FOR four centuries a Weardale school has helped to shape the hearts and minds of thousands of young people.
At the weekend many of those pupils - past and present, from near and far - came together to celebrate Wolsingham School and Community College's 400th anniversary.
Over two days a host of attractions commemorated the school's heritage, brought the community and generations together and entertained guests.
Loading article content
An historical exhibition marked its foundation in 1614 by the Prince Bishop of Durham, memorabilia and photographs spanned the decades and a 1950s Weardale bus recreated the trip to school from Stanhope.
Sports activities included football and cricket matches and a reunion of the team which won the England School's Basketball Association Under-19s Championship in 2004.
Now aged 26 to 28 and in various jobs including a teacher, electrician, civil servant and mechanic they were delighted to catch up on.
Civil servant Jonathan Hirst, 28, said: "It was a great group of people that played together and a good thing to be part of."
Retired PE teacher Willy Bell said: "We didn't have the sports hall facilities of today so every game they played was away and it was a really big deal for the area when they won."
Musical events included a brass band competition and entertainment at a gala dinner by Huge, a band featuring former pupils Alex Lomas and Ian Donaghy.
Some Wolsingham alumni travelled from abroad to swap tales of new lives in Australia, New Zealand and Germany with old friends still in Weardale.
Durham County Councillor for Weardale Anita Savory, a school governor and former pupil, said: "I believe this school sets the foundations for you and your future.
"When pupils leave a part of Wolsingham School is always with them, it is a special place which I'm very proud of."
Headteacher Deborah Merrett was honoured the anniversary fell during her tenure.
She said: "It is lovely for the children to recognise the part they play in the community and the school, they have learnt a lot about education and Weardale over the last 400 years.
"At this point in our history we are not only celebrating the past and present but also looking to the future."
She said improving results and work to consolidate the school on the 1911-built lower school site will start this year, signalling a bright future.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for A Room of Her Own Foundation, Placitas, NM, USA
AROHO is a fantastic organization that is dedicated to serving writers at all stages of development. I recently attended their retreat at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico and it more than met my expectations. I had the privilege to work with some of the most talented and supportive people I have ever met. I walked away not only inspired, but with practical tools that I will continue to use. I give AROHO the highest recommendation possible.

They beat her, they sexually assaulted her, they called her a whore – whore whore whore, over and over.
They beat her, they sexually assaulted her, they called her a whore – whore whore whore, over and over.
Grace says
Mona Elthaway is an incredibly brave and strong woman. This is just horrible. My heart goes out to her.
This happend to another female journalist in Egypt, Lara Logan. I hope Mona does not have to deal with her fellow journalists calling her the same names her attackers did, like Laura Logan. Perhaps Dan Rottenberg is going to crawl out from under his rock and write another editorial on "naive" women.
Ophelia Benson says
Mona's a rock.
I've talked with her a little at Facebook, which is one reason I don't agree with people who think Facebook is completely ridiculous and stupid.
It's upsetting that her parents' worry gets to her – I mean, upsetting because it's so horrible for all of them.
Grace says
Facebook can be stupid and it can be great, it's what you do with it I guess. I'm glad Mona was finally freed. She has my deepest admiration for being such an amazing and fearless journalist.
Francisco Bacopa says
The injuries to her hands on her forearms are what medical examiners call "defensive injuries". Looks like she has minor fractures in both arms.
She held out long enough for her assailants to come to their senses and respect her credentials and citizenship. Other women have been much less fortunate.
Please understand that I do not mean to minimize what Eltahawy when I say it could have been worse. She was beaten and sexually assaulted. That's plenty traumatic. And yes, it's still sexual assault even if no penetration occurred, as it seems was the case from this interview.
It gives me hope that most of the military police Eltahawy encountered were helpful. I also hope that those who treated her as badly as they did will be held accountable.
To anyone who who might go to Occupy General Assemblies, get up there and propose a resolution in support of Egypt. Occupy Houston and Occupy Austin have staged two small demonstrations in support of the Egyptian people at the Consulate in Houston.
Svlad Cjelli says
Egypt is broken. Can you fix it? 🙁
Ophelia Benson says
Francisco, indeed, Mona made that point herself, with much emphasis – she said what happened to her is just the tip of the iceberg and that she has a lot of factors that protect her, unlike countless others.

CHICAGO, April 16 (UPI) -- The MacArthur Foundation Monday handed out $4.8 million in grants to help strengthen U.S. Democratic institutions.
The nine grants went to several groups that will "analyze data on political campaign contributions, provide legal expertise to local and state officials on the public financing of campaigns and monitor the federal agencies that have oversight responsibilities for elections." They also will support "informal and substantive policy discussions by members of Congress from across the political spectrum," and make "the elections of judges more transparent and to address the reliability of voting systems and make polling place practices more secure."
"In recent years, we've seen an increasing disconnect between the policy solutions recommended by experts and the ability of our political system to address those ideas in a meaningful way," said MacArthur Foundation President Robert Gallucci. "With these grants we add MacArthur's voice and resources to those of others seeking to ensure that our government can respond more effectively to the issues that matter most to our collective well-being and future."
The Aspen Institute's Congressional Program will receive $1.8 million; the Brennan Center for Justice's Democracy Program, $500,000; the campaign Legal Center, $500,000; the Center for Responsive Politics, $400,000; the Committee for Economic Development, $300,000; the Democracy 21 Education Fund, $200,000; Justice at Stake, $400,000; the National Institute on Money in State Politics, $400,000; and the Verified voting Foundation, $300,000.

"Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? / Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? / Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews."

text: Posted July 12, 2012 · Report post Hey All! I am a visual anthropology grad student at Goldsmiths (London) making a short (20 min) documentary about how people deal with acne in different ways. My interest is personal in that I also have acne in varying degrees on different parts of my body. I am looking for participants in the UK and Europe but am open to suggestions from people located elsewhere (you might have to end up filming yourself and sending footage)! About the content of the documentary: the film has as its nexus acne but I want to use that center point as a way of exploring various 'bodily rituals' as the title states. So I am looking for a variety of methods of clearing acne -- whether it be honey and baking soda masks to exercise to vinegar to dietary changes to accutane and so on! I am interested in filming anyone that has a strong opinion about dermatology as a science either positive or negative. I am also currently researching the representation of acne in media and medical imagery. Two things to keep in mind before replying to me: 1. I too struggle with this so I am sympathetic and 2. this is a FILM so if you are uncomfortable being on camera it will not be helpful to me. Hopefully, this could be a cathartic experience for a few people, at the very very least. If you don't have acne but another skin problem and are interested drop me a line anyway! -Sara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About Me
To save the world and to dance in every country...
I am easy-going and laid back. Like to travel all over the world and mingle with people of different cultures. So many places to go, so many people to meet, so little time. Maybe this site will help me achieve some of that.
Whenever I travel, I like to do what the locals do, eat what they eat, dance where they dance, rather than spend time in a hotel or a tourist resort! And, oh, wherever in the world I go, I have to visit the nearest SALSA club. That is one of my big passions. I work as a software developer and my work pretty much takes me across the world. I find this quite exciting, as I like to travel. In that respect, I consider myself lucky - getting paid to do what I enjoy.
I worked hard for quite a few years, especially through my 20s and it got to the point that I had almost forgotten the reason why I was working in the first place. The thing is that my work was supposed to pay for the lifestyle I wanted to live. And how did I want to live? I wanted to climb mountains, learn to play the saxophone, go skydiving, go deep sea diving and fight social justice along the way.... Today, I work as an IT contractor for just about 7 months a year. The other 5 months, I have been working on some personal software project. I also try to do some of the things that I have always wanted to do - travel, dance, save the world etc etc. I also ensure that I am never at work during my lovely daughter's holidays.
I like the idea of this site. I hope I can travel. I am happy to accommodate for short periods, but I have to be careful who I let into my house as I have a little daughter who stays with me most weekends. Sorry I have not thought of anything better to put here because I am writing this in a hurry - well actually I am just transferring my profile info from hospitality club to couchsurfing. Will think of more info later. otherwise, just ask if you want to know more about me.
NOTE: I now have two lodgers in my house. They will be there for most of 2013, so it will be more difficult for me to host. I will only be able to manage 1 or 2 days, occasionally. However, I will still give extra consideration to Salsa dancers :) and I can always help in many other ways, including giving emergency help or showing visitors around London.
Life truly is short, so I am trying to live as much and as fast as I can before I die.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I just transferred from hospitality club. I hope this site provides a better service

Paterno Ousted at Penn State
Iconic Football Coach Out Immediately and University President to Leave
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.—In just five days, Pennsylvania State University, one of the largest public universities in the U.S., has been knocked off its axis by a child sex-abuse scandal that Wednesday claimed its longtime president and its iconic football coach, Joe Paterno.
After an emergency meeting Wednesday evening, the school's Board of Trustees announced it had dismissed Mr. Paterno, the nation's winningest and longest-tenured major-college football coach, and decided Graham Spanier, the school's president for the past 16 years, should step down.
Joe Paterno's Career
See a timeline of key events in the 46-year career of major-college football's winningest coach.
The actions followed the indictment over the weekend of a former longtime Paterno assistant coach on charges of child sex abuse over a 15-year period. "We felt we need to restore trust in the university," said John Surma, the board's vice president.
The board named Rodney A. Erickson, executive vice president and provost, as the university's interim president. Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley was named interim coach.
"I am heartbroken to think that any child may have been hurt," Mr. Spanier said in a release. "The buck stops here."
Mr. Surma said he called Mr. Paterno at home Wednesday to deliver the news. He said the board's vote was unanimous.
Students who gathered at Mr. Paterno's home late Wednesday said he came out and wanted to talk only to students—not reporters.
"He said he's not the coach anymore, and there's nothing he can do about it," said John Paul Nicola, 19. "He said it's big news to him right now, he had stuff to think about, and he'll have stuff to say tomorrow."
Elsewhere, hundreds of students gathered at the HUB-Robeson Center, the student union, to watch the trustees' news conference on a big screen. When the announcement came that Mr. Paterno would not coach again at Penn State, students gasped.
Earlier Wednesday, Mr. Paterno announced he planned to retire at the end of the season. In a statement, he described the growing scandal, fueled by child sex-abuse charges against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and perjury charges against two university officials, as a "tragedy" and "one of the great sorrows of my life." Mr. Paterno said that in hindsight, "I wish I had done more."
Mr. Paterno had planned to coach the team Saturday against Nebraska in what is the team's final home game of the season. Just before 4 p.m. he left his home to attend football practice.
Throughout the day at Penn State, a series of extraordinary scenes unfolded as published reports, official statements and in some cases, official silences, drew a portrait of a divided institution.
Earlier in the day, Penn State posted Mr. Paterno's announcement of his plan to retire at the end of the season on its website, but the school administration didn't address the coach's status or clarify whether he would be on the sidelines Saturday. Mr. Paterno met with his players late Wednesday morning. Speaking to reporters later, Drew Astorino, a senior safety said the players' understanding was that Mr. Paterno would coach the team Saturday, though they weren't sure.
All day, pressure mounted. The U.S. Education Department said it would open an investigation into whether Penn State complied with a federal law regarding the disclosure of criminal offenses on campus. Penn State officials couldn't immediately be reached for comment on the probe. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett said he was "personally disappointed in the lack of action" by Penn State officials and planned to visit the campus Thursday, according to a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette report confirmed by a Corbett spokesman.
Mr. Paterno, 84, had come under criticism for how he responded after learning of an alleged incident involving Mr. Sandusky and a child in 2002.
Upon hearing of the incident from an eyewitness, later identified as Mike McQueary, who is now the team's wide-receivers coach, Mr. Paterno reported it to Athletic Director Tim Curley but not to police, according to prosecutors.
Decades on the Sidelines
1950: Joe Paterno becomes assistant football coach at Pennsylvania State University.
1966:Paterno takes over as head coach.
1977: Jerry Sandusky becomes defensive coordinator.
Jan. 1, 1983: Nittany Lions win their first national championship.
Jan. 2, 1987:Team wins second national title.
1999:Sandusky retires as defensive coordinator.
2002: Paterno is told of alleged incident involving Sandusky and a child in a college shower, reports information to school officials.
2007: Paterno is inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Oct. 28, 2011: Paterno gets his 409th victory–surpassing Eddie Robinson—and making him the winningest head coach in Division I football.
Nov. 5, 2011:Sandusky arrested on 21 felony counts for allegedly abusing children.
Nov. 9, 2011:Paterno announces he plans to retire at the end of the season. Trustees vote later in the day to oust him immediately.
Mr. Sandusky, a Penn State coach from 1969 to 1999, has been charged with 21 felony counts of sexually abusing eight boys over a decade and a half. Mr. Sandusky has maintained he is innocent of the charges.
Mr. Paterno hasn't been charged in the case, but Pennsylvania state police Commissioner Frank Noonan suggested there was a "moral responsibility" to contact police about potential sexual abuse involving children.
In a statement Sunday, Mr. Paterno said he "did what I was supposed to do." Mr. McQueary hasn't commented publicly.
Mr. Curley and Gary Schultz, vice president for finance and business, have been charged with perjury for allegedly lying to a grand jury about what they knew about the allegations. Messrs. Curley and Schultz have maintained their innocence.
On the university's campus Wednesday, there were passionate arguments about the scandal. "We're seeing students shouting at each other in classrooms," said Shannon Terrell, an 18-year-old from Canton, Mich.

Countermeasures and tradeoffs for a class of covert timing channels
|Gray, James W. III
|Issue Date
|We identify a class of covert timing channels with the following properties. (1) existing covert timing channel analysis techniques are inappropriate for the channels in this class; and (2) it includes the fastest (i.e., highest capacity) covert channels known to date. Since channels in this class are exploited by counting the occurrences of certain events, we call them counting channels. We describe a technique for analyzing the capacity of counting channels and use our technique to analyze a known counting channel (viz, the bus contention channel) under two different types of countermeasures: an existing countermeasure called fuzzy time and a novel countermeasure called probabilistic partitioning. In particular, our analysis provides the only known upper bound on the capacity of the bus contention channel under fuzzy time. Also, for both types of countermeasures, we obtain precise tradeoffs between covert channel capacity and other desirable system properties.

Say 'bottle brush blossom' three times very fast.
I like it because it is quite drought tolerant. It will survive an amazing amount of neglect, but with just a modest amount of water it will respond enthusiastically.
This plant just amazes me. I love red anyway, and I think it's so pretty. I almost didn't even see the bee! Thanks, PMP!
I'll see to it, Hanne.
Do hope it'll let it go again!! Beautiful, Varda!!

Already in love with Antaeus
24 as well. Ordered mine yesterday and expecting it on Wednesday. Quite excited to be honest.
Wall Street, Success is a job in New York, West Side, Bleecker Street, and Andy Warhol Montauk
The Seattle one carries Creed, Jo Malone, Acqua di Parma and Bond No. 9
My flagship in Seattle also carries them, in fact stopped by today to get acquainted with the house and bought a few bottles too.
Montale Black Musk
How does this topic have 450,000 views?
I received oh so many compliments from clients over the last week while wearing Black Musk.
I agree but it also has poor longevity. I got mine at Neiman shortly after Aventus came out.
Profumum Alba is the one you're looking for, wearing it right now.
This is Luckyscent's description.
Why is the word Nordstrom automatically hyperlinked? Nordstrom nordstrom nordstrom
The flagship Nordstrom store in Seattle has quite a few of them in stock, I don't believe it's selling that well.
Awesome, thanks for letting us know.
According to the website 135 € for 100ml which is reasonable.
Someone should shoot Luckyscent an email and see if they can acquire and stock this.
plus 1
It was a gift from my dad when I was in middle school and I still have it in my collection but haven't worn in probably more than 8 years. Not that it's a bad fragrance, my tastes change many times...
This is my first venture into ELDO and whenever a house has so many offerings I'm intimidated since I don't know where to start, a similar concern prevents me from trying any Diptyque. As far as Tom...
Tom of Finland, recently got a samples from Luckyscent and ordered a bottle.
Re-enactment of how it went down.
I'm itching to get some new scents and decided to order a few samples from Luckyscent before reaching for the wallet. Let me know if you guys have any of these and what your thoughts are. I'm really...
Unfortunately if feels like the latter, especially since it seems like there are more than 7 different batches.
I have C4210E01 and I really like it, the only complaint I have is the longevity.
I wouldn't describe any of those as sensuous, however Wonderwood is a great fragrance with good silage.
How serious was it? Are you ok?
Comme des Garçons Wonderwood last well into the second day which is unusual since CdG aren't known for their longevity.
Anything Ed Hardy
Technically your MasterCard won't sweat since Neiman only accept American Express :D
Comme des Garçons 2Man
Mazzolari Lui
Il Profumo G11
This was my first and most likely last Mugler purchase, starting to regret I opened the package.
What would Erwin Creed wear?
I use the Terre D'Hermes aftershave balm which I like quite a bit.
Pure Havane
Any at the flagship in Seattle?:D
It won't let me ship it to Seattle, when I check out it gives me this "??order_shipping.invalid_zipcode??"
Upon my tipoff. Mike you're still and ass :D
It lasts longer however the EDT is a smoother scent and has a more pleasant dry-down. You can create magic by layering them though.
2Man and Wonderwood, love 2Man especially. Hinoki is a great fragrance as well, however it's not one for daily usage.
Any updates on new batches?
Blackbird in Ballard, they carry Comme des Garcons, CB I hate Perfume, Portland General, Diptyque, Malin + Goetz and a few other ones.
I went to the Barney's in Seattle last week to look at their CdG line (ended up buying Wonderwood) There were around 3 good looking ladies working there and a gentleman. As soon as I walked in a cute...
2nd batch?
2 Man is a wonderful smokey fragrance, one of my all time favorites, however I don't think that's the one you should start with as it can shy you away from trying other CdG if you don't like it. I'd...
I've never flipped a fragrance just because it's too much hassle and I wouldn't have done it with the Tabarome. I would've just gave out free samples to everyone on BN. But you had to mess it up,...
So you owe me...let's see...he's selling half a flacon for $795...$795x2=$1590...$1590-$365=$1225...
But let's make it an even $1200 :D
I think a lot of BNers would be very impressed with the scents they have there, they are also really awesome about providing samples. It's always nice chatting with the owner.
Lol way to be an asshat Mike. I can cancel your order by having a quick chat with Nasreen, kidding I won't actually do that :D. Congrats, they said they were innundated with calls about it over the...
It's a very faint code on the bottom of the bottle.
Seattle has the flagship Nordstrom and they sell Creed both at their Creed boutique and their fragrance section. The boutique at Nordstrom didn't have the VT for sale in any way but for some reason...
When I purchased my Git from Nordstrom they offered to fill up a Creed atomizer if I purchased one with Vintage Tabarome. I was really surprised they even had at VT tester but none for sale. They...
I know my Tabaromes.
Horrible deal, a local store here has the full 250ml for $350. I'm thinking about buying it and flipping for a profit.
Great suggestion, I'd love to visit their boutique the next time I'm down in Cali.
How is the longevity?
I love the smokey drydown. I think I'm in my smokey fragrance stage:D
My main concern is the longevity.
Which batch would you recommend the most for purchase? I also went to Nordstrom today and they had the 120ml with the lot number that ended in K03.
There are still lots of inconsistencies even when it comes to the same batch I believe. I have C4210E01 and while it smells great the longevity simply blows. I sprayed generously on my wrist and...
I think that MI and GIT would make a fragrance that would be too nauseatingly sweet. I mixed Aventus and Comme des Garcons 2 Man today and it came out wonderful. CdG's smoky top notes mixed perfectly...
b0n3z, I got my A4 from Neiman Marcus, I really love the fragrance and have had numerous compliments while wearing it, however I still think that the longevity should be improved.
My apologies for another Aventus thread, however after Dullah's post I would like the Aventus owners to post their batch/lot numbers and see if there is a correlation between that and what they think...
I have C4210E01 which I got at Neiman Marcus as it came out and I believe that this is the one most have been complaining about the longevity, however the more I use it, the more I like the scent....
Merry Christmas ladies and gents. Scentologist, I hope a Christmas Miracle happens to your engine :D
I have Dunhill by Alfred Dunhill and I'm not sure if that's the same one you mentioned in your first post. It's a very synthetic fragrance which is to my surprise very unique. The juice has a nice...
Try Dunhill Pursuit, it's a very mild pleasant subtle pleasant fragrance.

I usually test 6 fragrances at the same time; wrists, shoulders, and knees. I also shove a coffee bean up each nostril.

The top notes for Comme des Garçons 2 Man leave an impression of sweet white smoke, I love it. It has mahogany and incense which settle down nicely on the drydown.
Unfortunately I don't own that one. The only one I have is the Hermès.
But it is a better fragrance in all aspects. It's a classier and finer fragrance than Green Irish Tweed, if anything, it's GIT that is more appealing to the public, hence being the most popular Creed...
I don't know if they can be classified as "best bottle design in the universe" but they certainly caught my eye.
Voyage D'Hermes
They're both very different and I bought them at about the same time. The less I'm starting to care about Green Irish Tweed the more I start loving Aventus. Aventus is a fragrance it takes a little...
Just bought 2 Man a week or so ago and I have to say it's one of the most unusual fragrances I've tried, in a very good way. However the longevity isn't great.
Vintage Tabarome (Private Collection)
Green Irish Tweed
Royal English Leather
Bois du Portugal
Dirty English by Juicy Couture, it doesn't smell great to start with but coupled with a bad experience while wearing it makes me dislike it the most.
^ I second that. I hunted in Seattle for about a week for one of those before finally finding a flacon. Well worth it.
Creed Vintage Tabarome, but it calls for a very special and formal occasion. Otherwise I'd go with Terre D'Hermes and Comme des Garçons 2 Man just because it drew so many compliments since I bought...
I purchased the 100ml, the only one in Seattle:evil:
I'm 23 and right now have 3 creeds; Aventus, Green Irish Tweed and Vintage Tabarome. Ladies our age love both Aventus and Green Irish Tweed. I would recommend Aventus.
I think the cutoff age for wearing Fierce is 20. I did get tons of compliments from ladies while wearing it in highschool but I don't feel like I could pull it off anymore. In fact I went to a party...
I own it and don't really find it special. I really liked the F when I was younger (I'm 23 now) and was curious about the Black so bought the 100ml. It's a warm fragrance, reminds me slightly of John...
I called up Barney's and they have a sample and can get the fragrance in 5 days however I saw it listed at a local niche store so I'll head there tomorrow to sample and possibly but it.
Haha, I'm sold. Any idea which store might carry it as I'm too impatient to order it online.:evil:
Do you agree with the longevity description of Daryl J?
That actually sounds pretty amazing, just called up my Kors store and they will have it on Tuesday, will definitely give it a try based on your description.

A PASTOR was forced to lay hands on a parishioner who had become possessed by the spirit of a dog during his service.
Pastor T.B Joshua of The Synagogue Church of All Nation, watched in shock as a female member was brought to the altar for deliverance barking like a dog.
"In the mighty name of Jesus' name," he begins his prayer, to which the woman responds by barking louder and walking around the altar on all fours.
When the woman becomes irate, he shouts: "Be delivered in Jesus' name, out in Jesus' name!"
As the woman lies on the floor motionless, Pastor T.B Joshua announces to the congregation, "she is free!"
"Rise up," he instructs the woman, who responds by joyfully jumping to her feet shouting, "I'm free! Thank you Jesus, I'm free."
"There are many [spirits], they make use of them [people]. After using them, they get out of them," Pastor T.B Joshua informs the congregation.

KELOWNA – An idea that started as a simple Facebook post one year ago is now a reality for tourists and residents alike to enjoy.
Last spring Festivals Kelowna posted to their Facebook page a video called The People's Piano from South London. It shows a man playing a piano that the local government set up in a location popular with tourists and locals. Festivals Kelowna spokesperson and city councilor Ryan Donn says the response from the group members was overwhelming.
"We post this thing about pianos and everyone said 'we have to have that in Kelowna.'"
One year later and there are now five brightly painted, upright pianos scattered across Kelowna, free for anyone to play, day or night, throughout the summer. It is called Pianos in the Park.
Each of the five pianos were donated by Keystone Music, who will be responsible for keeping them tuned and playable.
There is one in the City Park tunnel, one near Jim Stewart Park, one behind the Kelowna courthouse, another next to the Rotary Centre for the Arts and the fifth at the Busk Stop on Bernard Avenue.
Donn says the total cost of program will be around $5,000, some of which will come from the city.
"The cost to the City of Kelowna is very minimal," he says. "We're looking at probably around $5,000 by the time everything gets up and running but we have sponsors who will be covering some of that cost."
One of the sponsors, Disney Interactive, provided the artists who decorated the pianos, each with a distinctive design. The decorations are intended to both enhance the appeal as well as deter potential vandals.
"What we learned (from other municipalities) is that if you do put that extra effort into decorating them that greatly reduces potential graffiti."
Donn is also hoping that if the pianos are appealing enough, citizens will take it upon themselves to help out when it rains.
"There will be covers for them so as it rains we ask the public to put those covers on," he says. "I can tell you that staff of the businesses around the pianos are going to take ownership of the program."
Kamloops also has a public piano, which is located downtown and has been a hit with locals and tourists. The blue chalkboard piano was made public last summer.

My last post ended with the CMAA archives narrowly escaping the great circular file in the sky to end up at DC. This gave rise to several more related questions relating to the CMAA's status as a tax-exempt nonprofit: What is in the archives? Has the CMAA actually dissolved? And why, in a comics industry that abounds with publishers, was DC the only industry member left to get the whole thing?
What's in the archives?
I would like to report that the CMAA archives contain decades of original unpublished versions of scripts and artwork prior to being revised for the Code, but according to former CMAA executive director Holly Munter Koenig, the CMAA did not retain most of the comics material that it reviewed. It is likely that the records held by DC contain little more than corporate minutes, some promotional material and a few comics.
Article IX.7 of the CMAA bylaws does note that the CMAA's secretary was responsible for keeping the organization's corporate minutes, "books and papers." However, "books and papers" is not defined, and it does not require the CMAA to retain copies of artwork, scripts or comics–typically the books and papers retained by an entity relate to its operations, such as key correspondence, personnel records and financial statements. Such material would no doubt prove useful to a researcher seeking to update Amy Kiste Nyberg's seminal Seal of Approval, but they would typically not contain the content likely to be of interest to most historians of comic art, not to mention collectors and investors.
From a comics history perspective, one of the most fascinating aspects of speaking with Ms. Koenig was her description of the process of reviewing draft pages for Code approval. In her time with the CMAA Ms. Koenig was responsible for conducting Code checks herself, and contrary to the stereotype of Code reviewers as moralistic scolds, Ms. Koenig is a savvy and urbane professional with keen insight into the Code's role in corporate strategy. She reviewed material for continuity as well as nonconforming content, with her spouse–an attorney and comics fan–particularly adept at catching continuity glitches that might have otherwise gone uncorrected. As for content violating Code standards, Ms. Koenig recalled that artists seemed to make of game of attempting to slip in outre material through the creative use of foreign slang,
As for what happened to nonconforming draft pages sent for correction, according to Ms. Koenig a fair amount of Code-reviewed material reportedly was sent to Archie Comics over the years–not because it was seen as valuable, but because executives such as Michael Silberkleit and Victor Gorelick did not want to send history to the dump. This is a lead that comics historians with an interest in studying this material may want to pursue further.
Has the CMAA actually dissolved?
Legally it still exists, according to the latest records available from the New York Secretary of State. Nonetheless, it appears that the organization has been winding down since 2009. It is a membership organization without any members, and it is inactive with no apparent steps being taken toward its revival.
That said, apart from whatever material remains in the archives, it's not clear that any plan of dissolution would have much left to distribute. Perhaps the most valuable remaining asset is the Comics Code Seal, a copyrighted graphic still owned by the CMAA. Ms. Koenig reports that the CMAA had attempted to bring in additional funds by licensing the Comics Code logo to Graphitti Designs for use on t-shirts, but counterfeit versions appear to have substantially cut into the profits and the CMAA leadership apparently had little interest in enforcing, let alone registering, the mark.
Without more information, it would appear that the CMAA exists in a legal Phantom Zone, not fully living, not quite dead. I had planned on asking certain key individuals within DC if any plans are in place to file a plan of dissolution in accordance with Article 10 of the New York Not-for-Profit Corporations law, but it seems that the company's legal department has refused to allow anyone to respond to my inquiries.
Why DC?
In recent years new leadership at Marvel, DC and Archie apparently came to view the CMAA as a relic that was not a coherent part of a contemporary marketing strategy. By 2009 the organization had gradually withered away despite the best efforts of those committed to its survival. According to Ms. Koenig, it seems that DC was the only organization willing to take the records that remained, and even that was due primarily to the efforts of former DC publisher Paul Levitz.
While the Code remained on books from Bongo, Archie and DC for a short while after 2009, it's not clear that member companies were still paying their dues or paying anyone to manage it. According to Ms. Koenig, her associations management firm, The Kellen Company, continued to provide basic filing services on a pro bono basis.
As for the larger question of why the CMAA represented so few publishers, the CMAA's limited number of members has less to do with the size of the comics industry than the rigorous standards for qualification as a member of the CMAA. Under Article II.2 of the bylaws, voting membership was limited to firms that
(a) have been engaged wholly or in part in the publication of comic magazines continuously over the two (2) years prior to application,
(b) have published at least twenty-four (24) comic magazine issues during the twelve (12) months prior to application, and
(c) have agreed to pay the Association fees, dues and assessments.
This effectively ruled out small and even some mid-level publishers, particularly those that focus on graphic novels as opposed to the "comic magazines" now commonly referred to as floppies. It also marginalized online publishers and digital distributors, who might have helped make the trade organization more responsive to the interests of the rising generation. Seventy years ago, comics were the new media perceived as junk but shaping the future–by 2011, the merciless wheel of history had turned.
The irony of the CMAA's plan to limit membership to companies seriously committed to the comics industry is that the organization's fate was left to companies for whom the industry–and even comics themselves–became an afterthought. Once DC and Archie had shifted from being publishers of comics magazines to cross-platform IP farms, the CMAA's fate was sealed.
More on that–and what it means for the future–in my next post.

POSTED BY Mavy | March 11, 2015Label: Travel Tips
After months of stress planning your dream wedding, jetting off on the most romantic honeymoon can be the perfect way to escape the rest of the world and enjoy being a newlywed couple.
Honeymoons are a tradition that originated in early 19th century Britain, with the couple leaving during their reception. Now however, many couples wait until a few days after their wedding, so they can enjoy their big day to the fullest and be able to leave a little calmer and more relaxed.

The city is full of iconic monuments from the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral.

We'd recommend Chamonix in France, on the north side of the summit of Mont Blanc. There is spectacular scenery, some luxurious hotels and chalets to choose from, plus great food and wine to enjoy.

text: I put a set of Gator Mulch Blades on my Scag Tiger Cub today and they bog my engine down. It usually bogs a little when I engage the blades then recovers in a second or two, but with the Gator blades it takes 10-15 seconds to recover and it bogs down and will not recover when I try to actually cut grass. The blades seemed a little heavier than my Scag mulch blades when I was putting them on but I didn't think it would make this much difference. Any thoughts?

Government reporter Blake Aued, on the District 6 Athens-Clarke County Commission race:
We'll have (a) very interesting Athens-Clarke Commission (race) to follow: ... Red Petrovs versus Ed Robinson in District 6.
I know Petrovs far better than Robinson because I've been covering OneAthens (the local anti-poverty initiative), and I wasn't around for the 2004 election. This will be a race of contrasting ideas and styles where there's a clear-cut choice.
Petrovs is a tough-talking, no-nonsense kind of guy who is conservative, especially fiscally, but is driven by facts and not ideology. His voice would be unique on the commission. He could get stuck with the Chamber of Commerce tag - the kiss of death in recent elections - but he says the chamber's changed so much since (former president) Larry McKinney left that it's not such an albatross anymore.
Robinson, on the other hand, is positioning himself as the natural successor to (former District 6 Commissioner) Carl Jordan as a detail-oriented, hardworking progressive intellectual. I've heard he is a terrible campaigner, though, and county government insiders don't seem as excited about his candidacy as I would have expected. ...
Comment from Jacob Durden on the Constitution:
... (I)t takes an extremely educated mind to interpret the Constitution. The document was written by men with classical education and a knowledge of political history. Political history to your average person is knowing about the 2000 election scandal, which is hardly sufficient.

Sunderland coach Sam Allardyce has conceded that the pressure is on his side ahead of Tuesday's clash with Crystal Palace.
Sunderland remain in the bottom three after they suffered a 1-0 defeat to West Ham United on Saturday afternoon.
The Black Cats showed further signs of promise but another defensive mistake cost them a clean sheet and all three points.
With some difficult fixtures on the horizon, Allardyce has admitted that Tuesday's game against Palace is a now a must-win clash.
"We must hope that if we continue to play like that we'll get the victories we need very quickly," he said.
"We've made a massive pressure game for ourselves on Tuesday night when we play Palace at home and then it's Southampton away.
"We have to pick points up in both of those games because after that we don't play for two weeks and if the teams around us win then that distance becomes even greater and more pressure comes on us.
"The next two games we have to deliver at least four points, hopefully more, but we've put a lot of pressure on ourselves."
