Welcome to the Escorts in Patna Mall, a long term work in Patna, I finally decide to work all over India and then decide to I will offer my prestigious services in Patna also, today I will tell you already have an idea of why people employ as Best Patna Escorts – but why do women become Patna Escort Services? Many people enjoy and perpetuate the stereotype of girls with "parental relationship problems", but this is a generalization that does not fit many women in the industry lately. So why do women choose to become escorts?
With the help of some of our lovely escorts in Patna, we have explored some of their reasons. Like men, many women have an active libido and enjoy physical intimacy. Having a job as an escort gives them the opportunity to satisfy their sexual impulses and connect at different levels with their clients. Having a source of income is a necessity for most people. Women escorts are not different! Escorting can be a lucrative career and can give financial stability and flexibility to women of all social strategy.
Each man derives different qualities, likes, and dislikes, so the choice would be also different. Never underestimate Best Patna Escorts because nobody can beat them in beauty, dressing sense, sense of humor, or hotness.
Patna female escorts are very clever and they know how to provide complete pleasure to a man, not just a physical pleasure but also emotional. Our hot girls understand man psychology and work according to it.
A gentleman always seeks for a true relationship that comes from inside. The relationship that is not only based on physical but soul satisfaction is also important. And every escort agency can't understand the situation but we are an exception.
Our highly educated staff and trained escorts will treat you like a pro and make you feel special and like a celebrity. They are open-minded and quite bold. You can talk with them openly and can share every feeling of your heart.
Bihar escorts are skilled in a French kiss, oral therapy and oral sex, foreplay, and erotic massage therapy, and many other naughty things that you can only imagine in your dreams. So not think much and let your dreams have wings and fly in the top of the sky.
To ensure a good time between the sheets, there are certain things that you simply cannot ignore. As the most demanded Best Patna Escorts, we know what we are talking about when it comes to good sex. If your appointments were left you unsatisfied, we may be able to help you. Before your next appointment, do not forget the following essential principles.
No matter how attractive you find someone, sex will be painful if you are not compatible. From having unbalanced sexual impulses to different tastes in terms of positions, there are all kinds of reasons why two people may not make a good couple. We all have our own innate style when it comes to sex, and trying to make someone a compatible sexual Patna call girl is something that is almost doomed to failure. The trick to having good sex is to find someone who complements your own style.
Being able to talk during sex is essential for any kind of couple, both in one-night adventures and in long-term relationships. Do not be afraid to tell your partner what works for you, with very explicit instructions. Neither do topics sound too demanding; Your partner will probably appreciate the help. Why suffer in silence when you could have the best sex of your life?
Nothing can ruin both sex and lack of confidence in your own body. Whether you're worried about breaking records or that extra thickening around your waist, being stressed by what you look like when you're naked will kill your sex drive faster than a cold shower. If your insecurities come from criticism that call girls in Patna have made on your body, do yourself a favor and throw them away. Learning to get over issues related to body self-image can take time, but your perseverance will be worth it when you start having the best and most trusted sex of your life.
The best Best Patna Escorts services almost generates involves preliminaries, whether it is long and strenuous or if it is sweet and short. The key to the preliminaries is to generate anticipation of the final act, allowing you and your partner to experience maximum pleasure. The preliminaries do not simply consist in physically heating up; They also have to do with placing you in the right state of mind for sex, releasing happiness hormones in your brain. Studies have shown that preliminaries lead to longer sex and more orgasms, something you cannot argue with science.
Is your anniversary coming again? Are you getting tired of the old routine "dinner/movie/sex? Touching your anniversary is easy – simply hire escorts in Patna and follow this recipe to have an anniversary to remember. Write a handwritten note for your partner and leave it anywhere you will find it when you are not around. Leave some clues about what this afternoon is going to bring, and bring a personal touch – leave her/him, remembering some particularly hot experience that you have ever had, or include a sexy photo (just make sure you will be warned) I may have to be prepared). Prepare the environment and let the excitement rise.
Choose a suit that makes you feel confident, or plan a role play that leaves your partner with the stockings down (along with the rest of his clothes, with a little luck). Prepare a meaningful dinner that retains a certain meaning for both of you and lets this remind you of new fantasies with housewife escorts in Patna. Whether you have booked a room in a good hotel or have been spending the afternoon at home to make sure the room is perfect. Think that the atmosphere – music, lighting, and fragrance are all elements that will help you create a sensual atmosphere. If you are at home, leave the bed smooth, and clean the room to make it attractive – anything off-site is a potential distraction from the main event.
This is the basic recipe for an incredible night – personal tastes can vary, so do not be afraid to deviate from these and create a unique mixture that really hits the spot. Here are some extra "condiments" that you can consider when adding to your special celebration. For a truly memorable anniversary, why not literally add someone else to the mix? You do not need to make an embarrassing call to a friend to assess your interest, there are professionals, like our high profile Best Patna Escorts agency, who love to help inject new life into relationships. You can enjoy a guilt-free experience without the hassle of involving someone you normally interact with.
Give them an opportunity before laughing at them. Rolling up parts of your body with neon bars and turning off the lights can provide tantalizing erotic glimpses of parts that are usually familiar to you. Think about your thighs, waist or neck, or see how creative you are with them. You could play sexy versions of games like "two truths and a lie" or "I never" – not only can you get morbid with the game itself, but you can also get to know more intimate details about air hostess escorts in Patna. Before rejecting games like these, make sure you feel comfortable listening and talking about each other's past. Or make it more physical and try something like the naked twister. You can give some furtive grabs, and this almost always ends with a hot mess of members.
We do not mean dinner, you know. Pick up some sexy foods like whipped cream, and use each other as the serving dish. Of course, you will have no one to look at you, and you may need to take a bath or shower together at some time. This is the icing on the cake for any anniversary recipe. If you want to find someone special to help you and your partner to celebrate your day, or even if you want to encourage him in the bedroom, you can see our gallery of impressive Best Patna Escorts Call Girl Patna ready to help you. Call us to confirm your appointment today. +91-8434606357, 9102557248

How do you develop a mental picture of your characters?
Sometimes I have an image already in my mind then I look for a name that fits that description. I recently started to look for pictures on the Internet so I can refer back to it when I'm writing about that character. It's funny but for GEORGIE ON HIS MIND I had a clear image of Georgie with long ringlets of strawberry blonde hair like Nicole Kidman used to have in that movie Malice and that stuck.
Has an editor annihilated your absolutely favorite line in your book? Did you take it meekly or fight for your words?
My editor at Avalon didn't want to annihilate a line but a whole scene! She went on to say how funny it was but the way it was written just didn't fit the "family friendly" standards of Avalon. It was a scene where the heroine mistakes the hero as a condom thief. I was going to completely change it to hemorrhoid cream and really dreaded making the changes. But then my husband looked at me and said, "If you were a real writer, you would be able to make it work as is." WHAT?! Those were fighting words so I did manage to keep it to condoms, made some really small changes, and both me and my editor were very happy in the end. So I did stick to my guns then.
Do you have a favorite social network?
My favorite social network changes with my mood—and my time. When I joined Facebook, I couldn't get enough. Then a few months later, Twitter was becoming more and more fun to me. Now I've kind of gotten a renewed love of blogging again.
What's on your bucket list?
Going to the Kentucky Derby is on my bucket list! I don't know why, but that is just something I'm dying to experience. I want to drink a mint julep and wear a one of those huge fancy hats. Last time I was in NYC I saw a beautiful purple hat for $425 that would be perfect! (I didn't buy the hat, but hopefully someday…)
So what's a poor particularly attractive girl to do in a situation like this? The only thing she can do: find him a woman!
He'll thank her for it in the end. That is, if his best friend Walt Somers would stop interfering with her plans. The handsome pharmacist has made no secret that he doesn't approve of what she's up to. Unfortunately, having Walt hanging around does strange things to her mind, and suddenly she can't help but take a healthy interest in him. But how can Georgie entertain thoughts of the two of them together when Walt still treats her like his best friend's little sister?

The Financial Planning Association announced Wednesday that it has released an updated version of its online planner search tool in order to help American consumers find financial planners more easily.
The enhanced version of the FPA'S PlannerSearch service now allows consumers to look for a planner based on criteria such as:
- How planners charge, whether using fee-only or other compensation methods
- Whether a planner offers a free initial consultation
- What specialization is offered, in areas ranging from budgeting to retirement planning
"FPA's research shows that nearly 90% of consumers who have a comprehensive financial plan feel that they have clear financial direction in their lives," said Denver-based FPA Chief Executive Marvin Tuttle (right) in a statement. "PlannerSearch is designed to help even more Americans connect with an expert planner to help them secure a path for their financial future."
Interviewed in New York about the updated PlannerSearch, Tuttle compared it to online, user-friendly search tools for doctors. As the certified financial planner profession matures, he said, the FPA is studying new ways to help CFPs refine their practice management.
These efforts involve "looking at practices as a full-fledged business," much as doctors do, Tuttle said. The FPA is seeing more of its 23,000 members hire operations managers who can run CFPs' offices so that the planners can focus on planning.
The FPA's PlannerSearch tool is already so powerful that a Google search of the term "find a financial planner" pulls up PlannerSearch at the top of the first Google page.
Advisors who are interested in signing up for PlannerSearch must be FPA members with the CFP designation and must be affiliated with a state or SEC-registered investment advisor or a state or federally chartered trust or banking institution, unless they are otherwise exempt from registration.

Can I please have my subtitle changed to Doric Usurper?
Some guy in history had some reason... even though the Dorians established the order, I am not merely speaking for Doria, if it was an ethnic slur i should be Mycaenan Usurper. Hence, my questioning about Agamemnon as a baby name.

railway companies, – corporations possessing, in many particulars, the nature of public institutions.
How far-reaching this decision really was, could not at the time have been perceived by the most far-sighted judge. Its effects have been avoided to some extent by legislative and constitutional enactments reserving the right to amend and revoke all subsequent.charters; but the large number of cases arising under it, and which fill the reports of the Supreme Court, show that all efforts on the part of State legislatures to recover the power of which the Federal Constitution, as thus expounded, has deprived them, have been only partially effectual. It frequently stands in the way of what all admit would be beneficent legislation, and places many corporations monopolizing enormous privileges and wielding enormous influence — influence so great as often to shape legislation and control political action — entirely beyond governmental control, so long as they keep within the limits of vague and loosely worded acts of incorporation originally drawn up by themselves. Since the decision, a new class of corporations have sprung up and extended their operations over all the continent, of a character such as was before unknown. Commerce is almost entirely dependent upon them, and in their honest administration and wise co-operation with the various great industries of the country, every person in the land is interested. To these great associations, often so powerful as to constitute quasi sovereignties, the decision in the Dartmouth College case has been indeed, not a Magna, but a Major Charta, for it has conferred upon them an independence such as the East India Company in its palmiest days never possessed, or even aspired to.
We have spoken of the acquiescence with which the first decision was received. It was doubtless to a great extent owing to the fact, that the existing and succeeding generations did not feel the consequences which we begin to feel and perceive to flow from it. Corporations then were few in number, and possessed little power for harm; and great confidence was felt, and justly felt, in the good sense, judgment, and caution of the persons who composed the various State legislatures. There was still, too, a lingering suspicion that the main danger in our institutions lay on the side of attempted infringements of the rights of property, and if the interpretation by the court of this prohibition
on the States was broader than had ever been intended, — if statesmen were rather startled to learn that the obscurely worded protection given to contracts extended to grants of governmental prerogatives and releases from essential public burdens, — the thinking public, strongly interested in s serving the sacredness of vested rights, was consoled with th« thought that proper was weak and the electoral franchise all but universal, and t! if the decision was inconvenient, it protected them from dang infinitely more calamitous.
To question the correctness of this decision may seem to many and particularly to some ardent admirers of Chief Justice Marshall and Mr. Webster, as profane as it would be to question the authenticity of the writings of St. Paul, — nay, in this sceptical age, even more so. And some of those who think it would have been better had the case been decided the other way, may reasonably condemn any attempt to unsettle a branch of the law so long established. But the murmuring at the entire doctrine which is beginning to be heard throughout the country, the restless, fitful desire to get rid of it, not yet fully understood by themselves, which large classes of people begin to feel, indicate. that the whole subject must at no distant day be carefully reexamined. Any decision in an ordinary case ought as a rule to stand ; and when a decision has stood for fifty years, even to question it, lightly and without sufficient consideration, is injurious and censurable, as tending to unsettle our entire system of jurisprudence. But constitutional decisions which take from the political department of government powers and prerogatives usually belonging to it, and which legislation cannot remedy, stand on a different footing from ordinary precedents involving questions of private rights. Fifty years is a short period in the history of a nation living under a constitution intended to be perpetual. The consequences of the Dartmouth College case are now beginning to press heavily upon great communities, and the pressure, we believe, will increase rather than diminish. It involves questions of political power, political necessity, it may yet be of political safety, and the case will not be let alone, however wise it may be to do so.
Under these circumstances, even hostile criticism of the case may do good, if in no other way than in strengthening the foun
1 Legal Tender Cases, 12 Wallace, 554.
dations on which it rests, and convincing the public that their complaints of it are unjust. And as we are yet unsatisfied of its correctness, we shall briefly state, with the profoundest veneration for the great judges who first announced this decision and for the high tribunal that has steadily sustained it, in what respects
2 think it unsound. A legislature, in a fit of benevolence, inserts in the charter of a aritable institution (or rather does not strike out of it) that it all be exempt from taxation. . A great railway company wheeles a State out of privileges, — perchance coupled with a release from public burdens, — which enables it to hold whole communities in a state of vassalage more galling and more durable than any established by the feudal system ; or it combines with a ring of bad men, corrupts the judiciary, and plunders the commercial capital of the country at pleasure. Or, to use a more painful illustration, the perhaps most shamelessly corrupt and contemptible body of men that ever called themselves a legislature, grant to a corporation, for twenty-five years, the exclusive monopoly - enforced by penal legislation --- of killing butchers' meat in a great city and its suburbs. To rescind the exemption from taxation, when it proves burdensome to the State ; to \ttempt to limit the powers incautiously granted to the railway mpany, when shown to be mere instruments of oppression and
tortion; to repeal the monopoly of furnishing an essential o cle of food, even to save two hundred thousand people from
ration, ---are not wise and beneficent acts of legislation, but laws impairing the obligation of contracts, breaches of public faith so contrary to sound principles of government that they are classed with ex post facto laws and bills of attainder! Chief Justice Marshall did not mean this; but his decision means this to the present generation. 1 The truth is, that the Dartmouth College case, instead of protecting the weak against the strong, is a decision all on the side of power, making the strong stronger, and the weak weaker, almost to helplessness. Passing by the notorious corruption that has disgraced some of our legislative bodies, any one acquainted with governments and legislatures knows that when the servants of the State are honest and capable men, the danger is, not that private rights will be sacrificed to public wants, but that public rights will be made subservient to private or local interests and private cupidity. When we remember how the crown (that is, the public) property has been granted away in England, and even now, with all the safeguards that Parliament has thrown around it, is often alienated in a manner most detrimental to the State ; when we know how the New England States have been deprived of almost the entire seashore by legislative grants made in the supposed interests of commerce for erecting wharves, and afterwards often used for building purposes, and as a means of extorting money from the public for relinquishing privileges that cost nothing ; when we see how Western States have been duped into making most extravagant grants of the public domain for the purposes of railways, by capitalists who took advantage of their necessities, and, having grown rich out of their bounty, have frequently left the railways to them overburdened with debt, and scarcely able in consequence to accomplish the purposes for which all this property was given, - we see that no Dartmouth College decision was needed to protect legislative grants in free, or even in the most democratic, countries.
That corporate franchises often involve questions of private vested rights which would be destroyed by their revocation, we readily admit. But the Federal Constitution does not profess to protect property from local State legislation, unless some contract is impaired within the meaning of the prohibition in regard to them. Property is of various kinds, and is protected to different degrees of certainty and on different conditions. Real property is one kind; ordinary personal property is another; slave property, as the owners of it have found out, was another; and the peculiar interest which a corporation has in its franchises is another. These species of property differ from each other according to the different nature of each, and of necessity must be held with different degrees of security. Laws may be passed, seriously affecting them, and even destroying them, which, although producing great hardship, would not be unjust, or calling for compensation to the losers by them. We shall show, we think, that the laws impair ng contracts to which the Constitution refers, are laws esse tially dishonest, immoral. Not every law impairing private contracts is immoral. An embargo does this; yet, when necess -y, it is just, although it may destroy contracts, and even ruin, pecuniarily, people interested in them. A bankrupt law impairs contracts; but it is generally admitted to be wise ; and we do not believe that it was intended that the States should be restricted from passing laws of this kind, with their full operation and effect, unless the restriction can be implied from the grant of this power to the general government. " It is not," says Mr. Justice Strong, in the Legal Tender Cases, 1 " every hardship that is unjust, much less that is unconstitutional." There are governmental functions which must go on, be the consequences to private interests what they may, and where the law provides no indemnity. The civil operations of government sometimes destroy property, life, and even contracts. Its military operations destroy these to an appalling extent.
A fire-engine, driven at full speed on its way to a fire, knocks a man down and kills him. He is deprived of life " without the judgment of his peers and the law of the land." Is Magna Charta violated ? The answer is, that it has no application. The public safety requires the engine to drive through crowded and narrow streets at a dangerous speed, and no private rights can stand in its way. No such right or power is given in the Constitution. It has its origin in the law of nature. Salus populi suprema lex is the first of law maxims. And herein lies, in our judgment, the solution of the much vexed question whether Congress can impair the obligation of contracts. There was no such power given; it would have been anomalous indeed if there had been. But contracts are no more sacred than life and limb; and there are governmental prerogatives that must at times be exercised, however they affect contracts. The power to lay an embargo, and to establish a bankrupt law, are instances of these. The Legal Tender Cases afford a most striking illustration. However doubtful may have been the constitutionality of the Legal Tender Act (and all admit it was a very close case), we must confess that we never could appreciate the argument drawn from its impairing contracts. All this, we think, holds true equally in respect of the States acting within the limits of their sovereignty. Of course this principle has limits which we cannot now consider. We merely use it as an illustration. It is liable to abuse; but that only shows the imperfection of all human institutions, and in no wise disproves its necessity. Out of it grows what is known as the police power, which we apprehend may often seriously

As part of my series of blog postings on what makes a healthy independent RIA business, last week I discussed the operations side of the business, specifically, information technology. This week, we'll branch out into compliance, budgeting and forecasting, and in general, the business analysis sections of operations.
There are 50 different state securities commissions and one SEC. Therefore, there are at least 51 various regulatory agencies and hence, regulations. Although there is a common thread throughout, there are a number of variables. Therefore, I will speak only to a few specific issues. You are required to send out an annual privacy notice each year. You should check with your specific regulatory body, but here, an email is sufficient. In the past few years, the SEC has mandated that investment advisors use a standardized format for their Form ADV, Part II. This "brochure" must include certain information that is formatted in a pre-approved template. My regulators have sent me this template. If you'd like a copy, send me an email. I understand it will take approximately 10 hours to complete.
There are many "compliance" issues we could discuss. I recommend you speak to your regulators and ask for their assistance. After all, they are the "experts," right?
Integration has become a vital component of any website. The ability to capture data from visitors by offering something "special" has been gaining traction. One primary purpose for a website is so potential customers can gain some knowledge of your business in advance of a personal meeting. In short, it's a great place to "get your message out."
Recently, I bought a video camera. Though I am still getting used to it, and must still buy some software to allow for "drop ins," at some point, I hope to include videos on my website.
Your website has a "front end" and a "back end." The former is the public area and the other is reserved for those who register with your site. You should give some thought as to the content you want to include in each part.
Business Analysis
Client segmentation, or how to parse your clientele and tailor your services accordingly, is an important step to take. Also, each year, by mid October, you should project a budget for the following year. The revenue portion will be more difficult to project than the expense side of the ledger, as you can more easily track expenses.
There's so much more to cover here. I haven't even touched on the role of your custodian. That will be the subject of my next—and last—posting on this topic later this week.

Animation Extravaganza: Thursday, June 15th
Here's what's on the bill for the evening, in alphabetical order:
6 min.
Dir: Geoff Marslett
4 min.
Screens with Brett's Animation Film Slam winner FLUIDTOONS (3 min.).
Dir: Brett W. Thompson
(Local Fimmaker)
8 min.
Dir: Troy Morgan
6 min.
Dir: Maureen Selwood
8 min.
Dir: David Chai
15 min.
Dir: Marek Skrobecki
3 min.
Dir: Joanna Davidovich
(Local Filmmaker)
8 min.
Dir: Roger Allers
5 min.
Dir: Scott Kravitz
5 min.
Dir: D. Grant Goans
(Local Filmmaker)
8 min.
Dir: Josh Staub
28 min.
Dir: John Canemaker
6 min.
Dir: Kory Juul
5 min.
Dir: Mike Blum
Notice that the local yokels are: CHICKENHEADS/FLUIDTOONS, JUXTAPOSER, and MAN DRAWING A RECLINING WOMAN. I'm not familiar with D. Grant Goans, but I do know the other two: Brett W. Thompson was the lucky fellow to win the first ever Animation Film Slam back in March, and Jo Davidovich is the newest member of Primal Screen! Both are frequent commenters here on The Ward-O-Matic, and I couldn't have been more happier for them. To have your work screened at the Atlanta Film Festival is a great opportunity and I wish the best of luck to them both.
A couple of interesting stand-outs for me in this line-up:
1. Disney's THE LITTLE MATCHGIRL is a holdover from a third installment of FANTASIA, which I believe was canned when they dropped the 2D bomb back about a year and a half ago. Looks like Disney's trying to tap into the film fest circuit with this one, not unlike what they did with DESTINO. I doubt it'll do as well as that earlier film, though, but at least they're putting this film out there for the public to see. It's a serious film, surprisingly holding onto the original Hans Christian Andersen story's somber note at the end. I really dug the film—the color palette and layouts were very well done, and the animation was well executed. The music, however, didn't do it for me. It didn't pull me in like some of the original FANTASIA segments of 1940.
2. John Canemaker's Oscar-winning THE MOON AND THE SON will be a highlight of the evening. It's a little long, but you'll be pulled into the story and the time will fly by. It's a fascinating account of John trying to come to terms with his father's death several years ago. It's an "imagined conversation" with his father, which makes it all the more heartwrenching to know that he was never able to talk with his father this openly and blatently. Something to be said about art therapy. You can tell that this film was definitely a catharsis for John.
3. FUMI AND THE BAD LUCK FOOT is a hilarious short made by animation instructor David Chai and his animation students at San Jose State University. Some pretty funny sight gags with fun animation. It's been making the festival rounds lately, so I'm happy to see it screened here in Atlanta.
The great thing about animation at film festivals is that there are all kinds of mediums and methods being shown: stop-motion, traditional, and CG. The same can be said for what will be shown at the Animation Extravaganza. A great mix of talent and vision, all shown within an hour and a half timeframe. Please come and support the local scene, as well as animation in general! I'll be doing some emceeing that night, so don't be afraid to heckle me in the audience. Quaint banter will ensue.
ATTENTION: We are still looking for more volunteers for the night! Please contact Vella and let her know which shift you can do. Remember: you can check out the other screening for free if you volunteer!
See you there!

That's going to be a great show. I've seen about half of the films, and they're good. Lots of variety and entertainment. Too bad I'll be in NYC on Thursday; it's almost worth the trip.ReplyDelete

Election, Form 990, and White Spaces (11/06/08)
Participate in Post-Election Advocacy
Washington, D.C. – Record participation in this week's elections should fuel ongoing public engagement in the political process. The Obama Presidential Administration and the new Congress - with an increased Democratic majority – will take office in January. Your voice will be essential to advancing a robust national arts agenda. While the Presidency and Congressional seats have now been chosen, key decisions about policy priorities and leadership appointments, such as the new Chair of the National Endowment of the Arts, will be made in the coming months. Congress will likely wait until the new term begins before taking up any major funding bills, but there is a potential for policy activity during the "lame duck" session before the end of 2008. The League will keep you up to date. In the meantime, the next two months provide an excellent opportunity to contact Members of Congress while they are at home. Don't forget to reach out to both newly and re-elected officials to describe the public value your orchestra provides in your community.
Build a Relationship with Policymakers
Nonprofit Execs Name Priorities for Next Administration
Orchestra executive directors say that expanding incentives for charitable giving, increasing grant support for capacity building, and boosting federal funding for the arts are the top three nonprofit policy actions the next Administration can take to support the work orchestras do in their communities. The results are reported in the Johns Hopkins Listening Post Project's most recent communiqué, entitled, "Nonprofit Policy Priorities for the New Administration." This is the first Listening Post survey in which orchestras have participated, alongside their nonprofit counterparts in the areas of family and elderly services, community development, and arts and culture.

Ready for the New Form 990?
As reported earlier this year, the Internal Revenue Service is requiring nonprofit organizations to file a new version of the Form 990 to report on FY08 activity. On Wednesday, November 19, 2008 the League will be hosting a webinar for orchestra executive directors, finance professionals, and board chairs preparing to adapt to the new Form.
White Space Moving Day - February 17
The wireless microphone technology currently in use by orchestras and other performing arts organizations will soon undergo changes. As TV goes digital in February, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is re-examining the use of the broadcast spectrum, specifically the "white space" that exists between broadcast television channels. Recent auction of the "white space" is resulting in a reorganization of the broadcast spectrum, changes to the allowable uses of the spectrum, and the development of new devices.
On November 4, the FCC voted to authorize the use of new devices that would operate in the same space currently used for wireless microphones. Also, a specific part of the white space (channels 52-69) has been auctioned off, and current users, including performing arts groups, will be required to vacate this part of the spectrum by February 17, 2009.
The Performing Arts Alliance, of which the League is a member, has filed comments with the FCC on behalf of the nonprofit performing arts community, urging the agency to find a viable solution to protect wireless audio devices from interference as new devices come into use. We are encouraging all parties to find a solution that is affordable for nonprofit orchestras and that will guarantee that migration to new technology and a new location on the broadcast spectrum will be free of interference during performances.

You may want to find a doorway to brace yourself in, a fence post to tether yourself to or, at the very least, something to bite down on as it seems the day we thought would never come may at last be upon us: DAVID LUIZ MAY HAVE CUT HIS HAIR!
We know, we know. There's a hotline you can ring.
These photos have appeared on Twitter from an account pertaining to belong to David Luiz's mother, @Reginamm4, that appear to show her 'son's' tousled sprigs all over the floor, with a strategically placed clipper really ramming home the implications…
I suppose the question is: if Luiz runs out for Chelsea's game against Stoke tomorrow with his bonny mane all bouncy and fully intact, then just what in short-and-curly hell have we just spent the last five minutes looking at?

Many people may bemoan the overly shiny, exhausting, go-go-go aspects of the season, but what they're likely longing for, in part, is not the total absence of all social gatherings. Rather, many people are looking for more community-focused, come-together traditions, traditions that might stretch back centuries.
We enjoy many of those around Southern California. And one of the oldest and most moving is Las Posadas, a hallowed, candlelit event that is, of course, not specific to our region, but does unfurl in many fashions as Christmas Eve draws near.
And, indeed, it is a Christmas Eve happening, in many parts of the world, but on Olvera Street? Mary and Joseph's search for an inn, through song, dialogue, and slow, tune-filled stroll, is observed over nine consecutive nights.
Local news from across Southern California
Night one is Monday, Dec. 16, and the final night wraps on, yes, Tuesday, Dec. 24. Ballet folklorico performances are part of the evenings, which start at 6 p.m., and the breaking of piñatas, too.
Many visitors join the singing and the walk, but you are also free to observe. Take part if you wish, or not. Several shops along the historic street will remain open, meaning you can purchase a cocoa, find a bench, and listen to the music.
Indeed, it is one of our city's oldest traditions, a gathering that goes back well before the founding of Los Angeles itself.
Las Posadas is free to attend.

EDMONTON - A long-awaited study on the health of aboriginals in Alberta's oilsands region is being questioned before it's even begun over concerns about how it would deal with cancer rates.
The chief and council for the Mikisew Cree have told Alberta Health that they won't take part in a long-promised, government-funded survey that would assess the health of people living in Fort Chipewyan and Fort McKay.
"They felt it would be too much control by Alberta or Canada, that at the end of the day we would not be satisfied," said spokesman George Poitras.
Poitras said the Mikisew wanted assurances the study would focus on community concerns over cancer rates, which many believe are elevated because of the presence of environmental toxins from the oilsands.
They also wanted a baseline health study, as well as promises local people would be involved and that the community would own the data.
The band council didn't get the assurances they needed, Poitras said.
"It is absolutely an issue of trust."
Story continues after slideshow
The three-year, $1.2 million study will still go ahead, said Howard May of Alberta Health.
"The University of Calgary is planning to conduct the community health assessment, and has applied for a grant," he said in an email.
"Subject to the grant application being finalized, the research team will work with the participating community members to develop the approach — and will lead this work. The assessment will be informed by the health priorities identified by the community."
The Athabasca Chipewyan, the Nunee Health Authority and the Fort McKay Metis remain committed to the study.
The project is different from what Mikisew wanted, said John Rigney, director of special projects for the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation.
"Mikisew wants to focus more on the cancer side of things, which isn't the focus of this study," he said.
He said the project will take a broad look at health concerns in the two communities, from mental health to drinking water.
"There's a perception among us that there's an awful lot of cancer," he said. "We want to get to the root of that, but there's also other things we want to get to the root of."
Illnesses like arthritis and diabetes — which afflicts 10 per cent of Rigney's band — are also pressing concerns, he said.
The Alberta government has been promising a health study since Gene Zwozdesky, as provincial health minister, visited Fort Chipewyan in 2009.
Previous efforts to initiate a study have collapsed over disagreements about what it should study and who should run it.
Both Poitras and Rigney said the government's latest proposal came to them last summer out of the blue.
"It's frustrating at this end because the province comes to the community and says, 'We'll do the health study for you if you guys will sign this letter of intent,'" Rigney said. "But that means everybody has to follow (the province's) agenda and that's where the disagreement starts."
The issue of community health in the oilsands area is one of the main points repeatedly brought up by critics of the industry both in Canada and abroad.
The Alberta Cancer Board has found elevated rates of some types of cancer in Fort McKay and Fort Chipewyan. But the Royal Society of Canada found no evidence that specifically linked those rates to oilsands contaminants.
Poitras said the Mikisew will probably fund its own study.
That might work out fine, Rigney said.
"I don't see those studies conflicting. I don't see it as a bad thing."

Situation Update: Locust Crisis in Madagascar - 20 June 2013
Tags: MADAGASCAR, SOUTHERN AFRICA, MADAGASCAR LOCUST CRISIS, LOCUST, 1ST LOCUST CAMPAIGN, SITUATION REPORT,
Jun 2013
- Since April 2012, Madagascar has been facing a serious locust plague of the Malagasy Migratory Locust, that threatens the livelihoods of 13 million people in the country, nine million of whom earn a living from agriculture. Locust infestations, if untreated, could wipe out food crops and livestock grazing lands – and with it a family's ability to provide for itself.
- At least 1.5 million hectares could be infested by locusts in two-thirds of the country by September 2013. Findings from a recently concluded damage assessment indicate that rice and maize crop losses due to locusts in the mid- and southwestern part of Madagascar vary, on average, from 40 to 70 percent, reaching up to 100 percent in some plots.
- The Ministry of Agriculture of Madagascar declared a national disaster on 27 November 2012 and requested assistance from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to address the current locust plague.
- In response to the locust plague, an emergency programme, with the objective to safeguard the food security of rural populations, has been jointly prepared by FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture. An appeal to donors was launched in December 2012. It is estimated that at least three successive locust control campaigns (from September 2013 to September 2016), costing USD 41.5 million, are required to treat more than 2 million hectares (1.5 million hectares in 2013/14, 500 000 hectares in 2014/15 and 150 000 hectares 2015/16).
- The three-year programme includes:
- Improving the monitoring and analysis of the locust situation
- Large-scale aerial and ground control operations
- Monitoring and mitigating impact of locust control operations on human health and the environment
- Assessing the effectiveness of each locust campaign and the impact of locusts on crops and pastures
- In late February 2013, Cyclone Haruna worsened the situation. The cyclone, which hit the southwestern part of Madagascar, not only damaged crops and homes but also provided ideal breeding conditions for locusts for a longer period than usual.
- Out of the required USD 41.5 million over the three-year period, USD 22.4 million are needed by June 2013 to implement the first emergency campaign (from September 2013 to September 2014).
- The current funding gap is USD 41.5 million. Should all the required funds not be available on time to undertake the locust campaigns, the plague will persist several years, severely affecting food security, nutrition and livelihoods.

A study from Erasmus Research Institute of Management, a Netherlands-based think tank, finds China, not Wall Street bankers, was responsible for the global crisis and resulting recession. Rather than subprime bonds, collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and other "financial weapons of mass destruction" it was the saving frenzy of the Chinese that created cheap money, which in turn fueled the housing bubble in the United States, the think tank found.
The study's author, Heleen Mees, is assistant economics professor at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. She says that since exotic mortgage products accounted for less than 5% of the total number of new U.S. mortgages from 2000 to 2006, they could not have caused the housing market meltdown, CNBC reported.
"Mees, author of three books and contributor for Foreign Policy magazine, says it was the 'loose' monetary policy of the Federal Reserve at the beginning of the decade which sparked a refinancing boom in the U.S. in 2003 and 2004 and a growth in personal spending," the network said on its website. "This U.S. spending binge fueled economic growth in China and in turn boosted total savings in that country."
The study compared financial market responses to U.S., Chinese and German quarterly GDP from 2006 through 2009 and showed that the Chinese had been saving more than half of their GDP during that time. Those savings were heavily skewed toward fixed-income assets like government bonds and depressed interest rates worldwide from 2004 on, CNBC said. This allowed for interest rates around the world to fall, and sparked a boom in the U.S. housing market due to the availability of cheap money.
The study also said that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke "set the world up for the Great Recession by providing the 'intellectual backing for the aggressive rate cuts in the early 2000s," CNBC reported, adding that Mees recommends people read Economic Development with Unlimited Supplies of Labor by Arthur Lewis to understand the crisis. She says people should avoid Michael Lewis' bestseller, The Big Short.

March 14 is, by act of Congress, officially designated Pi Day.
Think about it for a minute and, if remember your high school math, you will understand why: 3.14 are the first three digits of Pi, which represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. If you are a purist you celebrated this occasion at 1:59 a.m. today (159 being the next three digits). If you use a 12-hour clock you could also celebrate at 1:59 p.m.
The value of Pi, an irrational number that goes on forever, has been figured to more than a trillion digits. We have neither the need nor the space for that here, but the challenge has helped to push the boundaries of computing.
According to Wikipedia, the day was first commemorated by physicist Larry Shaw of the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988. It was confirmed by Congress in 2009, when House Resolution 224 was passed by a vote of 391 to 10, making Pi Day possibly one of the last issues on which congressional Republicans and Democrats found agreement.

NIST math project expands the horizons of Web publishing
The significance of Pi goes well beyond high school mathematics. "It's one of a few numbers that seem to be fundamental and basic in math," said Daniel W. Lozier, retired lead of the mathematical software group in the Applied and Computational Mathematics Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Calculating the value of Pi has become something of a competition to mathematicians, and also has become an important tool in computing, Lozier said.
"It has played a role in computer programming and memory allocation and has led to ingenious algorithms that allow you to calculate this with high precision," he said. "It's a way of pushing computing machinery to its limits."
Because of the large strings of numbers involved, memory is a critical issue in doing calculations along with methods for efficient calculations.
"Pi serves as a test case for mathematical studies in the area of number theory," Lozier said.
One of the landmarks in calculating Pi was a 1962 paper by Daniel Shanks and John W. Wrench Jr. in the Mathematics of Computation. In 1949, it took the early ENIAC computer 70 hours to figure 2,037 digits of Pi. In 1959, it took an IBM 704 4 hours and 20 minutes to calculate it to 16,157 places. The authors of the paper estimated that it would take 167 hours and more than 38,000 words of memory to calculate to 100,000 places, but that could not be done because the IBM 704 did not have that capacity.
Using a new program and a new computer, the IBM 7090, in 1961 they were able to take the value to 100,000 places in 8 hours and 43 minutes, which was 20 times faster. The authors predicted that it would be another five to seven years before computers had the capacity to figure the value to 1 million places. In 1989, an IBM 3090 was able to take it to 1 billion places, which was pushed to 200 billion by 1999 and to 1.24 trillion places in 2005.
The record today is held by Japan's T2K Supercomputer, which figured the value to 2.6 trillion digits in about 73 hours, 36 minutes.
The House resolution on Pi Day notes that "mathematics and science are a critical part of our children's education, and children who perform better in math and science have higher graduation and college attendance rates."
Unfortunately, it also notes that American children score well behind students in many other countries in science and math, and that the United States has shown only minimal improvement in test scores since 1995.
So the House recognized the designation of Pi Day and supports its celebration around the world, encouraging schools and educators to observe the day with "appropriate activities that teach students about Pi and engage them about the study of mathematics."
H.R. 224 is non-binding, however, which is why you probably spend March 14 at work rather than celebrating at home with your family. But whether at work or at home, there are many uses of Pi. The most common, and the one you probably remember from high school, is figuring the area of a circle: A=Pi R-squared, where A is the area and R is the radius.
It also can be used to determine the volume of three-dimensional objects, such as a cylinder, which is useful in figuring the displacement of an internal combustion engine. Astronomers use it in figuring orbits and distances.
Unfortunately, it is not much use in cryptography, although modern crypto algorithms depend on random numbers. As an irrational number that goes on endlessly without repeating itself, Pi might seem like a good source of a random sequence, but since the value of Pi has been figured to so many decimal places, any sequence chosen from it is likely to be far too predictable to be secure.

A recent study seemed to suggest that political ideology can have a profound effect on how good you are at math. But how accurate is that finding?
In this video, Cambridge University mathematicians do a great job of breaking down the research and picking it apart. Turns out the findings are accurate—and they could be far more widely applicable than you might think. [YouTube]

The Summer of my Discontent
This has been a rough summer here at Chiot's Run. We've been super busy with our business, which is good for the checkbook, bad for the gardens. Because we're so busy we've had less time to work outside than we would have liked. We had a list of projects we wanted to complete and they're all still on the list.
I also had to deal with physical problem, so after months of pain, months of therapy and months of strict limitations on my physical activity, the gardens began showing a little neglect. My front flowerbeds remain only partially edged in rock walls.
That new flowerbed I dug in the spring still lies fallow, at least I planted some crimson clover in it to improve the soil. I wanted to get a fall cover crop growing, but was not allowed to turn the soil. So instead I spent the summer doing this, resting.
I did spend some time this spring building a lovely wall around my small cherry tree. A month or two later, my Dr said "no more heavy lifting for 3-4 months and only moderate lifting for a few months after that".
So, instead of spending lots of time building up the small retaining walls by the driveway and elsewhere the rocks sit at the edge of the driveway waiting for their final destination.
Since heavy lifting was out, watering by hand was out of the question. Mr Chiots installed a pump so I could use the rain water from my barrel system with the hose & sprinkler.
I also ended up with plants I didn't get planted, digging holes was also not allowed. I had trouble weeding, too much bending over caused too much pain. It wasn't until late this fall that I have been able to get out and put any amount of time in. I got a few things planted before the ground froze, I was at least able to weed the flowerbeds before the first frost. I'm finally on the mend and building up my strength once again. I love a good challenge though, so I'll spend all winter to getting ready for spring gardening season.
I laced up my running shoes last week for the first time in over a year (injury happened towards the end of Oct in 2008, last day running was the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day 2008). I hopped on my trusty treadmill and started the slow climb back to running races and serious gardening. It will be a month or two until I'm able to run outside, perfect timing since I love running in the cold snowy weather. Hopefully by spring gardening season I'll be ready to finish all those rock walls and turn all that soil.
All was not lost this summer, I could have spent the summer upset since I couldn't do much, but instead I learned to love the process of gardening. It's not a race to get things looking great right away. Gardening takes time, there are seasons involved, times for work and times for rest. 2009 happened to be a year of rest for me. I call it "The Summer of my Discontent", but in a way I learned to be content. I'm not one to sit around and relax, but I was forced to do so this summer and learned the value of it. Hopefully in coming years I'll be able to take time to relax and enjoy the fruits of my labor instead of working all the time.
Here's to the tough times, these are the times we learn the most about ourselves and grow the most as person. I'm looking forward to 2010 to see what it has in store for us here at Chiot's Run.
How you you summarize your 2009 gardening year?Filed under About Me, Miscellaneous | Comments (14)

I am glad I am not the only person up this early in the morning or you autoposted this. :0) In that case I might be the only one who woke at 30 thinking of the year to come and the one passing.
Sad to say my garden was neglected for pursuits outside my home that really had to reason for so much attention. I am thinking of that as I sit here at my dining room table and everyone is snoring including the dog.But he by my side….
I think times when we need to rest are times we need and they are when we can see the light bulb pop on and learn more. We are more open to learning and seeing what it is we need to see and learn than any other time. We are humbled….we can smell the roses more instead of thinking aren't those pretty but I have work to do.
Its funny I posted something kinda along these lines just a few minutes ago LOL Early morning ponderings or self realizations?

2009? Wet and disappointing.
I suspect that this coming gardening season is going to be a little more challenging, what with having a new baby and all that that entails.
Good luck with your recovery. You'll be racing along at top speed in no time.

I'm sorry that you weren't able to enjoy the garden much this year. At least you'll be ready to go for 2010! You're right that gardening is a process and shouldn't be a rush to get things done. 2009 was a good year for us in the garden overall. The vegetable garden wasn't as good as I had hoped. We actually had too much rain and it all came after I installed an irrigation system! It never really got used. We built an arbor, started a greenhouse-shed, and added rock borders to various beds.

2009 was a learning year. Realizing what we like to grow and eat and what we can best can and process for the winter time. Accepting the fact that I need to work and be employeed at this time and working with the time constraits that gives.

My garden was the most productive it has ever been…yet my list of 'wants and dreams' for it seems to be producing as fast as the garden.
I am glad you are on the mend and getting ready for next season…can't wait to see what you will do! Happy New Year, Kim

i had big gardening dreams, but they didn't turn out how i had planned! i tried to plant a small garden, but with working, taking care of 3 small kids, and being huge pregnant during the summer the garden was severely neglected! so bad that my husband mowed over it with the lawn mower bc he was embarrassed! i did manage to get some radished and lettuce from it before it got out of hand though. i also learned how to freeze corn & can green beans (from our friend's garden!) and also how to make applesauce with apples from a local orchard. hoping for more this year! hope you're feeling better susy… sounds like a serious injury?
to deedee's comment
I wondered why you were being so lazy.
Bwahahahahaha. :D
Are you kidding me? Even hurt you did more than many of us (self included!). I did not know you were in such a hard way. We will add you to our prayers for a full recovery.

to Chicago Mike's comment
Oh, my. Yes, those stones count as heavy lifting! Be good, and get better soon.
Unlike all our friends back East, we probably had our most productive year ever. Weather was, largely, great. Bugs were relatively rare. We quadrupled the garden, doubled the orchard, doubled the poultry pasture, and began preparing the grainfield area. Harvests were not our best per plant and the apples and plums were a bust, but the expansion added up to our best food preservation year.
In case all this activity puts y'all to wondering, I retired this year. Might have something to do with it, y'think? ;)

Glad you are feeling better! Here's to a new year! Gardening was a bit of a bust this year due to the rain and blight, but I'm hopeful as ever. The first catalog arrived the other day, and I'm already dreaming of what this year will bring. The process, I'm learning, is what I love.

Could you give me any easy tips on installing a pump on my water barrel? I only have one, so it would be silly to do anything fancy, but i just hate walkign back and forth a thousand million times and never REALLY getting the veggies watered deeply enough.

MANALAPAN, NJ - June 25, 2014 - Hope springs eternal as two-year-old New Jersey-sired pacers and trotters make their first career starts on Friday night, June 27, 2014 at the Meadowlands Racetrack.
Eight trotting colts - five sons of Muscles Yankee and three by Muscle Hill - will make their debuts in the second race, the first leg of the New Jersey Sire Stakes, vying for a purse of $39,000.
Seven trotting fillies, all by Muscle Hill, will go postward in the $38,500 fifth race.
Two divisions of pacing colts and geldings, each worth $27,000, are carded as the ninth and 12th races on the 14-race card. In the first split, there are six sons of Rocknroll Hanover, two by Cam's Card Shark and one by Western Ideal. In the second division, five are by Rocknroll Hanover, and two each by Cam's Card Shark and Western Ideal.
Two-year-old pacing fillies are competing in a pair of $25,500 divisions, races three and 11, and include seven by Rocknroll Hanover and five by Western Ideal.
Yearling prices do not guarantee great racehorses but expectations will be high for the six entrants who cost $100,000 or more as yearlings.
Among the trotters, they are French Laundry, a $115,000 Lexington Selected Sale purchase trained by Jimmy Takter and winner in both of his baby races, including a 1:57.3 clocking on June 14. The son of Muscles Yankee is out of the $927,169-earner and Hambletonian Oaks winner Creamy Mimi, who is also the dam of The Franchise and King City. French Laundry races for Christina Takter, John Fielding, Jim Fielding and co-breeders Marvin Katz and Al Libfeld.
True Blue Stride, a Muscle Hill son of Sabrina Hall, cost $160,000 at the Harrisburg Sale. He is the three-quarter brother of He's A Demon, who banked more than $300,000. Mark Harder trains for Australians Emilio and Maria Rosati.
The filly Mission Brief, trained by Ron Burke, was a $150,000 Lexington Selected Sale purchase by Burke Racing, Our Horse Cents Stables, J&T Silva Stables and Weaver Bruscemi. The daughter of Muscle Hill is out of Breeders Crown winner Southwind Serena and won her last baby race by 23 lengths in 1:57.4.
On the pacing side, Richard and Joanne Young have invested $180,000 [Lexington Selected Sale] in The Show Returns by Rocknroll Hanover out of Stienam's Place and turned her over to trainer Chris Ryder. The Youngs campaigned her $2.4 million earning full sister Put On A Show.
Tony Alagna is training Cashaway for Brittany Farms [co-breeder] and Marvin Katz, after the Western Ideal -CPA filly passed through the Lexington Selected sales ring for $105,000. She is the full sister to two who have won in excess of $250,000 each, Authorize and Act Now, and has won a baby race in 1:55.4.
The Rocknroll Hanover colt Sid Rock is the first foal of My Fantasy, who earned nearly $345,000. He was a $100,000 Lexington Selected Sale purchase for William Wiswell, Jean Goehlen and Eugene Schick and is trained by John Butenschoen.

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Butalbital and aspirin combination is a pain reliever and relaxant. It is used to treat tension headaches. Butalbital belongs to the group of medicines called barbiturates. Barbiturates act in the central nervous system (CNS) to produce their effects.
When you use butalbital for a long time, your body may get used to it so that larger amounts are needed to produce the same effects. This is called tolerance to the medicine. Also, butalbital may become habit-forming (causing mental or physical dependence) when it is used for a long time or in large doses. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects when you stop taking the medicine. In patients who get headaches, the first symptom of withdrawal may be new (rebound) headaches.
Some of these medicines also contain caffeine. Caffeine may help to relieve headaches. However, caffeine can also cause physical dependence when it is used for a long time. This may lead to withdrawal (rebound) headaches when you stop taking it.
Butalbital and aspirin combination is sometimes also used for other kinds of headaches or other kinds of pain, as determined by your doctor.
These medicines are available only with your doctor's prescription.
