In the game of chess, the queen is considered the most powerful and often the most unpredictable piece. She embodies tradition whilst simultaneously redefining rules established by a patriarchal system. This intriguing dichotomy is the inspiration behind A Queen Within: Adorned Archetypes, Fashion and Chess.
Produced by an international team of thought-leaders, curators, artists, fashion insiders, and chess players, the exhibition explores the various archetypes of the queen, as well as how storytelling and symbols capture the imagination of innovative fashion designers.
Extremely rare pieces from one of the world's largest private collections of Alexander McQueen's work join garments by Gianfranco Ferré, Gucci, Hussein Chalayan, Iris van Herpen, Jean Paul Gaultier, Maison Martin Margiela, Viktor & Rolf and approximately 25 other European and Asian designers known for their daring, remarkable work. They range from established names to students still working in some of the most prestigious design schools in the world such as Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Central Saint Martins and Royal College of Arts in London.
A Queen Within investigates which archetypes can be seen to form the idea of a queen, or metaphorically a woman. The exhibition explores nine sides of a queen: The Sage, Mother Figure, Magician, Enchantress, Explorer, Ruler, Mother Earth, Heroine and Thespian.
The themes are based upon interpretations of some of Carl Jung's most familiar archetypes. The story of each persona – its powers, its weaknesses, its significance, its sacrifice – is told through symbols, examples of fashion, photography, film and artwork.
"We have designed the exhibition itself to be a 3,200 square foot piece of art that viewers can experience on many different levels. They'll be able to look closely for hidden symbols, stand back to appreciate the overall effect of enveloping visuals and reflect on each theme"
– Sofia Hedman, curator
To parallel the history of chess itself, symbols have been taken from royal representations existing in the fifteenth century onwards. In royal paintings, such as the Rainbow Portrait of Elizabeth I (c. 1600-1602), symbols including eyes, ears, serpents and wings were used to emphasise the queen's presence. These same symbols, and many more, appear in the exhibition design as specially made sculptures.
Designer Serge Martynov, artist/wood carver Orlando Campbell and artist Karolina Kling were commissioned to contribute with the artwork and sculptures. The master of coiffure Charlie Le Mindu created bespoke wigs for the show.
After discovering Hieronymus Bosch's Haywain triptych panel painting (1480-1500) on one of the Alexander McQueen dresses from the private collection, Flemish painters such as Bosch and Pieter Bruegel became the inspiration for the exhibition design and prosthetics.

Archetypes of the Queen
The Sage
The Sage Queen is a thinker, planner, risk-taker, expert, and philosopher. Highly educated and extremely wise, she has profound knowledge. Her strengths are wisdom, intelligence, and self-reflection, which she uses in lengthy processes of analysing and trying to understand the world. Her biggest fears are being ignored or tricked by others and of feeling deluded. Her weakness is being consumed by the everlasting study of details without ever moving in a direction. Her ability to see both sides of an issue can lead to an inability to act.
The Mother Figure
The Matriarch Queen is an altruist, parent, carer, protector, great teacher, and mentor. She comforts and gives support to those confused and in need of guidance. Her strengths are patience and consideration for fellow women, men, and children. She provides love to help others flourish. Her greatest fears are the ungratefulness of others, disharmony, and her own selfishness. Her main weakness is that she can easily become a martyr and make others feel guilt.
The Enchantress
The Enchantress and Temptress Queen is a seductress, femme fatale, sensualist, and enthusiast. Her strengths are passion, wit, and spiritual and bodily appeal. She demonstrates appreciation, but is also capable of manipulation. She is happiest when she mesmerises all those around her. Her greatest fear is being a lonely wallflower, undesirable and unloved. Her weakness is an undervaluation of wisdom and her constant desire to have psychological power over men.
The Magician
The Magician Queen is the visionary artist, the ethereal catalyst or inventor, the charismatic leader who can make the seemingly impossible reality. Her strengths are spirituality, intuitiveness, creative energy, imagination, and resolving problems. Her biggest weaknesses are manipulating others and perfectionism, as well as expectations of praise and reward for her work.
The Explorer
The Explorer Queen is an individualist, seeker, adventurer, pilgrim, and rebel. Her strengths are determination and independence. The rebel is needed for growth and progression in a society. She accepts challenges and has the power to reject authority in order to continue being authentic and free. Her greatest fears are conventionality, inner emptiness, and boredom. She has a tendency to habitually blame others for inconveniences, but also drift aimlessly and fall in love with the enfant terrible.
The Ruler
The Ruler Queen is the leader queen, a role model. She aims to create a prosperous and successful family or community. Her strengths are control, authority, and accountability. Her greatest fears are chaos, being dethroned, and being alone. If the Ruler Queen is threatened or unsettled in an untrustworthy environment, she may become emotionally unstable, arrogant, and defensive, making her impossible and prone to irrational demands.
The Heroine
The adventurous Heroine Queen is a soldier, warrior, and saviour. She has a strong sense of morality and is always in need of a battle to fight. Her strengths are competence, a willingness to embrace challenges, and bravery. Her greatest fears are weakness, softness, and cowardliness. She enjoys working hard for her relationships. She is addicted to the thrill of the chase, challenges, and relationships that lead to conflict.
The Mother Earth
The Mother Earth Queen is the mystic, creative, powerful life-giving force. Her strengths are primitive strength, instinct, and stability. Her greatest fear is not being able to reproduce.
The Thespian
Blessed with imagination, the Thespian Queen is an actress, entertainer, dramatist, or comedian. She loves to amuse others and enjoys the rituals and drama of life. She is keenly aware of the archetypal power contained in the masks of comedy and tragedy. Her great fear is to be constricted by routine and the inability to entertain herself and others. She would tend to dismiss the practical and mundane aspects of life. She could be overly emotional and at the extreme, even hysterical in her reactions to events or obstacles.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
lots of place pitty swimming pool was not well maintained
The panoramic views, the quietness of the place and the readiness of the staff to help. The cleaning of the rooms on alternate days
kinndness and location
The Sicilian Dinner evening was very enjoyable and extremely good value. Signs are not easily visible in the dark.
Plus: nice view, the dinner experience (no questions asked: 9 antipasti served + primo + secondo + dolce + limocello + wine + water, great value!). Minus: no air conditioning in hotel room, lots of mosquitoes...
Location, furnishings and service None
location room equipment an furniture
The landscape is beautiful, nice sea view very cold rooms ...heating system was working...15min a day. Room was dirty and things inside not in a goog shape.
sea view, orange and lemon trees in the garden, little comfort in the rooms, heating sistem not working during the night and disapointing breakfast (but still not the worst we had)
It's a great location, very nice owner and staff, the best food, nice rooms
This family run hotel was extremely comfortable, there weren't many guests but the staff paid us every attention and we were able to relax. I would reccommend the hotel to others and would like to return in warmer weather. There were a few small points that could be improved in the room eg. provide hairdryer, kettle and larger mirror.
Very little, the hotel is incomplete and the website deceptive. One receptionist was helpful, in variance with the other staff, but that about sums up the positive aspects. The hotel is shabby, incomplete and surrounded by other unfinished sites. On arrival only one of the 3 advertised restaurants were open and full board was a fixed menu of extremely poor standard. When a vegetarian option was sought for my fiancee, a plate of cheese (no biscuit obviously) was offered. Asked if the chef could do better, we were informed that there was no chef - the main food that was being served to the remainder of the customers was therefore being warmed up by waiters.
Very nice design, comfortable beds, great sea views! Food pricey.
Very frendly staff. Good breakfast. Very nice view. I have not negative thinks about this hotel. Notes:It is new hotel without adress and if you have plan to come to this hotel by car then you need additional map (the map indicated in booking.com is wrong)
i liked everyyhing only brekfast was poor ,becouse was out of season only us and other two rooms was ocupied, anyway nice hotel and view,staff exelent
very nice and comfortable room, the staff at the pool bar was great (especially Beata).If you want to disconnect from reality, than you definitely choose this hotel without a car, you are dead..Very "up"on the hill, but verz nice view
Everything new,amazing panorama,free internet,nice swimming pool(i did not enjoy it because of the weather),good value for money
Brand new hotel opened just 29 May 2009.Perfect quaity linen and comfortable king size bed makes sleeping very convinient.Room size OK,but not 30-35 sq.M. As it was stated at Booking.com . all rooms are sea wiew as the hotel located on the top of the mountain. No reason to pay extra for "sea view".Safe box and wire Internet are free of charge. No minibar in the room. Some buildings are still under construction.Breakfast is poor . Coffee and tea are very low quality.The restaurant staff not speaking English at all...No spoon available at breakfast time and I was forced to eat corm flakes by tea spoon.The location not convinient as the hotel not at the beach , but at the top of mountain , so hired car is more than requested .The shuttle bus (8 persons capacityonly ) running not regular and not enough for such size of the hotel.No bed linen was changed within 7 days of staying what is more than strange for 4 stars hotel.
Excellent rest! Very nice place! Comfortable and calm, modern design and very friendly staff! All was excellent.
Very helpful owners, beautiful setting in a very quite valley, good food at the restaurant and exceptionally clean. At the price, this place is very hard to fault.
The staff at the hotel were really very friendly and extremely helpful We were not expecting the restaurant to be closed for the majority of our stay. Having said that there was no lack of restaurants nearby.
Great for an outdoors location, it feels like youre in the mountains although only a few km from center of small town. Liked it. Nothing
The owners were very friendly, the location was fantastic as were the facilities. Nothing to complain!
The hotel was easy to find, the town was pretty and the owners' son David,very helpful.Lovely terrace and free internet.Everything in walking distance including a couple of very good restaurants. We found parking very easily.
David was very helpful and hospitable. The hotel itself has a wonderful old style living room, big kitchen and terrace. The internet is free. Our room as well as bathroom was very spacious and comfy. It's really a nice place!
we were only staying 3 nights but we had such a lovely time time we stayed another 3 nights. we were made feel very welcome. The beach and train station is only a couple minute walk, but it is still very peaceful for a great nights sleep. we woke up to a great breakfast, and lovely people, recommend for any traveler. we will defiantly be back!!
Hotel is situated in very quiet village Gioiosa Marea - almost no turists there.
Great space as a kitchena nd dining area and living room with TV available for all guests. The host, David was very relaxed and helpful. Free internet as long as you want. Great price and ideal location for travelling around NOrthern Sicily. Parking spaces are a chanllenge, but no cost when you can find it.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Antica Tindari. The family run agriturismo provides a personalised service which is also very professional.Good food, large comfortable rooms and lovely, tranquil surroundings.
The ambiance and gracious support by the owners was magnificent! The accommodations as well as the setting was about as beautiful as you could imagine! Tucked into the hills around the city of Patti, there were breathtaking views of the vineyard, olive groves, herb gardens, vegetable gardens and the sea from our large balcony. The cuisine was superb! There is nothing we did not like about Antica Tindari! Everything was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
This was a unique opportunity for our group of four to visit a Sicilian hillside winemaking operation. Owner operator is extremely accomodating with her time in showing and explaing to her guests the grape growing and wine making operation. While there are only four rooms, all new and of significant size and with a great view over miles of country side, adding this hotel to your vacation plans will provide you with favourable memories. The hotel offers great food along with their own 6 superb wines. The owner is a knowledgeable and classy lady and as we arrived by train she graciously picked us up and drove us back. nothing we did not like.
Friendly atmosphere, friendly people, excellent food and drink, very nice views from both terrace and restaurant
lovely hotel, nice surroundings, great staff , food excellent.
The setting was fantastic. The host was brilliant - she spoke perfect english and was so passionate about the vineyard and food. She gave us an indepth tour of the vineyard and cellar. We had dinner on the terrace and it was the most amazing four course meal, matched with their great wine. Staying at Antica Tindari was the highlight of our trip to Sicily.
Quite, warm atmosphere, you are treated as a family number, lovely rooms with big balconies, fantastic view, great food! The landlady is a very special person. tricky country road
The hostess and the food were both excellent. The staff really make you feel at home. The size and location made for a very peacefull stay. Nothing.
Really nice B&B up in the hills, not far from the coast and from the Tyndaris Greek & Roman ruins. The accommodation is in the middle of a vineyard, with fantastic views over the hills and down to a glimpse of the sea. The food is amazing, the wine's great and the staff are wonderful. One tip I'd have - I didn't have a car and it'd probably be handy to have one to get down to the beach and have a look around the area. If you like walking, it's not too hard to get around though, apart from a long walk back up the hill.
A very nice and helpful family lives in a beautiful quiet comfortable farm, with their own wine, vegetables, herbes... It was a wounderful experience for us!!! Thank you!!! no, everything was perfect!!!
Beautiful view and very secluded and relaxing. Very friendly staff. Very difficult to find, impossible to go to without a car.
Food (breakfast and dinner) was excellent and dinner was very reasonably priced. Staff were helpful and friendly. Great views of the coast, especially at night. Road up to hotel is good. Not too steep or winding. Air conditioning or fans needed in rooms.
Amazing panoramic view, very good food, family atmosphere and nice people. The best place for couples and families.
Great view of patti. Prices were reasonable and if you are looking for a cheap price I would recommend it. The food was fair. It's a 2 star facility. Many steps everywhere. All rooms are out buildings. We enjoyed our stay but it's not for everyone. My 30yr old son and his wife loved it. If you don't like steps or a rustic atmosphere stay someplace else. It's on top a hill about 5 min. Drive to town.
Outstandinglyt beautiful hotel and location, wonderful food, pleasant helpful people. Best lodging experience we had in Italy (among many good ones).
the location is really nice and romantic, beautiful view to the sea from the mountain. we arrived in the late evening and they open extra for us the kitchen and served us delicious local food. the stuff was really friendly. the relationship quality and price was very good.
Nice hotel, absolutely rural life, nice people managing it, is like your granfather´s house Well... is not a hotel, is a rural house... We arrived late in the night and were offered some food (antipasti). We felt there like guests in a house, but the next day they charged us €15 per person by the dinner (we would have left 25 tip for the nice behaviour they had) and was a bit embarrassing. But is a nice hotel. A bit hard to find it (somewhere in the mountain) but a recommended place
A very unique experience in the Sicilian conutryside. Authentic food, very relaxing, beautiful views of the country and the Medditerean sea.
As one member of our party kept saying "this is as close to Eden as is possible on earth." We didn't want to leave and wished we had booked a longer stay. The employees were warm and welcoming and went out of their way to help make us comfortable. I will be back! No

By John Boyle Herald Columnist
SEATTLE — Michael Morse is hardly fond of his first memory of Safeco Field.
"I pinch hit for Brett Boone," said Morse, who was back at Safeco on Staurday as part of Mariners' Fan Fest. "It didn't go well. It was like four or five pitches, slider down and a way, I struck out. I walked back in the dugout and Boonie told me, 'I could have done that.'"
Yet eight years later, Morse couldn't be happier to be back in the place where he began his big league career with a strikeout. When Morse found out earlier this month that the Washington Nationals had traded him to Seattle, his home for part of four seasons from 2005 to 2008, Morse was excited about a second chance with the Mariners.
"This is where I started out, this is where it all started for me," Morse said. "There's ties here, I love this city, the fans are amazing. … I feel like this is a great opportunity to help the team be a championship ball club."
Morse comes back a much different player, not just because he's older (he'll turn 31 in March) and bigger (he currently weighs 245 pounds, 30 more than he did when he last played here), but also because, in Washington, he finally got a chance to see what he could do as an every-day player. Morse was limited by a back injury last season, missing the first two months of the season, but in 2011 he appeared in 146 games, hitting .303 with 31 home runs.
"I didn't have a position," Morse said of his previous go-around in Seattle. "I didn't let that bother me. I left here, I found a spot, got to play every day and I think I made a little name for myself. Now, I get to come back and show the city, show the team that I'm here to help the team win."
This time around, Morse will get every opportunity to be an every day player. The Mariners, a team that has had a desperate need for power bats in recent years, will find ways to get him in the lineup, whether it's playing in left field, serving as a designated hitter or getting spot duty at first and third base,
"We thought it was important to bring someone in our lineup who could hit 30 home runs," general manager Jack Zduriencik said of the three-team trade that brought Morse to Seattle, sent the Mariners' John Jaso to Oakland and three A's prospects to Washington.
Now, is there any guarantee that Morse will rediscover that 2011 form? Hardly. But for a franchise that has struggled to score runs for so long, the trade is one that comes with more upside than risk.
Yes, Jaso was, in a limited role, the Mariners' best hitter last season. But limited role is the key phrase there. You can argue all you want that Jaso could be better than Morse over 150 games, but Jaso wasn't going to play 150 games this year. Jesus Montero is this team's primary catcher, and last year's first-round pick Mike Zunino doesn't seem long for the minor leagues.
"John Jaso, great teammate, good player, (but) he was going to be a part-time player," Zduriencik said. "The fact we had Zunino around the corner I think helped our thought process in trying to make that move."
Morse, on the other hand, has the power to be a middle-of-the-lineup difference-maker. If he is anything close to his 2011 self, the trade will look brilliant. If Morse doesn't work out, the Mariners are loaded with outfield/first-base/DH-types who could step into that role.
And let's face it, the success or failures of Morse (or Jaso, were he still here) isn't going to determine if the Mariners have an eighth losing season in 10 years.
Back when the Mariners added Jason Bay, and when Josh Hamilton was still a free agent, Mariners manager Eric Wedge made it clear that his team's fate is tied not to who is added in the offseason, but how the team's young nucleus develops this season. Morse could hit 40 home runs this season, but if players like Jesus Montero, Dustin Ackley, Justin Smoak and Kyle Seager don't take steps forward, it probably won't matter.
"The greatest impact we can have on our organization is the collective whole of our core group here," Wedge said in December. "… If you talk about your core group of guys, whether it be your position players, your starting pitchers or your bullpen, that's the greatest impact you're going to have on your club as you move forward."
The hope is that Morse, like veteran additions Raul Ibanez and Kendrys Morales, can help those young players develop. Morse knows what it's like to wait his turn for opportunities. He's gone through ups and downs, losing seasons and playoff ones. When Morse first came up with the Mariners, he learned from Ibanez; now he hopes to do for young players what Ibanez did for him eight years ago.
"We have a lot to give," Morse said of himself and Seattle's other offseason acquisitions. "I think we can help these guys and push them in the right direction, because the talent's here."

VINELAND — Staying on top of trends is a vital part of business at Blackwater Sports Center, a fishing and hunting shop that gets its name from the nearby Blackwater Creek, a tributary of the Maurice River.
"The economy, the weather, what people want — things change in the archery and fishing industry every six months, and if you don't evolve with the trends and the industry, you'll get left behind in a heartbeat," said Jeffrey Shaw Jr., who co-owns the business with his father, Jeffrey Shaw Sr.
"Like with the car industry, all the bow companies are releasing their 2013 bows right now. So we have to stay on top of the bow lines," he said.
This small hunting and tackle store on North Delsea Drive has deep roots in the area, starting nearly 60 years ago when it was a bait-and-tackle shop.
Shaw Sr., a former office manager for a construction company, bought the business in 1992.
To set the store apart from chain retailers, it carries niche items such as hard-to-find freshwater fishing baits used by tournament fishers, he said. Blackwater Sports has been building up archery in the past decade, carrying major lines of bows and crossbows.
The business carries some functional clothing items, including several popular boot brands.
"We don't have enough floor space to do clothing justice, so we made a choice not to compete with the marts on stuff like that," he said.
And then there's the "meat-and-potatoes," as Shaw calls it. "Live bait."
"My best customers are the guys who come in here everyday and spend 5 and 6 bucks on some night crawlers and a bag of hooks. They buy al little bit of tackle and live bait and go fishing everyday," he said.
The business has gone through a few lean years brought about by the economy, particularly in Cumberland County, which has the highest unemployment rate in the state.
"The last few years have been tough because of the economy, because it is a blue-collar town. So it has been a little tough because of that. … You weather it out. You trim your expenses and make some adjustments and you stock what people want," he said.
The sporting-goods industry in general has felt the impacts from the recession and the economic downturn.
In 2010, there were 21,418 sporting-goods establishments in the U.S., nearly 10 percent fewer than in 2007, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's County Business Patterns.
Shaw cited one major benefit to the business, even in a sour economy.
"Guys will always have a little bit of money for their hobbies, that's why we've been fortunate," he said.
The business also benefited a bit from a change in New Jersey law several years ago that allowed hunters to use crossbows, which previously had been allowed only by permit for those with physical limitations and handicaps.
Shaw Sr. said the business will continue to stress what has worked for it — emphasizing customer service in a small-store setting while offering unique products and niches to help it compete with larger box retailers.
"We want to keep that small-type atmosphere," he said. "That's what kept us going."

NAI "Fellow" Award
Dr. Jon Hooper, Professor of Recreation, Hospitality, and Parks Management, has been awarded the "Fellow Award" for the National Association for Interpretation (NAI). The Fellow Award is the most prestigious and highest honor given a professional by NAI. It exemplifies career achievement in guiding the environmental interpretation profession through training, mentoring, writing, front-line interpretation, and management.
"Environmental interpretation" refers to communication processes and products that forge emotional and intellectual connections between people and their natural and cultural resources. It occurs in non-formal settings such as parks, zoos, nature centers, museums, and aquaria. Interpretation involves simplifying complicated ideas and sharing them in an easy-to-understand, highly-palatable manner.
Interpreters use both personal approaches (such as guided tours, talks, and demonstrations) and non-personal approaches (such as displays, brochures, videos, and self-guided trails) to help explain key concepts about natural and cultural environments.
The mission of NAI is to inspire leadership and excellence to advance natural and cultural history interpretation as a profession. It provides training and networking opportunities for interpreters. NAI strives to meet the needs of interpretation professionals in North America as well as worldwide. Members include guides, rangers, managers, curators, interpretive specialists, and people who design exhibits for visitor centers, museums, and other interpretive sites.
One of the criteria of the Fellow award is that the recipient must provide strong support for NAI. Jon has been involved with NAI activities at the national, sectional, and regional level and with its Western Interpreter's Association (WIA) predecessor for a combined total of more than 35 years. Perhaps Jon's most noteworthy involvement has been in giving presentations on a variety of topics at national and regional conferences. In fact, Jon was the first speaker to present a webinar at NAI's national conference. His topic was "Applying Negotiation Tricks of the Trade."
Dr. Alan Leftridge, who is also a NAI Fellow, noted the following in his letter of support for Jon's nomination: "Dr. Hooper's fame as a presenter comes from his talent to interpret difficult subject matter in a knowledgeable and entertaining manner." Some additional examples of titles of presentations Jon has given are included below:
"Death! Interpreting the Myths and Misconceptions of Wildlife Survival"
"Interpreting the Animal Rights Controversy: Is a Revolutionary or Evolutionary Approach Best?"
"PowerPoint Pitfalls"
"Designing Great Presentation Graphics"
"Disarming Our Caveman Communicator"
Jon has also presented a variety of workshops on interpretive topics including "Designing the Self-Guided Trail" and "A Primer on Interpretation: From Basics to Bitchers."
Jon has also written a variety of articles on interpretive topics including "Animal Welfarists and Rightists: Insights into an Expanding Constituency for Wildlife Interpreters" and "Interpreting the Myths and Misconceptions of Wildlife Survival." For several years, he wrote a column called "PowerPoint Pitfalls" for NAI's "Legacy" and "The Interpreter" magazines.
In addition, Jon has conducted interpretive research including research titled "Interpretation as a Management Tool: A National Study of Interpretive Professionals' Views" and "Interpretive Services on Wildlife Refuges: A Market Survey of Californians' Preferences."
Jon was a member of the promotions committee for the 1998 NAI Region 9 conference held at Whiskeytown Environmental School near Redding. He currently serves as Secretary for the College and University Academics (CUA) section of NAI. This section focuses on research, evaluation, and other scholarly aspects of the field of interpretation.
In addition, Jon has served as a consultant for interpretive display and self-guided trail design projects with the USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and California Department of Fish and Game. He has been a consultant and trainer for the National Park Service's Golden Gate National Recreation Area for many years.
As a professor for 35 years in the Department of Recreation, Hospitality, and Parks Management at CSUC, Dr. Hooper has influenced a multitude of students in his "Environmental Interpretation and Communication" (RECR 444) and "Methods and Materials for Environmental Education" (RECR 448) courses. During the award nomination process, Colleen Bathe, Chief of Interpretation at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, stated that "Jon inspired his students in many ways." Samantha Bell, Park Ranger at Muir Woods National Monument declared that "Jon's creativity, ingenuity, enthusiasm, passions, and high standards guided me to want to learn more."
Jon was certified by NAI in 2003 as a Certified Interpretive Trainer (CIT). To obtain CIT status, an individual must pass tests on principles of interpretation and demonstrate their ability to train other interpreters in a professional manner. Jon was also given the "Educator of the Year" award by Region 9 of NAI in 1992.
Dr. Leftridge commented that he felt Jon is "…a professional interpreter of the first order" and that Jon "…has provided lifetime achievement in all of the criteria set forth for NAI Fellow."
The Fellow award will be formally presented to Jon on November 9, 2013 in Reno, NV at the NAI Awards Luncheon, which is part of NAI's annual conference.

Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)
I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!
I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.

Top 5 Recipes for Holiday Leftoversby Sara Levine in Holidays, Recipes, December 26th, 2013
If you overdid it on the holiday spread this year (ham AND prime rib, anyone?) and ended up with a fridge packed full of leftovers, never fear. We've got five ways to turn them into delicious new meals.
1. Ultimate Ham Sandwich
Whether your Christmas centerpiece was honey-baked or cherry-glazed, pile thick slices on crusty bread with lettuce, tomato, dill pickles, cheddar and whole-grain mustard, and you'll have a renewed appreciation for the holiday ham.
2. Leftover Baked Potato Soup
Chances are there was some sort of potato on your holiday table. Use the leftovers in Alton's creamy, comforting soup.
3. Panettone Bread Pudding
Ina transforms Italian panettone into a rich bread pudding that's perfect for post-holiday brunch.
4. Spicy Roast Beef and Capicola Subs
Skip deli roast beef and use slices from your leftover roast for these spicy, saucy sandwiches. If you have leftover ham, too, use that instead of capicola (an Italian ham).
5. Pork and Bean Chili
If you opted for a pork roast on your holiday table, transform it into hearty pork chili to satisfy your holiday guests who stick around all week.

Melbourne Vixens coach Simone McKinnis believes her side is mentally ready to beat the Queensland Firebirds on Sunday to claim its second title.
The Vixens host Queensland at Hisense Arena after the Firebirds beat Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic 54-50 in the preliminary final on Monday.
After three torrid battles with the Firebirds this campaign, McKinnis said her team had the right amount of experience and focus to claim the championship.
''The focus throughout the year has been to get ourselves to this point,'' McKinnis said. ''I know everyone is pretty focused on what job we have to do on the weekend and that we need everyone on board and working together, which we have had all season.''
Tickets for the final went on sale to members on Tuesday and the remaining tickets will be released to the public on Wednesday morning, with officials hopeful Vixens supporters will make the final a sell-out.
The Vixens have maintained a consistent line-up through the season, with veteran shooter Catherine Cox swapping with fellow goalers Karyn Bailey and Tegan Caldwell, while the centre court and defence have remained largely unchanged throughout the campaign.
The Firebirds' most notable figureheads are towering 1.96-metre shooter Romelda Aiken and Australian Diamonds captain and goal keeper Laura Geitz.
McKinnis said the Vixens respected the Firebirds and their major stars, knowing their impact on the final would have to be kept to a minimum.
''The effectiveness of Aiken is all based on the players around her so, for us, that means everyone beating their opponent, which will take hard work for the whole match,'' McKinnis said.
''With Geitz you have the smarts defensively and then in centre court they have a lot of drive. We have done all that before and everyone wants more from ourselves this time.''
The Vixens will start the game as favourites after claiming the minor premiership and then winning the major semi final over Queensland but McKinnis said the closeness of the two sides meant it would all come down to who was more focused on the game.
''All season the girls have been super focused on whatever they have had to do,'' McKinnis said. ''Week to week we have recognised what's needed to be changed and we have done that. Ultimately, it was all about making the grand final. We have that chance now and we have to go for it.''
The Vixens have presented a calm, focused front all season, even in close losses, and it's that poise which McKinnis hopes will prove their biggest advantage on Sunday.
''To play-off in the grand final we have to be ready to put out our best netball,'' she said. ''Everyone feels good about what they are doing and feels good about playing together and stepping out as a team on Sunday.''
The Vixens won the trans-Tasman title in 2009, with only Bianca Chatfield remaining from that line-up, and were grand final losers in 2012, while the Firebirds fell at the final hurdle last season.

Fire behind nursing home prompts evacuations
Updated 9:29 pm, Sunday, May 12, 2013
A North Side nursing home was evacuated Sunday evening when a fire erupted at a maintenance building outside of the facility.
No one was injured.
More than 30 San Antonio Fire Department units rushed to the scene. The first 16 firefighters helped with evacuations.
What sparked the fire just before 7 p.m. is being investigated. The building, behind the Alamo Heights Health & Rehabilitation Center in the 8200 block of Broadway, contained regular household cleaning supplies.
Fire Chief Charles Hood praised the more than 50 staffers and Mother's Day visitors who quickly began evacuating the 138 residents as a precaution. Two nearby apartment buildings also were evacuated.
The residents of the home were allowed back in within a couple of hours once air quality was checked by the hazmat team.

Live Bands Clean Up: Liam and Me and Semi Precious Weapons
at Trash! at Webster Hall
By Meijin Bruttomesso
Every Friday in New York's Lower East Side, Webster Hall's sultry basement is transformed into Trash!, a non-stop dance party, fueled by a mélange of bands, artsy performances, go-go dancers, and live DJ's. While the recent holiday line-up included entertaining acts, such as "Nutcracker: Rated R" and "Madame Rosebud," live bands remained the main attraction.
Philadelphia's Liam and Me (Matt O'Dowd: lead vocals/keyboards/guitar, Dan Larkin: guitar/back vocals, McKenzie: bass/guitar, and Jon Briks: drums) penetrated the electro house music with their prominent pop-rock sensibilities. Drawing the crowd in with ethereal keyboard hooks, catching guitar accompaniment, and luminous vocals, LAM preserved the "trashy" ambiance despite poetic lyrics, heartfelt harmonies, and an overall crisp sound. Much of their midnight set, "There's a Difference," "Say It Out Loud," "Fast As You Can," "Pretty Black Dress," "Who Do You Think You Are?," "Pretender," "It's A Shame," "Call the Cops," and "Don't Say a Word," will be featured on LAM's upcoming record. An impressive live act, Liam and Me don't disappoint on their recorded tracks that are available for sampling at www.myspace.com/liamandme. Among the band's ear-grabbing collection were top picks, "Pretender," and "Say It Out Loud" which will be released as a single on iTunes at the end of January along with a music video. "Pretender" proves that there's no faking an ideal pop tune. Opening keys and ringing riffs swell into warm overtones that showcase Liam and Me's skillful instrumental interplay and poignant verses that beg for multiple plays. From the start, "Say It Out Loud's" resounding bass lines signal impending contagiousness. Overlaid with addictively danceable beats and syncopated synthesizer melodies, this track contains qualities that scream success. Stay on the lookout for Liam and Me's 2009 record release and explore the band's Myspace site regularly for tour dates, album updates, and a mass of multimedia. Liam and Me offer their fans more than the typical rock band, providing valuable wisdom through "Bad Ideas: Liam and Me's Advice Column" (liamandmeadvice.blogspot.com). Spill your best story; it could be a song waiting to be written.
Semi Precious Weapons (Justin Tranter: lead vocals, Cole Whittle: bass/vocals, Dan Crean: drums, Stevy Pyne: guitar) hit the downtown Manhattan stage in the very wee hours of the morning, supplying a short but explosive set that treated Trash!-goers to "Magnetic Baby," "Her Hair Is On Fire," "Semi Precious Weapons," and a new tune, "Put a Diamond in It and Bite Down." In a mere twenty minutes, SPW managed to whip the crowd into a frenzy, perpetuating the party until the break of dawn. The event was the perfect warm-up for their cross-country "Hell on Heels" tour from January 13 to March 16. Investigate www.myspace.com/semipreciousweapons for local tour dates, SPW gems and jewels, and for their debut album We Love You, now available on iTunes and in stores nationwide.

Forward Neville Costigan has been fined $5000 by the Brisbane Broncos and could face further action from the NRL club after he was charged with drink driving.
It is just the kind of publicity the Broncos would be wanting to avoid, after halfback Brett Seymour was last week accused of headbutting a young woman in a Brisbane hotel. Police are yet to lay charges over that alleged incident.
In response the team appears to be adopting a siege mentality - with management announcing they will train behind closed doors for the first time since the 2000 grand final.
Broncos boss Bruno Cullen said tonight the club was disappointed in Costigan and a meeting involving coaching staff and senior players tomorrow would decide if his penalty should be increased.
The Costigan incident follows allegations last week that dumped Broncos halfback Brett Seymour head-butted a woman in a Brisbane pub.
Cullen said Costigan was charged in Brisbane on Monday night.
He'll face court later this month charged with driving at The Gap in Brisbane's west with a blood alcohol level of .13 - almost three times the legal limit.
Cullen said Costigan, 21, had been out drinking with friends on Monday night but hadn't driven.
He said after returning home Costigan decided to go out to buy food and drove his car, only to be stopped by police.
Cullen said the Broncos were also disappointed Costigan didn't advise them of his arrest until today when a television news crew turned up at Brisbane's Red Hill training ground pursuing the story.
"Not only am I disappointed that the player was charged with this offence, but I was perturbed that the club was not informed of the charge - by the player - until late this morning," Cullen said.
The Broncos could decide to increase Costigan's fine and ban him from NRL games.
They may also demand he perform community service by addressing school students about the dangers of drink driving.
"He can tell them not to be a bloody idiot like he was," Cullen said.
Charges are yet to be laid against Seymour over the alleged incident involving him at the Regatta Hotel at Toowong.
Cullen said the Broncos were not considering restricting the activities of players in the wake of the Seymour and Costigan incidents.
"We want players to go out and enjoy themselves but we want them to be responsible," he said.

Kluwe Situation Gets Uglier with Leaked Email Between Attorneys
By: Aj Mansour | KFAN.com
Minneapolis, MN - Just as many have speculated, the situation surround Chris Kluwe and the Minnesota Vikings is getting MUCH uglier before it gets better.
With the public release of the findings of the investigative report coming Friday evening, Kluwe has opened a whole other set of issues threatening to bring light to "issues" that were covered up by the Vikings during Chris' time with the team.
However, there is seemingly more dirt and more substantial evidence to the story that Kluwe and his attorney are leaving out as well.
In an email obtained from a source close to the situation, Kluwe's representation suggested against bringing the full report to light. The email, sent from Clayton Halunen to Christopher Madel, a Minneapolis attorney that was one of the people conducting the investigation, on July 8th is an attempt to convince Kluwe to allow the findings to stay private.
"The more I think about it I believe it would be a mistake [to go public] for a number of reasons," Halunen said. "First, the Vikings have never made any commitment to make any investigation report public. The only commitment made was that my client's allegations would be thoroughly investigated."
The email went on to say that public disclosure could open "Pandora's box".
"I think a much more prudent course of action would be to provide some sort of Executive Summary that would provide the public with the substantive findings and recommendations."
Tonight the Vikings provided such an executive summary and Kluwe took to twitter stirring the pot in some huge ways!
Oooh, shall we talk about the time two very well known Vikings players were caught in a compromising situation with an underage girl?
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) July 19, 2014
Bet you didn't hear about that one in the news. We can do this all day, Vikings. Special teams hears *everything*.
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) July 19, 2014
But we'll save all that for the trial. It'll be more fun that way.
— Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) July 19, 2014
It's safe to say this story is only starting to unfold. Stick with The FAN for all of the latest.

Institute for Literacy
Literacy in the United States
The NIFL Literacy Fact Sheets include facts and statistics pulled from more than 50 research studies. (Links to digests of some of the major studies are included on the left.) Facts are organized by the major topic areas in the field of literacy on the Web pages hyperlinked above and represent the types of information to be found. The facts listed below are from the most commonly referenced literacy-related studies. New subject area fact sheets will be added through 2002.
Scope of the Literacy Need
In 1992, the National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS), found the following distribution of adults, age 16 and over, in the prose literacy scale:
In the International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) assessment, 1994-98:
In the International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) assessment, 1994-98:
The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study assessed children's reading skills as they entered kindergarten in the fall of 1998, kindergarten in the spring of 1999, and first grade in spring 2000. They found that at the start of kindergarten in the fall:
To Talk to a Where
the Right Went Wrong
To Talk to a
the Right Went Wrong
The 2000 Program for International Student Assessment found that on a combined reading literacy scale, U.S. 15 year olds performed about as well on average as most of the 27 participating OECD countries.
According to the 1999 National Household Education Survey, 50% of the population aged 25 and over read a newspaper at least once a week, read one or more magazines regularly, and had read a book in the past 6 months.
Parental Involvement
The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study found the following for kindergartners in the fall of 1998:
The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study found that of the children who were read to at least three times a week as they entered kindergarten:
It also found that in spring 2000, the children who were read to at least three times a week by a family member were almost twice as likely to score in the top 25% in reading than children who were read to less than 3 times a week.
Family Environment and Family Literacy
A literacy promotion study, conducted in 1996 in a primary care setting with low-income Hispanic parents of healthy 5-11 month old infants found:
The National Evaluation of The Even Start Family Literacy Program conducted in 1996-97 found the following reasons for participating in the program:
Literacy and Health
The NALS found that the relationship between adults' health conditions and their literacy skills varies depending on the condition. Adults with conditions such as hearing difficulty, a speech disability, a learning disability, or mental retardation usually have Level 1 skills. Adults with other conditions usually have Level 2 skills.
In a 1993-94 study conducted at two public hospitals, 23.6% of patients with inadequate functional health literacy did not know how to take medication four times a day compared to 9.4% with marginal functional health literacy, and 4.5% with adequate functional health literacy.
Workforce Education
A number of national and state organizations in the
U.S., including the National Governor's Association, have identified Level 3 proficiency as a minimum standard for success in today's labor market. Findings from the IALS assessment indicate that only half of the U.S. adult population 16-65 years of age reached Level 3.
The 2001 American Management Association Survey on Workplace Testing found the following:
The National Center on the Educational Quality of the Workforce found that productivity increases in the manufacturing sector for each of the following factors:
A comparison of the literary requirements of projected high-growth occupations in 2005 (for example math, computer, and other natural scientists), with declining occupations (such as fabricators, assemblers, and inspectors), found the following:
English as a Second Language Literacy
In 2000, 28.4 million foreign born resided in the United States, representing 10.4% of the total U.S. population.
ESL programs are the fastest growing component of the state-administered adult education programs. In 1997-98, 48% of enrollments were in ESL programs, compared to 33% in 1993-94. Of these 48% enrollees, 32% were in beginning ESL classes, 12% in intermediate, and 4% in advanced.
The National Household Education Survey, 1994-95, found that for adults aged 16 or over whose primary language at home was not English:
Correctional Population
In 1992, about one in three prison inmates performed at Level 1 on the NALS prose scale, compared with one in five of the household population.
The Three State Recidivism Study found that the re-arrest, reconviction, and re-incarceration rates were lower for the prison population who had participated in correctional education compared to non-participants. The differences were significant in every category. The findings were:
Literacy, Personal Economics, and Welfare

Last week, traders weren't very kind to the equity markets. They were particularly hard on financial stocks, as the Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF[1]) was down more than 4% in the week ended 4/11. Things were even worse for many individual financial-related stocks, including credit card payment processors MasterCard (MA[2]) and Visa (V[3]).
Mastercard stock sank nearly 4.9% for the week ended 4/11, while Visa stock was down 5.3%. Both stocks enjoyed a nice rebound in Monday trade, with MA stock jumping 3.7% and V spiking 2.2%. The move higher Monday was due to several positives for the leading payment companies, positives that I suspect will charge up both stocks in the weeks and months to come.
First off, part of today's gains in Mastercard and Visa stock were due to the wider buying in stocks after last week's aforementioned drubbing. If and when that buying cools, so too will the buying in MA and V. However, the gains in the two stocks weren't just driven by tag-along buying.
On Monday morning, Wall Street woke up to a research note from analyst David Konig of Robert W. Baird that upgraded MA stock to "Outperform" from "Neutral." Konig cited credit card metrics from JP Morgan (JPM[4]) and Wells Fargo (WFC[5]) showing credit card use volumes were about where they were in Q4. That helped quell fears that Q1 volumes will come in weaker than expected.
Click to EnlargeKonig also said Mastercard stock wouldn't likely be tainted much from ongoing litigation with some merchants, or from the economic weakness caused by Russia's recent aggression in Ukraine. Konig has an $83 price target on Mastercard stock.
Visa stock also got some favorable analyst coverage on Monday from Pacific Crest, which initiated coverage on the shares. The firm rates Visa stock with an "Outperform," saying that the company is poised to benefit from the growth of mobile payments and digital payment systems in hitherto under served markets. Pacific Crest's price target on Visa stock is $241.
The upbeat research calls on both Mastercard and Visa stock were particularly welcome, considering both shares have been pummeled lately. For example, in the month leading up to the April 11 close, Mastercard stock fell 10% while Visa stock plummeted 10.9%. This intense selling pushed both stocks below their respective short-term, 50-day moving average and their long-term, 200-day moving average.
The breakdown below the 200-day was particularly noteworthy for both stocks, because the slide below this all-important technical support level can either make or break a stock's next move.
Click to EnlargeWhat usually happens when a high-flyer quickly falls below the 200-day average is one of two things: Either the shares breakdown below the 200-day and come tumbling down in free fall, or the smart money starts to pile into the shares as a value play, taking advantage of good stocks at a bargain price.
I suspect the next phase for Mastercard stock and Visa stock are a case of the latter at work, and judging by Monday's trade, my suspicions are starting to be confirmed.
However, on Monday we received some rather upbeat retail sales data for March, a metric that could act as a tailwind for both Mastercard stock and Visa stock going forward. The Commerce Department reported a retail sales increase of 1.1% in the previous month[6], which was the biggest gain in the measure since September 2012.
More people spending more money is good news for credit card processors, and that might just be the added push both Mastercard stock and Visa stock need to break back firmly above technical resistance.
As of this writing, Jim Woods did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

They proceeded to condemn the arminian doctrines, and to banish all the preachers who upheld them.
He has an excellent humour for an heretick, and in these days made the first arminian.
The arminian dispute led by necessary consequence to the question of public toleration.
A soldier said he would get a gimlet and bore a hole into the arminian.
The Arian heresy did not necessarily follow the arminian, but much the same causes led to its appearance.
Whitefield was a Calvinist: I am an arminian; but the book is not controversial.
My mother grieves, that one of her sons is an Arian, another an arminian.
They are arminian books, and those are mighty solid, I can tell you.
One of the most prominent of his reasons was, that the Church of Ireland connived "at arminian doctrines."
The ecclesiastical policy of the church is Wesleyan; but its theology is arminian.
1610s, from Arminius, Latinized form of the name of James Harmensen (1560-1609), Dutch Protestant theologian who opposed Calvin, especially on the question of predestination. His ideas were denounced at the Synod of Dort, but nonetheless spread in the Reformed churches.

Myers replaces Frances Caenen, who is has been named branch manager of the Tonganoxie office.

"Bonner is our home," Myers said. "I'm very excited about this new opportunity to serve this community and our fine Bonner Springs customers. I encourage anyone who has not had a chance to stop by and meet our staff."

Well, I'm way behind on my monthly update post about the girls! In fact, we're halfway through the month. The photos shown here were taken on their two month mark, so I did remember to do one thing!
Here are some updates on the girls and their personalities. It's such an exciting time to really see them come into their own.
She loves to be held and bounced to sleep. We call her Queen Kate because she wants it her way all the time. We joke about her list of demands: "Get my milk layperson!" Or "Did I say you could put me down yet?" But boy when she smiles she couldn't be any sweeter or look more innocent. Another nickname we've given her is meerkat because she loves to pop up on your shoulder and scan the room. She's a very curious girl and loves staring at you while you talk to her. Her hair is still very dark and she's out of newborn clothes weighing 10.5 pounds at our pediatrician check-up.
Emma has settled down a lot during the last month. We found out she has acid reflux, so we started her on medication after some very scary choking incidents. The good news is that she is what they call a happy spitter since she's still gaining weight. She has been wearing three month clothes since the two month mark! She smiles every day now and it melts my heart every time. She loves making noises, listening to lullabies and testing out her own voice. Her hair is turning strawberry blonde for now and she weighs in 11.5 pounds!
Next up, a post about the things I've learned being a new MoM (mom of multiples) in the last two and a half months – stay tuned!
