Katheen Menges: Contemporary Fine Artist
Raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Kathleen Menges has always been deeply inspired by her natural surroundings. She recalls spending her summer holidays as a child at Lake of the Woods in Ontario and feeling the pulse of nature all around her. She has a wealth of education ranging from courses in Sculpture, Trompe l'oeil, Encaustics, Cold wax, Painting and even Ikebana, a rare form of Japanese Floral arrangement, Kathleen brings all of this diverse background education into her current artworks.
Within her painting, "The world in my backyard," we see her finely attuned sensitivity to nature in the composition of the fir trees and in the foreground we see her practised hand layering and shaping forms that resemble our planet. Her studies in Sacred Geometry and Spirituality are evident in her abstracted paintings. One can only marvel at the authenticy and clarity of her art language as she moves from one media to another creating surfaces than glow with depth and intention.
Kathleen has exhibited solo at Objekts, in Chilliwack, B.C., at Artistic Revival Antiques and Art Studio, Fort Langley, B.C., at The Interior Design Co., Trompe l'oeil, The Hudsons Bay Store, Vancouver, B.C. and she has a 2011 solo exhibition scheduled at the Surrey Public Library, Semiahmoo Branch, Surrey, B.C. Her group exhibitions include the 2DV8 Gallery, Chilliwack, B.C. the Reach Gallery Museum, Artist StudioTour, Abbotsford, B.C., Mind and Matter Art Gallery, Arnold Mikelson Festival of Arts, South Surrey, B.C., Artistic Revival Antiques and Art Studio, Fort Langley, B.C. and most noteabley the 1997, 2000, and 2010 B.C. Lottery Homes, Ronco Construction, White Rock, B.C.
Throughout the Lower Mainland, B.C. Kathleen has done countless Trompe l'oeils for homeowners and her encaustic, cold wax and acrylic paintings are held in collections in Canada and the U.S.A.

Storyboarding (visual pre-planning of a project) is one of the most important stages in producing a film. Ideas from storyboarding must be communicated properly throughout the production process, involving both the Director of Photography (DP) and Cinematographer. These two individuals must hold a tight knit relationship throughout the course filming. It is vital that their vision is executed successfully and handed off to the editor with enough information to tell the story in post production (editing). To simplify this, these 3 individuals must always have a well thought out plan of what is supposed to happen while the camera rolls. In the world of wedding & event films, we often find ourselves taking on the roll of the DP, Cinematographer and Editor, (thus the reason for labelling ourselves as "Filmmakers"). The advantage we hold as Filmmakers is that we have full creative freedom to take our own ideas and translate them to be exactly the way we envisioned them. On the flip side, when something is happening live, there's really only one chance to capture it the way it actually happened, which presents its own set of challenges.
So what is it that allows us to show up on the day of a wedding and tie a story together, that properly portrays our couple in less than 15 hours of filming? One might suggest that there are many ingredients mixed in our "Secret Sauce" and we'd have to agree. While some of these "flavours" are more evident than others, we feel that each one is essential and adds its own unique touch to our work. Having an extremely detailed vision of "what" and more importantly "who" we are filming is definitely key to staying relevant to the storyline. Some may critique our work and feel we've influenced our films on ideas that had nothing to do with the wedding day. As we progress to be better filmmakers and constantly push our craft to new levels, we feel that our most unique films have less to do with the wedding day and more to do with our couple. I like to think of it as "creating films about our couple on their wedding day" rather than just "filming a wedding".
Jessica and Claudio's film presented many opportunities for us step outside of the box and really think about how we wanted to share their personalities through this piece. Above are a few of the stills that influenced our storyboarding, filming and editing decisions, however there were several other key ideas we worked into this story. See if you can pick out more elements that we focused on to influence Jessica & Claudio's Highlights film. Drop us a line if you think you've got them all.

A QUESTION FOR YOU ALL: How big is your EGO?
The ego is a powerful mental and emotional virus on the planet that most people buy into, in one way or another. It is very destructive and serves no purpose to your spirit. It is the dark plains of consciousness or, rather, unconsciousness. Most people confuse ego with being "stuck up" or "pretentious," but these attributes are just a small fraction of what ego stands for. In reality, the ego is much bigger than that.
This thing called ego has many different rooms, such as: fear, worry, anger, envy, victimization, morbidity, war, lack and limitation. The list goes on and on. What part can you see yourself buying into? In the movie of your life, what role are you playing? Behind most of your thoughts are feelings, and this energy backs up your inner dialogue. Thoughts, words, and feelings are very important. The ego gets its fuel from these sources.
The only way to conquer the ego is not to be a victim of it but to be a victor. It is very important to understand the difference between ego and spirit. The Kingdom of Ego promises you everything that is really nothing: it is a false and poor mockup of the Kingdom of Spirit, which promises you true peace in everything.
The ego is a trap. Some people use their egos and manifest their desires. However, because it is built on ego, it always remains in that energy and therefore attracts likeness to it therefore destructing what it has created. The ego is an energy that must be understood neutralized and released in order to grow into spirit.
Look at it this way. The ego is a false equation for spirit. It is the planet's view that distracts people from their true dream of being. This is where most would say evil or negative energy exists. The propaganda against the planet that we receive from the media does not help matters: it perpetuates the ego mass, most of the time reporting morbid issues and always looking for more insane things to report about.
Perhaps they should focus on happy news—it is there that the collective consciousness will grow. Until then, the mass ego on the planet is huge. Ego-minded people trapped in their emotions: they are part of huge mass groups, classed under different kinds of ego-type. For example, there is "rage and anger ego," "morbidity ego," "fear ego," "insanity ego," "lack and limitation ego," "lust ego," "judgment ego," and "resentment ego." The list goes on, and all kinds of people are operating on these cycles and committing insane acts—this does not mean that everyone who has these thoughts acts on them, but they do contribute to the mass energy of ego. Once you locate the system that you are trapped in you will be able to rise up and reboot, to pull out of it.
For most people who understand this it will truly create a powerful shift in their higher consciousness. Most people are addicted to the feelings that they are used to. Therefore, pulling away from the ego is like detoxifying an addict to get him or her clean. The same process is involved with separating from the ego mass that you may have become attached to. The key here is to locate what you are feeling and thinking about most of the time, so that you can realize what you are feeding on every moment. There is no ego in spirit. Spirit is pure energy, untainted by ego. Spirit has no enemies. The ego is a false system created by man in some way to achieve power. The power of God consciousness or universal consciousness (whatever you choose to call it) is the only power there is. Anything opposing this power would be a false rendition of its nature. The best way to hone in on the ego voice within is to listen closely to what your thoughts are. Is the inner dialogue in a struggle? Do you find yourself having mini fights with someone? All this is simply a true waste of your time and energy.
Change poison into medicine and use forgiveness and let go. Begin to have thoughts of what you want in your life, not of what you don't want. The more you focus your attention on creating your desires, the faster you will get there. The difference with creating from spirit verses ego is that spirit will take you there with ease, joy, and glory, whereas with ego you may be competing to get that result through mentally attacking others.
Anyone who pays allegiance to the Kingdom of Ego will suffer their own demise, until they return home to the Kingdom of Spirit. When you find yourself stuck on a negative emotion neutralize the thought and begin to focus on a happy result. Use that energy. It is all yours, available there for the purpose of living your life. You have choice (now that you know that you own choice) in what is going on in your own head. Are you going to continue to write your drama from ego, or are you going to perform your comedy or another adventure from spirit? What choice will you buy into, the Kingdom of Spirit or the Kingdom of Ego? Every day—or rather every moment—you must die to your fears of the ego-mind and use mindfulness to remain intact and have a fearless spirit.
REBOOT Mantra:
I dissolve my ego every moment and choose to live in
spirit. I have peace of mind.

My son started running with me. I had purchased socks for him, but he kept getting blisters. He said a friend of his wears toe socks to run, so I gave these a try. A huge improvement. He finds them very comfortable. They wash nicely. I do not put them in the dryer. I did order an XL for him, he wears a size 12 sneaker.

I never thought I would even try on my toe socks, but now I can't live without them. Regular socks have always put pressure on my toes and caused pain when walking for long distances. With toe socks there is no pressure - I am pain-free and wear them all the time. I like Smartwool the best for fit and quality.

Great sock for FiveFinger shoes
I bought these socks to wear with my FiveFinger shoes from Vibram. I like them so much that I often wear the socks around the house even when I don't plan to wear the shoes. Great sock!

Toe socks
The Smart Wool toe socks are the most durable of any toe socks I've tried. After many long runs the are still snug and I have had zero hot spots. I can't wait to ski in them.

Good wifi in reception, great breakfast, good shower, beds a little squeaky but comfortable. Pretty far from town it's a bit of a hassle to go out at night. Also read the fine print if you don't have a hostelling international card you WILL be charged an extra €3.50 on top of your current booking so make sure you factor that into your budget. No atmosphere for a solo traveller really.

This week's standout event gathers an impressive clutch of dancers and choreographers to pay A Tribute to Rudy Perez. Although he initially made his name as one of New York's Judson Church postmodern pioneers, Perez soon left the Big Apple for the Big Orange, where over three decades he has been revered for his teaching, choreography and insistence on artistic integrity in his dance and dancers. This program features Alligator Variations,a reconstruction of Perez's 1964 Judson Church duet, Take Your Alligator With You,and the premiere of Perez's Surrender Dorothy! — riffing on the witch's challenge from The Wizard of Oz and drawing on the rapier poems of Dorothy Parker. Perez's stature can be measured not only in the many accolades he has received, but more importantly in the caliber of talent he continues to attract. The cast here includes several respected choreographers with their own troupes, who jumped at the chance to pay homage to Perez. Look for Anne & Jeff Grimaldo, Stefan Fabry, Jamie Benson, Tamsin Carlson, Sarah Swenson, Courtney Meadows, and Katrina Obarski. An event not to be missed! Cal State L.A. Luckman Fine Arts Complex, Intimate Theater, 5151 State University Dr.; Sat., June 6, 8:30 p.m.; $30. (323) 343-6600.
It's a great weekend for festivals. Here's one that's as L.A. as they come — The Lummis Day Festival, a celebration of locally made dance, art, stories and music held at the Charles F. Lummis Home and Garden, built on the west bank of the Arroyo Seco some time around 1900. Hometown sons I See Hawks in L.A. and Ozomatli's Wil-Dog make beautiful music, and there will be performances of Latino, Tagalog, Native American, Anglo and Nigerian traditions. Such as? Blues and roots music by Carlos Guitarlos, Bomba Chante's salsa, the Native American "round dance" music of Glen Ahhaitty, plus the hilarious socially and politically charged comic-performance group Culture Clash. What else? Dance troupes, poets, painters and chefs all doing their thing. Poets appearing at the morning gala include Ruben Martinez, Suzanne Lummis and Gail Wronsky. Art by J. Michael Walker, Raoul de la Sota, Luis Villanueva, Julie Nagesh and others at the Autry National Center's Casa de Adobe. Kiddie stuff includes puppetry from the Puppets and Players Little Theater, storytelling by We Tell Stories, and art projects. Lummis Home, 200 E. Avenue 43, L.A.; art exhibitions at Casa de Adobe, 4605 N. Figueroa St., L.A.; musical, dance and theatrical performances at Sycamore Grove Park, 4702 N. Figueroa St.; Sun., June 7, 10:30 a.m.; poetry gala 12:30-7:30 p.m. (323) 222-0546.
Pacific Serenades closes its 2008-2009 season with a concert titled Woven of Many Strands, featuring works drawn from a variety of influences. The highlight is the world premiere of Paul Chihara's new piano quintet, which promises some surprises. "I don't want to give too much away," whispers Pacific Serenades founder Mark Carlson, "but I can tell you that it's very different from anything Paul has done in the past, and it will include a fugue and what Paul calls 'a big romantic melody.'" Of course, you never can pin Chihara down to any one musical style — this most adventurous composer has utilized everything from 12-tone and Japanese rhythms and harmonies to jazz and standard lyricism in his works, and is equally at home in the classical/avant-garde and film- and TV-music worlds. So it's always fun to see what the ever-forward-looking Chihara — who, at nearly 71, seems to get younger instead of older — will come up with next. Violinists Miwako Watanabe and Connie Kupka, violist Roland Kato, cellist David Speltz and pianist Edith Orloff perform the Chihara premiere, along with Dvorak's Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 81 and Haydn's Piano Trio in A major, H.XV:9. Private address, Brentwood; Sat., June 6, 4 p.m.; $55. Also at Neighborhood Church, 301 N. Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena; Sun., June 7, 4 p.m.; $32; and at UCLA Faculty Center, 405 N. Hilgard Ave., Wstwd.; Tues., June 9, 8 p.m.; $32. (213) 534-2424 or www.pacser.org.
If Retna and El Mac were a team that worked in a more corporate environment, Retna would be the type guy, El Mac would be the photographer. But they don't make ads or album covers (yet), and they identify as graffiti artists. Retna, one of L.A.'s most prominent writers (and an L.A. Weekly favorite), who has graced most of our city's billboards and blank walls with stunning hieroglyphic type forms and textures, is now concentrating on legal spaces. El Mac hails from Phoenix and creates beautiful photorealistic portraits of monumental scale, mostly of women. They team up on a regular basis, notably for the towering Buddha murals at the gas station on Marathon and Western, and the long-standing Girl With Headphones at La Brea and Third.

NEW YORK, April 5, 2011 - As he told an audience here at the Asia Society, Conor Grennan's initial connection to Nepal was a reluctant one. He was living in Europe, about to return home to the US, when he decided to take a trip around the world, which would include volunteering at a Nepali orphanage.
"I didn't go out to Nepal for anything more than to impress people with the fact that I was going out to Nepal. As I told more and more people about it, I trapped myself into volunteering in Nepal, which was pretty much, I promise you, the last thing I wanted to do with my life."
He went to Nepal knowing little about the country or the culture. "I didn't know there was a civil war going on at the time, this was late 2004. I certainly didn't know anything about working with kids."
After three months working in an orphanage, Grennan promised the children he would return after he finished his trip around the world. When he did, a year later, the civil war in Nepal had gotten much worse, "but the kids were resilient; they were surviving."
At that time, Maoists had forcibly conscripted many children into their army. Parents were desperate to avoid that reality. In the northwest district of Humla, a child trafficker came to villages and tricked parents into believing that he would bring their children to Kathmandu to receive an education.
That's when Grennan began to realize that many of the "orphans" he had met were not in fact orphans. After the trafficker had collected money from the parents, many of the children were simply abandoned in Kathmandu.
Grennan started a small organization called Next Generation Nepal, and literally walked around villages with nothing but pictures to locate missing children and their families. "I did the simplest, and kind of the dumbest thing, I could do. But keep in mind nobody was doing this. I thought, what if I just take photos of the kids and go into the mountains? I know generally where they're from."
"I went in there and just put on a backpack, and hired some locals from the region, and literally just started walking through the mountains with photos of these kids. And one by one, we started to find the families."
Grennan continues to work with in Nepalese orphans, reuniting trafficked children with their families, and has documented his activities in the book Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal. He was joined in conversation with Sanjeev Sherchan, Assistant Director of Policy Programs in the New York Public Programs department at the Asia Society.
Reported by Rachel Rosado
Your story is compelling and hit home in many ways for me. Some family members have been working to alleviate the incidence of human trafficking around the globe so I am familiar with the tragedies that are a result. I am also involved with a documentary on those who just disappeared in Nepal during the last civil war. As with the parents of the orphans, family members have not had success in trying to locate their loved ones - Regenerate Films will bring a voice to them. I welcome the opportunity to connect and talk about our common efforts.

On Sunday, I had a picnic with a large group of new friends. More on that later in the post. First, I want to talk with you about how you would shoot your food outdoors at a park for a picnic. The techniques are similar to the ones that I used while tailgating, but in this situation, I got to choose where I wanted to set up.
So we have assessed that direct sun is not going to be ideal. We need some shade. I could bring a diffusion panel out into the open sun, but I don't want to bring out light stands a panel and set all of that up. I am here to enjoy myself, so I will have to look around and find a place that works. Notice the areas circled in yellow.
Do you see how the picnic table and the pine tree on the right are both in the shade? Those are the best areas to shoot.
Unfortunately, the table was not completely shaded. There where areas where the sun was able to shine through (notice the areas in red). The solution to this is to use a small diffusion disc.
Much better. The light falling over these cupcakes is a nice diffused even light. Delicious!
Now that I have explained my method, here are some results.
In the beginning of the post, I told you that this picnic was with a group of new blogger friends. These friends and I are apart of Charlotte Food Bloggers. In attending my first food conference back in January, I realized how much fun it was to hang out with food bloggers in person. Blogging is an incredibly social activity, but at the same time it is incredibly isolating. You develop connections and make friends with people who care about food just as much as you do, but you are limited to comments or 140 character conversations as forms of conversation. I might be old school, but I prefer talking in person far more than writing. The majority of my friends don't care too much about food photography, wordpress, or recipe development. They will gladly eat when I cook, but when conversations fall to the topics of new plugins or what lighting I used on that shot, or looking at new props, I pretty much find myself alone. I needed to find a group of people just as interested in these topics as I was.
So, I contacted my blogger friend Julie, and we decided to start a group in Charlotte. Our first meeting was what you see above, and I couldn't have been more impressed with the amazing bloggers and talent that showed up. I will definitely be blogging more about the group as more happens with it, but after 1 meeting there isn't too much to say other than I was amazed at the turnout and the talented individuals I ate and talked with today. I am very much looking forward to future meetings and what will happen.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, and are wanting to hang out with other food bloggers in you area, start a group. You will be surprised to find what people in your city share the same common interests as you do.
If you live in Charlotte,NC, and are interested in the group check out the Charlotte Food Bloggers Blog (yes we did start a blog haha) or on twitter Here is a link to the post on Charlotte Food Bloggers about the Picnic

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Wednesday distanced himself from remarks made by an anti-Muslim populist Dutch film-maker, saying he condemned attempts to demonize religious or ethnic groups.
Geert Wilders, who is also a right-wing lawmaker, praised Rasmussen in a Danish television interview for backing freedom of speech after local newspapers reprinted satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, and criticized Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende for bowing in the face of Muslim anger.
"I strongly condemn Geert Wilders' condescending statements about Muslims," Rasmussen said in a statement. "I find these expressions extremely offensive," he added.
Wilders plans this month to show a 15-minute video which criticizes the Muslim holy book, the Koran, despite appeals from the Dutch government and mounting unrest in the Muslim world.
In the interview with Denmark's DR TV, Wilders said he wanted to "combat the threat of the growing Islamisation of Western society."
Rasmussen, who angered Muslims by refusing to take action against Danish media that published the cartoons, said he wished to disassociate himself completely from Wilders' views and rejected the Dutch lawmakers' "attempt at associating his views to those of the Danish Government."
Protests have been held in several Muslim countries over the last four weeks after Danish newspapers published the cartoon -- one of 12 that prompted deadly riots in many Muslim countries in 2006 -- in solidarity with the artist following the arrest of three men on suspicion of planning to kill him.
Wilders said the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard had received better support in the face of Muslim wrath from Rasmussen than he himself had seen from the Dutch prime minister.
"I wish we had such a prime minister in Holland," Wilders said. "Unfortunately we have a coward that does not hold firm on the constitution's words about freedom of expression," he added.
Long contentious at home for his anti-Islam populism, Wilders has triggered fury among Muslims thousands of kilometers away with his remarks about his film plans.
"Of course not all Muslims are terrorists, but they have a culture and ideology that harms democracy and which is not compatible with democracy," Wilders was quoted as saying on DR's Web site.
Rasmussen said Wilders' remarks about Muslims were "so insulting" that he wished to hear no group in Danish society referred to in such a manner.

I had a hard time picking photos for this blog. There are so many that I could show. I am so indecisive so I am just going to post a few that caught my eye as I looked through them today. I may have to make a second blog post because I know I will find more favorites.
Dru and Rodney had a beautiful ceremony at the Church at Winder on Saturday. There was a chance of rain but thankfully not a drop fell. I am so happy that Dru and Rodney picked me to photograph their wedding. I have never seen such a couple more in love. They are blending a family and their children are so lucky to be united together by this couple. I hope the photos I picked tell their story (and if they do not, I am sure I will be adding more soon. hee hee!)

On a recent trip to Cairns this place was recommended to us. Lovely food in lovely surrounds. Service was good. I would recommend for a good night out.
On a recent trip to Cairns this place was recommended to us. Lovely food in lovely surrounds. Service was good. I would recommend for a good night out.
The service was pleasant, but food was average. A positive surprise was they had Austrian and Czech Veltliner wines on the menu, which in the heat and humidity of Cairns made it overall a nice experience.
The atmosphere and decor of this restaurant is beautiful. We were served by a lovely, attentive Japanese waitress who was very knowledgable and friendly. There was a mix up with our drink order at the beginning (my red wine was served chilled and my partners rum and ginger ale was served without the ginger ale), however this was rectified and... More
Everything was incredibly slow: taking an order, bringing drinks, bringing appetizers, bringing the main dishes. Any drink had to be requested 2 to 3 times, and even then it took 20 minutes or more to be brought. The waiters pretended not to see when we called them. They clearly forgot our order (for 4 people) and one hour later had... More
Have been to this resturant several times but after my most recent visit don't think I will be rushing back.The food as always,great but the service or rather lack of it was very poor.On arrival,we were told it was happy hour so my friend and I thought we would have a drink at the bar.Well we stood there in clear... More
We had a very nice dinner at the Bayleaf. Good food, great service and nice atmosphere. We had the mixed Sate and Tuna and cucumber salad for starters which were fantastic, and the Chicken Curry and Pork bbq which were very good.
Overall, I would recommend Bayleaf as a good dining option in Cairns. We had a pretty good meal that was marred by really, really bad service. We had the chicken curry which was excellent with a bit of kick and not overloaded on coconut. The duck in banana leaves was also excellent but a bit bland - we used the... More
Loved our visit to Bayleaf. They have lovely outdoor seating and we enjoyed a great meal. Tried the nasi goreng and assorted sate sticks to start. Both were nice starters. I had the ikan bali for the main course, grilled fresh fish fillet in sweet &spicy chil, this was kind of spicy and very flavorful and I was very happy... More
Recently had lunch here,saw the $20 set menu while surfing the net,(also $16), thought my wife and i would give it a go.If your looking for something more than the normal,same old menu and smallish serving size thats all over cairns than this is the place.My wife opted for a nasi goreng which was great and my set menu of...

we went there because of the comments and we ordered seafood in yellow coconut milk as well as the chicken, pork and beef sticks. but actually the seafood one is not as good as i thought. it isnt so outstanding. there are more restaurants servering better dish in yellow coconut milk with a lower price. those bbq sticks were nice...

Obama Should Come Clean
Article from the WSJ about the attempts of the BO campaign to intimidate journalist investigating his work with B ayers at the Annenberg project. This sort of attempt to silence critics by bullying an intimidation is right out of the Alinsky marxist playbook.

Better than the Pakistani Daily News.. amazing what you come up with when you google Obama bad... keep trying thought the Annenberg Deal was dead, but you do not want it end and want it to be different than it is..
Re: Obama Should Come Clean
It must be bad ... they are threatening anyone who wants to cover it. If i didn't know better i would think the mafia is running his campaign. They wish to silence everyone who has an opinion. Is that freedom of speech? Obama is hiding scandals and Sarah Palin is being attacked for being too good ... that's messed up. |

This is a nonstory that the right is trying hard to make stick. Obama should do nothing to help the right. He has come clean, but frankly there's nothing in the world he could do to convince Republican partisans of that. He should do all he can to fight the dishonest smear campaign being waged against him, and simply accept the fact that people like you won't believe him under any circumstance.

Two Iowa fires kill several including a toddler.
Posted on Feb 17, 2009
A 25-year old woman died in a house fire in Hampton, Iowa.
The woman and a toddler were killed on February 16, 2009, in Hampton. Mackenzie Blandau and a toddler of 22-momths, Luis Garcia died in the blaze, which destroyed a four-unit apartment in Hampton. By Iowa law certain apartment residences must have working smoke detectors. The building is owned by Mauricio Sosa.

"In response to John Arceri:
You are right, I'm not a "good candidate",

"I am an excellent candidate!"
I am 100% agree!
John Aceri - godfather of MMM (Marco Island Mafia Member) stated crystal clear:
"…do everything I can to see that you are not elected"
What kind of arrogance is that. I guess Aceri is a 100% Republican with no democratic understanding. A man who was over 14 year now the background manager to bring Marco Island to downfall. Promoter of Waldi and Gibbon. STRP was his baby. He pushed Marco Island to two parties. Totally divided. Close to civil war. His paladins Tucker, Minozzi, Gibbon, Trotter, Waldi, Gibbon and turncoat Poppoff and others brought Marco Island close to bankruptcy.
Listen to Mr. Sacher:
"What one change in our Island community have you thought had a negative impact on our Island community?" His response was: "It seems clear to me that the manner in which Florida Utilities was purchased, and the lack of planning and foresight
that went into it have caused our citizens to be both plagued with unnecessary debt and
divisiveness between the condominiums an single-family homes. Purchasing a broken down
system, not adequately funding the purchase, putting a rate freeze on for five yeas
and making a distinction between types of property owners have all contributed to a
situation that could have been avoided. Given our demographics, we should be among
the most fiscally sound cities anywhere, instead of having hundreds of millions of dollars
in debt and utility rates that are literally causing people to move away."
That is the truth – nothing else than the truth.
The record for the council meeting shows under Public Comment 12/13/1999
"Mr.John Aceri, 1228 Lamplighter Court, expressed his support for Council's action. He
feels that take-over is an option." And our City Councilor work together like a case of conspiracy?
Mr. Sacher continues with breathtaking arguments.
Thank you Mr. Sacher. You are the perfect candidate. I like your statement and I hate what happened on Marco Island. Time to change. I vote for you.

SOURCE: Cohousing Association of the United States
June 06, 2012 14:15 ET
Gathering Place & Tours for Architects, City Planners, Cohousers and Developers to Set the Stage for Creating More Socially, Economically and Environmentally Sustainable Neighborhoods
SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - Jun 6, 2012) - A worldwide reinvention of communities is going on and the Bay Area is at the center of the movement -- the Cohousing Movement. Brought to the US from Denmark in the early 1990s by architects Katie McCamant and Chuck Durrett, cohousing brings together the value of private homes within an intentional community and sets the pace for affordable, green, and connected neighborhoods. Reflecting 20 years of building the most sustainable communities out there, the cohousing neighborhood model addresses elements of many regional plans for future housing needs, keeps people connected and reduces the use of the earth's nonrenewable resources. Sharing meals, cars, childcare, gardens and equipment makes cohousing an affordable lifestyle and decreases an individual's carbon footprint.
WHEN: June 13-17, 2012
WHERE: Oakland Marriott City Center, 1001 Broadway St., Oakland, CA

#NVSen: Berkley Policies Responsible for 44,000 Unemployed NV Hispanics
Berkley-Obama Policies are Driving Factor for Unemployment among Hispanics
(Las Vegas, NV) – Since 2008, Congresswoman Shelley Berkley voted with President Obama for the trillion dollar stimulus, Wall Street bailout, and ObamaCare, all of which are crushing the private sector and forcing unemployment to remain far too high in the Hispanic community. With 44,000 Hispanics unemployed in Nevada and a 14.5% unemployment rate among Hispanics, Shelley Berkley is desperately trying to run away from the Obama-Berkley agenda.
"Congresswoman Shelley Berkley wants to talk about 'what ifs,' but she cannot hide from the fact that it is her economic policies that have failed 44,000 unemployed Hispanic Nevadans. The trillion dollar stimulus, the Wall Street and Detroit bailouts and ObamaCare are destroying the private sector in Nevada and completely undercutting the free enterprise system that is so important for the Hispanic community. Bottom line, Congresswoman Berkley's stunts aren't fooling anyone. She cannot run away from her relentless pursuit of an agenda that has hurt the Hispanic community more than any other in Nevada," said Chandler Smith, Heller for Senate spokeswoman.
The unemployment rate among the Hispanic community in Nevada has remained consistently higher than the general population. The average unemployment rate for the Hispanic community in Nevada was 14.5% with 44,000 Hispanic Nevadans out of work. In July, unemployment among Hispanic adults was 10.3%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said, while the overall nationwide unemployment rate was at 8.3%.

How do you limit firearms to law abiding civilians?

Sussex Border Path
Ewhurst Green to Rye, East Sussex
(14.5 Miles)
A series of attractive field paths, now in much better shape than when the Sussex Border Path was first established in the early 1980s. The last 6 miles follow the Rother river bank and present no difficulties.
After passing Ewhurst Green church on right and soon after 'White Dog' P.H. on left, turn right through gap and along left edge of field. After 350 yards, turn left over footbridge and follow right edge of orchard. At far corner of orchard, turn right over footbridge and walk beside hedge, parallel to road until you can join road through double gateway at GR 805247. Turn right along road for 150 yards and, just before reaching bridge over stream, go left over stile and follow stream bank. At corner of first field, cross stream by footbridge and cross next field (ESE) aiming for far corner and disregarding path, more obvious at time of writing, which heads for footbridge. From far field corner, narrow path winds through trees and scrub. Go straight across next field (still ESE) to find and cross another footbridge. Keep along left edge of next field and, in 200 yards, cross stream on left via culvert. Proceed along valley with stream on right, over stile beside gate and out to road at GR 820243.
Cross road into driveway opposite and immediately turn left along path, parallel and to left of drive to 'Strawberry Hole Cottage.' Emerge into field and diverge at about 10 degrees from left field edge to find and cross stile. From here to Northiam, used and mapped route differ slightly so care is needed. Head slightly left across field, following carefully defined strip. After about 150 yards, turn squarely right, still along defined cross-field path. Join and go ahead along left field boundary. After 70 yards, in field corner, go ahead along narrow path through scrub, over wooden causeway and on along right field edge. From field corner, gravel path leads ahead between houses to A28 at Northiam (GR 829245).
Turn right along road and after 200 yards, fork left along slip road, past low metal posts. Beyond second set of posts, go left along gravel drive which soon curves right past cottages. Where drive bends left, go over stile beside gate and follow left field edge, soon curving right and losing height. At bottom of slope, go through gap and on in same direction across next field. Join and follow ditch on left, ignoring plank bridge over this ditch. After less than 100 yards, fork left across culvert within belt of trees and follow cross-field path, diverging at about 20 degrees from power lines on right. From other side of field go ahead along narrow path which winds through woodland. Cross plank bridge and climb bank to leave wood, then head slightly left across corner of field beyond. Cross plank bridge and go ahead with fence and bank on right. After 80 yards, go ahead over stile and keep to right of hedge of mixed holly and mature trees. Join road at GR843242.
Turn left and, at road junction, fork right along Rectory Lane. In 160 yards, immediately beyond garden of large white house, where road bends right, turn left through gate, forward along drive for a few yards, then right through second gate. Cross corner of paddock to stile, a few yards to right of gate and continue in same direction across coarse pasture field. Cross ditch and remains of stile a few yards to right of far left corner. Follow left field edge, passing small pond on left and curving left. After 60 yards, go through wide gateway and head half right across field (no defined path through crop at time of writing). Go over stile where two sets of power lines meet and follow wide grass strip out to join road at Beckley through gate (GR 853420).
Turn left along road and, in 170 yards, just past Beckley village hall, turn left over stile and follow trodden and partially waymarked path through old orchard, now reverting to picturesque neglect. Enclosed path then squeezes to left of sewage works. At upper corner of works area, bear half right across yard, over two stiles and forward across grass, parallel to sewage works road on right, to reach A268 road at GR 855247. Turn right and, shortly, go left through gap and follow right field edge gently uphill. Near top corner, go over stile on right, cross field corner to second stile and head across next field using solitary tree as marker. Go through narrow belt of trees, continue across field and over stile by corner of woodland. Follow enclosed path with wood on right and row of planted trees on left. Follow this wide path out to lane and turn right.
After about 200 yards, just beyond cottage on left, turn left through metal field gate and follow left edge of field. In field corner, go through gate, forward to second gate, then right to follow right field edge,. From field corner go ahead along fenced woodland path. Leave wood over stile and head slightly right across next field to second stile. Go forward through scattered trees, veering very slightly left across pasture to cross third stile. Go forward along left field edge to stile in corner then head half right across next field. On other side of field, cross stile and footbridge, then go right over humped brick bridge, along right field edge for 50 yards and through gate. Turn left with fence on left. Where fence turns away left, go ahead across field, over stile and across rough pasture to another stile. Now veer slightly left and follow path which takes straight line course across large field where right of way is marked by occasional wayposts. Go over stile and through copse to join road and turn left.
Follow road across River Rother and immediately turn right along signed bridleway along river bank with river on right. Follow river for 6 miles to Rye. At GR 915254, cross B2082 and at GR 936244, divert briefly away from river to join road and turn right. Just short of road bridge over Rother, go left across junction of Royal Military Canal and River Rother with Iden Lock on your left, then turn right to resume progress along Rother river bank with river on right. At GR 926206, turn right along A259, across river and into Rye.

WASHINGTON — On Capitol Hill today, four teachers shared their experiences as new and veteran educators and the benefits that come from having good teacher mentoring programs for successful student outcomes. Sponsored by the New Teacher Center and the College Board Advocacy & Policy Center, the briefing included two teachers featured in Teachers Are the Center of Education: Mentoring, Teaching and Improving Student Learning, a report released today by the two organizations and Phi Delta Kappa International (PDKI).
"There is an urgent need for high-quality mentoring programs in this country," said Ellen Moir, founder & CEO of the New Teacher Center. "Many new teachers leave the profession early in their careers because they are not given the instructional support and guidance needed to succeed in the classroom. Research demonstrates that investments in good mentoring programs achieve critical outcomes, including reduced teacher turnover, accelerated new teacher effectiveness and greater student learning."
According to the U.S. Department of Education, nearly 46 percent of teachers leave the profession after only five years of teaching. The support and professional development that teachers receive in the first two years on the job play a key role in accelerating their effectiveness and improving student learning. It is vital to support them with high-quality, comprehensive mentoring programs.
College Board President Gaston Caperton said, "It's critically important that new teachers are provided with a support system they can rely on. Teachers have a profound impact on student achievement, therefore we need to not only embrace these new teachers, but also prepare those already -more- in the profession to help the next generation of great educators succeed."
Teachers Are the Center of Education: Mentoring, Teaching and Improving Student Learning is the fourth in an ongoing series of reports on the role of teachers in the U.S. education system. A collaborative effort of the College Board, the New Teacher Center and PDKI, the report looks at nine teachers who have who have taken time from their classroom practice to contribute their knowledge and experience to their new colleagues.
The report serves to provide educators, administrators and policymakers with a unique view into the long-term benefits of mentoring programs. The report makes five recommendations:
- All first- and second-year teachers must be paired with a full-time mentor.
- Mentors must support teachers through a variety of proven practices including: frequent and regular meetings with new teachers that focus on teaching and learning; classroom observations; tailored pre- and in-service professional development on analysis of student data; support for peer networking; and teaching of leadership development skills.
- The federal government, or a coalition of states, must design common standards for mentoring that include outcomes, professional development and program components.
- Mentoring programs must provide time for mentor preparation and ongoing learning, new teacher peer networking, new teacher pre- and in-service professional development and the development of mentor and new teacher leadership skills.
- All mentoring programs must incorporate research into their work to measure the impact on teacher retention, teacher effectiveness and student achievement.
During the briefing, new teachers shared compelling stories about their initial experiences in the classroom, their hopes and fears, and the impact high-quality mentoring programs had on their professional experiences. Additionally, veteran teachers shared experiences in working with their less experienced colleagues and the guiding principles for being a good mentor. Kentucky's Commissioner of Education Terry Holliday served as the moderator of the panel and discussion.
Mentoring team Amy Keys, teacher mentor, and María-Elena Valenzuela, mentee, from Pajaro Valley High School in Santa Cruz, Calif., explained that Maria-Elena's veteran colleagues were reluctant to invest the time and energy into staff who might leave in a year or two.
Clarissa Williams, a mentor from the New Teacher Center in Chicago, said that her previous experience had not prepared her for the first day of work and the challenges presented by her students. "I went home the first day feeling like a complete failure and wondering if I could possibly return the next day.," Williams said. "I did return the next day and the rest of that week. However, I also continued to feel overwhelmed and started to lack a sense of efficacy. I did not want to be another teacher that came with high hopes and then left the next year, or sooner, disillusioned by the system."
Tammy Phuong, a National Board Certified Teacher and mentor from Austin Independent School District in Texas recalled the challenges she faced during her early years of teaching. Phuong said, "I was compelled to make a difference for other new teachers, and in 2008 I became a full-time teacher mentor."
The New Teacher Center
New Teacher Center seeks to reduce the achievement gap in our nation's schools by accelerating the effectiveness of new teachers through comprehensive mentoring and professional development programs. NTC partners with school districts, policymakers, and leaders in education to implement programs that build leadership capacity, enhance working conditions, improve teacher retention, and transform schools into vibrant learning communities. Founded in 1998, NTC headquarters are in Santa Cruz, California.
The College Board Advocacy & Policy Center
The College Board Advocacy & Policy Center was established to help transform education in America. Guided by the College Board's principles of excellence and equity in education, the Center works to ensure that students from all backgrounds have the opportunity to succeed in college and beyond. Critical connections between policy, research and real-world practice are made to develop innovative solutions to the most pressing challenges in education today. Drawing from the experience of the College Board's active membership consisting of education professionals from more than 5,900 institutions, priorities include: College Preparation & Access, College Affordability & Financial Aid, and College Admission & Completion.

"I shall never forget the faces of the boys and the girls in that little Welhausen Mexican School, and I remember even yet the pain of realizing and knowing then that college was closed to practically every one of those children because they were too poor. And I think it was then that I made up my mind that this nation could never rest while the door to knowledge remained closed to any American." [1] (Retrieved July 18, 2006, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson)
Throughout its history, Texas State University–San Marcos has been and continues to be among the state's leaders in the number and quality of new educators. As always, students thrive in a rich environment supported by dedicated and productive faculty and staff.

"Evil Rich" is what the libs think of anyone who isn't on the govt. take. Personally, without them, we would all be in serious trouble. I may not be one of them, but I am eternally grateful they are out there and willing to donate the money they do to worthy projects. Imagine, they donated to a cause they deemed worthy and didn't even need the govt. to decide for them.
