Padres right-hander Ian Kennedy will miss his scheduled start Monday against the Braves because of a left oblique strain.
Left-hander Jason Lane will be selected from Triple-A El Paso to start in Kennedy's place. A corresponding roster move will be announced before Monday's game.
Kennedy is not expected to go on the disabled list or to miss more than one start. He suffered what the Padres are calling a "mild" strain on a swing he took Wednesday against the Cubs. Kennedy has since been playing catch but did not throw his usual side session.
Padres manager Bud Black said Kennedy will throw a side session Tuesday or Wednesday, with an eye on returning to the rotation next weekend.
"He could probably make (Monday's) start," Black said before Sunday, "but for me, when a guy's a little bit tweaked and a pitcher doesn't throw his side or doesn't feel normal, it's a little bit of a risk. But he's so close to being able to pitch that we said, 'Let's make sure,' and we just backed him off."
Wednesday in Chicago, Kennedy allowed three runs on three hits of the Padres' win. He struck out six while allowing three hits and a season-high five walks.
At the plate, he went 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout.
"His soreness rates very low on the pain threshold, but we're going to err on the side of caution," Padres Assistant General Manager A.J. Hinch said. "This would have happened regardless of if this was the (trade) deadline or two weeks ago or three weeks later. This could've been the middle of August, and we would've made the same decision."
At any rate, the particular timing of the Padres' determination sparked widespread conjecture. Kennedy, 29, is in the midst of a resurgent season, with a 3.66 earned-run average in 22 starts. He is averaging more than a strikeout per inning and has a better ERA on the road than at pitcher-friendly Petco Park. He has one year of club control remaining and, with Thursday's non-waiver trade deadline looming large, has been linked to a number of contenders.
Hinch, however, said that Kennedy's being scratched from a start was unrelated to his status as a trade target.
"He's a well-sought after pitcher because of his talent and his years of control," Hinch said. "I don't really want to comment on his trade status other than to say teams like him, we like him. We understand what he brings to the table. This particular reason for not having him pitch is based on trying to do what's best for the player."
Asked about the level of outside interest in Kennedy, Hinch said, "I would characterize it as strong. He's one of the better starting pitchers, but we like him on our team, too."
The Padres may prefer to allow their next GM to decide Kennedy's whereabouts in the offseason. While pending free-agent outfielder Chris Denorfia seems likely to be moved, Kennedy has one year of arbitration eligibility left.
The Padres expect to have a replacement for Josh Byrnes, who was fired June 22, on the job by early August.
"I think people need to keep in mind that Thursday, the July 31 deadline, is not the only time that players are acquired or moved," Hinch said. "It's been a busy few weeks for us. There's a possibility of things happening, and there's a strong possibility that nothing will. I think the last 48, 72 hours before the trade deadline are always very unpredictable."
Lane will be making his first major league start as a pitcher -- at the age of 37. One of the baseball season's truly unique stories, the left-hander appeared in two games with the Padres in June, throwing 4 1/3 scoreless innings.
The converted outfielder, who has a 4.67 ERA for El Paso, was an offense-only player for seven big-league seasons with the Astros and Padres.

Did you miss our first ever live web chat with LighterLife psychotherapist Mandy Cassidy? We asked for weightloss questions on Facebook and Twitter and Mandy was live online to provide her answers.
If you missed the live chat and have a question for Mandy you can post it on our Lighter Life Facebook wall or tweet it to us.
'I am my own worst enemy when it comes to sabotaging a day of healthy eating with a late night snack – how can I avoid it?'
What's happening later in the evening? How are you feeling that leads you to feel hungry? What is that feeling about?
'Evenings are spent cleaning up the kitchen and feeling hard done by. Ok if I avoid cleaning but leads to a very messy kitchen!'
I wonder if you feel angry? Some people eat in an attempt to manage their anger. Could this be you?
'Many people talk about controlling their eating and weight, but I think this is unhelpful to them. What's your view?'
Most people have to moderate what they eat but the idea of 'controlling' can be unhelpful – you risk feeling out of control. The word 'control' risks moving into all or nothing thinking.
'Where social media and dieters meet, are there too many conflicting views leaving dieters further frustrated?'
There are so many opinions – I don't blame you feeling frustrated. It's about listening to your own body and your own needs.
'I'm a sugar addict – I can't stop. How can I make myself cut down?'
Sugar sets off a cycle in our bodies that leads us to crave more. Notice when this cycle starts and avoid the first sugar hit. In a balanced diet, sugar is included naturally. The real problem is refined sugar that we eat in high quantities.
'If we know our behaviour upsets us why do we keep doing the same thing? It's like we can't help ourselves.'
Behaviour is a form of protection. Until you have a different way of protecting yourself, your behaviour is likely to continue.
'Why do I always want more food in the evenings?'
This is very common. Look at how you spend your evenings, what need is food serving at that time? It's not a physical hunger.
'I know I should always eat fruit but I always want crisps – how can I stop this?'
The minute you tell yourself not to eat crisps they become desirable. Banning a food in your head makes it even more desirable. Its fine to eat crisps on the odd occasion, but it's how many occasions that you need to be in control of.
'I have been overweight since I lost my little girl in a car accident. And this was ten years ago. I'm worried I wont be their for my 2 girls growing up. How can I make myself strong enough to do this?'
I suspect you have the strength to do this for your little girls already. You must remember what you are doing it for. Most mothers have more strength for their kids then they do for themselves. Remember that you can do this!
'Hi, I'm now at the weight I want. How can I get myself to not eat chocolate and continue to drink water?'
You may want chocolate for a long time to come. Notice that wanting is very different from needing. Your old habits are probably still lurking in the background.
As you manage your weight you are allowed chocolate in moderation. The trick is to notice when you want it and what's going on that might be emotional and not physical.

A beginning.
Two words that can mean many different things.
It's a hard question to answer, really. What is a beginning? Because with every beginning, there is an end. And with every end, there is a beginning. It's all one big cycle. Life goes on after you die. I always thought that meant others' lives, not my own. And it was right before I died that I realized what life was really about. It's not something you can put into words, it's more of a realization. More things pop out at you. The air, the water, the light, the colour. Oh, the colour. Such a beautiful thing this world is with colour. And I saw all the colour for the very first time right before I died. The real colour.
I wasn't supposed to remember anything. So why? Why did everything feel so familiar? Why was I dying inside for it to come back to me? Why did it come back to me? I didn't want any of this. I didn't want this kind of life. I wanted back who I used to be.
But want isn't enough in this world. That's the reason why I cried every night and didn't know why. I used to think the world was just black and white and someone needed to add a little colour to it. I wanted to be that person, but I couldn't.
Why? That's the big question in the world. And a very philosophical one, if you ask me. Why is anything in this world? I mean, if you think about it, it's really quite confusing. How did it all happen?
I know the answer. I know all the answers. It's something you will figure out too, when you die.
In this story, I can explain to you how I realized the answers. I can explain to you why I know the answers. But I will not tell you the actual answers.
Why? Well, I can tell you the answer to that one.

ABC News introduces 5.30pm bulletinJillian McHugh
Published: November 8 2012 - 7:47PMABC News is updating its nightly news offering by introducing a 5.30pm bulletin across the country.
ABC News is updating its nightly news offering by introducing a 5.30pm bulletin across the country.
"Planning is underway to launch a new national ABC news bulletin next year," ABC Perth news director Kim Jordan said.
"Details are yet to be nailed down, but it's a pretty exciting expansion of the ABC news offering."
Jordan explained the reason for the addition was to "give people the chance to connect with our high-end product at another time".
He declined to comment on where the bulletin would originate, but two independent sources have confirmed that the man behind the new bulletin would be Perth's own James McHale, who would read the live bulletin for the eastern states at 2.30pm WST, before reading the Perth live bulletin at 5.30pm WST.
The upcoming 5.30pm half-hour news will be in addition to the regular 7pm offering, which routinely ranks among the most-watched shows each night and averages around 150,000 viewers.
The 5.30pm addition will make it second to begin on the news menu each night, following Channel Ten's hour-long 5pm bulletin.

text: I am still torn as to what is the best way to do this so I'm turning to the experts for suggestions/advice: We are arriving one day prior to sailing...no problem here we plan on taking DME from the airport to BLT. My dilemma is from BLT to Port. So far the cheapest rate in towncar I found was 276.00 not including 27.60 tip x 2 according to the site. I am wondering if it would be cheaper to rent a car, which will allow us to make a stop at our leisure to buy wine for the ship and then park it the port. It will also provide us with a car on the way back. We are staying another week after sailing but do not anticipate needing a car at that time. Is it a waste of money to get a car just for this or cheaper than towncar? Also if where would we get a car once we check into BLT? Thanks!

When I was asked to make a list of the top five stories and/or athletes I covered this year, I had to make a list.
From basketball and wresting in January to football in December, this year's crop of high school teams and athletes were loaded with talent. Throw in the only professional sporting event in the Athens area, and my list was loaded in no time.
There were several games and athletes I left off this list, but these are the five that have carved a spot in my memory and will always be hard to beat.
The story that led Higgs, a transfer student from the Bahamas, to Athens Christian was interesting enough.
But he also happened to be a once-in-a-lifetime athlete.
On the basketball court, Higgs turned every game into a highlight reel. With his uncanny leaping ability, he could finish any fast break with dunks that repeatedly dropped jaws. He led the Eagles to the Class A semifinals and was named the Banner-Herald's basketball player of the year.
But his sport has always been track and field. He dropped jaws there, too.
At the Georgia Olympics, the state championships for track and field, Higgs won all three jumping events - long jump, triple jump and high jump - and set Class A records in the long jump and high jump.
He also won the Morris Bryant Award for the most outstanding athlete in all classes at the meet and was named the Banner-Herald's boys track and field athlete of the year.
Regardless of what team you cheer for, Higgs was one of those high school athletes that anyone could watch and enjoy. He has continued his career at Arkansas this year.
My hardest interview of the year came in the Gwinnett Arena in the traditional state wrestling meet.
Coming into the event, one of the big stories out of our area was Jefferson, as it always seems to be. This year, the defending state champs had a senior going for his fourth state title - an incredibly rare feat for a wrestler.
The Dragons have had three other wrestlers accomplish it, and their singlets are hanging up in their practice area. Talking to Fowler beforehand, it was clear he was excited about the meet, where he would be vying for the 152-pound Class AA title. He was clearly humbled by being so close to accomplishing something that only the greats had done.
"That would be so great," he said. "Those are some great wrestlers. They are just awesome."
In his title match against Swainsboro's Wade Farrow, Fowler lost in the fourth overtime, 5-3. He nearly had a title-clinching reversal in the third overtime. Farrow got a reversal in the closing second of the fourth.
Afterwards, I gave a reasonably emotional Fowler time to recompose before I went and talked to him about the heartbreaking loss. His demeanor was the exact opposite of the one he had before the match. He didn't know what to say.
"I thought it was a dream," said Fowler, who sat quietly by himself for most of the rest of the night. "I just couldn't believe it."
As usual, the Athens Regional Foundation Classic provided some excitement for those in attendance on Sunday.
In a final round covered in moisture due to rain the previous night, 24-year old Australian Michael Sim tied a course record with a bogey-free 63 to take the lead with only a small group of golfers behind him. The tournament looked to be his.
Patrick Sheehan took an outright lead on the fifth hole, but let it slide on the back nine. By the 16th hole, he was two strokes behind Sim. But the 39-year old was not done.
Sheehan birdied two of his final holes to force a playoff with Sim, who was waiting anxiously on the driving range while his opponent finished his round.
Even after the first shots of the playoff, which started on the 18th tee, it looked like Sim again would take the tournament. Sheehan pushed his tee shot to the right, where it bounced off the cart path and settled in a muddy ditch.
But Sim left his approach shot 40 feet away, all but eliminating a birdie possibility. Sheehan's approach, however, landed 22 feet from the cup - a putt he eventual drained for the win.
Sim went on to win three Nationwide Tour events in 2009, earning his PGA Tour card. The Athens Regional Foundation Classic was Sheehan's best finish of the year.
When veteran radio man David Kopp said the word "overtime," I knew everyone at Red Devil Stadium that night was in for a wild finish.
The Apalachee at Loganville game was moving along smoothly. With both teams relying heavily on the run, the game had gone by quickly and I was feeling comfortable with my ability to make deadline. Then Kopp jinxed everything and the Red Devils put together one final drive.
Both teams had been running wild, with Loganville's Storm Johnson piling up 271 yards and four touchdowns and Apalachee's Jon Lee rushing for 172 yards and three touchdowns. The Wildcats took an eight-point lead with barely a minute and a half left against the Red Devils.
Loganville struck back quickly for a touchdown and a two-point conversion with 44 seconds remaining to force overtime, 35-35. That was when I officially kissed my easy deadline goodbye.
Apalachee scored on the first play in overtime, a 15-yard run by John Ansley. Loganville responded with three runs by Johnson, not surprisingly, to match the score. Instead of going for the tie, the Red Devils went for the win.
The Wildcats finally managed to stop Johnson as the running back went up the middle and was stopped a yard short of the goal line. Apalachee's players and fans stormed the field (pun unintended) to celebrate the 42-41 victory.
The win clinched a playoff spot for the Wildcats, but both teams ended up in the postseason. After the game, Apalachee coach Shane Davis was nearly speechless, moved to tears by the outcome.
Few people expected Clarke Central's run through the playoffs, certainly not me. But I know of one person that did.
After an interview at the Gladiators fieldhouse before the second round of the Class AAAA playoffs, I was walking back to my car when I saw senior linebacker Devante Derricotte. I asked him in passing how he felt about the playoffs so far. His response went something like this:
"We are going to get that ring," he proclaimed, referring to a state championship ring.
I can't honestly say I took his claim seriously, but he did - and apparently so did the rest of his team. Just a few weeks later, the Gladiators were in the Georgia Dome playing for their fourth state title.
With less than 12 minutes left, Clarke Central had a 9-7 lead and showed everyone in the Dome that night that they could finish their Cinderella run to a state title. After a shaky opening that saw Sandy Creek march down the field, the Gladiators defense regrouped and shut the Fighting Patriots down.
Clarke Central's offense also struggled, however, settling for three field goals in the first three quarters. But the flood gates opened in the fourth quarter and Sandy Creek scored three touchdowns to put its 29-15 win away.
The Gladiators' exciting run offered little consolation that night, but there wasn't a Clarke Central fan who wasn't proud of the team, regardless.

Sissoko wants Toulouse stay
In-demand midfielder Moussa Sissoko has reiterated that he will be staying with Toulouse.
By Giscard Gourizro
Last Updated: 05/08/09 1:03pm
In-demand midfielder Moussa Sissoko has reiterated that he will be staying with Toulouse this summer, but admits he could move elsewhere in the future.
The 19-year-old has been linked with a £12million switch to Tottenham, while a number of other Premier League clubs have been credited with an interest.
Toulouse, though, are determined to keep hold of their star asset and have resisted the urge to sell as they prepare for an assault on the Ligue 1 title in the new season.
Sissoko has previously insisted that he will not be leaving before the 2009/10 campaign, and he maintains that stance, but he confesses his future is uncertain.
He said: "I am staying here. My club is Toulouse. At present, I am secure. But in the future, I don't know."

Surprise returned the favor Thursday with a 5-4 win at Salt River, despite a furious ninth-inning rally that came up short.
Down 5-1 heading into their last at-bat, the Rafters scored three runs, but Chris Owings struck out to end the game. Matt Davidson's solo shot and Jake Marisnick's two-run homer had cut the deficit to one.
The Rafters did not have that many opportunities against the Surprise pitching staff, going 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position.
Nationals prospect Anthony Rendon played third base, batting second. He went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI while improving his batting average to .328. His RBI double got the scoring started in the first inning.
Matt Skole, Jason Martinson and Brian Goodwin did not play.
Paul Demny tossed 1 1/3 innings in relief. He allowed two hits, one run and struck out two in facing six hitters. His ERA is now 2.77.
Salt River fell to 13-11, but benefited from Scottsdale's fourth straight loss, so the Rafters' East Division lead remains at 1 1/2 games.
The Rafters host the last place Mesa Solar Sox (8-16) today at 2:35 p.m.
Instant Analysis: Rendon again with an extra base hit and Demny strikes out two, but not much else for the Nationals in this one. Would have been nice to see what Goodwin, Martinson (although he is on the taxi squad) and Skole could have done against the Saguaros pitching staff.
Salt River managed 12 hits but only had four major scoring opportunities and got all of their offense from the two homers and the Rendon double. Still, this team is powerful enough to win the division and should take it to a Mesa team that has floundered to 16 losses.

Toyota Corolla Levin Seca
This is generation nine of the Corolla and it has been an immensely successful seller for Toyota since its 2001 launch. The Levin model name denotes a mildly sporty look and Seca is Toyota-speak for hatchback.
Levin is mechanically identical to all the other models in the Corolla range bar the hyped-up Sportivo, so it is powered by a DOHC 16-valve 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 100 kW of power and 171 Nm of torque.
The standard transmission is a four-speed manual while the four-speed auto, which lacks any sort of semi-manual mode, is an $1850 option.
Built in South Africa, this generation of Corolla is due for replacement in 2006 and it is showing its age despite the big sales. The interior is pretty plain and plasticky but the saving grace is the excellent rear seat space.
The driving is also in need of a pep-up. The engine is a revver (and also noisy) but there is little dynamism to the handling, while the ride feels underdone. Equipment-wise, the Levin gets dual front and side airbags and ABS with EBD and brake assist, remote central locking, air-conditioning, 15-inch alloy wheels and six-CD audio.
Price: From $27,390
For: Well built, reliable.
Against: Aged.
Rating: 3 stars (see ratings key below).
Mazda3 Maxx Sport
At $25,555 this is the bargain of the group, even if the Pulsar Q is cheaper. That's because the 3 is undoubtedly a good car - reflected in its third place in overall sales for the category - but also because of the depth and quality of its equipment.
This is the only car here with a 2.0-litre engine, and the 104 kW/181 Nm DOHC 16-valve unit does a good, spirited job of pulling the Japanese-built 3 along, whether mated to the standard five-speed manual or $2000 optional four-speed auto with semi-manual mode.
The 3 Maxx Sport is also a deft handler, with light, precise steering, excellent grip and the ability to ride the bumps with aplomb. Its dynamic quality is the best of the group.
Then there's equipment, which includes front, side and curtain airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, air-conditioning, six-CD audio with six speakers, a bodykit including rear spoiler, 16-inch alloys and fog lights.
The 3 hatch is an unusual looker with a prominent snout and reverse-angled C-pillar that might not be to everyone's taste. Inside, it's very sporty with separate Alfa-esque instrument dials.
But the interior is also unacceptably noisy, with conversations between the front and second-row passengers difficult at highway speeds.
Price: from $25,555
For: Light, precise handling, willing engine, value.
Against: Noisy.
Rating: 4 stars.
Holden Astra CDXi
The European-built Astra is the number-two-selling small car and the CDXi is its flagship. It is also the most expensive car here but with a long list of standard equipment, including front, side and curtain airbags, ABS with brake assist, climate control, 16-inch alloy wheels, a leather steering wheel, six-CD audio with seven speakers, cruise control, fog lights and a trip computer.
Passengers are well looked after by an excellent ride, comfy seats and best-in-class noise isolation. The CDXi is also a good handler with clean and neat steering that makes it fun to drive, although it can't quite match the excellent Mazda3 for dynamic quality. What lets the Astra down is the carry-over 90 kW/170 Nm 1.8-litre four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine that was quite lively in the old Astra, but battles hard against the extra weight of this generation. That means the CDXi is neither quick nor thrifty in either standard five-speed manual or with the $2000 optional four-speed auto (no semi-manual mode either).
Price: From $28,990
For: Comfort, space, quietness.
Against: Most expensive, slow.
Rating: 3.5 stars.
Nissan Pulsar Q
The Pulsar is just about done, but it is bowing out respectably, with sales high, thanks to a price cut. Early in 2006 Nissan will relaunch its small-car attack with a Japanese-built small car called the Tiida, which will come as both sedan and hatch based on the same platform as the next Renault Clio (also due next year).
But for now we make do with the British-built Pulsar hatch, which, confusingly, shares little visual identification with the Japanese-built Pulsar sedan. They do share the same medium-small plat-form and a 1.8-litre four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine that produces 92 kW and 161 Nm and mates to either a five-speed manual or $1900 optional four-speed auto transmission.
The Q is quite an acceptable handler on smooth roads but when the conditions deteriorate its firmish European-oriented suspension tends to make things a little uncomfortable. Only average knee-room for rear seat passengers.
The Q is the cheapest car here but that doesn't necessarily make it the best value, with only dual front airbags as standard. ABS with EBD and brake assist, air-conditioning, 16-inch alloys, central remote locking, a leather steering wheel and single-CD audio with just four speakers are also standard.
Price: From $23,990
For: Drives nicely on smooth roads.
Against: Looks, feels and is old.
Rating: 2.5 stars
Prices and details correct at publication
5 stars: Dream wheels
4 stars: Recommended
3 stars: On the ball
2 stars: Just transport
1 star: Very ordinary

I stopped by a new Tibetan fast food place this weekend. Unfortunately, I did not record the name of the restaurant, but it's located on that short block where the Indian movie theater and subway entrance is.
They had both chaat and Tibetan food, probably more chaat then Tibetan. I'm not sure why. On the counter was a Chai dispenser and a thermos. The thermos was corked and had Tibetan-style salted tea inside. Both types of tea were good. I'm assuming they were free, but maybe I was charged for it. It was all very informal.
As far as I can tell, the Tibetan food you can get are all dumplings: beef, chicken or vegetarian. I tried the beef. The dumplings were steamed, I believe. The dumpling skin was light and too delicate, but the beef inside was pleasantly greasy and tasty. It came with a Tibetan hot sauce that was quite nice.
Dumplings were about $6.50 total, and the staff was very pleasant. If you are in Jackson Heights, and want a meaty snack, this is a pretty good way to go. It suited the cold, snowy weather perfectly.

Gay and Feminist theatre establishes a strong presence in Canada.
Théâtre Expérimental des Femmes/TEF is founded by a feminist collective that includes Pol Pelletier, one of the cofounders of the Théâtre Expérimental de Montréal (1975). Performing in her own work, La lumière blanche, Pelletier. She was also one of the author/actors in the seminal feminist work: La nef des sorcières (translated as Clash of Symbols) at Le Théâtre du Nouveau Monde (1976). A series of six women's monologues, confronting an audience it openly treats as sexist, misogynist, and elitist, this causes a sensation at its creation due to its bluntness about the most personal aspect of women's experience, and its unconventional nudity. However, it is also praised for the poetic quality of its language and its simplicity of staging in presenting the lives of six almost-stereotypical women, of different ages and from different social strata.
At much the same time the openly gay playwright, actor and director Sky Gilbert founds Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto. As the company's artistic director, he will broaden its mandate to include stylistically experimental plays, as well as work with specifically queer themes. Though his work with Buddies in Bad Times (as well as with the feminist Nightwood Theatre), Gilbert has been instrumental in redefining Gay/Queer theatre, and in effect has also become playwright-in-residence for his own company, frequently acting in his own plays, which he also directs. These include Suzie Goo: Private Secretary (1991) which won of the Dora Mavor Moore Award, Play Murder (1993), Strange Little Monsters (1995), Jim Dandy and Ten Ruminations on an Elegy (both 1996), as well as plays produced at other theatres, such as Schubert Lied (Factory Theatre, 1998), The Birth of Casper G. Schmidt (One Yellow Rabbit – the Calgary transgressive, alternative theatre company – 2000).

text: Hi fellow members. I have just bought a hosting account with plenty of space, bandwitdth and unlimited domains. I plan to buy a lot of keyword-rich cheap info-domains and assign those to the hosting account. Yesterday I started the 7-day trial of Wordtracker. I have been toying around with the tool, but I want to be more effective and get the most out of my 5½ days left. How would you suggest I organize this project best?


text:
I sat within a lively circle of women last week and this thought came out like a lightning bolt into the conversation:
"I wish I got paid for all the inner work I do."
I mean, really.
What if every time I had a realization or painfully grounded truth integrated into the fabric of my being, someone ran over with a blank check signed to me, just for all the hard work put in?
How much would I write it for?
What's my mastery worth to me?
I'm not sure yet. There are days that I'm in love with this path. I notice the shapes of clouds in the sky and my kid's incessant requests for this and that don't bother me so much. Days when I put on a red dress and take my irks and resistances to journal writing with my favorite flowy pen or to the canvas with strong, magenta streaks that lead me to wholeness or maybe just a little more ease.
And there are days when I want to go back to sleep, take the blue pill instead of the red, and not have to deal with Saturn returns or soul-combusting downloads.
Those days when I want an easy life and forget that what I signed up for was something more marvelous and more satisfying than anything a sleepy existence could offer are the days I'm most grateful for my friends.
If you've been on a journey to live authentically for a bit now (er, taken that red pill) you've likely had your share of relationships. And, if you're like me, this quest for like-hearted connection is sort of a THING and therefore has led you to more experiences of 'no' or 'meh' than 'yes, more please'.
You know what I mean, right? Those relationships you look back on with crazy honor and gratitude for the certain version of 'you' they held up in the mirror. The needy you. The unsure you. The not-so-whole you.
I treasure those experiences. It's through connection that I strengthen my sense of identity, purpose, and overall awe of the how this life thing works.
For me, relationships are often the best indicator of where my personal wiring is incomplete, or perhaps, totally outdated and in need of serious love. Like when I first began to feel my passion for spiritual service in my body, it was pure electricity. I went on google and Facebook and meetups to unite with souls who could join me, and in turn, help me understand what to do with this fire.
(It went pretty well. And then also it didn't. Like that one time. But we all have stories like this!)
The truth is that I'm learning a new superpower for mastery that I could have never, ever learned outside of giving my power away one too many times to people who had no business carrying it for me.
That power is: DISCERNMENT.
I know, it's not very sexy.
This word itself has felt like a tight-collared preacher at a pulpit or a study hall monitor looking down at me with glasses sliding off her nose. It's seemingly restricting and lackluster. But I'm ever-so-slowly turned on by its magic and its sole function to remind me who I am and what I want as I create a magic carpet life full of wonder and structure, fire and earth.
I simply cannot have that kind of life without friends who see me and (constantly) call me into it.
Which leads me to this infamous quote by the late Jim Rohn:
"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."
Economically speaking, it's based on a theory that the result of any given situation will be the average of all outcomes.
So how does that play out in connections with others? Especially for a woman like you, who has awakened to your magic and on fire to live it out, no matter what?
Can it be possible that the only thing that matters is who you surround yourself with?
If that's the case, then how can one become more intentional about who to align with? Where does one start?
That's where discernment comes whooshing in.
I've seen this unfold, often dramatically in my own life. As I shifted, my crew did too. There's endless letting go and moving on. And for someone who is very concerned about being nice about all of it and very afraid of losing love, it's been hard. (In those seasons I could have really used that blank check for the hours I put in!)
I had to use discernment to elevate who I was in the relationship… I had to increase my value in the energy exchange. Knowing, trusting, and embodying my personal power has changed the people that have showed up in my circle.
TWEET: We get results (happiness, love, connection, energy) when we know what value we are bringing to the relationship.
The beautiful thing about being a human is that we SO MUCH want love. The hard thing about that is how often we think we have to hide ourselves to get it. (If you've ever thought: "I don't want to be too much. Too little. Too soft. Too hard," then you know what I mean.)
Ask yourself:
How would my closest relationships shift if I showed up in my true power?
You could simmer on that question your whole life, but let's try an exercise to bring it into form.
Think of the five people you spend the most time with. I'm not talking about your life-long bestie you catch up with a few times a year. This is the five women you spend the MOST TIME WITH and give most of your energy to. (If you're a parent, don't count your kids here! Consider these as your adult peers and/or partners.)
Go ahead and write down each of their names.
For each person, consider each question honestly:
How much of me is hiding in this connection?
Am I in awe of this person?
What are my expectations in this connection?
How do they (specifically) make me better? What value do they bring me?
Now. What if there were people in your five that you simply don't want there/would like to replace with a more supportive energy?
Again, discernment!
TWEET: Getting what you want starts with loving who you are.
Operating from a higher love—one that demands that you surround yourself with like energies instead of karmic, self-serving, obligatory ones—will get easier when you feel worthy enough to receive elevated, intimate connections.
It's a lifelong journey, this business of self-love. But eventually, having women who see us in our purest space is non-negotiable. We need them like the air we breathe– because of who we are when we are with them. And awareness of how thoroughly our soul thrives in connection? It's our yellow-brick road to getting there.
Try this the next time you're around one of your five people:
Be mindful of WHY you are with them.
Be mindful of HOW you feel when you're with them.
Be mindful of WHO you ultimately are in their presence.
If you find yourself modulating your magic in order to create harmony (whatever that pattern looks like for you), bring yourself love in that moment and simply be aware of that tendency. Love, through awareness, will work wonders in doing the work for you.
As you shift, the kinks tend to work themselves out. Glorious, isn't it?
And now, while you're at it, why not create a list or 'criteria' for who you want your HIGH-VIBE FIVE to be? I created one myself (just for the five women in my life) and have it printed and posted in a special place in my home. I light candles to my five. I send them love and gratitude for their mastery and all the unique ways they show me who I am. Some of you reading this might even be one of them!
Here's my list. Create yours and share it with me here. Seriously, I adore hearing from you!
1. She opens me to wonder.
I'm here to grow myself, so my inner world can be quite volcanic. Or tornadic. Lava and cyclones—chaotic stuff. So yes, my inner circle HAS to enchant the magic in me. And, also, bring the perfect amount of irreverence to the table.
2. She fans to flame my God-light.
When it flickers, she's got a blow torch. Or, if I need to feel small and unseen to the rest of the world, she's there to create a quiet space with me. Either way, I never have to hide my brilliance from her. She's big enough to shine with me.
3. She's aware of her purpose in my life.
She knows what she's got to offer to the space and she BRINGS IT. Unapologetically. Especially when I don't want her to. Those times I need it most.
4. She takes responsibility for her personal growth.
I don't do whining. Not from my six year old, and certainly not my grown-woman friend. She's the Queen of her story and she owns her shit. And she's so beautiful doing it.
5. She offers me the treasures of her heart.
Diamonds. That's what she gives. She speaks and counsels from things that move her and rouse the center of her being, not just a book she just happened to read or something she fleetingly saw on TV. Her passion is her gift to me and it is priceless.
So how does your list feel? Are you wanting more women in your circle who meet your needs in relationship? Take a moment to tell me about it or download my free Magic Formula Discovery Guide to learn more about your unique destiny type and how it can TOTALLY elevate your inner circle.
To your infinite magic!

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's connection with 'Padmavati' continues
Sanjay Leela Bhansali may have begun working on his next film, Padmavati, with buzz that Ranveer Singh will headline the cast. But it is not exactly a subject he hasn't tackled before.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali
In 2008, Bhansali had directed a musical titled Padmavati, for the French opera, Theatre du Chatelet.
The filmmaker was able to win accolades despite a cast consisting of mainly French artistes, who could not comprehend English.
Years later, he is retelling the story of the queen of Chittor, Rani Padmavati, and Allauddin Khilji, who was smitten by her beauty.

Atlanta Braves (16-17 Road: 11-8) at New York Mets (18-14 Home: 12-7) 1:10 pm
Jo-Jo Reyes (0-2 5.48) vs. Jonathan Niese (0-0 3.00)
TV: SNY Radio: WFAN
What to watch: The Mets and Braves play the rubber game of the series today before the Mets leave for San Francisco. I saw Reyes pitch for the Braves a few times last season and he didn't look good at all. His stats appear to show that he isn't having much more success this season either. Niese had a good game going 6 innings and giving up 2 runs in his season debut starting for Oliver Perez.

I feel yucky. Yup, yucky, and bleh. Those are about the only words to describe me right now. I'm exhausted, tired, stuffed, bloated and overall YUCKY!
I ate too much every day since the day before Thanksgiving. That's how many days? Ummmm *counting on fingers* 4, FOUR days of being out of routine, having more temptation and totally just eating what I wanted, when I wanted it. Is it possible to gain 25 points in 4 days? Because that's how I feel right now.
Tomorrow is a new day. I returned home tonight. I don't care how tired I am tomorrow, I AM going to a Weight Watchers meeting, I AM working out and I AM going to journal in loss mode for the next few weeks.
For those that don't know my "loss mode" is when I go back to basics with Weight Watchers and Flex points. I start tracking weekly points and keeping a food journal 7 days a week. Normally I do my version of maintenance where I track only during the week and just try to stay under 30 points.
So for as much as I got off track this past week I'm not letting it get me down. Don't beat yourself up, it's not worth it. I lived it up for thanksgiving and now I'm home. I know what needs to be done and now I'm going to do it. It's that simple!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I'll be back tomorrow with a full report on my official weigh in (oh god, I'm trying not to think about it) and first food journal of the week.
Have a great night!

Real poor performance in this game, which Enrique said:. "I never said Real Madrid will succumb to any opponent, but today we did better than their performance specifically, today we played more efficiently, which what we do better than the other place. "
Enrique and Roberto Iniesta also commented on the performance:.

Kindle vs Sony...?
Published by spklvr in the blog spklvr's blog. Views: 104
My birthday is coming up, and I told my dad I want an ebook reader. He prefers that I tell him what to get rather than surprising me and giving me something I don't want.
The problem is, do I want the Kindle or Sony prs-350? I think I have decided to go with Sony. First of all, Norwegian Kindle buyers has terrible rights. However, kindle has internet... free at that. Which means I could just download straight from the store, and I'm under the impression that the Kindle store has a lot more books. Apparently the Kindle is also sturdier, but I've also heard the screen is extremely sensitive and easily broken? Kindle also don't have a touch screen as far as I understand.
The Sony prs-350 has no internet, which means I have to download on my computer and then put the books in. Not really a big issue though... probably a plus. If I know myself correctly, it wouldn't feel like spending money on the kindle, and I wouldn't think twice about spending any. Also, touch screen. Big plus. Sony can also read more formats, and as a buyer I have more rights since they are sold through Norwegian companies. The Sony is smaller too, which is nice. I've read it's harder to read on the Sony than the Kindle, but I've compared and can't tell much of a difference (though I do see it).
In the end, the girlish side of me ended up deciding. How is that?
Because the Sony prs-350 is PINK!!! IT'S SO CUTE! I WANT IT! NOW!!!!
*cough* So that concludes that I suppose... unless someone has something else to add?

State Senate panel OKs bill on medical marijuana
ALBANY – Legalizing the use of medical marijuana passed a crucial hurdle Tuesday when the Senate Health Committee approved a bill allowing its use by patients with certain health conditions and under tightly regulated growing conditions.
The vote is the furthest that the measure has ever gotten in the Senate, where it has died year after year following passage in the Assembly. But this year, it gained momentum with a push by a growing coalition of patient and medical groups, and had the political advantage of being sponsored by Sen. Diane J. Savino, a hard-driving lawmaker from Staten Island who is part of a small coalition of independent Democrats who rule the Senate with Republicans.
The measure now moves to the Senate Finance Committee. If it makes it through that panel and goes to the floor, its passage is certain, Savino has said, because she has at least 40 votes in the 63-member chamber.
While the Senate Finance Committee has the numbers to kill the bill, it is all but certain that the issue will become part of the end-of-session horse-trading that comes in the middle of June on all sorts of legislation as the 2014 session heads to a close.
The Senate version has been heavily amended from past measures that stalled, including banning homegrown marijuana, limiting it to specific medical conditions and allowing up to 20 manufacturers that will have to take specific precautions in an effort to keep the drug off the black market.
The Senate version would ban smoking of medical marijuana for people younger than 21. There are oil-based forms of the drug that some children with serious seizure issues have turned to in Colorado and California.
"In the end, smoking may be the only way that some people can achieve the relief that medical marijuana can provide, and I don't think we should have a blanket prohibition on it," Savino told her colleagues during a hearing Tuesday.
But Sen. Martin J. Golden, R-Brooklyn, a former New York City police officer, said that medical marijuana will be legalized someday but that it should not be now. He said the federal Food and Drug Administration should act before New York State does.
The measure passed the Health Committee by a 9-8 vote, with the sole Republican vote coming from Sen. William J. Larkin Jr., an 86-year-old retired Army lieutenant colonel who represents West Point in the Mid-Hudson Valley; he saw combat duty in World War II and the Korean War and has been a state legislator for 35 years.
"To pick up Sen. Larkin was tremendous," said Gabriel Sayegh, state director of the Drug Policy Alliance, which has coordinated the push for the measure for years.
Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia have legalized some form of medical marijuana dispensing.
The Assembly has long passed medical marijuana legalization and is all but certain to go along with anything that the Senate ends up passing.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said his administration would begin a limited pilot program, with fewer than a couple of dozen hospitals, based on a 1980 New York law that approved, but never implemented, the use of medical marijuana. That law is more restrictive than the measure passed by the Health Committee on Tuesday. The 1980 law also envisions marijuana being obtained partly through drugs confiscated by police in raids. Health officials today, and even the State Police in 1980, called that idea unworkable and dangerous for users, given the unknown ingredients in confiscated drugs.
The new measure by Savino, she said, "would create the tightest, most regulated program in the nation." She noted that the prescription process would be highly regulated and that only certain serious health conditions would be eligible for treatment with the drug.
"What we've done is adopt the best practices from other states and rejected the worst," she told her colleagues.
The Senate hearing room was packed with advocates of the bill. Critics have dismissed the measure as a dangerous step to eventual legalization of all marijuana use in New York.
Savino said the safeguards include giving a preference for participation in the program to manufacturers who have relationships with distributors to better protect against the drug falling into the black market. Every plant grown at one of the 20 manufacturers in New York would have a bar code to track it as it goes from farm to distributor to patient.
"We need to make sure patients have access to a clean product that they can trust and that their doctors can trust," Savino said.
The measure has received an added push this year by parents of children who are afflicted with rare seizure conditions, including a number of families from Western New York who have told their stories to The Buffalo News and have threatened to move to Colorado later this year if New York does not legalize medical marijuana.
Colorado and California have legalized special oil-based marijuana for children – with the compound that gets people high all but removed – and some parents have provided anecdotal reports of initial success in reducing instances of seizures in their children.
Sayegh said he believes that the Senate Finance Committee offers fewer hurdles than the Health Committee, which he called "one of the biggest obstacles we've faced" in the current push that has been stepped up this year. He said his group has not yet received clear signals from Cuomo's office about the Savino bill, which he said also has been the work of the Assembly sponsor, Richard N. Gottfried, D-Manhattan, chairman of the Assembly Health Committee.
The issue has received increasing GOP support this year in the Senate. With Larkin, there are now at least six Senate Republicans who support the measure, including Sens. George D. Maziarz, of Newfane, and Mark J. Grisanti, of Buffalo.
Interestingly, gone from the short debate was past criticism by some lawmakers that medical marijuana would send a message to young people that the smoking of marijuana is acceptable. Instead, there was criticism that the state was jumping ahead of the federal government or that the system to run the distribution of medical marijuana would be difficult to create.
Among those closely watching Tuesday's vote were companies that grow marijuana in other states and have hired lobbyists in New York. "Today, there are thousands of seriously ill New Yorkers who should be more optimistic than they were yesterday," said GAIA Plant Based Medicine, a Colorado firm.
The bill would permit marijuana's use to treat 20 "serious conditions," which include cancer, AIDS, traumatic brain injury, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and other "severe debilitating or life-threatening" conditions.

Cagliani" lower right for Luigi Cagliani.Luigi Cagliani was an Italian Impressionist who worked in the first half of the 20th century. Italian sources note that he was active in Lombardy, which helps explain his penchant for lakeside scenes. He also loved to paint scenes set in Venice. Dino Bonari, a critic involved in the Society of Independent Art in Milan, wrote in 1944 that Cagliani's paintings were " delicate and moving ," romantic in almost a 19th century sense. -Source: AskArt Dimensions: Framed: 23"L x 2"W x 19"H Actual: 16"L x 12"H.

Social Networks: Virtual Organize It, Stupid!
Social Networks: Virtual Organize It, Stupid!
by Pierre Coupet
Great Investment of Time & Effort
You spend a great deal of time joining social networks, reviewing the background of other interesting individuals, and inviting them to become a contact and part of your personal network. In certain cases, you go through the additional effort of setting up and administering your own group, write comments and articles and, in some cases, prepare and send out a periodic newsletter. In no time at all, you reach a major milestone, having developed a network of hundreds to thousands of contacts. You are very excited and proud of your achievements and, in some cases, send out a major announcement to everyone in your network trumpeting the good news regarding the surge in your group's membership total and how great it is.
The Big Question
And then you ask yourself the big question, "Where do I go from here?" You feel like you've reached a dead end and, if you're like most, you try to engage your contacts; ask them to actively participate and contribute content, etc. And, if you are an exception to the rule, you schedule some local, face-to-face, paid or free networking or business events. At the end of the day, after all has been said and done, all you're left with, at best, from your social networking efforts are mediocre or meager results relative to the astounding amount of available opportunities that the virtual environment-internet-Web 2.0 has to offer--that is, of course, assuming you're one of the extraordinary social networkers out there; and, if you are like most others, all you are left with are downright disappointing results. And, unfortunately, that's where it all ends.
The Bigger Question
Which brings us to the bigger question, "Whatever happened to the promise of the Web and Web 2.0?" Never before in the history of mankind have we been so interconnected. We are no longer limited by time, distance, geography, human and capital resources, and collaboration tools. The sky is the limit! We are only limited by our efforts and imagination; the extent of our willingness to break down the natural walls of resistance to change; and our willingness to explore new thoughts and concepts before they are widely accepted. And yet, the most that we attempt to make out of the tools and resources that have been made available to us is to try to set up local face-to-face meetings.
The Ultimate Question
Which now leaves us with the ultimate question, "So what is the missing link?" However, that being said, this one question opens up a pandora box of related questions such as: What else can we do, or should be doing, in order to take advantage of the almost limitless amount of opportunities that are available to us in this wonderful and absolutely amazing era? Are there any currently available solutions? Are there any emerging schools of thought on that subject?
The Ultimate Answer: Virtual Organize It!
Well, the ultimate answer lies within the virtual organization management discipline. Virtual organization management provides you with a series of best-next practices, policies and procedures for operating in a virtual environment and for managing a virtual organization. Virtual organization management is highly flexible, being that you can virtual organize at any of the following levels of an organizational structure: (1) an individual level, (2) a team level, (3) a group level, (4) a department level, (5) a division level, (6) a social network level and, last but not least, (7) an organization level. With respect to an organization, it can be either of the following: (i) any free standing organization, (ii) a joint venture, (iii) an association, (iv) a consortium or (v) a partnership.
Although social networks provide you with one wing -- which is: the tools you need to effortlessly interconnect on a global scale -- what is sorely needed is the other wing -- which is: virtual organization management -- that you must have in order to fly and soar high up above in this sky of limitless opportunities. So what are you waiting for? Virtual Organize It!

Thanks a million for a great newsletter, article and concept, which is, because of "some funny reason", very much within the field of my interests. I see it should be in the interest of every single existing and new potential members of SICU SSGN.
I think this is the perfect place to take the freedom to introduce some of the backgrounds of SICU SSGN. I have written this to give you all a better idea of what the SICU context is all about, and in what kind of a framework you have been given an opportunity to co-operate as a global partner, member, sponsor, collaboration partner and/or an individual client.
SICU is like a living organism. In the end of every nerve fiber, there are individuals who are connected with the nerve center, the mobile head office and processor operating in Helsinki and in the world wide web.
Symbiosis can be defined as a close association between two different types of organisms in a community. In the SICU Symbiosis" the two organisms in question are SICU (Synergy Integrated - Connects the Unconnected) representing the registered marketing and brand name of my versatile business activities, and SICU SSG (SICU Synergy Solutions Group) representing a globally active virtual organization.
The background of the SICU brand name, slogan and symbol is Synergialaitos.Com ("Synergy Society") and its philosophy, the Synergysophy. Synergialaitos.Com was founded back in 1999 as the marketing name of two companies: T & M Project Management and Tomcom Marketing Communication Oy founded in 1991 and 1996.
It was all about to connect two organizations into one, and to cultivate strong associations about an entirely new multifunctional organization form operating in the intersection of marketing communication and project management in order to make a difference, and to generate attention and interest among potential clients, including commercial and non-profit organizations, marketing agencies, the media, institutions, federations, and among professionals and producers representing different professional disciplines.
The idea to build-up a virtual organization, starting from 1999, grew-up as a result of my professional experiences as an entrepreneur since 1986, and as a partner of divergent AD & PR-agencies, and as a marketing director & manager of a few commercial organizations and the media, where I simply felt to be trapped in a box.
On the other side I have had the opportunity to build-up my own work groups and teams in order to create, develop and execute divergent events, projects and operations in order to solve problems of individual clients, which has actually been much more successful and cost-effective for the clients than the ones I worked on in the traditional organizations in Finland mentioned above.
Because of the lack of effective networking tools, the "Synergy Society" started to operate on a regional basis in Finland in where my professional contact circle was large enough in order to find the right people to work on almost any task at hand.
When I got an invitation to join openBC (XING) launched in Finland in August 2004, I was more than enthused. It was exactly the tool I needed to branch-out and internationalize my activities I had been working on for five (5) years. By this Synergialaitos.Com was re-named as SICU in 2005 after a quick process of differentiation, brand building and internationalization.
SICU is not only about a traditional company, and SICU SSG not only about a typical virtual organization. It's all about a concept whole, brand and framework including an amount of supportive elements melted into one in order to be utilized e.g. as meeting places, advertising spaces, and communication channels. It is within this context we communicate and promote SICU and its' global partners and members, and their services, products and brands in the spirit of Give-to-Get and AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire and Action).
Its here we make a major difference!
SICU is a multifunctional organization, which can be perceived even as a Global Service-Cluster and Think tank who can form its own organizations for single clients whenever and wherever needed. In essence, this is an application of the virtual organization - a fluid grouping of professionals and organizations in order to optimally address the task at hand. A prime agency differential is SICU's ability to hire, train, and support strategic and tactical creative talent, and to use our own marketing channels to support the client's needs.
SICU Synergy Solutions Group (SICU SSG) is a Virtual Organization, a Strategic Alliance and a Self-Organizing-System covering a broad range of collaborations in where SICU members and global partners combine their core competencies to accomplish social change and meet divergent business objectives.
SICU offers innovative solutions and resources in order to solve problems of individual customers, and to create cost effectivity, added value and multiplicative effects for businesses, corporations, brands, industries, institutions, and ultimately consumers in diverse markets.
This is the central message I would like to be communicated by all of you, and through all thinkable communication channels possible.
Thank you very much for your interest!

Reigning National League MVP Andrew McCutchen was in the middle of yet another fantastic season by old school and new school numbers before he was forced to sit after an avulsion fracture of his 11th rib.
There is no time table on the Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder's return, and while Bucco fans clearly are concerned about their team's playoff chances without McCutchen, there is still reason to believe the Pirates can stay in the N.L. playoff race.
The Pirates beat the Miami Marlins 7-2 at PNC Park on Thursday. Gregory Polanco drove in four runs to help propel the Bucs. Polanco also made a terrific throw from right field to throw out Jarrod Saltalamacchia at third base in the fifth inning. Edinson Volquez was brilliant as he lasted seven innings and allowed no runs on just one hit.
The Pirates rank third in the N.L. in runs, and while McCutchen has a lot to do with that, the Pirates fortunately have also been able to rely on second baseman Neil Walker and utility man and All-Star Josh Harrison's bat to keep the offense afloat. Walker, according to FanGraphs, is leading all N.L. second baseman in Weighted Runs Created+ (wRC+). This stat represents runs contributed per plate appearance that are adjusted for parks and leagues.
One hundred is average and Walker is actually seven up on New York Mets' Daniel Murphy. Walker has been able to rank highly in this particular sabermetric stat because he has been hitting the ball well (.278), hitting the ball out of the ballpark (14 home runs) and has scored 52 runs. So while it is great that he ranks first in wRC+, his traditional numbers are also impressive. He is also injured, but his injury does not seem to be as severe as McCutchen's.
Harrison came out of nowhere in having his breakout year that has pushed him to a 2.7 WAR according to Baseball Reference. He adds a little bit of everything to manager Clint Hurdle's lineup as he has smacked 10 homers, stolen 18 bases and is hitting .308. Shortstop Jordy Mercer has been one of the best offensive SS in all of baseball since the beginning of July, and is showing no signs of slowing down. He has accumulated a 2.2 WAR this season. He could also add a little pop in McCutchen's absence.
Catcher Russell Martin is also having a fine offensive season. His OBP of .415 in 71 games would place him right in the thick of the leaders if he had more games under his belt. Still, it is likely he will not drop off much from that statistic and he could help bridge the gap offensively until McCutchen returns.
Losing McCutchen will definitely hurt the Pirates because he leads the team in basically every single important offensive category, but if this mix of hitters can contribute the way they have recently, the Bucs can buy some time until McCutchen recovers.

The International Music Summit Finds Success With Inaugural China Edition
The International Music Summit took place in Shanghai, China this weekend at Hyatt on the Bund, where a variety of speakers took the stage at the convention to discuss the country's growing music scene. The event featured discussions on electronic culture in China, branding in China, Chinese nightlife and more, with speakers such as Tiësto's manager Andrew Goldstone, Paul Oakenfold, artist manager for Above & Beyond, James Grant, and more.
In a comment, IMS co-founder Ben Turner expressed his excitement over bringing the convention to China.
"IMS is hugely excited to bring our electronic music platform to China for a special event in-conjunction with the Storm Festival. IMS has been designed to share knowledge and inspire delegates with debates and keynotes about the future of electronic music. China emerged as a huge point of interest during IMS Asia-Pacific and it became clear to us that it warranted its own discussion. And here we are with a scheduled day of fascinating insight into the region for those inside and outside of the region."

ArchiCAD 16 powered the design of the Shadetree Apartment complex located in the heart of South Carolina's Johns Island. Morelli Clinard Residential Designs (MCRD) managed the design of the complex, made up of more than 136 units of one, two and three bedroom apartments by taking full advantage of the module feature in ArchiCAD.
"With a project of this size, updating one wall throughout the entire building can be tedious and time-consuming. By maximizing our productivity with ArchiCAD, we save time and of course, money for our client."
The project is currently under construction with a summer 2015 completion date. The firm has experience designing and managing multi-unit residences through the module feature in ArchiCAD. On a recent town home project in Charlotte, NC the team worked on a 107 unit complex that involved eight different designs within the building. Once again being able to update a large project with single edits proved valuable.
