Truthdigger of the Week: Nick Turse
Posted on Jan 19, 2013
By Tracy Bloom
When the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. derided the U.S. government for being "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today" in an anti-war speech he delivered during the Vietnam War, the famed civil rights activist was met with a wave of vocal criticism.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
King had numerous reasons to voice his opposition to the war, including what he called "the more tragic recognition of reality ... that the war was doing far more than devastating the hopes of the poor at home. It was sending their sons and their brothers and their husbands to fight and to die in extraordinarily high proportions relative to the rest of the population."
The speech, delivered at New York City's Riverside Church on April 5, 1967, ultimately became a lightning rod for criticism because it marked King's public announcement of his opposition to the war. Keep in mind, too, that it came ahead of seminal events in the soon-to-be unpopular conflict, including the Tet Offensive and the My Lai Massacre, and also before CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite's public denunciation helped turn the tide of public opinion against the war.
But King, who was assassinated a year after giving his "Declaration of Independence From the War in Vietnam," would later prove to be correct—perhaps even more so than he imagined at the time.

In "Kill Anything That Moves," Turse, for the first time, painted "an accurate overall picture of what physically was occurring on the ground," writes journalist Jonathan Schell.
"Like a tightening net, the web of stories and reports drawn from myriad sources coalesces into a convincing, inescapable portrait of this war—a portrait that, as an American, you do not wish to see; that, having seen, you wish you could forget, but that you should not forget; and that the facts force you to see and remember and take into account when you ask yourself what the United States has done and been in the last half century, and what it still is doing and still is," Schell wrote in his review of the book.
Among Turse's revelations, which he derived from meticulously researching classified documents, Pentagon reports and court-martial records, and through conducting first-person interviews, is that commonly misheld beliefs, such as the My Lai Massacre being an isolated event, are flat-out wrong. According to Turse, horrific events like the one that happened in the village of My Lai—in which hundreds of unarmed Vietnamese women, children and men too old to fight were slaughtered by American forces who were commanded to "kill everything that moves"—weren't aberrations, as has historically been recorded.
"Looking back, it's clear that the real aberration was the unprecedented and unparalleled investigation and exposure of My Lai. No other American atrocity committed during the war—and there were so many—was ever afforded anything approaching the same attention," Turse writes in the book's introduction. "Most, of course, weren't photographed, and many were not documented in any way. The great majority were never known outside the offending unit, and most investigations that did result were closed, quashed, or abandoned."
He continues: "Until the My Lai revelations became front-page news, atrocity stories were routinely disregarded by American journalists or excised by stateside editors."
Turse's meticulously detailed book is the culmination of more than a decade of research, which began in June 2001 while he was a graduate student exploring post-traumatic stress disorder in Vietnam veterans. With the Vietnam War Crimes Working Group—a treasure trove of records that resulted from a secret Pentagon task force about My Lai, and something he stumbled upon by chance during his initial research—as his starting point, Turse was eventually able to locate other little-known or never-revealed documents about Vietnam War crimes. In addition to searching for investigation files at the National Archives, he submitted requests under the Freedom of Information Act, and also interviewed generals, top civilian officials and hundreds of Vietnam veterans all across America.
By piecing together all of this evidence, Turse came to the following conclusion:
In short, this is exactly the war that King was talking about all those decades ago.
For revealing the true depth and scope of the atrocities committed during the war—and for proving, again and definitely, how right King's condemnation of Vietnam was—we honor Nick Turse as our Truthdigger of the Week.

Open letter to Information Week BI In Healthcare article readers
Posted by Boris Evelson on August 28, 2009
- 402 Recommendations
- 3 comments
I am so glad that my Information Week article BI in Healthcare is receiving interest and mostly positive feedback. I believe that this is indeed a very important topic to write about, especially considering how behind the times the industry is, and what a unique opportunity we have right now to get it right. We so strongly believe that this is such a critical IT issue and challenge, that Forrester is even bending its own rules slightly – typically all our research is "role" based, not industry based, as we most often find that challenges and requirements by role are almost always very similar across industries. Healthcare and public sectors seem to be a big exception, and therefore, I and some of my colleagues do plan to publish more Healthcare IT specific research. For example, I am currently in the middle of surveying top 30+ BI vendors specializing in Healthcare against 40+ criteria. Stay tuned to the results of this research. And my colleague, Craig LeClair (http://www.forrester.com/rb/search/results.jsp?N=0+11226), is in the midst of conducting research on EMR best practices.
I also welcome the opportunity to respond to the ANON1250257151313 comments that our research is "vendor sponsored", that we recommend "BI-as-a-fix", and that we are "far from the real world", as follows:
- Forrester Research is an independent research organization that does not do ANY vendor sponsored research. In my personal situation, major BI vendors are always my biggest critics. Just take a look at any of my (http://www.forrester.com/rb/search/results.jsp?N=0+11737) or any other relevant Forrester research and you will find that it's almost always about best practices and actionable advice to our readers – IT practitioners – which very often includes vendor criticism.
- By no means am I recommending "BI-as-a-fix", but BI can be very effectively used as a tool to diagnose the problems, analyze root causes and play an important role in creating comprehensive solutions. You've got to start somewhere, and BI is a perfect starting point.
- Most of Forrester analysts, including myself, spent most of their careers as hands-on-practitioners. Specifically, I was a hands on programmer, team leader, consultant, project manager and consulting practice manager for 25 years before I joined Forrester. Again, please take a look at our research, and you will see that it is not typical "sitting-in-my-ivory-tower-criticizing-everyone" research. It's always very practical and actionable.
I love and welcome this challenge, Mr or Ms ANON1250257151313, so please write to email@example.com and let's keep the dialog going! I also welcome all of the other IW readers to email me directly with any Healthcare BI research requests.
Healthcare use case
Comment from Mark Montgomery (not verified) on Tue, 06/08/2010 - 08:59
I just found this -- sorry. You might be interested in our use case scenario on health care -- I selected a diabetes case to demonstrate the impact of enterprise semantics, with some specific focus on Kyield, although it's largely focused on generic improvements, direction, and recent regulatory issues.
Response has been excellent-- but still amazed at the culture in health care relative to organizational IT systems. Even with enormous psychological incentives for improving lives, generous financial incentives in stimulus, and reform regulation that will require adoption, it will still be very heavy lifting I fear across most of the ecosystem. .02-- MM

Comment from Brian (not verified) on Mon, 08/31/2009 - 12:13
Well, I've not worked in healthcare for 25 years, only about half that much time. Nevertheless I have formed some opinions on the matter.I think you've made a number of correct assertions. What is remarkable to me is just how many healthcare applications that are based upon antiquated technology--really, profoundly out of date. Some are good, but the core HIS systems seem to have survived like dinosaurs in the modern age; things out of time and place.Why has this happened? What allows these systems to survive and even thrive?My theory is that clinical systems are driven by clinical people and clinical needs. This would seem to be entirely right and appropriate. All the best practices, including those outside healthcare, say this is the way things ought to be.Unfortunately most clinical people do not have strong Information Technology backgrounds. They often do not understand that IT has moved forward and the world has changed. Therefore, when they sacrifice fundamental systems characteristics on the altar of clinical functionality, they do so not understanding the long-term tradeoffs involved. Even if they say they do!This is important. IT in most industries now assumes that openness and interconnectedness are part of the deal. It's a given. In healthcare, it's treated as, "well, we don't have an interface, and there's no way to do it yourself, but there's a consultant who's good and does that kind of work. Let me get you that contact information...".In short, the HIS vendors have successfully sold the idea that the technology doesn't matter. This is an appealing argument to clinicians, who often aren't interested in the technology anyways. And yet I'm still stuck with an unanswered question. Why has this NOT worked in every other industry besides healthcare?

Comment from Connie Moore on Thu, 09/03/2009 - 21:37
Brian, I agree with your comment. Most IT systems I've encountered in medical environments are extremely antiquated. Further, IT seems like a technical backwater compared with the medical practitioners' interest in the latest medical diagnostic equipment, CAT scanners and so forth. I don't know why this IT malaise has happened in the medical industry, but it certainly has been my firsthand experience.Further, as an individual who has been seeing multiple doctors and specialists over the past 3 years, I've found that sharing medical records is close to impossible. If you do get drs to share medical records, it's through some archaic fax system or photocopies that you personally have to hand carry to the other physicians. I admit it: I have the same test done over and over again because it's just too darn hard to get one lab test sent to a bunch of doctors at the same time. I don't understand why this is the case, but it certainly is the state of affairs in the medical world. The good news is that there is huge upside from a benefits/ROI point of view once the medical industry sees the light and decides to go for automation in a big and modern way.

Mercedes could consider pulling out of Formula 1 over the bribery scandal involving sport's boss Bernie Ecclestone.
Currently caught in a rift over 'secret' tyre testing with Pirelli, the German manufacturer's parent company, Daimler, considered the involvement of the 82-year-olds's part in the bribery allegations as inappropriate.
A clause in the carmaker's F1 contract can allow Mercedes to walk away from the sport should it deem its activities inapt.
"We can pull out of the sport and we would use the appropriate clauses if necessary," Christine Hohmann-Dennhardt, who is responsible for Daimler's integrity and legal affairs, was quoted saying by DPA.
Last year, Mercedes threatened to quit F1 over the terms offered in the new Concorde Agreement, a confidential arrangement between F1 management, teams and other stakeholders which outlines the commercial terms under which they participate, which is yet to be signed.

Niagara Falls Transit and The Niagara Parks Commission have placed an order valued at $18 million for a mix of clean-diesel 40-foot Nova LFS and 62-foot articulated LFX buses.
After their latest positive experience in 2009, Niagara Falls Transit has decided to once again turn to Nova Bus to increase their fleet of 40-foot buses and produce their first BRT vehicles. The Niagara Parks Commission (NPC), meanwhile, has worked with Niagara Falls Transit and The City of Niagara Falls on the establishment of an enhanced Visitor Transportation System for the Park and City that will result in the purchase of new clean-diesel vehicles to replace NPC's aging and inaccessible Peoplemover buses.
"We are proud to continue to partner with Niagara Falls Transit, and we look forward to building just as strong a relationship with The Niagara Parks Commission as they look to enhance service within the Parks, particularly with a new BRT offering," said Gilles Dion, president and CEO of Nova Bus.
Niagara Falls Transit General Manager, Dave Stuart stated "Staff at both organizations are impressed with the contemporary design of Nova buses. We feel the interior amenities are attractive and well thought out for customers requiring greater levels of accessibility. With respect to engineering, our maintenance personnel are impressed with their robust design and low operating costs and our bus operators truly enjoy driving them. They have been a great addition to our fleet as we further enhance the service Niagara Falls Transit provides to our residents and the many visitors we provide transportation to throughout our bustling community."
According to NPC Interim Chair Janice Thomson, "Improving and upgrading our existing Peoplemover system with this new fleet of buses will improve the overall guest experience of Niagara Parks. The transportation services we have provided over the past 26-years have been a tremendous success; however our fleet had come to show its age, was not accessible and did not connect fully with properties outside of the Park. These new buses and our partnership with the community will alleviate these concerns. NPC's drivers and maintenance staff share our excitement at the opportunities to maximize customer service, made possible by these upgrades to our transportation fleet."
By combining their procurement, both authorities will benefit from Nova Bus' common platform for the 40-foot Nova LFS and the 62-foot articulated LFX buses. High commonality translates into effective maintenance, streamlined training and simplified parts management, providing quality performance and productivity.

Certificate of Completion in Post-Secondary Teaching
Why coursework in Post-Secondary Teaching?
Professors in all programs are teachers, yet few receive any preparation to become effective teachers. Over the past few decades the interdisciplinary research in the Science of Learning has amplified our understanding of teaching and learning.
"Research about learning has yielded useful insights about teaching that graduate students need to know. Much has now been discovered about cognition, motivation, and the relative effectiveness of different methods of instruction," (Derek Bok, former president of Harvard University in Chronicle of Higher Education, Nov. 11, 2013). He argues there is a skills/strategies gap in conventional doctoral preparation that universities must address: "We must prepare Ph.D. students for the complex art of teaching."
The Department of Learning and Instruction at the UB Graduate School of Education has developed coursework in Post-Secondary Teaching that is appropriate for anyone who plans to teach or is teaching in post-secondary education. The course of study consists of 4 courses in total with a Teaching Practicum as capstone (2 credits) for a total of 14 credit hours. After successful completion of these courses, you will receive a certificate of completion from the Department of Learning and Instruction.
Courses focus on four areas: effective instruction, assessment/evaluation, technology integration and learning tools. Available coursework also includes a teaching practicum that allows for analysis and reflection on successful teaching in the classroom.
The Effective Instruction course is the preferred first course in the sequence: Students can begin with LAI 693 Teaching College Students or LAI 698 Instructional Strategies for College Students.
Overview of Courses
Students have the option of choosing one course from each of the following topics:
- LAI 693: Teaching College Students
- LAI 698: Instructional Strategies for College Students
- LAI 547: Assessment of Student Performance & Understanding
- LAI 654: Measurement & Evaluation of Learning
- LAI 678: Digital Media in Education
- LAI 525: Science and Technology
- LAI 514: Improving Content-area Writing in College
- LAI 545: Teaching Problem Solving & Posing in the UG Classroom
- LAI 695: Practicum in Teaching
*Video representations of each student's teaching will be a major means of analysis and reflection on teaching. It will thereby be possible to take the Practicum online.
Course Descriptions
LAI 514: Improving Content Area Writing in College
This course begins with an overview of theory and research in cognitive strategies and sociocognitive views of reading, writing, speaking and listening processes. It then describes an approach to the teaching of reading and writing called strategic literacy instruction. The focus throughout is on discovering ways to help struggling readers and writers.
LAI 532: Technology and Science
This course provides a hands-on approach to using technology in teaching science. An emphasis is placed on labs, demonstrations, field trips, and simulations. Technology includes computer programs and simulations, the Internet, probes, and calculators, etc.
LAI 545: Teaching Problem Posing & Problem Solving in the Classroom
To solve problems, we must first understand them, using our conceptual categories and creating appropriate problem representations. Then, we choose the appropriate general strategies, followed by suitable tactics. If these are not sufficient, we use more creative approaches. To monitor and evaluate our progress, we use our individual and group metacognition. Lastly, we examine how specific strategies develop over time and how general problem solving abilities develop across the years.
LAI 547: Assessment of Student Performance & Understanding
Evaluating students (assessment) has several benefits: identifying student achievement (summative), informing future teaching (formative) and modeling good content and educational practices. We will examine several forms of assessment: tasks, whole class interactions, tests, group work, student self-assessment, and alternative assessments. Tasks include warm-up problems to activate related ideas for learning, in-class problems to develop student knowledge, and homework to consolidate their understanding. Whole class interactions provide immediate ways to assess students' thinking processes as they express themselves through question-answer dialogues, presentations and class discussions. Meanwhile, traditional quizzes and exams provide general, more consistent means to assess all students' understanding. Group assessments evaluate student collaborations as they solve more complex tasks to yield formative assessment of students' immediate learning capacities. In addition to assessing classmates during group assessments, students learn to gauge their understanding through self-assessments. Meanwhile, alternative assessments (writing, projects, and portfolios) yield complementary information about students' abilities. Lastly, we examine statistical validity and bias in greater detail and apply them to standardized tests that influence educational policy and classroom teaching. This course aims to provides students with ways to assess students to help them learn more.
LAI 654: Measurement and Evaluation of Learning
This course provides an overview of basic principles of measurement and evaluation related to learning. Emphasis will be on assessment of student learning outcomes. Students will develop an understanding of such key concepts as validity, reliability and absence of bias in measurement; students will also develop competence in the following areas of measurement and evaluation related to learning:
- Choosing assessment methods appropriate for instructional decisions;
- Developing assessment methods appropriate for instructional decisions;
- Administering, scoring, and interpreting the results of both externally produced and teacher-produced assessment methods;
- Using assessment results when making decisions about individual students, planning teaching, developing curriculum, and school improvement;
- Developing valid grading procedures that use student assessments;
- Communicating assessment results to students, parents, other lay audiences, and other educators.
LAI 678: Digital Media in Education
This course will help educators use a variety of digital media tools for designing, implementing, and assessing effective learning environments. The purpose of this course is to assist teachers at all levels in their understanding of differences in instruction in the nature and function of multimedia authoring tools meant to engage students in the process of co-constructing knowledge. Authoring and editing skills as well as some programming and design principles will be discussed and practiced through hands-on experiences to develop proficiency with the tools and skills needed for authoring and publishing digital media in a variety of formats.
LAI 693: Teaching College Students
This course focuses on how college students learn best and what the best college teachers do to support learning across the curriculum. Essential issues include engagement and motivation, learning goals and strategies, creating learning-centered environments, understanding learning processes, integrating technologies, designing active learning tasks, integrating learning activities and authentic assessments. This teaching practice course is grounded in the most recent theory and research.
LAI 695: Practicum in University Teaching
Video representations of each student's teaching will be a major means of analysis and reflection on teaching. It will thereby be possible to take the Practicum online.
LAI 698: Instructional Strategies for Teaching College Students
Learn contemporary teaching practices and instructional strategies, including those that support constructivist approaches to student learning and assessment. The instructional practices are theoretically and empirically grounded. Special modules include teaching culturally diverse students and integration of digital technology as a learning tool. This course introduces students to current professional instructional practices and assists students in interpreting them within their areas of teaching.

Ben Vodden was found unconscious by his father, Paul, with shoelaces wrapped round his neck and tied to his bunk bed on 12 December last year.
His mother, Caroline, said the bullying began on Ben's second day at Tanbridge House School in Horsham, West Sussex.
Deputy West Sussex coroner David Skipp recorded an open verdict.
The inquest was told the bus driver, Brian McCullogh, was responsible for some of the name-calling.
Mrs Vodden recalled that the bullying started when her son had his tie taken from him on the bus.
She said the school had rung her on the day Ben died to say he had been taken off the bus because he had been hitting the air vent and making a gesture at the driver.
When she confronted him he became angry and defensive and refused to tell her what happened.
He then went to his room, where she heard him sobbing like she had never heard him crying before.
A short while later, his father returned to the family home in Southwater, near Horsham, and found Ben hanging in his bedroom.
Mrs Vodden told the inquest that Ben had previously confided the explicit nature of the name-calling to his father, who called the company, C and L Coaches in Lancing, but no-one was available to speak to him.
When he alerted Ben's school the following day, Mr Vodden was told to speak to West Sussex County Council, while the school said it would deal with the bus firm.
But Mr McCullogh denied the allegations and no further action was taken because it was the driver's word against Ben's, the inquest heard.
Giving evidence, Mr McCullogh, a former security officer, described Ben as lively and boisterous but said he considered them to have a very good relationship.
He admitted calling Ben some of the names alleged but claimed it was a "banter" they shared.
'Life cut short'
In a statement after the hearing, Mr and Mrs Vodden said their son would not be dead if he had not been bullied.
Mr and Mrs Vodden also called for adult supervision on school buses to guard against bullying and act as a reliable witness.
"The victim was made to feel as bad as the perpetrators, and that can't be right," they said.
The coroner said it was a tragedy a life of such potential was cut short.
"Ben's story highlights the vulnerability of some young people to outside influence and our responsibility as adults to treat these youngsters with consideration and respect," he said.
In a joint statement, West Sussex County Council and Tanbridge House School said steps were taken at the time to address the "occasional difficulties" Ben had had on the school bus.

More than 20 USC Swimmers set to complete, many seeded in top 20.
THIS SEASON: A two-time Polish Olympian, 2016 senior Kasia Wilk is a strong sprint freestyler who has shown great individual scoring ability while lending a strong hand on relays. She's an eight-time All-American on relays and has scored twice individually at the NCAA Championships.

Welcome to Calamities of Nature, a comic that focuses on topics of social commentary, science, religion, philosophy, and lots of bacon. If you're new here, checking out the best of Calamities of Nature is a great place to start.
Calamities of Nature has been online since July 2007. Since that time, it's been viewed by millions of people and won a number of accolades, including being a finalist for the best webcomic of 2010 by the Washington Post, finalist in the 2008 Webcomic Idol contest finalist (a comic version of the American Idol show) and a finalist in the 2008 Weblog Awards (the world's largest blog competition, with over a million votes cast) alongside such famous comics as Dilbert and xkcd. Calamities of Nature has also been featured on a number of prominent blogs, including Pharyngula, Cosmic Variance, and Bad Astronomy (which was named one of Time Magazine's top 25 blogs of 2009).
He is the cynic of the group. Aaron the Mole finds enjoyment from disparaging religion, people with PhDs, Mensa, newspapers, Starbucks, and well, just about everything.
No one knows what he is, where he came from, or where he's going. All they know is that he's a pretty strange guy. Alp enjoys creating new inventions, such as his thinking cap, slurpee bong, and remote control locator These inventions often work, but rarely are very useful. And who can forget the time his duplicator created an army of Aarons and Ferds!
He has never been accused of lacking enthusiasm. Ferdinand the Groundhog, or Ferd as he's often called, has a tendency to be a little overzealous about things. For example, there was the time when Ferd invented the reverse beard, or decided he was going to get a tan the hard way. Ferd and Alp are also passionate about bacon, which is curious given the recent swine flu outbreak.
He's proof that nice guys do indeed finish last. Harold the Hamster has always been a loyal friend, which he usually gets is stuck in the middle of Ferdinand or Alp's hair-brained schemes. Like the time he took his friends advice on spending his tax rebate. Aaron often provides him with helpful advice for life's troubles, although these can often be hard for him to hear.
Is it possible that there is a normal one among this crazy group? Raymond the Raccoon joined the Calamities cast when he was looking for somewhere to stay, and he's been regretting it ever since. In the meantime, he enjoys painting and living out in nature. He has plenty of interesting knowledge to share, it just tends to get wasted on this group.

Looks Good To Me – Source Code Review Tools
July 30th, 2008 | Published in Google Code
Code reviews are the rule at Google -- peer review reduces bugs, increases code quality, reduces maintenance cost, opens up team communication, and helps get the job done right the first time.
Like many open source developers, Google engineers used to rely on mail and textual diffs when doing code reviews. That made code reviews a drag. Mondrian, a web based code review tool, made the process much more efficient by presenting the diffs and comments right in our browser. Mondrian inspired the open source project Review Board, and led to Rietveld, and now the new code review tools are available on Google Code's Project Hosting.
Reviewing code in your project is simple: browse any source file or diff, double click on a source line to add comments, then publish your comments along with a general comment and score for the revision.
You can see code reviews in action on the code.google.com support project. So why are you still reading this? Learn how to use code reviews and don't forget to let us know what you think.

In Getting Touchy About Patents on the official jQuery blog, the relationship between Apple and W3C's efforts to standardise touch events is discussed. At the end of the aritcle, there are several calls to action, some of which DailyJS readers can help with:
We would also encourage the community to experiment with Touch and MSPointer. Play with the APIs, build apps, and provide feedback.
If you know of any prior art for multi-touch/touch lists, even outside of the Web, please get in touch with the W3C.
The distinctions between pointer events and touch events are also explored. This comment in particular is interesting:
It's conceivable that in a few years developers could use Pointer Events as the only event model for pointers, leaving Mouse Events as a thing of the past.
Standalone Deferred (License: MIT) by Otto Vehviläinen is a standalone implementation of jQuery.Deferred. The
Deferred object is a chainable API based on the CommonJS Promises/A specification.
The project is distributed with Jasmine tests, and features the expected methods including
resolve, and
reject. The author has rewritten the library using CoffeeScript, so it's not a quick and dirty extraction from jQuery's code.

Title says it all When I create my themes I usually stop using photoshop quite early and do most of the stuff directly within the browser.
Since a lot of my customers who purchased my "Enfold" Theme would like to see more and better PSD files with the theme I need someone who is able to create PSD files based on my WordPress Theme.Requirements are simple:
- You should be able to create a 1:1 copy with all the small details, based on the WordPress Theme.
- I want to provide most of the demo content as PSD files, so we would probably end up with about 30 PSD files
- Would be nice: If you already have a approved PSD here on themeforest
If you are interested send me what you would quote for the project through my themeforest profile page
Email is sent!
Wow massive opportunity!
Cool !
I'll do it for free if you'll be my friend.

Kriesi, there's a software for that.
It's not 100% perfect, the text layers still need to be added manually, since it converts them into non editable layers.
What's super useful in your case is that it names and groups the layers based on the actual HTML structure.

Salt and Snow
Ring! Ring! sang my cell phone.
"Yeah?" I answered.
"You want to hit the library?" my friend Andrea asked.
I glanced up at the clock and then at the pile of homework on my desk. With finals lurking around the corner, I desperately needed a chance to study, and I couldn't focus in my college apartment.
"Yeah, let's go," I said, gathering my books. I bundled myself in several layers before braving the frigid air and wading through four inches of fresh snow to Andrea's car.
We set off for the library, grumbling about our mountains of homework. Just thinking about the next week made me nervous.
As we passed an intersection, I noticed an elderly woman shoveling snow from her sidewalks.
"Look at that!" I exclaimed. "Why is that little old lady shoveling snow all by herself?"
"We should turn around and help her," Andrea suggested. Moments later, we pulled into her driveway.
"Can we help you with that?" Andrea asked, reaching for the shovel.
"Oh, no, I'm all right, but thank you," she said in surprise.
"No, really," I insisted. "At least let us finish for you. You must be freezing."
She hesitated, but then gratefully consented to let us salt down the sidewalks.
We collected the salt and chatted with her as we sprinkled the sidewalks. The salt melted away the ice almost as quickly as our disgruntled moods.
After we finished, we went inside to meet her husband, who was unable to shovel the snow because he was recovering from surgery. We enjoyed some eggnog, admired family photos, and told her about our families. Then out of the blue she stopped and smiled at us.
"I'm so glad you stopped by," she confided. "It's just so good to visit."
We stayed with her for about an hour, then hugged her good-bye and continued our trek to the library.
"I don't think she really needed someone to salt her sidewalks," Andrea said as we drove away.
"No," I said. "She needed a friend."
As I glanced at my pile of books, I realized I had needed her, too. The stress I'd felt just an hour before was nearly gone, replaced by blissful relief. I had been so focused on my tests that I couldn't see how others struggled with bigger problems like loneliness, growing older, and even shoveling snow. I will always be grateful for that reminder to watch for opportunities to serve.
Scripture Study on the Bus
When I went on an overnight field trip with my school, I decided I would still have scripture study. I even invited three friends to join me. One was a member of the Church, but my other two friends were Baptist and had never read the Book of Mormon.
Although we had our scripture study in the back of a moving bus, I could feel the Spirit. Each of us picked out a few verses to share with the group. I chose many from the Bible but also some from the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants.
After we finished, my friends asked to look at the Book of Mormon. I showed them the Articles of Faith as well and told them about Joseph Smith. I also took the time to look at their Bibles, which were a different version from the one we use.
I feel so blessed to know that we have both the Book of Mormon and the Bible. And I can't wait for the day when I will be able to share them both as a full-time missionary.
Unto the Least
I was determined to have a bad attitude as my mom picked my brother and me up from school and drove us downtown. It was Christmastime, and I was supposed to be shopping with my friends. Instead, I was headed to a homeless shelter in our city to help fulfill an assignment that our stake had been given to clean the shelter and serve food to the people there.
When we arrived, my mood darkened as I was assigned to clean out the industrial-size refrigerator, which had recently been left open and now had all sorts of mold growing inside. I rolled my eyes and sighed in disgust at the green mess before me. With rubber gloves up to my elbows, I started scrubbing halfheartedly.
As I worked, a small boy in worn clothes stepped out of the food line to watch my progress. He stood at the door and simply smiled at me. And then without a word, he walked away. I was touched as I watched him go, and a scripture came to my mind: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matthew 25:40).
"How well would I clean if I were doing this for Christ?" I thought to myself. "How hard would I work for Him?"
A smile spread across my face, and I turned back to my task. And with new perspective, I scrubbed the fridge until it shined.
A Blessing Away from Home
During my freshman year of college, I had an amazing experience with the priesthood. I was having the worst day possible—I had heard some bad news about a few friends from home and was waiting to hear more of the details. I was stressed with school and with life in general. I needed comfort.
One of the girls in my dorm suggested that I ask for a priesthood blessing. I hadn't even thought of it because all my life my dad had been the one to give me blessings. I asked one of my good friends if he would give me a blessing, which he and another young man from my ward did. Afterward, I felt calm and peaceful. Things started to fall into place.
This experience helped me to see that the priesthood is the same wherever you go, and its power can help us no matter where we are.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico: "We Are Not Freaking Out About Swine Flu"
We get a lot of press releases here at the Miami New Times, some are very helpful, most are boring, and a rare, rare few are worthy of blog posting, like this one from the Mexico Tourism Board, whose offices are in South Miami.
The subject line of the email reads: "NO SWINE FLU IN PUERTO VALLARTA" and contains just the link to the YouTube video below, titled "Swine Flu in Mexico." If you don't have time to watch it, I'll sum it up for you:
"In Puerto Vallarta, all the tourists are white, rich, speak English, and have done a ton of research on swine flu, like peer-reviewed, appearing soon in the New England Journal of Medicine-level research, just so that they could come down to Puerto Vallarta, relinquish all responsibility and get drunk as fuck on sweet, swine flu-less Tequila! Even the Dolphins have done research on swine flu, and look how they swim without masks on! Fireworks are exploding! Do you think we'd be shooting off fucking fireworks if there was swine flu in the air?!"
All your stereotypical assumptions -- except for that one about our country being overrun with swine flu -- are still intact, OK? So now everyone can just cool out...COOL OUT!

Citibank checking account members who use the branch in Bayside are still frustrated over an ongoing scam that has robbed them of thousands of dollars.
Four account members who use the bank branch at 39-01 Bell Blvd. have alerted TimesLedger Newspapers in the last two weeks that they discovered that someone had been using their accounts to make huge purchases of gas from a Shell gas station on 185-25 N. Conduit Ave.
One victim, who asked not to have her name disclosed, said she lost $90 a day from May 13 to May 28 and was eventually charged $5,000 in overdraft fees when her account was depleted.
"I never use my card except to cash my check," Victim No. 1 said.
The victim said the last purchase took place at an Amoco gas station in Brooklyn.
A spokesman for Citibank said the financial institution's fraud division has been looking into the scheme, but so far has not determined who is behind it or how the person or people involved got access to the accounts.
"We want our customers to know that, consistent with legal requirements, we do not hold them responsible for fraudulent activity in their accounts," Luis Rosero, Citibank vice president of public affairs, said in an e-mailed statement.
A spokeswoman for Shell said the gasoline marketed investigated the situation after TimesLedger brought it to the company's attention and "found no evidence of fraud at this specific site." The spokeswoman added that the station has a security feature called "Zip In, Zip Out" that requires card users to put in the zip code on the card's billing address for verification purposes.
The manager of the Springfield Gardens gas station where almost all of the purchases took place did not return calls for comment.
Another victim told TimesLedger two weeks ago that a Citibank representative at the Bell Boulevard branch informed her that at least five other checking account users also had gas purchases made at the Shell station. The second victim, who also asked not to be named, said she thinks the scam may be an inside job since account holders have to use their debit cards in the small machines at teller windows to cash checks.
"You have to insert your card and they ask for your pin number," Victim No. 2 said. "Someone there must be stealing the information."
Anyone who thinks they are a victim of this scam or has any information is urged to call Citibank at 1-800-647-5344.

For the last seven years… give or take a month or two… I've been writing a weekly column for the cork based Evening Echo, one of Ireland's leading regional newspapers.
Last week I got a call from John Dolan, the Echo's features editor, to inform me that after a New Year review of their operations they'd decided to stop a number of long running columns from external contributors… mine included.
Given the plight of regional newspapers as they battle dwindling ad revenue and struggle to compete with ever more attractive and increasingly measurable online marketing options, this was hardly a surprise… but it was a bit sad.
If I'm honest it was something of a bitter-sweet moment for me. The column has been a part of my life for so long now that not having to write it every week will be strange… and of course there's the fact that it leaves a hole in the monthly finances that I'll have to plug, but I'd been feeling for some time that the column had run it's course.
It was getting harder to sustain the momentum. When you've been writing on the same subject (a father's perspective on parenting) for nearly seven years it can be difficult to break new ground… and while a good writer will always manage to keep things fresh for the reader, the process of writing becomes a bit stale. You stop enjoying it as much, it requires more effort and becomes less rewarding.
So, onwards and upwards to bigger and brighter things, I guess.
Now… anyone out there fancy paying me to write a weekly online marketing / social media column, or perhaps something on Ireland's Wildlife.
Go on… make me an offer :-).
My very last column will run in the WOW! supplement of tomorrow's Evening Echo (Wed 03/02/2010)… and will be posted here shortly thereafter.

BMW History. Did you know?
I actually found this on eBayMotors.com for a '73 3.0CS:
In the late 1950s, BMW found itself at the brink of financial collapse. The reason was a large disparity in model lineups, with no moneymakers. To most, the Type 503, 507 and big cars were too expensive with limited sales potential, and the small Isetta and its 600 derivative did not sell in sufficient numbers to make up for the financial loss of the larger cars. Additionally, BMW motorcycle sales were declining. In 1960, Dr. Robert Pertuss, Technical Affairs board member for BMW, instructed Frtiz Fiedler to contact Nuccio Bertone about styling and production of a new body for BMW. BMW and Bertone signed an agreement to produce a styling exercise, and the resulting automobile the 3200 CS was unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1961. Although unknown at the time, the 3200 CS would serve as the styling model for Grand Touring Coupes BMW would produce beginning in the mid-Sixties. Apart from the front end, the Bertone Coupe was tastefully executed with slim A and C pillars and a low beltline.
In 1965, BMW unveiled the first of its "New Class" 2.0 Liter models, the 2000C/CS coupes. With the exception of the blunt nose, much of the styling was derived from the Bertone 3200 CS. The 2000C with a single-carburetor version of the 4 cylinder 2-liter powerplant, was offered with either a 3-speed automatic or four-speed manual transmission. The 2000 CS had twin Solex carburetors and was only produced with a 4-speed. The body was built by Karmann of Osnabruck. In 1966, Road & Track tested a 2000 CS and stated that the car had "a short greenhouse for the proper sporting look". They went on to say that "while the car looks, feels and is sporty, it also happens to have fairly generous seating for four people. There are simply no other cars within $500 of the price." According to R & T, that despite being underpowered, the chassis earned high praise, "To say simply that the suspension is effective would be an understatement. On the worst surfaces, with potholes dips, and bumps, it's downright uncanny, for there doesn't seem to be an irregularity that can trip it up, even at twice the speed we'd dare go in a domestic sedan. Combined with the impressive ride is equally impressive roadholding. It's difficult to break loose a tire anywhere either in corning or in acceleration. Put the ride, handling and steering characteristics together and you have the impression of a rather heavy, substantial vehicle though not oppressively so. For the person who values finish detailing, finesse and integrity over pretense, excesses and sure obsolescence. It may not have as much performance as we like, but the rewards are worth the sacrifice." From 1965 through 1969, the 2000 C/CS sold relatively well, with 11,720 units produced.
BMW eventually addressed the lack of power and what was described by some as the blunt unattractive nose. In 1965 BMW decided to proceed with the production of a new 6-cylinder engine in the 2.5-3.0 Iiter range, and form the basis for a new group of luxury models to compete with larger class Mercedes Benz. The new six seemed like a natural for the Karmann-bodied coupes. To accommodate the new engine, designer Wilhelm Hofmeister extended the wheelbase to 103.3 inches, all ahead of the A pillar, and added a longer, more attractive front to accommodate the longer engine. The previous "pug" nose was replaced with an elegant ensemble bearing a family resemblance with recently introduced large sedans. The new model, designated the 2800 CS, was introduced at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 1968. Road & Track reviewed the new car and said: "the 2800 CS has a crisp and aggressive appearance. It looks right". R & T went on to say the new BMW awed and made covetous every member of the staff and everyone else who rode in it. It impressed us as a car that simply conquered all road conditions with polished authority, a car as much for enthusiastic hard driving as for sedate, comfortable cruising." The new 2788cc engine had a 9.0: 1 compression ratio and had dual two-barrel downdraft Zenith carburetors. The 2.8 units developed 170 bhp at 6000 rpm, with a peak torque of 174 Ibs/ft at 3700 rpm. BMW produced only 9400 examples of the 2800 CS through April 1971, and just 1167 were officially exported to the United States.
The new six-cylinder engine had been designed for increases in displacement, and the 3.0-liter version was introduced in April 1971. In late 1971 the 2800 CS was phased out in favor of the corresponding 3.0 CS and 3.0 CSi coupes. With increased displacement came associated increases in power. The 3.0-liter version (2986cc) was offered in either twin-carbureated form with 9.0:1 compression and 180 bhp (DIN) at 6000 rpm, or with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection with a slightly higher 9.5:1 compression, producing 200 bhp at 5500 rpm. The carbureated motor was placed in the CS and designated the 3.0 CS, while the injected European only version was designated the 3.0 CSi. In addition to the increased displacement, the rear drum brakes of the 2800 CS were replaced with disc brakes, and a new four-speed Getrag gearbox was added. A new Borg-Warner automatic replaced the ZF automatic. With these changes, the BMW coupe firmly established its place among the world's best grand tourers. Worldwide production totaled 5017 for the 1971-75 3.0 CS, 5071 for the 71-75 CS Automatic, and 8142 for the 71-75 3.0 CSi.
In 1971, BMW chairman Eberhard Von Kuenheim decided the company should commit itself to racing. Von Kuenheim appointed Sales Director Robert A. Lutz to head the new division. Lutz's first step was to form a separate competition group, BMW Motorsport GmbH. In order to be competitive, BMW produced the 3.0 CSL in 1971. Introduced as a homologation special to be produced in sufficient numbers to qualify for international endurance racing, the L stood for leicht (light). Aluminum replaced steel in the hood, doors and trunk, plexiglass and thinner thickness windshields were used, sound deadening material was eliminated, and when combined with lighter gauge steel used elsewhere, the curb weight of the CSL dropped more than 300 pounds over the production CS.
Initially powered by the twin carbureated 2986cc six, constant improvements to boost horsepower and performance were introduced. In 1972 Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection was added. Displacement increased through increased stroke to 3153cc resulting in 206 bhp at 5600 rpm. Other developmental changes included the addition of a large front spoiler, airfoils on the front fenders, a rear-edge roof spoiler, tail fins and a large horizontal spoiler on the trunk and another small lip spoiler on the trunk Factory racing CSL's had even more exotic machinery: 3.5 liter engines combined with 4 valve-per-cylinder heads, extremely high compression ratios and wild cam shaft profiles yielded power outputs in excess of 430 bhp. Homologation street CSL production was evenly split between left and right hand versions. Total CSL production figures were 1096, which included full-blown Motorsport racing versions. In addition to the racing cars, one of the most highly sought-after of the Coupes is the CSL Batmobile, a late production version fitted with the appropriate spoilers. The 3.0 CSL was truly BMW's "Ultimate Driving Machine" of the 1970's.
In 1973 when OPEC cut world oil supplies, Germany imposed strict speed limits. In response, BMW fitted the 2.5 Liter engine from the sedan into the CS body, resulting in the European-only 2.5 CS. Other concessions in the 150 bhp Coupe included steel wheels, fixed rear quarter windows, and unassisted steering. A total of 844 2.5 CS Coupes were built in 1974-1975.
Production for the Karmann-bodied coupes ended in 1975. The coupes, as they have affectionately become known, are timeless in design. Recently selected as one of BMW's ten best automotive designs of all time by the BMW Car Club of America magazine Roundel, the 2800 - 3.0 CS, CSi and CSL has become one of the most highly cherished and sought after automobiles by BMW affectionatos. As summed up in BMW, Bavaria's Driving Machine, "along with the new sedans, these are the cars that announced BMW's return to the luxury market in no uncertain terms: smooth and spirited, beautifully engineered, solidly built, and blessed with what can only be called 'soul,' unusual for machines of such elegance and refinement. And in the end, that's what makes these cars special, their artful compromise of seemingly incompatible qualities: high performance with good fuel economy, restrained style with surprising practicality, German sturdiness with Italian brio. You can't ask much more than that from any car at any price."
History channel had an hour long program on BMW from cradle to present not long ago, it covered everything about, and was a very interesting program.

I thought the "New Class" started with the 1500 and moved into the 2002 and into the modern 3 series.

Cuisine of Swaziland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article needs additional or better citations for verification. (August 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The cuisine of Swaziland is largely determined by the seasons and the geographical region. Staple foods in Swaziland include sorghum and maize,[1] often served with goat meat, a very popular livestock there.[2] The farming industry mainly depends on sugar cane, tobacco, rice, corn, peanuts, and the exportation of goat meat and beef. Many Swazis are subsistence farmers who supplement their diet with food bought from markets.
Freshwater produce and imports from coastal nations are also part of the cuisine of Swaziland .[3] Some local markets have food stalls with traditional Swazi meat stew, maize meal and seasonal roasted corn on the cob.[3]
Traditional foods[edit]
- Sishwala
- Thick porridge normally served with meat or vegetables
- Incwancwa
- Sour porridge made of fermented cornmeal
- Sitfubi
- Fresh milk cooked and mixed with cornmeal
- Siphuphe setindlubu
- Thick porridge made of mashed ground nuts
- Emasi etinkhobe temmbila
- Ground corn mixed with sour milk
- Emasi emabele
- Ground sorghum mixed with sour milk
- Sidvudvu
- Porridge made of pumpkin mixed with cornmeal
- Umncweba
- Dried uncooked meat (biltong)
- Siphuphe semabhontjisi
- Thick porridge made of mashed beans
- Tinkhobe
- Boiled whole maize
- Umbidvo wetintsanga
- Cooked pumpkin tops (leaves) mixed with ground nuts
- Emahewu
- meal drink made from fermented thin porridge
- Umcombotsi
- Traditional brewed beer in Siswati is called 'Tjwala'

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Q: Who is an independent contractor, or an employee? (If you're an owner-operator, see WHO CAN CLAIM IOWA BENEFITS.)
A: It depends.(This might hurt less if you think along the lines of Jeff Foxworthy's "you might be a redneck if..." http://www.countryhumor.com/redneck/mightbe.htm. [Yes, I've been tempted to do #300.])
You might be an independent contractor if:
You look like you have your own business, have phone book ad, signs, on your shed, barn, garage..., or have cards, a company, employees, truck (With your name & number on it, especially, if it says what you do!), tools, supplies, materials...you get the idea.
You set your price, or at least haggle for it.
It's by the job, so it doesn't pay to work slow.
You signed a piece of paper that looks like a contract.
You have your own pieces of paper that look like a contract.
They only say what is supposed to be done.
You figure out how.
You do this kind of work for others.
You tell your own employees, if you have any, what to do, and how.
You can fire them, if you have them, and if they don't.
You pay them out of that price you got.
You could have employees.
You control the progress of the job, and how it's done.
You could control, even if you don't bother.
You only get to work until the job is done.
You do whatever it is you do, for someone who isn't in the business of doing whatever it is you're doing.
You have no supervisor.
Only others get benefits.
You are on your own when you get sick, go to the doctor, retire, get hurt, take vacation, figure out what you owe IRS...
You think you are.
Others believe you are.
You don't want to be.
You tell anyone you are.
The Agency says you are.
The Courts agree.*
*Note, no one factor controls, except the last one. (top)
On the other hand, you might be an employee if:
The guy who hired you has most of this stuff. (See, 1 above.)
He tells you how much you're going to get per hour, day, week, month, year, or whatever.
It pays to work slow, so long as you don't get fired.
Your piece of paper looks like an employment contract.
You didn't bring your own piece of paper that looks like a contract with you.
They tell you what's supposed to be done when, and where to do it.
They tell you how, too.
When you get home, you're too tired to do this for anyone else.
Other employees tell you what to do and how.
They can get you fired if you don't.
You don't get enough to pay anyone else, at least until you get home.
You have your dog. (See, 12 above.)
The line speed controls the progress of the job, and how many mistakes you make.
You can't control anything.
You get to work until you can't, or they send you home.
This is their business, not yours. Especially, if they have other employees doing it too.
You have a supervisor.
You might get some benefits.
You have sick days, you pay only part of your doctor's bill, you (maybe) get a pension when you retire, you may get work comp if you have an injury connected with your work, you get vacation days, time & a half for overtime, IRS gets theirs up front...
You think you are. (But, see above.)
Others believe you are.
You want to be.
The right people tell you, you are.
The Agency says you are.
The Courts agree.*
*Note, again, no one factor controls, except the last one.
It boils down to one old legal concept, "master or servant." Which are you?
And, one word, "control." Who has it? (top)
Q: Why should anyone care?
A: Independent contractors don't get Workers' Compensation, even if they are hurt on the job. Unless, they have bought their own workers' compensation insurance, and not opted out to save money. See, WHO CAN CLAIM IOWA BENEFITS. (top)
Do not guess, if you have questions regarding which you, or the person doing your work, may be, you should consult an attorney. Remember, this is one question there will be two sides to.
Independent contractor Employment law for businesses Business contracts Small business taxes Business insurance Types of personal injuries Work-related personal injuries Business Employment Employment law and finances Workers' compensation Employee wages Employee wages and overtime pay Employment forms Employment contracts Employment as an independent contractor Construction law Tax law Employee contract for businesses

StickyNote 9 Review
Throughout the day, hand-written reminders pile up on my desk and in my pocket. All too often, I misplace a phone number before getting a chance to enter it into my Outlook contacts, or one ends up going through the wash -- never to be recovered.
Luckily, I recently discovered a solution to my paper management problem when I came across a program called StickyNote for Windows.
What is StickyNote?
StickyNote creates beautiful 3D virtual reminders on Windows desktop, making it easy to keep track of important notes and reminders. In addition to stationing notes on the desktop, StickyNote also allows you to 'Note-ify' friends and colleagues over your network or the Internet. The notes pop up right on your friend's desktop, just as looks like on your PC!
What other features does StickyNote have?
- Attach 3D notes to the Windows desktop or to documents: general purpose notes are attached to the desktop. Notes are optionally associated with an open program, displaying the StickyNote when the application is the top window on the screen. Attach relevant files to a note, so finding documents and information is simple.
- Synchronize Contact Information: this feature requires the recipient to also use StickyNote, allowing the user to send a reminder note or other important details to contacts. Contact information can be synchronized with Outlook, Outlook Express, or PDA devices so that you'll never have to enter contact information in more than 1 place!
- Save screen space by consolidating notes: just like sticking paper notes on a real desk, the Windows desktop gets cluttered by too many StickyNote memos. To avoid clutter, StickyNote organizes all notes into a list and tucks them off to the side of the screen for easy access.
- Customize the appearance of notes by topic: by changing color, texture, and priority, it's easy to distinguish between a lunch appointment, a business meeting, or a visit to the doctor. StickyNote provides several predefined categories, which may be further customized to fit the needs of a specific user. Adjusting the transparency level of individual notes keeps stacked notes readable.
- Set alarms based on notes to avoid missing deadlines: if the information on a StickyNote is time sensitive, configure an alarm to warn of an impending due date.
StickyNote: See it in action!
You can take a virtual tour of StickyNote through the Tenebril web site here (the link opens a new browser Window).
StickyNote is proving to be a lifesaver for me. Instead of digging through piles of paper on my desk, I'm finally able to find my notes before they end up in the dryer's lint trap (I'm still working on how to avoid sending receipts through the wash)!
I also like the fact that I can import my electronic notes into my Outlook Calendar and Contacts List without the need to re-type the information. And, although I won't be using StickyNote to send messages to my colleagues (they all use Mac computers), the program has great potential for improving intra-office communication.
StickyNote: Download
StickyNote is an excellent bargain at only $19.95, and can be downloaded immediately after purchase using the link below. And don't forget: portions of the sales of StickyNote goes directly toward maintaining the cost of the Infopackets web site!

Lindsay and Mitch's Wedding
"If I would have rated Bridal Debut after purchasing my dress, they would have had 5 stars (more if I could)! But, there was a huge fiasco with one of their seamstresses and my dress. If you are having alterations done there, I would HIGHLY recommend Gracinda or Sheen."
Andrea and Aaron 's Wedding
"Had great service every time I was in, dress came in WAY earlier than quoted and the pricing was fair. Only lost points because they recommended me to get a bigger size since I was between sizes, I went with the smaller one and still had my dress altered down 1.5 sizes. Alterations are WAY overpriced, had a professional seamstress do all my alterations from her home for 1/3 of the price (she works at a popular Edmonton bridal salon)and she custom made my veil and rented the hoop. DO NOT get alterations done where you buy your dress unless you are made of money."

The Victoria Music Hall, 625 Argyle Street, Anderston Cross, Glasgow
Later - The Tivoli Variety Theatre / The Gaiety Theatre / The Glasgow Concert Hall
The (Royal) Victoria, seating some 3,000, had opened by December 1873 as a variety hall, and that month staged a pantomime, Aladdin. Lessees came and went, including Sutherland & Miller of the Royal Albert Music Hall, Bridgeton who signed a ten-year lease in December 1879, but did not stay the course.
It functioned in the late 1880s
under George Testo followed by T. L. McLymont (who ran two music halls),
and others thereafter - The Scenes have been Painted by the eminent
Artist, Mr Glover, late of the Theatre Royal.
In the 1890s the Victoria closed
as a music hall and passed into
the hands of the Salvation Army, with the flies and drop scene continuing
in place.

W. F. Frame helped the new partnership and in 1904 the Tivoli was substantially rebuilt, changing its name to the Glasgow Gaiety. The reopening gala was attended by Lord Provost Sir John Ure-Primrose and city magistrates. This Gaiety Theatre should not be confused with the Gaiety Theatre in Sauchiehall Street.

In 1909 it became a cine-variety house and after remodeling in 1935 a full time cinema.
By 1960 the cinema had closed but after the disastrous fire which destroyed the city`s St Andrews Halls, the Corporation of Glasgow took it over and adapted it as a temporary replacement for concerts, known as Glasgow Concert Hall, until its final closure in 1968.

Sometimes inspiration can strike from the most unexpected places and lead towards a series of truly fantastical results. For pre-fall 2013, Giovanna Randall was deeply influenced by the image of that last summer burst, more specifically the point where two seasons collide, as the sun still shines in the sky and the leaves float around the pool. Honor's lineup was gently touched by those same nostalgic notes.
An iconic William Eggleston picture capturing an elderly woman enjoying a cigarette on a broken-down lounge completed Randall's unique vision, as the designer instantly fell in love with the used print and infused her collection with a modern take on the floral and leaves motifs. It was Honor's signature silhouette that read femininity most, in a full spectrum of lively colors that ranged from bold oranges, to citrus yellows.
The innovative fabrics treated with silicon translated into flawless structure and had a particular shine that pushed the party frocks to an entirely different level of chicness. Intricate cut-outs, cropped silhouettes, flirty shorts and bow detailed dresses are in charge of making the transition between seasons as effortless and light as possible.
