Concert Celebrates the Joy and Hope of Religious Life
January 26 concert will feature 60-voice choir, vocal and instrumental soloists
"In Joyful Hope" will feature a 60-voice massed choir under the direction of Charles Q. Sullivan, executive and artistic director of Early Music Now, along with the School Sister of St. Francis Chapel Singers and vocal and instrumental soloists. The concert is free and open to the public. A free will offering will be accepted.
"Seeing women and men from ten different communities join their voices, their hearts, and their spirits was a powerful living witness of consecrated life in the Church," said Sister Mary Jane Wagner, Director of the School Sisters of St. Francis Music Ministry and an organizer of last year and this year's event.
"The concert is an example of just one of the many ways that the communities of religious women and men collaborate together in our archdiocese,"
Sister Marianne Kempa, SSND, sees great potential in this year's concert.
"I hope that it will be a joy-filled inspiring experience for participants as well as attendees—a time for all to be grateful that we are God's people working together to bring joy and hope to our world!"
St. Joseph Chapel is located at St. Joseph Center, the international motherhouse of the School Sisters of St. Francis. Ample free parking is available in the School Sisters of St. Francis lot at 29th Street and Orchard Street.
For more information about this special event, please contact Sister Mary Jane Wagner at 414-385-5246 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hi all,
I am a GoPhone customer and looking for my voice call history. When I log in to my account and check my voice call history, what I see is the following:
1) Incoming calls
2) Missed calls
3) Outgoing calls, but only if it charges money. In other words, only the calls when the other party, whom I called, answered.
What I am looking for is "the outgoing calls in which the other party didn't answer". In other words, part of my outgoing calls which are considered as 'missing call' for the other party. Is there any way to check this?
I would really appreciate your help.
Unfortunately, if a call is never connected and there is no charge, it basically counts as 0 minutes, like no call was made, and no record of it is stored. However they should be saved in your phone's call history.

ShadowHide: Human!
ShadowHide gives a human snort.
"You Humans just don't know how to control your powers can you?" ShadowHide yellow eyes fall on Brandon who a mommet ago had lost control of his powers. "No wonder the mother has sent me here to protect you. You all are just children!!!" ShadowHide raises to his hindlegs turning into a human, with dark brown skin, very long blue-black hair and yellow eyes, but he still has his wolf ears and tail.
Everyone gasps as ShadowHide turns human. What? They haven't seen a lunar wolf transform before?
"You." ShadowHide points to brandon who is leaning against Nero for support. "Are the most worst human i have every meet! You don't even think. You see Lunar wolf and you just attack. I feel sorry for your brother but killing me won't change anything. For i was not there when your so called 'brother' was taking, i was a tiny pup barely out of the nursey. You attacked me for no good reason. " With one last angry look at Brandon, he turns walking out the room.

Fixed now, thanks. Turned out to be the way I'd formated the address range to be scanned. I was using 192.168.168.1-192.168.168.254 when I should have been using 192.168.168.1-254

Danny: DayMature
The next morning my head was pounding. I didn't get drunk, I don't remember going anywhere near alcohol. But, Damien had given himself to me for a day. I had spent the whole night planning and my lack of sleep showed. I had no idea when he was turning up, but as a quick glance to the clock told me it was seven in the morning. I figured I had time for a nice warm shower. And God did it help.
I shook my head a little as I got out, shaking myself dry like a dog. I actually had a day off, free from work and school. I should have spent it going to see Kyle. But, he wasn't mine anymore and I had to respect that. I know the hypocrisy of saying I had to respect his wishes and yet I was now seeing his boyfriend. But I figured they were good together. I of all people couldn't split them up. I donned my skinny's and converse and began to get breakfast. After that I tidied up my mess of an apartment.
As if on cue, just as I finished, Damien knocked. The time had reached just past twelve and I realised that my breakfast wasn't working any more. My stomach growled and I whined as I opened the door. He just stood there awkwardly with a weak smile on his face and I couldn't help but smile back. "Come in, would you like a drink?" I smiled my best, warmest and most welcoming smile
"Uh, yeah, sure," he went in and stared blankly in front of him. I didn't know how to make him more comfortable, so instead I ushered him into the front room and went to make coffee. I asked for his preferences and came back quickly with the two steaming cups.
"So, why are you so set on making it up to me?" I passed him his coffee and sat on the sofa, sipping at my own swiftly. It was strange, now that I think about it. I had looked up to him like a celebrity and now here he was sat on my sofa.
He sat beside me and took a gulp of his coffee, "I've spent too long being a shit person to people - I don't wanna be a shit person anymore." He murmured into the bottom of his cup, I looked at him and committed his looks to memory. I had never spent much time looking at him before.
He had ear-length chocolate hair, and hazel eyes that shimmered with his shyness as he took another sip. He had a slight beard growing and although that wasn't my usual thing, for him, I'd make an exception. What am I saying? He's not mine. It doesn't matter what I think.
"Don't you think this will upset Kyle?"
He sighed, "He knows I'm his." Oh, oh my. That felt like someone stabbed me. Why? I dunno. "I'll find a way to make it up to him, too."
I frowned a little, but then bit it back, forcing my lips upwards into a strained smile. "Okay then, First things first, food. C'mon." I stood, grinning widely as he tilted his head, confusion masking his features.
"Yes, dinner. I'm taking you out."
"Oh!" His jaw kinda dropped as his cheeks began to turn a bright red. But it soon faded to a blushed smile as he stood.
"You're cute when you smile like that," I noted, leading him out of my apartment and down the stairs, ignoring the taxi place as I began to walk down the street.
He kept beside me, but at a laboured pace. "Am I?"
"Yeah, it's sorta sweet." He blushed a little more and I couldn't help but smile. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to make you embarrassed."
"Its okay," his face twitched, I think he was smiling, but I kept my eyes on the street.
I took him to another one of those posh restaurants, sure, you were meant to dress in the right attire. But by now, they knew me. They'd just sit me in a corner out the way which I liked because it gave me privacy. "I'll treat you; I just got my money from my parents." I grinned. My parents' money just means money that they gave me to shut me up. Blackmail money. I liked it.
I told the main waiter my reservation and he smiled at me, leading us past the least amount of people he could and sitting us at a quaint table in the corner. I remember this table, it was my table. I thanked him and turned my attention back to Damien. "Anything you'd like. My treat."
"You sure?" I nodded and smiled a little wider as he looked at the prices. I didn't need to look at the menu. I knew what I'd order; they made excellent pasta with Halloumi and chicken. Cooked just right with a hint of saltiness despite the cheese. It was gorgeous... heh, sorry 'bout that. The waiter came back and after we ordered I waited silently for the food to arrive.
Damien looked around a little and I smiled. "So what would you like to do this evening?" I queried, smiling at his curiosity as I daintily wound the strands around my fork.
He ate with vigour, shrugging, but not stopping, "Dunno, that's up to you"
"And I'd like you to choose," I explained, waiting to swallow my food before opening my mouth.
He stopped eating, thinking for a moment. "Movie?" He shrugged and I nodded.
"Sure, cinema or home?"
"What's in the cinema right now?" Good question, I racked my brain trying to think of the adverts that I had seen on TV. My brain was empty-ish. I could only remember fragments and it annoyed me. I reeled off a bunch of movies and he asked me what I'd rather see. I don't know... I asked the waiter and he recommended a new action film out. Fine. We'll watch that. No doubt it'll be stupid anyway...
I waited patiently for him to finish, paying the bill and ushering him out with a smile. I hailed a taxi to take us to the cinema; it was on the outskirts of town so I had no hope of walking. Rain pattered at the windows about half way through our journey and I took the umbrella out from my coat pocket. Opening it as I walked at Damien's slow pace toward the doors. The inside of the cinema stunk of popcorn, was full of children and the fat from the hotdogs lingered in the air. I ordered our tickets and sat in the seats. God I hate these places.
I sat in silence once more, attempting not to voice my dislike of the places. It's not just the mass of kids and the grease. And I'm not being snooty and posh, it's just they're dark and if there's a fire it would end in disastrous results. But I took my mind off it by ensuring Damien was always in my peripheral. I still had no clue what I was doing. But the day was almost over, I'd be home free again.

|Retrieving jcr:data InputStream values
|Mon, 18 May 2009 23:09:45 GMT
I have an object being saved with the OCM. It has a data field of type InputStream mapped as a 'jcr:data' field. I have two users that retrieve the same object from the OCM by the UUID and walk the InputStream so the second one gets the cached object with the InputStream that has already been walked. How can I make it so that when the object is retrieved it comes with a fresh InputStream? I'm not quite sure this applied to me or not. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1187 Thanks in advance, Ryan

Over the past 3 years we have aimed to cut down variable expenses to increase our net worth and pay off our mortgage. We have achieved this by using coupons, purchasing goods on sale using coupons to maximize our savings and even learned how to cut down expenses without coupons. We now pay 50% – 70% less on our grocery bill and cut back on all our spending.
The next highest household expense is having a baby and raising a family. The fun stuff… and so the journey begins!
As we grow so does the website. Our focus is to grow in the direction towards providing Canadian families ways to save money and to have a baby on a budget as well. We have created a new website to accompany GroceryAlerts.ca that will inform you how we plan to have a baby on a budget (as we are pregnant).
The new website address is www.babyalerts.ca where we offer how to find the best priced diapers to frugal finds. It will be an online source to helping Canadian moms save money on baby, children, pregnancy and maternity products. We offer Canadian baby and children coupons, Canadian baby and children deals and ways to raise a baby on a budget. Of course we also offer a few extras like personal posts and giveaways!
Check out BabyAlerts.ca for some Canadian free baby samples and learn the Canadian frugal couples' way!

CHESTER'S most 'cycle-friendly' supermarket has been named – as well as the one with the worst facilities.
Morrisons in Saltney took the winner's crown, while Iceland in Frodsham Street was placed bottom of the pile.
Campaign group Chester Cycling Campaign (CCC) undertook the survey, which saw Tesco stores on both Sealand Road and Frodsham Street come a close second and third.
CCC spokesman Trevor Jenkins said: "We found that the more recent the store the better the facilities for the public, and Chester Cycle Campaign would like to encourage the older stores to improve facilities to bring them up to date.
"This could be supported by Cheshire West and Chester Council which has a scheme to provide stands free of charge."
The group judged each store on a range of factors and based its verdict on the quality of facilities for both staff and customers.
Mr Jenkins said: "The key criteria for the public were the number of bicycle stands, how these relate to the number of car parking spaces, whether the stands were under cover, how close the stands were to the entrance of the store and if there was signage to the stands.
"For the staff facilities we looked at whether the store provided secure storage for staff cycles, if the supermarket had a cycle-to-work scheme, if lockers and a drying area were provided and finally whether the store had a 'Bike Champion' to promote cycling for staff."
Accepting the award, Anthony Locking, deputy store manager of Morrisons, said: "We are delighted to receive this award and will continue to encourage our staff to cycle to work, recognising the health benefits and the cost savings."
The campaign group plans to repeat the survey in 2015 to see if improvements have been made.
Meanwhile, members continue to raise concerns over conflicts between pedestrians and cyclists on shared paths in the city.
A particular problem spot is the Chester Millennium Greenway, owned and run by Sustrans, which has reportedly seen a number of collisions between cyclists and walkers.
Mike Dagley, volunteer co-ordinator for Sustrans in the North West, said: "Conflict on shared-use paths is an issue we are having to address on a national scale, but we do seem to have two particular hotspots in the Chester area; one on the Greenway through Blacon and another on the new route through Burton Marshes from Sealand to Ness.
"In many ways the success of these facilities and the fantastic increase in their use in recent years is helping to exacerbate the problem, but as so often it is a very small minority of cyclists and walkers that cause the conflict and it is this group we are trying to address".
Peter Williams, of CCC, said: "We are talking about a relatively small number of incidents but any one of these can cause a massive level of local upset. We do not believe this to be a problem that is in any way limited to cyclists but as bicycles have the greater potential to create injury, whether initiated by their riders' actions or not, we feel cyclists must take the lead in sharing the path responsibly."

Almost a year ago the Lovely Crazy Lady on Road 80 did a post on Making Pandemic Influenza Kits and I thought it a marvellous idea for my 72 hr kit/Home storage... but alas did nothing about it...
Until this week...
Supplies: vitamins, fever and pain relievers (ibuprofen or acetaminophen), anti-diarrhea medication, soap, bleach, hand sanitizer, paper towels, tissues, thermometer, box of disposable gloves, at least 1 high quality surgical mask, electrolyte drinks and baking soda.
She did another reminder post this week, so on monday I went to get the supplies. I suppose the Swine Flu also has me in action. Do I believe having some bleach, and vitamins on hand will save me?? Well of course not... but I suppose it is best to be prepared, as when pandemics get out of hand, you WILL have to treat family members at home as hospitals will be too full.
I don't like Panic buying (think Y2K, bird flu etc) and try to avoid it, but you gotta get a little something sometimes. I like to think these small disasters around the world serve to remind me... Nudge ME.... to put more effort into my Food Storage (pretty non existant)
So I have prepared pretty good 72 hour Kits and a Pandemic Flu Kit in the last year... Pretty pleased with that effort...(but honestly if something bad happened around the world.. we would probably be dead in 2 weeks or so).... now moving on to some decent food storage... the hard one..
For those interested please read Crazy Lady's Post on what to put in a Pandemic Flu Kit and visit this site for important advice on health pandemics Pandemic Preparedness Planning

World Dance Day
Dancing is like dreaming with your feet! ~Constanze
I'm pooped... how about you?
I have neglected to visit the International Observance days website for a few months!! And I missed out on World Sleep Day in March.. I REALLY wanted to participate in that one!! And world Nosepicking day just passed... dang!!
However... it is WORLD DANCE DAY ON APRIL 29TH and who doesnt like a bit of a dance?
Find International Observance Days Here
Among the goals of the Dance Day are to increase the awareness of the importance of dance among the general public, as well as to persuade governments all over the world to provide a proper place for dance in all systems of education, from primary to higher.
While dance has been an integral part of human culture throughout its history, it is underprioritized by official establishments in the world. In particular, Prof. Alkis Raftis, President of the International Dance Council, in his 2003 Dance Day Message said: "In more than half of the 200 countries in the world, dance does not appear in legal texts (for better or for worse!). There are no funds allocated in the state budget to support this art form. There is no such thing as dance education, private or public."
Get your dancing shoes on people :)
For more serious days check out the UN Observance Days page. International Day of Families is coming up on May 15.. thats another one I want to celebrate.

Cherry Slice
I think I have a new addiction of photographing food.. esp if it is yummy!! I really enjoy trying to get a good photo of delicious treats :)Though it was late afternoon by the time I finished this slice the light was not so kind to me :)
Now I tried to google this recipe for you (as it is from my memory) but it was nowhere to be found. Must be a secret Grandma recipe :) After trying this slice at a church activity like 8 years ago, the woman told me verbally how she made it, and I tried to remember.. so I take no responsibility if yours doesn't turn out :) I saw some bottled cherries on sale this week and it made me crave Cherry Slice :)
Cherry Slice
Make your biscuit base - anyway you like
One of my fav's is
1 1/2 cup plain flour
3/4 cup dessicated coconut
3/4 cup brown sugar
125 g melted butter
combine ingredients and press into slice pan and bake 10 mins until golden
Cherry Topping
Canned or bottled pitted Cherries (juice and all)
1/4 cup Jam (any type - I used plum)(Jelly for you US people)
3 tbs custard powder
1/2 cup sugar (add more if you dont like the cherries tart)
Mix all ingredients in saucepan until thick. Pour mixture over biscuit base. Refridgerate.
Serve with cream or icecream or plain
I was so eager to eat this, that the one in the photo is not quite set. This morning when I ate it for breakfast again it was more jellified and easily cut into slices.

We had a beautiful ANZAC parade at school. Miss K was in the front row of the school choir singing this song below, 2 talks by Army service men, a poem, a prayer, laying of floral wreaths from each class,a bugler playing the Last Post and silence...
Although you're getting on in years
And memories seem to disappear
Some things will never fade away
Some memories will stay
There's one day in each year you will not forget
If this year's your last year - we will not forget
One more parade - one less digger by your side
One year you're marching - the next year you ride
Hold your head up high - hold your head up high
Lest we forget - lest we forget
It seems a long, long time ago
A young man far away from home
Friends made and lost along the way
Some memories will stay
Those who died - those who live, you will not forget
If this year's your last year - we will not forget
One more parade - one less digger by your side
One year you're marching - the next year you ride
Hold your head up high - hold your head up high
Lest we forget - lest we forget
The sound of cannon roaring by
The smoke and fire covered sky
The nights of terror as you pray
Some memories will always stay
At the closing of the day - a grateful nation rise to pray
Some things will never fade away - some memories will stay
Not for one day but always - we will not forget
Your memory for ever - we will not forget
One more parade - one less digger by your side
One year you're marching - the next year you ride
Hold your head up high - hold your head up high
Lest we forget - lest we forget
Lest We Forget

ANZAC Biscuits
Oh How I love being able to be patriotic through food :) So smart of those ladies back in the early 1900's to think of making a biscuit - which ingredients do not spoil easily making them good for naval transportation to loved ones fighting in World War One far away from home. With ANZAC Day coming up on the 25th of April, I made my yearly Biscuit/cookie as tribute.
Get the recipe from here at Taste.com
For my american readers who may have no idea what Anzac Day is go Here. I suppose it is similar to your Memorial Day/Veterns Day.
Chef's assistant who did most of the mixing and pouring
And ALOT of the LICKING
More Anzac posts in the coming days.

Only my kids..
These little Angels would never do that!
We were the only parents who braved taking our children to the saturday morning session of conference at the chapel to watch via satellite.
The little one escaped out of Daddy's watchful eye :) and had her 6 year old sister trying to catch her. Yes oh yes, there might have been two children of mine on the stand climbing over chairs almost on top of the piano, giggling from one, "Come back here" from the other and then The MR trying to lean over 3 rows of chairs to catch them, until finally wrangled and thrown over his shoulder to be escorted off the premises...
all while this talk "Respect and Reverance" in children was playing on the big screen
yes the irony was not lost on the crowd.. there were quite a few giggles from the audience while I sunk lower and lower in to my chair 10 rows back..
whose children are those??
I really don't like being that mother that has to yell at her children in public to "come back" "stay here" "stop that" etc... Honestly if I could hear myself I would cringe :)
It was a rainy rainy day at school pick up. All other children were carefully skirting around the rain under the covered walkways of the school... but not my kids
after begging for her to stop running around in the rain, I gave up on my 2 year old and just let her get soaking wet. Then her 6 year old sister joins her dancing, prancing and twirling in the rain after the bell rings.
ONLY MY CHILDREN.. not another child was out there...
After 5 mins of begging, cajoling, demanding that they get out of the rain I gave up... and when we got to the car I calmly asked "was that fun?" with a resounding YES as a reply.. they stripped off wet clothes and sat in their underwear for the car ride home.
Whose children are those?
What happens when you leave an 8 year old in charge of the bath and they see some detergent near by.
I might have been talking to the neighbour on my front varandah giving the details of her daughter's ALL day stay with us while her mum was at work, not paying any attention to my children :)
A full bath to the top with a metre of foam is fine with one person in it, but it looked like so much fun that the other two HAD to hop in.. which made a tidal wave effect and sent water flooding over the bathroom floor heading onto the wooden lounge room floor... I tried so hard not to be angry and let them enjoy their flood.
I turned a blind eye and let them have their fun... only to find them "BODY SURFING" out of the bath tub, sliding along the bath floor and out onto the wooden floor boards, seeing how far they could get on their naked stomachs
Whose children are those???
Today at Mcdonalds playground there were some older boys (8-10) being tough and mean.. but it didn't take long for the girls to realise they were in larger numbers.. so yes.. my girls may have been seen taking on some boys and throwing a few (soft) punches, pulling off hats and basically holding down these boys
One boy tried to punch (kinda playfully, but still menacingly) my 6 year old.. when her two year old sister pushed the boy from behind!! WHAT THE? Don't mess with my sister buddy.. I am all of 80 cms... I get you... LOL
Whose children are those and where did they learn that?
Maybe I am having these thoughts as I have had a few people ask me lately "HOW are you going to handle FOUR KIDS? (from people that only have one or two children) Obviously they are thinking I can't handle the ones I already got?? LOL

Raining - eggs, chickens, and water
The Easter Monday Breakfast at the dam tradition has been going for 20 years or so... Even in the Rain!!
Turkey and Cranberry Croissants, Breakfast Burrito's (Bacon and Egg), Fruit Salad, Oreo Cheesecake Spread on Crepes, Juice, Chocolate milk and the list goes on.. OH MY!
Lone Bunny at Waters Edge
Fishing with Grandad (items caught: sticks and seaweed)
Apparently it takes 2 to Fish (one to hold the rod, the other to reel it in)
Cousin X was a ninja on the pinata
Pinata goodies flying everywhere
Pleased to say no traumatism from Chicken Pinata! And look at the rain coming!
Easter Egg Hunt Fun
We used plastic eggs for the first time with little treats inside them.. A great idea!! We had about 60 eggs, but much less chocolate than last year.
Checking out the loot :)
And the kids possibly all looked like this by the end :)
Real Chickens for Easter at Grandma's and Grandad's - what a treat!
Angel Chicken (according to the girls)
Just Call me Chicken Girl
She was scared at first, but soon became a pro at holding chickens and getting them back in their home
What a day!

Dead Chick Walking :(
When it comes to Pinata's we generally have an unspoken rule that the pinata is inanimate object. We can hit eggs, stars, balls, christmas trees and the odd dinosaur... but never a living creature... the pacifists in us cringe
(This was bought to home to me at a RS Christmas party where 30 grown women hit and threw around a Santa Pinata - I felt really bad!! It was too primal for me!! and this is from someone who doesn't let her kids believe in santa!!)
So when our to be easter egg shaped pinata took on a life of it's own and changed shape...I discussed with the girls would it be ok for our pinata to be a chicken? They were shocked! We CAN'T HIT A CHICKEN!! Grandma and Grandad will be so angry!! (They have real chickens in their back yard)
So here it is in all it's mangy glory... finished today.. it has one more day of life left until it is beaten out of it and it's glorious lolly/toy/easter egg insides are spilled :( *Sob *Sob I hope no children will be emotionally scarred from the hitting of the pinata on Monday.
Oh please be kind to me
Specially styled Tail feathers and all from the girls

Easter Begins :)
Ye old Candle ring has been updated for Easter and dragged out again starting Easter Thursday - we talked of Jesus doing the first Sacrament with the disciples and then washing their feet and Praying in the Garden of Gethsemane
I honestly think this is one of the BEST traditions we have ever done. The kids LOVE it and ask for it, it makes dinner in the candlelight so nice (though must be vigilant around Pyromaniac kids - inherited from The MR!!) They will talk longer and sit and enjoy more and it makes special holidays and birthdays much more special.
Next morning Easter Baskets lined up
We try to keep the chocolates and gifts AWAY from Easter Sunday - for that day to be more Spiritual. We give them their baskets Easter Friday or Saturday. On Easter Monday we always have a Easter Egg hunt at the Dam with cousins - more than enough treats!!! A Lesson at church on sunday suggested always having a picture of Jesus as part of the gift - I liked that Idea so madly ran to the local christian bookstore to grab some - these were the ONLY ones in the place... sob sob.. makes me miss the LDS bookstore we used to OWN!! We are lucky to have so many beautiful pictures to choose from as LDS!!
6am LINDT chocolate Bunnies always go down well
And why not some satin boiled Lollies too??
I LOVE THESE!! I picked these up from Darrell Lee. They are Bo Peep Satin Boiled Pillow lollies glass jar with a Bunny Sock type thing over them. Each holidays when I stayed with my Grandma as a kid she would buy us these (just the jar - no bunny back then)on a trip to her shops. So I had to get them... sob sob.. childhood memories :)
Obligatory Present shot - lucky I don't have 10 children :)
Hot Cross Buns a must on Easter Friday
I have refrained from eating them (on sale for the last month or so) until today. I split mine, grill them and put on lots of butter. See the ones I MADE Last Year here Yesterday I realised there was NO WAY I would be making Hot cross buns this year, so I just bought some :) For those so inclined I used this Recipe Here
And after all that I need a rest :)
So I ate my hot cross bun and Milo out on the deck alone listening to the rain (Does anyone else notice it NEARLY ALWAYS RAINS on Easter Friday??? mmmmm Interesting... The earth has not forgotten the sadness of what happened today)
And that is the end of our Easter Advent calendar.. I have a few more things we will do, but the weekend will be filled with friends, family (and visiting my grandma in hospital after an operation) General Conference Videos and much more!
Have a Great Easter

I found the Easter Bunny
My girls seem to wake refreshed and ready to create!! Shame I have to push them off to school - they seem to leave me with a big mess most mornings. Afternoons are completely different - they come home ZOMBIES who want to do NOTHING but EAT and WATCH TV!!! And here is their mother all ready with crafty fun stuff to do and they want NOTHING to do with ME!!!
Anyways here is the Bunny oufit Miss K made including big scrunched paper 'tail' tied on with a string around her waist that you can't see. She actually walked to school in this get up, getting a few giggles from the motorists stuck in traffic. At the end of the day she tells me she wore it all day (This girl walks to the beat of a different drummer - I politely asked if she was teased, but said No most kids just chased her around asking for Eggs)

Soft Pretzels
Using the recipe that The Artful Parent used we made soft pretzels yesterday. They were YUM!! We had them for after school snacks and with Lamb Shank Soup for dinner.
We have made this an Easter Tradition over the last couple of years (There is no reason why I can't make them at other times... just too lazy.. and it is Easter again already!!) You can make them because they are just YUM.. or what I like to do is talk to my girls that the shape of pretzels was originally meant to be in the shape of folded arms for prayer. We talked about Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane praying for all our sins.
Roll dough into sausage shape
Boil, sprinkle with salt, Bake and then

Here chick chick chick
After saving this idea from a Handmade Magazine for over a year.. we finally made some of these cute little fella's
Here are the ones the girls made themselves
8 year old
2 year old (he is using his 'angry eyes')
and sadly some ended up like this
Basically these were styrofoam eggs painted yellow with orange paper (should be that craft foam stuff) wings and feet glued on. Add googly eyes (getting some good mileage out of that packet this week)and stick a feather in its head - voila done.
Straight to the mantle for display :)
and the girls are excited as there are some real little chicky's at grandma's waiting for them to visit :)

Before, in and After Hollywood: The Life of Joseph E. Henabery

BeschreibungThe autobiography of Joseph Henabery, the director of some of the biggest Hollywood stars of the 1920s including Douglas Fairbanks, Fatty Arbuckle, and Rudolph Valentino.
PressestimmenIt's an extraordinary feat, one that should be appreciated by students of the movies. Henabery's unpretentious manner is ingratiating and the history he imparts is unequaled. Rapport Too few first-hand accounts of the silent era exist, making this book valuable for insight into early filmmaking. The Silent Film Monthly ...captivating...illustrates a cutthroat motion picture industry...one of many excellent Hollywood memoirs. The Silents Majority ...offers important insights on Griffith, as well as stories about Fairbanks, Valentino, and Fatty Arbuckle. Curio For a book as important as this to surface so many years after its author's death is nothing short of a miracle. Joseph Henabery is a fascinating chronicler of a colourful era-and his analysis of the other books on the subject is worth the cost of this one. -- Kevin Brownlow

Lauren Conrad treated herself to a little something from Herve Leger in LA on Monday — she should take her love of shopping onto Facebook with our addictive new game, PopSugar's Retail Therapy! LC kept her head covered in a hoodie as she recovers from a Summer cold but showed off those legs as she waved to the cameras. Last week Lauren helped say goodbye to The Hills, though in reality she moved on from the show a year ago. Instead, her personal life is pretty low-key since Lauren is going strong with her boyfriend, Kyle Howard, whose TV series My Boys kicked off its fourth season on Sunday.

Thanks for helping!
They will actually tell you, that we can't expect a good ham for that price, because we said that the ham was supper salty. The service was poor. Avila is beautiful place to visit, I would find another restaurant for sure.
This is a good popular restaurant and I think well known by the locals. Popular and good food. Also very well on price/Quality. Good restaurant to go with a group of people.
This menu offers a variety of choices that is sure to please everyone in your party. The atmosphere is pleasing and the staff attentive. Don't miss this venue for a wonderful dinner.
We were a group of 7 for lunch on Avila's most important day of the year. we were made very welcome on a day when all the staff were really stretched. The meal was very good and excellent value for money. It was a truly happy and festive occasion.
Very moderately priced average food. Meat was a little tough but cooked to order. A TV playing in the background our personal pet peeve. Flan with caramel was OK. If you want a reasonable meal in a somewhat noisy atmosphere it is fine. Definitely not a romantic meal nor will it impress.
There is plenty of choice for whatever you're hungry for. English menu. Reasonable prices. Large eating areas both inside and out.
Sat outside in shade but loads of room inside also. Lots of choices on menu. We chose menu Del dia for €13.99. 3 courses, small carafe of wine and a bottle of beer was included in the price. Food was good and would definitely eat there again if I returned to the area.
Lunch for four at this great restaurants. Food was very good. Huge portions. The suckling pig was nice as was the veal steak. Great atmosphere. Our server Mercedes was very friendly and helped towards a pleasant experience.
The food was excellent, we ordered some tapas, very big portions and good taste. The main dish was suckling pig, well-done. We liked it a lot. Was more expensive than in Zaragoza but still a good food. The wine selection is very good. The service was excellent, caring and very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the restaurant.
We ordered T Bone steak as it seems to be a popular choice. What a mistake, so fatty, chewy and tough to cut, they even offered us sharper knives. Defo worst T Bone ever, most was left on the plate,manager said it was normal!! No offer of a drink or anything for our disappointing meal. Also vegetable lacking and crisps...

Nozomi Witherspoon's role as an International Programs Manager involves program implementation, expanding partnerships, establishing regional strategies, and leading the coordination of market and impact assessments in Southeast Asia. She works closely with the Water.org team in country offices to maximize impact on the ground.
Nozomi brings 11+ years of experience in international development specialized in microfinance and small and medium enterprise (SME) development. Prior to joining the Water.org, Nozomi worked at the World Bank leading a number of significant projects with objectives to deepen and strengthen the financial sector in Africa. Topics covered include: housing finance, Islamic finance, agricultural finance, microinsurance, SME finance, and financial inclusion. Nozomi's countries of experience include Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Ghana, and China.
Prior to joining the World Bank, she worked at FINCA Tanzania, based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. She also worked as a Consultant at a think-tank based in Washington D.C and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Nozomi is a Japanese national who grew up in Baghdad, Iraq (3 years) and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (7 years). She holds Bachelor's degree in International Relations from ICU University (Tokyo, Japan) and Master's degree in Sustainable International Development from Brandeis University (Massachusetts, US).
Commitment to Water.org:
In the process of re-prioritizing my life goals, I encountered Water.org. When I learned of the WaterCredit model, it immediately grasped my passion for the following reasons: 1) I am a strong believer of the market driven approach to sustainable international development. 2) It promotes strong community ownership - I trust the power of poor to climb their own economic ladders 3) Having access to water is the most fundamental and critical foundation for all economic activity.
Some values in life that I care about are- intellectual stimulus, making direct impact on the ground, absorbing energy of growing/learning organization or individuals, and contributing in the most effective way to alleviate poverty. Water.org shares these values. I am thrilled to join the team and contribute in this global challenge. Each step may be small, but every day, we are walking farther than yesterday.

Potager Raised Bed Design
A raised bed potager, or kitchen garden, showcases the orderly, formal design these beds can bring to a setting. Simple wood frames constructed from rot-resistant lumber provide years of growing success. Raised beds lend themselves to intensive gardening techniques, such as interplanting, succession planting and square-foot gardening.
Colorful Raised Bed
When raised beds are made from UV-stable polypropylene, they infuse a landscape with bold color year-round. Plastic beds provide long life and don't rot like wood can. Just be sure to choose materials that are UV-stable to prevent rapid breakdown by sun exposure. This design features easy interlocking corners.
Woven Wicker Gives a Rustic English Garden Appearance
There are a variety of materials that can be used to build a raised garden bed, such as woven wicker, giving a rustic English garden appearance.
Stone Beds Last Forever
Stacked stones provide a long-lasting bed edging that doesn't rot despite contact with wet soil. Stones might have a formal arrangement, like this stacked slate raised bed. The stone absorbs heat and radiates it into soil inside the raised bed, allowing you to plant sooner in spring and let crops grow longer in fall.
Informal Stone Raised Bed
An informal stone raised bed design features individual boulders stacked and fitted to create a foundation for productive gardens. This mounded garden illustrates a type of raised bed known as hugelkultur (German for "hill culture"). Plants in hugelkultur raised beds reach mature size more quickly than in traditional planting beds and need very little watering.
Metal Gives a Modern Look
Metal raised beds blend artfully into a modern style landscape. Any metal is long-lasting and carefree, and this product features a steel product known as Zincalume, which lasts four times as long as galvanized steel. This particular design offers the beauty of curved edges that softens the hard look of corrugated metal.
Aim High With Beds
Tall raised beds can make a small yard seem larger by injecting vertical interest. Taller beds take the backache out of ongoing plant maintenance by eliminating the stooping necessary to tend in-ground beds. When designing taller beds, consider adding simple benches that use the raised beds as a backrest.
Grow Up in Raised Beds
Use the frame of a raised bed as a construction platform to host a trellis, and you can stock your garden with climbing flowers or edibles, like snow peas. The frame of a raised bed provides multiple options for attaching accessory items, like a floating row cover, frost blanket or mesh fencing to deter animals.
Take a Seat
Red cedar makes a long-lasting contribution to a raised garden bed. This bed features a handy bench just the right height for perching on bed edges and tending plants in the garden. The bench offers a wide lip that hooks over the edge of the bed, providing stable seating. It's also portable, small enough to pick up and carry to another spot along the raised bed edge.
Big and Beautiful
In areas where in-ground gardening is next-to-impossible, count on raised beds to provide successful growing options. These sunny yellow raised beds host perennials, shrubs and a lavender hedge. The beds also act as walls in this outdoor room, directing traffic flow and providing privacy.
Box Your Garden
Oversized red cedar boxes allow you to create a custom raised bed garden design. Five boxes of varying sizes come as part of a set. Arrange the planter boxes in a design that makes the best use of your growing area, sunlight or yard shape. Long-lasting cedar is rot-resistant, making an ideal material for raised bed planters.
A Bed of Straw
Use straw bales to create a raised bed that's fully compostable. Straw beds bring a host of benefits to the landscape. They're inexpensive and also offer a temporary bed solution. After the garden season ends, straw bales can easily be used as winter mulch or converted into layering material for creating a lasagna garden.
Trolley Garden Bed
Embrace pain-free gardening with a raised bed that's tall enough to eliminate bending while tending. This elevated trolley garden offers an ample 12 square feet of growing area, including a deep enough pocket to host tall crops like tomatoes. Tuck shorter plants like leaf lettuce and radishes along bed edges.
Brick Raised Beds
Consider building permanent raised beds in patio areas or where uneven terrain makes terracing a natural choice. Brick boasts a carefree personality and sounds a formal note in garden design, especially when paired with eye-catching tile. When filling brick planters, maintain soil a couple inches below the top edge to keep it from spilling onto surrounding surfaces.
Wall-Hugger Planter
The wall-hugging qualities of this planter make it a good choice for small space gardens, where every square inch needs to work hard. Tuck the wall vegetable trug along a wall or fence for an instant raised garden bed that's tall enough to eliminate bending when planting or weeding. Plant taller crops toward the flat side of the planter and shorter ones toward the front.
Raised Bed Liner
When the only spot you have for situating a raised bed is on a patio, deck or driveway, keep soil from washing out by installing a liner inside the raised bed frame. This bed liner features a patented double polypropylene fabric that lets water drain while keeping soil in place. It makes a great choice for laying over existing poor soil or grassy areas. The liner also keeps grass from invading the bed.
Raised Bed Watering
Using soaker hoses in raised beds can be tricky. Typically parts of the hose wind up soaking footpaths as they snake throughout beds. A snip-n-drip soaker hose system lets you trim soaker hoses to the correct length for your raised beds. Once hoses are cut, snap fittings into place and turn the water on.

County commissioners were criticized for their recent veto of a proposed tax increase on lodgings located within the special recreation district. Members of the WORD board of directors said the district needed the money to fund $122,800 in law enforcement on the river. "We're either going to get the money or we're going to decrease law enforcement by $27,000," said WORD president Bill Mayo.

ROOM CONNETT/ Herald-Zeitung Spill slips up 1-35 traffic ROBIN CORNETT /Herald-Zertung Texas Department of Transportation work crews dean up spilled hydraulic fluid Thursday on Interstate 35 just south of New Braunfels. A dump truck operated by an Ingram Readymix employee slammed into the barricade on the northbound lanes and jackknifed. The truck then hit the barricade on the left side of the road. The crash closed both southbound lanes as workers moved the barricades to clean up the spilled oil. Ingram Readymix dump truck jackknifes, causes long delays Thursday By Heather Tooo Staff Writer An Ingram Readymix dump truck headed for New Braunfels took a detour Thursday when it jackknifed into a barricade on northbound Interstate 35 and blocked southbound traffic for parts of the afternoon and early evening. A dump truck operated by an Ingram Readymix employee slammed into the righPbarricade about 3:30 pm, then jackknifed and hit the left barricade just south of the Engel Road exit. The impact moved the left barricade into the southbound lane and spilled hydraulic fluid about IOO yards along both southbound lanes. A truck driver headed for Dallas said the driver of the dump truck, who was traveling in the right-hand lane, slammed on its brakes when the car in front of him stopped suddenly. "I was driving behind him and he hit his brakes. The front end hit the right wall and then he jackknifed and went another 20 feet, and the middle of the truck hit the left wall," Dallas resident Roger Cummings said. Cummings said the truck had a "kink" in the middle connecting the driver's compartment with the bed that caused it to hit both walls. "One end of the truck had to go somewhere," he said. Cummings said the truck was traveling 55 to 60 miles per hour. Comal County Sheriff's officers, Department of Public Safety troopers and New Braunfels Fire and Rescue crews were called to the scene. DPS trooper Jim Shea said the accident did not involve other vehicles and no one was injured. The dump truck was not carrying anything at the time of the accident, but hydraulic fluid from the truck spilled when it hit the wall, Shea said. Shea said it was possible a citation might be issued to the driver of the Ingram Readymix truck for a traffic violation. Traffic along northbound 1-35 was narrowed to one lane as Texas Department of Transportation work crews cleaned the fluid and removed pieces of concrete from the roadway. Southbound traffic was detoured to the frontage road at the Engel Road exit and was backed up to Walnut Avenue even an hour after the accident. TxDOT crews brought in sand to spread along the slick southbound lanes. John Hood, engineering technician for TxDOT, expected it would take crews one to two hours to sand the entire area. ROBBI COfWETTAMd-ZMung Louis Gonzales hangs another photograph Thursday morning inside the Comal County Courthouse lobby in preparation for today's 100th anniversary celebration. The festivities are set to begin at 1:20 p.m. outside the courthouse, which was formaity dedicated on Jan. 22,1899 — exactly 100 years ago. Courthouse celebration set for today From staff reports One hundred years ago today, Comal County Courthouse was dedicated officially to the citizens of die county Beginning at 1:20 p.m. today, the county t residents can join in wishing the grand old courthouse a happy 100th birthday. Main Plaza will be closed to traffic from 12:30 pm to 3 pm for the parade. All three of the county^ high school bands will play alongside vintage cars and horse-drawn vehicles. The parade will begin in the IOO block of Casten Street, turn left on West San Antonio Street and travel around the plaza. A German-language choir and barbershop group will provide the songs to complement a reading of the activities at the dedication from Jan. 22, 1899.

A recent study by a district retention committee found CISD teacher salaries were counties. The retention committee was formed in October 1998 to investigate the district's turnover rate and retention of CISD personnel. Information provided by Carol Wemli, director of human resources for CISD, showed the district's entry-level teacher salary for an employee with a bachelor's degree was $23,500. Surrounding school districts have com parably higher salaries for teachers with no experience — New Braunfels ISD, $25,000; North East ISD, $25,700; Noithside ISD, $25,776; Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, $26,109; and Seguin ISD, $24,000. Starting salary for teachers with a master^ degree, but no experience, was $24,000 in CISD. Surrounding school districts also have higher minimum teacher salaries for personnel with master^ degrees — New Braunfels ISD, $25,000; North East ISD, $27,200; Northside ISD, $27,292; Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, $27,359; and Seguin ISD, $24,300. "Employees are looking around at other districts and seeing what's happening," Wemli said. 'Teachers can drive down the road and be in another school district with a much more favorable salary." Wemli also said neighboring school districts offered higher stipends and signingSM SALARIES** ;

CMS To Consider Delays During Severe Weather
by: To contact the reporter, e-mail Updated:CHARLOTTE, N.C.,None - While school districts across the region are watching the weather and making decisions whether to delay school for one hour or two, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools are stuck in an odd predicament.
They can have school or cancel it altogether.
CMS leaders said with more than 10,000 bus stops and buses making triple routes, they're just too big to coordinate a delay.
But that could be changing.
Superintendent Peter Gorman said they're now exploring the option of delayed starts.
He said he's tasked the transportation department with figuring out whether it's possible to delay school.
"One of our other challenges with a late start is how do we feed everyone in that condensed period of time," said Gorman.
Some larger schools in the district serve lunch for three hours so everyone is fed.
CMS took a snow day Monday, which means students will have to be in class Feb.15 as a make-up day.
If they call off school for another snow day, Memorial Day will be used as a make-up day.
After that, any make-up day would dip into spring break.

Having fever and weakness
I am having fever since last few days and my body is very weak I am not even able to stand for 30 seconds I feel like lying down I took paracetamol for few days it work ed but when I stopped I again got fever and I am sleeping all day all night,I always have this mild headache also during this period and I am not in a state to go out and visit a doctor you tell me what should I do

Hello there...I can understand your concern. If the fever is not reducing with paracetamol, then you will need oral antibiotics to reduce the infection which is causing the fever. Also if you are feeling very weak, then it could be due to dehydration, hypogycemia. You will need detailed clinical examination and further investigations. You might need intravenous fluids if there's dehydration. To consult a general physician as soon as possible for further evaluation and treatment.

It can be quick and can be reliable, but in dim lighting it's pretty slow and hunts a lot. You figure out it's quirks and learn to work with it, or just use manual focus.

A couple of years ago, my husband and I were going to plant running bamboo along our back fence. Then we casually mentioned the idea to our next-door neighbor. She looked, well, terrified.
Bamboo is an amazing plant. It's used to make musical instruments, toys, tools, weapons, flooring, paper, food, cooking oil, vinegar, and alcohol. But it's also a bit noxious, at least in these parts.
When we were thinking of growing it, we visited a peaceful bamboo garden on the outskirts of town. The gardener showed us around and explained the difference between the many varieties of bamboo that rustled overhead in the slight breeze.
Then the conversation turned to warfare.
"You'll need to dig a two-foot-deep trench all the way around your bamboo and bury this in it." He held up a roll of thick, black plastic. "This needs to stick up at least three inches above the soil. The bamboo's rhizomes will try to jump it. So leave a foot or so of bare ground all the way around the trench. That way you can see them coming over. When they do, mow them down immediately."
It sounded more like prison-tower watch duty than gardening.
But there's an upside to bamboo's invasive nature. It is not only a useful plant; it's an incredibly renewable resource.
And now you can get a bike made out of it.
Although riding a bike is considerably more environmentally-sound than driving a car, most bike frames are constructed out of materials that are decidedly not renewable. Think: steel, carbon fiber, aluminum, molybdenum, and titanium. Extracting these elements is labor-intensive, environmentally destructive, and can threaten public health.
For instance, I grew up 60 miles down-river of Leadville, Colorado, where the mining industry allowed heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and zinc to leach into the soil and water. The Environmental Protection Agency declared Leadville and the 20 square-miles around the town a Superfund site.
So imagine if we could make strong, light-weight, functional bicycles without mining, not to mention out of plants that grow like weeds. Well, we're getting closer to that reality, although most bamboo bicycles contain some metal components.
You can purchase your own custom-made bamboo bicycle from Calfree Design. They claim that their bikes are tough, and they offer a ten-year warranty on them. They're expensive though. All of the frames that are "on special" on Calfree's website cost well over $1,000. But "if there were an award for 'Bicycle with lowest carbon footprint' (least amount of carbon dioxide emissions in the production of the frame), this frame would win, hands down," Calfree's site boasts.
You can also learn how to build a bamboo bicycle yourself.
Bamboo Bike Studio in Brooklyn offers workshops where you can learn to build one in a weekend. They're also not cheap. The full bike workshop costs $932 and the frame-only workshop costs $632.
But some of the proceeds go to a great cause. The Bamboo Bike Studio is working with partners, including the Bamboo Bike Project, to establish bamboo bicycle factories in "Millennium Cities, starting with Kumasi, Ghana, Kisumu, Kenya, and Quito, Ecuador." They hope the factories will, "provide a lower-cost, more durable, locally manufactured form of transport specifically designed for local terrain." Unfortunately you'll have to wait awhile to attend one of their workshops. They're full through September.
But if you're seriously into do-it-yourself, you could check out this how-to on Instructables. (However, as the disclaimer says, "Death or serious injury can result from a bicycle frame failure. … Be smart.)
Hopefully as more companies start to manufacture bamboo bicycles, the prices will come down, making bamboo bicycles a more accessible option for more people.
Would you ride a bamboo bicycle?

Affiliations: From the Serveis de Cirurgia Torácica, Hospital Universitari, Son Dureta, Palma de Mallorca, Spain,
From the i Pneumología, Hospital Universitari, Son Dureta, Palma de Mallorca, Spain
1997 by the American College of Chest Physicians
Study objectives: To investigate the short-term effects of noninvasive ventilatory support (NIVS) on pulmonary gas exchange, ventilatory pattern, systemic hemodynamics, and pleural air leaks in patients submitted to elective lung resection.
Design: Prospective, randomized, parallel, and controlled investigation.
Setting: Thoracic Surgery Unit, Hospital Universitari Son Dureta, Palma Mallorca, Spain.
Patients: Nineteen patients electively submitted to lung resection because of varied clinical reasons.
Interventions: Medical therapy was standardized for all patients. Ten subjects received NIVS with a nasal ventilatory support system (BiPAP) during 1 h (study group). The remaining nine individuals constituted the control group.
Measurements and results: Arterial blood gases, ventilatory pattern, systemic hemodynamics, and pleural air leaks were measured. Before surgery, there were no significant clinical or functional differences between groups. After surgery, and compared with preoperative measures, PaO2 decreased significantly (p<0.01) and to the same extent both in the study group (85.7±2.8 to 68.0±2.7 mm Hg) and the control group (83.6 ±2.5 to 67.3±2.6 mm Hg). In the study group, NIVS increased PaO2 (to 76.7±3.0 mm Hg; p<0.05) and decreased alveolar to arterial oxygen pressure gradient (P[A-a]O2) (27.2±2.7 to 17.6±2.3 mm Hg; p<0.05). This latter effect was still present 1 h after withdrawing NIVS. By contrast, PaO2 and P(A-a)O2 remained unchanged in the control group throughout the study. PaCO2, the ventilatory pattern, and systemic hemodynamics did not change significantly throughout the study in any group. Importantly, NIVS did not increase dead space to tidal volume ratio or worsen pleural air leaks.
Conclusions: Short-term NIVS with a ventilatory support system improves the efficiency of the lung as a gas exchanger without noticeable nondesired side effects in patients submitted to lung resectional surgery.

Kurt Cobain Comic To Be Released On The 20th Anniversary Of His Death
On April 2nd, the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, Bluewater Productions is releasing Tribute: Kurt Cobain, a comic that tells Kurt's life story.
Truthfully, the few pages I saw were horribly written. The author slaughtered the English language. But, if you're interested in learning more about Kurt and you're good at inferring meanings and you dig books with pictures, you might like it.
"The music genre known as grunge became commercially success."
Alrighty then.
What I Do, Job-wise: So. Much. Other than playing on-air every day (and on DO YOU HATE IT? Sunday nights), you might get an e-mail response from me if you write in asking to know the name of a song or whether we're looking for interns. I'm all over the place, like a ninja, but less stealthy.

Credit NotesI've had fashion shows at the National Constitution Center as well as the Convention Center. I've had trunk shows at boutiques and cocktail parties as well.
I've been able to have Dominique from America's Next Top Model wear my clothing line on television and I've opened up for already established designers but I think it's time for me to do my own thing and expose my craft to those who wish to see.

Derrida famously declared, "Il n'ya pas de hors-texte"—there is no outside of the text—a foundational postulate of postmodernism that points to the intertextuality of all culture, the absence of a transcendental point above the fray from which to observe cultural phenomena, and perhaps above all, the lack of ontology for things outside the manner in which they are represented—that being, the "real," adheres somehow to the order of language, not the order of material objects. Most people who never sat in a graduate seminar think this is nonsense, but I found some support for Derrida's dictum in a remarkable declaration mentioned in this AdPulp post. "Three years ago at Madison and Vine, Coca-Cola's then CEO stood up and told the room his company was not in the business of selling sweet drinks, but was in fact a media company selling brand impressions." That's a pretty astounding statement—Coca Cola doesn't sell soda, they sell the name "Coca-cola"—but it seems inescapable, self-evident, when you think about it. The material world recedes as the nebulous concept of the brand, which exists only as language, becomes primary. The products themselves are effluvia, arbitrary conduits for the brand, in which all value is stored. If we can't consume a product as an idea, as a lifestyle, as a set of prepared, intertextual connotations, we really can't at this point consume it at all. The water pours dowen our throat, but if it's not Evian or Dasani or whatever, we won't even notice it; it's is below the level of consumption and thus sub-real.
