earliest memories of her war-torn homeland are the sound of air raid sirens and scurrying to shelters clutching her silkworm collection. After the Communist takeover, the Baos decided not to return, though it meant leaving Bette's infant sister behind. (She finally came to the U.S. in 1962.)
In Brooklyn Mrs. Bao informed Bette, who could not speak English, that she would have to be a "little ambassador" for her 450 million countrymen. The child was enrolled in a public school, and the first test of her poise came when a classmate presented her with a chocolate bar. After gobbling it down, she learned that mischievous Tommy O'Ryan had treated her to Ex-Lax.
Bette went to movies constantly to improve her English, and at 12 began working as a cashier in a Chinese restaurant. She attended Tufts as an undergraduate on a scholarship and won another to Fletcher.
When she and Winston met, Bette remembers, "He invited me to dance, then proceeded to ask, 'Have you encountered much racial discrimination in this country?' I was dumbfounded. I thought he was taking a goddam survey." Says Winston: "I was my usual gauche self."
They courted for four years but dithered over whether to wed. While Winston did a short Army hitch and joined the Foreign Service, Bette headed west to the University of Hawaii. "I was proud and did not want to marry him without having made my mark," she explains. In Honolulu she assisted the director of the university's East-West Center and soon ran a staff of 25. In 1962 Winston finally proposed.
Both families were delighted and have remained close. To illustrate the point, Winston tells the story of his 30th birthday, when his wife was seven months pregnant. "My parents flew to Washington to take us to the Jockey Club, a fancy restaurant," Winston says. "Bette is allergic to alcohol, but my mother persuaded her to have a champagne cocktail. Soon Bette became very dizzy, got up, stumbled over to the maître d' and collapsed flat on her back, looking like Moby Dick. At that point," Lord continues, "my mother, who had had about four martinis, raced over to give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. I don't think the martini breath helped."
The Lord children—Lisa Pillsbury, now 17, and Winston Bao, 14—were born in Washington. Later the family spent two years in Geneva, where Winston was involved in U.S. trade negotiations. He signed on with Kissinger in 1969. "There's no question I learned more about foreign policy from him than anybody else," says Winston. Lord was present at the secret negotiations in Paris and Hanoi to end the Vietnam War. He sat in on six conferences with leaders in the Soviet Union and participated in the intricate dealings between Israel and Egypt during Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy. "With the Russians you haggle like a rug merchant," says Winston. "The Chinese generally put forth their real position from the beginning. With the Vietnamese it was just a long endurance test. The Israelis look at things like lawyers and haggle over details."
After the Carter Administration took office, the Lords bailed out to a ranch in the Colorado Rockies. "There's always some adjustment when you leave a position of power and influence," says Winston, "but I had no problem." He read, helped Bette revise her manuscript and grappled with his children's homework until he was offered his current job.
In Manhattan, the Lords socialize with the Kissingers, the Tom Brokaws and the David Brinkleys. At home a cook whips up Chinese specialties six nights a week and rests on the seventh, when the family eats hamburgers. The Lords' favorite weekend excursion: seeing four movies in a row.
Bette plans to write a second novel—subject uncertain—and Winston expects to remain at the council for several more years, but does not discount the possibility of returning to government service. "I don't really miss the power, but I may go back someday," he muses. "I don't plan my life very carefully. Things seem to fall into place." His wife is less patient. She recently consulted a fortune-teller who "told me the curse of my life is that I will never be able to sit down." And so, while Bette Bao Lord takes a long march through 20 cities to promote her novel, Winston tends the home front while taking on one more clandestine mission—casing Manhattan bookstores to find which ones have his wife's book prominently displayed. "I've had my share of the limelight," he says proudly. "Now it's her turn."

MILAN — Judge Antonella Brambilla was visibly irritated on Wednesday as she presided over a hearing in the ongoing tax trial of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
This story first appeared in the March 7, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
In an authoritative manner that left little room for maneuvering, Brambilla decided to slash the number of witnesses presented by the defendants' lawyers and expected to take the stand in future hearings, defining them as "irrelevant." The only two witnesses expected to take the stand for company manager Antoine Noella were ruled out, and three of the witnesses called by the designers' lawyer Massimo Dinoia were also invalidated. There was also some quibbling over scheduling upcoming hearings as Brambilla demanded consultants take the stand before the witnesses.
Also, Brambilla rejected objections put forward by Dinoia, who accused prosecutors Gaetano Ruta and Laura Pedio of violating international regulations in their procedure to enlist two Italian witnesses residing abroad so that they could take the stand on Wednesday.
RELATED STORY: Hearings Go On in Dolce, Gabbana Case >>
Federica Marchionni, a Dolce & Gabbana employee who lives in the U.S., did not make it to the courthouse, and Brambilla will decide on March 20, the next scheduled hearing, "on her objective relevance."
The other witness, Claudia Valentina Bertinetti, arrived later in the morning from Switzerland, where she currently works for Nestlé. She was trademark manager for Gado Sarl from Oct. 2006 to Dec. 2007. The investigations that led to both designers being charged with alleged tax evasion related to the 2004 sale of the Dolce & Gabbana and D&G brands to the designers' Luxembourg-based holding company Gado. The Italian tax police reportedly consider Gado essentially a legal entity used to avoid higher corporate taxes in Italy. Dolce and Gabbana are charged with omitted and unfaithful earnings declarations. The defendants have denied the charges.
Bertinetti succeeded Maria Grazia Bergomi, who took the stand on Feb. 6. Like Bergomi, Bertinetti said there were no other Gado employees and that she was autonomous in managing the brands' protection. Only for "exceptional cases, the confiscation of merchandise or penal actions," she would meet with Dolce & Gabbana managing director and board member Cristiana Ruella, who frequently traveled to Luxembourg, or discuss the issues via e-mail or telephone. When Bertinetti was informed that Gado was going to change headquarters and was asked if she wanted to continue in her position, Bertinetti decided to remain in Luxembourg for personal reasons, she related.
Ruella and company manager Giuseppe Minoni, who were in attendance with Dolce's brother Alfonso, were expected to take the stand on Wednesday, but as the hearing did not continue into the afternoon session, the testimony is likely going to take place on March 20. Hearings were also scheduled for April 10 and 17.

Shelby County Airport Damage
June 11, 2012
A line of thunderstorms moved across Central Alabama during the late afternoon and into the evening hours. Numerous Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued and many locations received brief wind gusts of 60 mph or more.
One of these locations was the Shelby County Airport which is located next to the Birmingham National Weather Service Forecast Office. The official observatioanl equipment measured a wind gust of 43 mph. It was probable that the winds were higher just yards from the measuring equipment. The damage indicators suggest localized winds of 60 to 65 mph.
The Shelby County Airport lost 2 hangers. Several planes were damages. One plane was overturned on the taxi way with the pilot in the plane. The FBO building had large doors on both sides of the building blown down.

Ellen Allien & Apparat – Orchestra Of Bubbles
Ellen Allien and Apparat, two headstrong musicians who indeed differ in their musical context but still come together not just at the peripheral rims, collaborated on an album together: "Orchestra of Bubbles". By a deep plunge into the world of sound of their counterpart both are trying to find gateways in order to expand their own possibilities.
While Apparat used to stand for an algorithms-based aesthetics and Ellen Allien fathomed the possible heights and depths of the dance floor widthways as well , for their joint production they dabble in a principle which electronic music is dedicated to from the very beginning and which is now only spelled differently: Contingency. Meaning, Ellen Allien and Apparat indeed take on the connections between Techno and IDM, but extend the original horizon with their thoughtful way of production where they interpenetrate, empathise and move their own artistic borders.
This becomes precise in those moments when Apparat not just aims at the dance floor but reaches it with the help of Ellen Alliens keen sense for a heavy on bass-keynote that gives his melancholic superstructure its cathedral of sound-adhesion. On the other hand Ellen Alliens claim to produce "brainish" music isnt just an empty phrase but comes alive again.
By using their special Lego-block beats the musicians create a playful re-definition of abstract Elektro, which could be seen as the gateway between both of them and at the same time synchronizes their heart beats.

I made this. It's kind of big. You don't realize what 51/2" looks like until you cut it out. I couldn't find styrofoam stars anywhere. I used 6mm foam sheet. It worked great. I changed it up a bit. I used my left over Close to My Heart papers instead. Other than that, this is a great project.

Hostal Casa Verde
Casa Verde offers a new concept of hostel in Pichilemu, a place for rest inspired by life quality, surfing, nature and earth protection.
As we are the first eco-friendly hostel in Pichilemu you will experience simple practices that help us to live in balance with the environment, such as reduce, recycle, re-use, cultivate, etc.
The hostel has one double room with private bathroom and as well as five dorms for four people each. Our beds are king single beds. One of our dorms is only for girls and all of them have sea view and deck access. We have big and new bathrooms. Breakfast, Casa Verde-style, is included.
Our common spaces will make you feel sweet-as while you enjoy a cold beer at the lounge. There's also a fully equipped kitchen, dining table, internet area and other places outside such as a fireplace, BBQ, hammocks,veggie garden, surf racks, solar-heated outside shower, games, free bicycles and the best sunset you will ever see. Plus you've got Los Morros at the back - no other hostel can say that !
Here at Casa Verde, we're trying to minimise our impact on the environment by recycling everything possible, including food. We then use our compost in our veggie garden. We also have a solar-heated shower for a post-surf wash-off. We harvest all rain water to be used for the veggie garden and other gardens. The hostel has been constructed using a lot of recycled materials, adding to our green concept .
We offer surf lessons with all the equipment included and we also have boards and wetsuits for hire. We have all you need in our Surf Shop, best in town and it's right here!
There's more activities like horseback riding, wine tours, surf lessons and extra services as laundry, transportation to-and-from the surf spots (Puertecillo and Buchupureo included) and a pick-up service from the Bus Station (no charge) are available 24/7.
We have beers and coke at the hostel, free Wi-Fi and typical Chilean meals with Mrs Eugenia.
We have bikes free-of-charge so you can access the waves or town at your convenience. We're only a five-minute ride into town and five minutes to Punta de Lobos .
We also can help you if you need to make your own board specific for (sup and kite) Chile with good and resistant materials.
Ask for our surf trips to secret spots around this area.
So, guys! We'll be waiting for you to come and live the Casa Verde experience in a cozy place with the best staff (full English speakers), funny dogs, best vibes, best waves and full of light. So then see you soon!!!

Yeah, he has given me several compliments. It's funny though, I'm pretty strong in some things and in other things, I'm weak as a kitten. I have lost more weight, I can see it and can tell by the way my clothes fit.
My eating has been a bit less structured since SWMBO has been away. It is a tradition that Boy and I go to the local Chinese place when we are on our own, which we did on Tuesday. But turns out that Eldest and Middlest wanted to go out to dinner and we wound up at the same Chinese place last night too, much to boy's delight. Middlest spent a year in China studying, and is fluent. He loves to suddenly start speaking Chinese to the wait staff to see their reactions. It was very funny and I think every person who worked there came over to chat with him and were all complementary. Even sent over a round of beers! It was fun.
When I get Chinese, these days, I get the steamed chicken and mixed vegetables and brown rice. But boy was so excited to see his brothers that he really didn't eat all that much so I picked at his Lo Mein. I had pretty remarkable indigestion all evening as a result. Wheat and really bad oils no doubt. Normally bad eating doesn't affect me so clearly after eating bad foods and I marvel at other people who in their journals ascribe all sorts of ills to sloppy eating. But this was pretty clear.
Yesterday's training was Chest and Arms. Today my pecs hurt just a bit and this morning, after waking, but before getting out of bed, I felt a tightness in my chest and worried that I was having a heart attack! Lol! Then I remembered the workout and did some stretches and it was all better! :-)

Art Glass Extravaganza Raises More Than $195,000 for FAU's Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education
BOCA RATON, Fla. (April 17, 2013) – The Friends of the Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education (CHHRE) at Florida Atlantic University recently hosted the Art Glass Extravaganza with more than 80 guests at the Habatat Galleries in West Palm Beach. Marilyn Simon Weinberg and Arthur Gutterman served as co-chairs of the event, which raised $195,650 to benefit the Center.
"I am humbled and honored by all who continue to give their support and understand the importance of education to ensure the lessons of the Holocaust are remembered to benefit all generations," said Weinberg.
Proceeds will support the important work of the Center in outreach, training and services to hundreds of K-12 teachers and thousands of children in the local community. The Center promotes important programs that teach respect for all people, as well as an acceptance and celebration of differences that ultimately create a better world for current and future generations.
"The support of Marilyn Weinberg and the Friends of the Center is essential to our ability to continue educating teachers, students and parents in our highly diverse region to be able to live together and stand up for each other," said Rose Gatens, Ph.D., director of the CHHRE.
Habatat Galleries specializes in contemporary glass sculpture and fine art sculpture from both national and international artists. Guests were able to purchase individual pieces of art glass with 20 percent of the sales donated to CHHRE. An auction was held with proceeds benefitting the Center.
The Friends of the CHHRE is a group of individuals dedicated to raising funds to ensure the continued operation of the Center. The CHHRE has relied on private funding to sustain its programs and operation since 2008, when public funding was discontinued because of budget cuts. The Art Glass Extravaganza is the fourth annual fundraising event for the Center. The three previous fundraisers have culminated in more than $400,000 of funding for the CHHRE.
For more information or to support the FAU Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education, call 561-297-2929 or visit www.coe.fau.edu/CHHRE .
About the Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education at Florida Atlantic University :
FAU's Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education was established in 1996 by the Florida Department of Education to support teachers implementing the state's mandate for Holocaust education. Through its training, programs and resources, the Center seeks to educate students about the Holocaust in order to nurture citizens who recognize prejudice and hatred, including anti-Semitism and racism; understand that such beliefs can lead to genocide; know how to intervene against prejudice and hatred; be prepared to act on behalf of others, even those you may not know; and understand citizen's responsibility for pholding democracy in a pluralistic society.
Florida Atlantic University, established in 1961, officially opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. Today, the University, with an annual economic impact of $6.3 billion, serves more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students at sites throughout its six-county service region in southeast Florida. FAU's world-class teaching and research faculty serves students through 10 colleges: the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, the College of Business, the College for Design and Social Inquiry, the College of Education, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the Graduate College, the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing and the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science.

If you look back to those long summer afternoons of reading during your childhood with longing, this book is for you. Three years after losing her beautiful and talented older sister, Anne-Marie, to cancer, Nina Sankovitch decided to do something she had long dreamed of doing, making books central to her life again. Of course as the mother of three teens and one preteen - all boys - she didn't have much free time. But from Oct. 28, 2008 to the same date in 2009 Nina read and read and read some more.
In the intervening years after her sister's death, Nina had kept fiendishly busy, driving, cooking, cleaning, heading committees, and organizing literary projects--all the myriad duties of raising a family and being involved in her Connecticut community. But each day she felt guilty to be alive because her sister had died. This lovely book is both a tribute to a sister, and a memoir of their relationship. It's also a narrative about how concentrating on reading finally healed Nina, so that she was eager to go forward again.
Nina resurrected (reupholstered) the big purple chair that one of their cats had made its own by spraying on it. Here in this regal chair for two, three, even four hours a day, Nina both lost and found herself through books.
Besides telling Anne-Marie's story, Tolstoy and the Purple Chair also relates the story of her father, Anatole, who lost three aunts and uncles in a shooting during WW II. All were shot in his family's kitchen in Poland while their terrified mother lay upstairs in her sick bed. Anatole also suffered from TB after WW II and spent over two years in a sanatorium in the mountains recovering after the war. Nina compares her year of reading to those years of rest and recuperation that her father experienced there.

Will funding Brisbane's Cross River Rail project become a federal election issue?
- From: The Courier-Mail
- January 28, 2013
WILL this year's federal election help solve Brisbane's biggest transport bottleneck even if it means Federal Labor gives Campbell Newman an enormous free kick?
We've known for at least the past five years that the city's sole Brisbane River rail crossing, the Merivale Bridge, is likely to reach capacity by 2016.
Anna Bligh's answer was to spend around $74 million of state and federal money planning the Cross River Rail project (pictured), an 18km-long, mainly underground line linking Brisbane's northern and southern suburbs via a mid-city tunnel under the river and making some initial property acquisitions.
The Federal Government's advisory body, Infrastructure Australia, loved the scheme so much it last year listed it as one of a handful of "ready-to-proceed" projects on its national infrastructure priority list.
All that was missing was the funding for a project then costed at $6.4 billion. Both the state and federal governments cried poor. Nothing's changed since then except that now we have a looming federal poll and a national Labor Government deeply unpopular in Queensland.
We shouldn't underestimate the motivating power of an election year for a government behind in the polls.
Three years ago, in 2010, Prime Minister Julia Gillard, scrambling to hold on to seats in southeast Queensland announced it was committing $742 million to the long-mooted rail link to Redcliffe, much to the surprise of the Bligh government, which didn't even have the project on its to-do list.
The need for the Cross River Rail project is far more pressing than the Redcliffe line, which was first discussed more than a century ago and is clearly a high priority for Transport minister Scott Emerson if not for Newman and his deputy Jeff Seeney, who seem more focused on the Toowoomba second range crossing.
What happens next is in the hands of the Gillard Government, which has had its job made slightly easier thanks to the Newman administration's recalculation of the scope and cost of the project to a lower figure of $4.4 billion.
The State would like the Commonwealth to contribute 80 per cent of the project's total cost, which seems unlikely even if the funds were available, given that previous federal contributions to other big Queensland transport schemes, such as the Gold Coast light rail line and the Redcliffe rail link, have been at substantially lower levels.
But the state has provided another helpful funding option for the Federal Government to consider, a package of short-term measures aimed at increasing peak-hour passenger rail capacity by up to 40 per cent, at an estimated cost of between $200 million to $300 million.
The aim of these stop-gap measures, which include removing some seats from trains to provide more standing room for commuters, rescheduling interstate services out of peak periods and new signalling, is to extend the Merivale Bridge's full-capacity crunch date from 2016, to at least 2020, which is the Newman Government's current target date for completion of its pared-down version of Bligh's cross-river project.
All of which presents the Gillard Government with an exquisite dilemma. Its own expert advice says Brisbane Cross River Rail project is one of the most important, ready-to-go-now nation-building projects in the country and, even if it can't find all the money straight away, it can start the process by supporting the Queensland Government's temporary fix.
But to do so would enormously boost Newman's can-do credentials, who would rightly be able to claim success where Bligh's Labor administration had failed. And is that really what Gillard wants in the lead-up to the election?
Whatever happens next, Newman is in the box seat. Either Gillard and Treasurer Wayne Swan agree to start funding the project or else they refuse, giving the conservatives ammunition to damn federal Labor's neglect of Queensland.
Alternatively, Newman can negotiate a funding agreement with federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott.
When Bligh announced her Cross River Rail plan in 2009 - then estimated to cost around $14 billion - it all seemed like so much wishful thinking.
But now, the chances of it happening are growing by the day, particularly if Newman embraces Emerson's sense of urgency to present a united front to the Feds.
Bligh however won't be around to take any of the credit when it finally becomes reality. Politics is a cruel profession.

To most of us, a rotting stump is—well—a rotting stump. But for many other life forms, ranging from micro-organisms to insects to birds (and the occasional amphibian), rotting wood can be a valuable resource for food and shelter.

Golfland Sunsplash
155 W. Hampton Ave., Mesa
Perhaps the only upside of brutal Phoenix summers is that people have come up with great ways to beat the heat. Sunsplash Waterpark in Mesa does it best, offering visitors a 450,000-gallon wave pool, a relaxing lazy river and plenty of ways to get a thrill while cooling off. Visitors young and old can take on the twists and turns of the Dragon Tail flume slides or soak up the sun on the Endless River. The especially brave can take a spin on the Cauldron, a four-story drop into an open bowl, which spins you around until it drops you out. It's a lot more fun than it sounds.

Catasauqua solicitor: Legal action needs to be taken against owners of collapsed building
A Lehigh County official says he wants to take legal action against the owners of a building that collapsed in Catasauqua.
The home on Crane Street came down over the weekend, and two families were displaced.
Crews were back out at the scene Tuesday working to clean up to the mess.
According to officials, the New Jersey company that owns the building was ordered to submit an engineering study for demolition but never did.
They also say the company was fined several times over the past eight months for the condition of the home.
At a meeting last night, the borough solicitor said that once the final cost for the clean-up is in, he'll sue the property owners and put a lien against the property.

Who knew? Owen Wilson has a touch of the poet.
"He's a big poetry fan, and I am too. So we email poems to each other," says Academy Award-wining actor Alan Arkin, 74, who recently wrapped the film Marley & Me alongside Wilson.
At the Los Angeles premiere Monday night of Arkin's latest film Get Smart, also starring Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, Arkin told PEOPLE: "We sent little poems to each other since the movie."
Wilson, 39, who recently split from actress Kate Hudson, also impressed Arkin with his ability to recite poems from memory.
"He's very literate ... enormously literate," adds Arkin. "He can quote a lot of great writers verbatim – long passages."
Marley & Me, also starring Jennifer Aniston, is due out in December.

Don't let Toxic Paint Fumes Stop you from Enjoying your Home
Many paints contain harmful volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) which continue to be emitted for days, weeks or even months after painting. This results in exposure not only to unpleasant paint odors but to chemicals which could be harmful to your family's health. The Smelleze® Paint Deodorizer Pouch was specially developed to eliminate toxic paint odors on contact without masking them with fragrances. This helps keep your home safe and smelling clean.
For a breath of fresh air, simply hang the reusable Smelleze® pouches in rooms that were painted or place on return air ducts and smell the difference. As a precaution, it is also advantageous to use Smelleze® during painting to minimize the odors. To rejuvenate periodically, place in direct sunlight for a day and reuse. Replace when rejuvenation does not help. Smelleze® can work for years so it is very cost effective.
Smelleze® is non-toxic, safe, reusable recyclable, natural, odorless, non-flammable and non-caustic. Smelleze® is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating toxic paint odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. It does not contain VOCs, harmful or ozone depleting chemicals and is especially beneficial for those suffering from allergies and chemical sensitivity. No fossil fuels are used in the production of Smelleze® odor control media.
Paint Odor Problems
Many paints contain volatile organic compounds (VOC's) which continue to be emitted for days after a paint job. Unfortunately, most ventilation systems only recirculate room air and remove large particulate matter such as dirt, dust, and lint. Noxious paint odors are left free to recirculate in the air you breathe. Over time, they could increase in concentration if left untreated. This results in exposure to not only unpleasant odors but to potentially harmful chemicals which could cause health problems.
The Solution
The Smelleze® Paint Deodorizer Pouch was specially developed to adsorb, neutralize, and encapsulate many unpleasant paint odors on contact. Smelleze® will truly cleanse the air of noxious odors, complement existing ventilation systems, and result in a fresh smelling home. This will be appreciated by the whole family.
It's No Cover-up
The Smelleze® Paint Deodorizer Pouch is a natural deodorizer that can be used to eliminate noxious and unpleasant paint odors instead of merely masking them with fragrances. Smelleze® is negatively charged whereas odoriferous gases ride on positively charged particles. As a result, Smelleze® draws in paint odors like a strong magnet. Thereafter, it traps, neutralizes, and encapsulates the odors without smelly cover-ups. The molecular structure of Smelleze® is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives Smelleze® an enormous surface area that is larger than several football fields. The latter enables Smelleze® to adsorb phenomenal amounts of paint odors and work for months.
Environmentally Friendly
The Smelleze® Paint Deodorizer Pouch is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating paint odors without adding pollutants to the air employees breathe and improving indoor air quality. Smelleze® does not contain chemical additives and is especially beneficial for those suffering from chemical sensitivity.
Smelleze® can be effectively used in all homes to eliminate many paint odors.
For a breath of fresh air, simply remove the plastic cover, place Smelleze® pouches in the area to treated, and smell the difference. Use one or more recommended size pouches per area treated. This product will function most efficiently in an enclosed area with good air circulation. To obtain the best results, remove the odor sources (e.g. open paint containers) and clean the affected area prior to treating with Smelleze®. For extra effectiveness, this product may be used in conjunction with Smelleze® General Purpose Deodorizer Granules and Powder.
