Editing: a key part of the writing process
Getting Ink gives some good constructive criticism to a few press releases it has seen this week. Some mistakes include grammar, capitalization and style. Of the three analyzed, my favorite is:
8 Tips to Help Your Child with SATs tests This May
If I was a parent and saw this headline, I would not read it. Why should I trust your tips, if you can't even write correctly?
As a PR student, the consequences for grammar and writing mistakes are pretty rigorous. I took a class called Writing for the Media that rewarded a big fat 'F' if there was one mistake – harsh, but a great incentive for proofreading. Luckily, students in that class had the chance to rewrite each 'F,' but this is not how the real world works.
There are very few, if any, second chances once you send out a release to a publication. Training early to watch for errors is good. As the editorial services director for Allen Hall Public Relations, here are a couple of common errors I've seen that can be easily avoided:
- Misspelled names and titles – It is extremely important to spell names correctly because no one wants to see his or her name spelled wrong. The person always notices.
- Incorrect title punctuation and style – This is the first thing the reader sees. It should be error free and appealing.
- Inaccurate information – What is the reporter going to do when it finds your information is inaccurate? First, the person will either conduct more research than necessary or not write the story. Second, the person will toss your next press release.

MADISON -- Two new transitional deacons will be ordained for the Diocese of Madison on Friday, May 25, at 7:30 p.m. in the chapel of the Bishop O'Connor Catholic Pastoral Center in Madison.
Bishop Robert C. Morlino will ordain Vince Brewer and Garrett Kau as transitional deacons. God willing, they will be ordained to the priesthood in 2013.
Brewer is in his third year of theology studies at Blessed John XXIII National Seminary in Weston, Mass.
A native of Richland Center, Brewer served in the Navy for six years during the Iran-Iraq War. After that he attended the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, earning a bachelor's degree in communications management.
He worked for a radio station in Dubuque, Iowa, and then worked for TDS in Madison.
The call to the priesthood came off and on during his life and emerged again after he finished a year of duty for the U.S. Central Command in Qatar.
He applied to be a seminarian for the Diocese of Madison and in 2008, he started his studies at Blessed John XXIII National Sem- inary, which specializes in "second career" vocations.
Brewer said, "I'm excited to be ordained after years of study, but I am also humble, because this is not something I'm achieving on my own. It takes the prayers and support of the community, the Church, and God."
Kau is in his third year of theology studies at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver, Colo. He grew up in rural Palmyra. Although officially from St. Mary Help of Christians Parish in Sullivan, that parish was linked at one time with St. Mary in Palmyra, so both parishes "claim" him.
Kau obtained a bachelor's degree in bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He became involved at St. Paul's University Catholic Center.
He met a number of diocesan seminarians when he attended World Youth Day in Germany in 2005. In 2006, he attended a men's retreat at the Bishop O'Connor Center in Madison and was impressed by a panel of priests who spoke about their vocations.
That spring he applied to be a seminarian for the Diocese of Madison. He began his studies in the fall of 2006 at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary.
He looks forward to ordination. "After over six years of preparation it's great to have the diaconate finally on the horizon. At the end of the day, it is Jesus calling me. I've been doing my best to say 'yes' — now I need the grace to do what God has called me to do."

This afternoon I had the pleasure of delivering an impressive Valentine's Day arrangement to a resident. She had been quietly enjoying her Saturday, which consisted mostly of sitting in her recliner watching television and waiting for dinner. Suddenly, though, I popped around the corner holding a lovely bouquet from the local florist. It was an event, and one we both enjoyed.
I work with a great Director who sometimes laments that she misses the days when she was able to work more directly with the residents. You've heard your managers voice similar concerns, reflecting on their former roles in direct care positions and supervisory roles. As a department leader or Administrator in a CCRC setting though, these daily opportunities are rarely included in your job description. You must seek them out; they probably won't just come to you. Even as a leader, as a manager, as a Director, you must connect with the residents you serve. Especially as a leader.
So I grab these flowers from the reception desk as I scoot in this morning. Sure, they probably already called down to the nurses station when the flowers arrived, and someone on the other end said they'd be down when they had a moment. I may even pass them on the way down. But c'mon, this is no chore! I'm heading that way anyways, so I'll just take those flowers, Nancy!
It's a ten-minute walk across campus as I snake through the buildings, and though I sometimes exaggerate, I'm sure no less than 15 people made some comment about these flowers. What a hit! This will definitely be a feel-good moment for Ms. R. As I finally reach her room, I hear one last person down the hall saying, "Awwwww, for me?" I knock and thrust the roses in front of the awed resident for her inspection.
For the next 15 minutes, this lovely resident tells me all about her family as I help her unpack the carefully cellophaned arrangement. I make sure to ask her permission each time I pull anything away, and I am careful not to look at the contents of the card. I don't throw anything away without her permission either, and I make sure that the flowers are left in a place that is a) sturdy, b) where she can see them, and c) in a place where other people can see them and ask her about them.
So what, you ask? Well, I find that I often miss these opportunities with both my own Grandmother and other people's Grandmothers, and now I'm reminded of the little things in life. So, if you have a Grandma, send her flowers for Valentine's Day - it really DOES make her feel good. And if you're an employee, grab the flowers when you walk past them at the reception desk.
It's your perfect opportunity to connect.

A pensioner from New Zealand went blind after drinking vodka only to regain his sight with the aid of whisky.
Denis Duthie, 65, was celebrating his parents' 50th wedding anniversary in Taranaki on New Zealand's North Island when he drunk some vodka given to him by his catering students from the Western Institute of Technology.
The vodka reacted with his diabetes medication and hours later Duthie lost his eyesight.
He told the New Zealand Herald: "I thought it had got dark and I'd missed out on a bit of time but it was only half past three in the afternoon. I was fumbling around the bedroom for the light switch.
"I'd just gone completely blind."
Duthie thought the blindness might be temporary and tried to sleep it off but he was still blind when he woke up the following morning.
He visited the Taranaki Base Hospital and was taken into theatre immediately. The surgeon said that when they cut into his stomach, there was a strong smell similar to nail varnish remover.
The doctor said that Duthie was suffering from formaldehyde poisoning, which is associated with consuming methanol. To counteract the poison, he needed ethanol, a type of alcohol found in whisky.
As the hospital did not have enough medical ethanol, the doctor went to the local off-licence and purchased a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label whisky, which was then drip-fed to Duthie.
"I woke up five days later and I could see as soon as I could open my eyes," Duthie said.
Vodka has been known to cause blindness by containing dangerous levels of methanol.

Raqs Media Collective: Not Yet At Ease
Co-commissioned by 14-18 NOW 2018
29 September 2018 - 20 January 2019 10am - 5pm
Sat 29 Sept 2018 – Sun 20 Jan 2019
Opening celebration Fri 28 Sept 6–9pm
Not Yet At Ease explores the history of psychological disorders resulting from conflict and the stigmas attached to them. Using poetry and performance, this immersive artwork is inspired by letters written by soldiers during wartime. The internationally renowned, Delhi-based Raqs Media Collective have based this new work on their theory that the symptoms of 'shell shock' were first observed by military censors, who noticed a tendency among some Indian soldiers to break out spontaneously into 'poetry' in the letters they wrote from battlefields, barracks and hospitals. Not Yet At Ease gives voice to these words. This major commission reworks letters, photographs and documents dating back to the First World War. Innovative video and sound installations tell the story of the condition known at the time as 'shell shock' and considers how attitudes have changed towards those who carry the psychological burdens of war. In doing so, Not Yet At Ease invites visitors to explore interlinked histories of war, poetry and mental health.

Canadian accountants likely spend the majority of their days pouring over the financial figures provided by their clients, whether they be individuals or entire businesses. As some of the most highly qualified economic experts in the nation, accountants and bookkeepers are the types of professionals any Canadian company owner would want handling tasks like accounts payable and receivable, invoicing, tax filing and other responsibilities.
After all, accountants and bookkeepers went to school for an extended amount of time to be able to take care of all of the financial needs of a company of almost any size and industry.
While it can be very tempting for accountants to just leave their work on their desks and not apply their skills when they go home at the end of the day, that's not always the best approach. In fact, when accounting experts head home, they should be personally motivated to record and manage household expenses and outlays.
Recent information from the Chartered Professional Accountants (CPA) of Canada supports this view.
Make joint financial decisions
The CPA suggested that for optimal results, spouses need to work together to make financial decisions. This is true even if one of the two is literally a bookkeeping expert. The good thing is, many Canadians are already doing this - 85 percent of respondents said they consult their partner before making a major purchase. However, the figure dipped below 50 percent when measuring how often Canadians consult with spouses to ensure tax returns are filed and bills are paid.
"Open lines of communication are important to make sure that couples are on the same page when it comes to money management," noted CPA Director Nicholas Cheung.
What should professionals do?
Wouldn't it just be easier if the accountant in the family handled these types of responsibilities? While it might be more practical, the professionals won't want to feel like they're still working when they're at home, and their spouses will appreciate being kept in the loop about shared finances.
The best thing bookkeepers can do to make sure the adults in the family are on the same page is simply to work on his or her work-life balance. Even if you own your own accounting firm, the situation is different at home - there are people who will hold you directly accountable for each and every decision you make, because it's their money too.
As long as professionals can draw a clear distinction between business and personal finances, they should be able to separate the two parts of their lives well.

The west's leading economics thinktank told George Osborne today that he may need to delay plans to cut Britain's record peacetime budget deficit as it warned that the pace of recovery was slowing in developed nations.
In a marked change of view from its support in the spring for immediate fiscal belt-tightening, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development advised its rich-country members that they should consider postponing retrenchment if the recent weakness in activity persisted.
The OECD's caution came as the UK registered its worst-ever trade deficit in goods and services of £13.2bn and ratings agency Standard & Poor's said the coalition's austerity programme could trigger a wave of home repossessions.
The chancellor seized on OECD recommendations earlier this year as backing for his austerity programme – an initial £6bn of cuts announced in May to be followed by a spending review next month that will cut spending by Whitehall departments by an average of 25% during the course of this parliament.
However, the U-turn by the Paris-based thinktank has left its stance closer to that of the outgoing Labour government, which argued that action to tackle the deficit ought to wait until economic recovery was assured.
The OECD said it was too early to say whether recent evidence of the loss of momentum in the recovery was temporary or permanent, but said the G7 group of industrialised nations – the US, Britain, Japan, Germany, France, Italy and Canada – were now likely to grow by 1.5% at an annual rate during the second half of 2010 compared with the 1.75% predicted in May.
In its latest forecast, the thinktank said it expected a gradual deceleration in growth from the peak in the second quarter of 2010. The OECD has pencilled in G7 expansion at an annualised 1.4% in the third quarter and 1% in the fourth, down from 3.2% in the first quarter and 2.5% in the second.
The US is expected to grow at an annualised rate of 2% in the third quarter, slowing to 1.2% in the fourth, after 1.6% in the second quarter and 3.7% in the first three months of the year. In Japan, GDP growth is forecast at 0.7% in the fourth quarter after 0.6% in the third. The UK is set to grow at an annualised rate of 2.7% in the third quarter, slowing to 1.5% in the final three months of the year.
"Recent high-frequency indicators point to a slowdown in the pace of recovery of the world economy that is somewhat more pronounced than previously anticipated," the OECD said.
"It is not yet clear whether the loss of momentum in the recovery is temporary … or whether it signals greater underlying weaknesses in private spending at a time when public support is being removed."
A spokesman for the Treasury said that the UK growth figures showed that the economy was recovering.
"The OECD's latest forecasts have the UK growing faster than any country in the G7 this quarter and second fastest next quarter, at rates broadly in line with the OBR's [Office for Budget Responsibility's] budget forecast," he said.
The OECD said that if the slowdown were to prove temporary, the right response would be for central banks to put back plans to raise interest rates "for a few months".
Borrowing costs in the UK were left unchanged at 0.5% by the Bank of England today, with some analysts speculating that the Bank might restart its quantitative easing programme to boost the economy within the next few months. The Bank has already pumped £200bn of electronic money into the banking system through the purchase of gilts, but the monetary policy committee decided to maintain the policy at that level for now.
The OECD added, however, that stronger action would be required if the slowdown reflected "longer-lasting forces bearing down on activity". In those circumstances, it said that central banks might need to carry out more quantitative easing and commit to rock-bottom rates for a longer period: "Where public finances permit, planned fiscal consolidation could be delayed."
The Treasury said it would press ahead with cuts in public spending and rejected claims that the plans could force the economy back into recession.
The spokesman said: "The UK has the largest deficit in the G7 and it is critical for growth in the longer term that government deals with the deficit."
Several experts said the slowing world economy would hurt UK exports and depress growth below the OECD forecasts, pushing the central bank to spend another £50bn in quantitative easing to boost the economy before the end of the year.

This is from an article originally printed in the Calgary Herald on July 4th, 2017.
The panel, which didn't hold public engagement sessions in Calgary, cited criticisms that having the NEB headquartered in the city sets the stage for "undue influence" and could "erode" the regulator's independence.
The federal government appears to have rejected the recommendation, which triggered opposition in Alberta over the perceived implication that NEB staffers in Calgary are biased in favour of the energy industry because of where they work.
Some of Alberta's top politicians and business groups took aim at the expert panel's call to move swaths of the NEB to the national capital, including the board of directors, staff who oversee energy information and part of the office that looks after government co-ordination.
Kent Hehr, the lone Calgarian in Justin Trudeau's Liberal cabinet, pushed back against the proposal, arguing the city has "a long line of expertise and talent," and that the NEB's analyses of energy projects from its Calgary offices are "comprehensive."
Legge said the perception that Alberta is consistently slighted by Ottawa "is in our DNA," but he said the facts don't support this view, noting the province has attracted strong support from the federal government, including the approval of two pipelines.
Natural Resources Canada said Tuesday that while it considers maintaining the energy regulator in Calgary, there may be ways to increase its presence in regions across the country "in areas where the organization is overseeing different activities."

Rebuilding has the added benefit of the players reading through the rules enough to make decisions about their character. Based on feedback so far, this is working as intended. There are lots of questions. Not just rules questions, but questions about how it matches up with how their characters were meant to be played.
Characters will be based on the default array - 15, 14, 13, 12, 20, 8. This is primarily due to my limited experience with 5th edition and my suspicion that taking the original rolls from the other game (4d6 drop lowest, arrange as desired - reroll if you get a loser) would be over powered and make it challenging for me to design encounters. Also this has the benefit of making the players think hard on the decision to up ability scores versus taking a feat.
The basic instructions was this: Rebuild your character from first level attempting as best you can to model it after your character, as initially intended, from the earlier game. Therefore, I am not worried if they were a multiclass and whether or not the class split was the same. Does you character feel similar enough to make you happy? Let us avoid having to retcon how you managed to do all sorts of things previously that you cannot seem to do now.
If backgrounds in the Player's Handbook do not fit the character concept, I have told them it is easy enough for us to create another back ground. As I read them, they are fairly easy to develop and keep within the limits of fairness.
There are a few places where the rebuild is a little more challenging.
- Clerics: previously they had two domains, and now they will have only one. We are just going to have to suck this one up. The single domains are too powerful for me to be handing out additional domain powers. Most NPC clerics really focused on one domain over the other - so the feel should not suffer much. I only had one player character cleric, and she may not be coming back, so the character impact may be low/none.
- Paladin/Sorcerer multi-class character: one player used this build focusing on the Sorcerer buffs to his Paladin. With the concentration mechanic, that is significantly different. I think it still will be a viable character, however I gave the player the out to have an 'accident' happend to his character. He has decided to stick with the character so we will see how it works out.
- Sorcerer blood line fluff: neither I nor the player liked the sorcerer dragon blood line bit about scales, or the AC with no armor feature. It was easy enough to house rule some variation. I replaced AC feature with draconic senses - proficiency in perception, or expertise in perception if proficiency already existed.
- Some spells are missing: I will be creating some new 5th edition spells to give them the same capability. That should not be too hard.
- Magic & Masterwork item inventory: There are just too many items in their possession to work as the 5th edition game is designed. Masterwork items become 'nice' items worth money but having no mechanical benefit in combat. I am going over each magic item in their possession and making rulings. They are 8th level, so they will have some items. All weapons with a plus greater than 1 are now +1 weapons. Same for armor. Other items where I feel they are overpowered will be turned into items with charges that do something similar, but not the same. This will include every item which gives an ability bonus. If there is interest, I would post about the magic items conversions.
Lastly, even those these are experienced characters with lots of role playing behind them (they are 8th level), I have asked them to fill out the character description section: traits, ideals, bonds, flaws. I think it is good to get in the spirit of 5th edition, plus summarizing those points will help them get back into role player as we have had a several year hiatus on this game.
That is it. I have made it sound way more simple that it was to get to this point. So far I have one player completed his character rebuild, and others in various places in the process. I hope to have a rebuild & restart session to get everyone up to speed soon.
The dice never lie.

Jim Coulter of Flat Rock agrees with those who have other ideas concerning the longevity of his daily ride, a GMC truck he purchased in 1998 when he retired.
Jim Coulter of Flat Rock agrees with those who have other ideas concerning the longevity of his daily ride, a GMC truck he purchased in 1998 when he retired. "I vowed that this truck would last me the rest of my life if I really took good care of it," says Mr. Coulter. "Since I consider myself a good, patriotic, red-blooded American, who is also a veteran of the U.S. Army, I figured I would help my country and the world by using ethanol-spiked gasoline in my vehicle. I mean, what could it hurt? I'd be contributing to a great cause by not adding more hydrocarbons to the atmosphere, right? But for the past two years or so, my truck didn't seem to perform quite as well as it used to, and I passively chalked it up to older age. Then a mechanic friend of mine suggested I run a tank of ethanol-free gas through her. So I did. And believe you me, what a difference it made! Ah, but here's the stickler: How about 50 cents more per gallon for that better performance? But wait. If you add something (ethanol) to an existing product, wouldn't that make it cost more? Why is the ethanol gasoline lower in price than the plain Jane gasoline? I have talked to various mechanics, and they've told me the older vehicles (older than 2008) aren't conditioned to use ethanol-added gasoline, and it will eventually do much harm to the engine, as opposed to the newer vehicles on the road today. Now I'm between a rock and a hard spot. I'm damned if I use it and damned if I don't. As was stated by someone else, we all better get ready to own an electric car."
'GOVERNMENT CONTROL': Boyd Peyton of Hendersonville is asking, "Why are people who believe in ever-increasing government control called liberals? What's liberal about government control? Isn't that a contradiction in terms? The entire history of humankind, until 1776, is a dreadful chronicle of mass misery and suffering under government control by one name or another. Government control is a snare and deception, entirely retrogressive."
MORE CHANGE, PLEASE: A young man from the backwoods was in Chicago for the first time. He walked into an Automat and dropped nickels, dimes and quarters into various coin-operated food dispensers and covered six tables with a wide variety of sandwiches, cakes, pies, salads, beverages and puddings. Then he rushed gleefully to the cashier, changed more bills into silver and began putting more coins into the slots and pulled out more dishes of food. The manager, who had been observing him, finally stopped him and demanded an explanation. "What's the matter?" the man said. "Are you sore at me because I'm winning?"

A visual schedule is a set of pictures that communicates a series of activities or the steps of a specific activity.
It shows an individual on the autism spectrum what activities will occur, and in what sequence.
A schedule can be created using photographs, pictures,written words, physical objects or any combination of these items.
Schedules can be put into notebooks, onto a wall or schedule board or onto a computer.
Most visual schedules are introduced with adult guidance that gradually decreases with time. Eventually, the individual with autism may learn to create their own schedules.

There was a ripple of excitement in the Banner office this week with the arrival of press release which stood out from the plethora of others with the headline: Zennor Petroleum eyes Arran development.
Well, it is not the first time that the oil and gas exploration has been discussed in the Firth of Clyde. We saw a mini oil boom heading for Brodick and wondered if the hotels could cope and if the new ferry terminal was going to be big enough.

Badly injured and seemingly dead, even this seems to be a better stroke of luck than squad-mate Yamano, who is introduced to us via a few flashbacks before... well, she gets eaten. With things rapidly turning south, the powers that be have no choice but to take drastic measures to keep the Gauna at bay, no matter what that might mean for the well-being of those still on the ground. Somehow, Tanikaze manages to revive out of nowhere to launch his own attack on the Gauna before being lifted to safety by his escaping teammates.
Understandably given the circumstances, Tanikaze finds the aftermath of this incident difficult to cope with - he can't eat, and anything that provokes thought of the Gauna attack leaves vomiting or worse. With the Gauna having recovered from its temporary incapacitation, it's going to take some of Sidonia's finest to put paid to the terror it could unleash... is Tanikaze one of the individuals best suited for the job, or is he going to be too busy fending off the attention of an ever-growing number of females?
Much like its first episode, this instalment of Knights of Sidonia is an odd one to sum up - its world-building is fascinating, even if a lot of the facts about said world are thrown out apropos of nothing, but its story-telling is disjointed and flits around in a frustrating fashion. Throw in the weird way in which the show is setting Tanikaze up as some kind of harem comedy lead at times and it feels like the show is turning its focus in all the wrong directions. There's clearly a great series fighting to get out here, but between the narrative frustrations and the struggles of the show's CG to look anything other than terrible a lot of the time it's a fight that it's currently losing.

Her are some random jokes all about lawns and lawn mowers of course. I pulled these off the Internet for a little laughter on the site…take a look you just might smile, for this morning is not all bad…
Don't forget to Comment, thanks for reading…
"A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken."
"Why are husbands like lawn movers?"
"They are difficult to get started, and then they don't work half the time."
"There's one good thing about snow, it makes your lawn look as nice as your neighbors."
My daughter Renee asked if she could use my lawn mower. I told her of course she could, so long as she didn't take it out of my yard!"
"The key to a nice-looking lawn is a good mower. I recommend one who has short shorts and a tank top!"
The Lawn Mower
Last year, when the power mower was broken and wouldn't run, I kept hinting to my husband that he ought to get it fixed, but somehow the message never sank in.
Finally I thought of a clever way to make the point. When my husband arrived home that day, he found me seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. He watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.
He was gone only a few moments when he came out again. He handed me a toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," he said, "you might as well sweep the sidewalks."
The doctors say he will probably live, but it will be quite awhile before the cast will be off!!!
Of course that's just a few of them online that I did a simple search for. I hope you liked and please leave your comments and sign that guest book please… and thank you..

Junior doctors are working in "immoral" conditions where they are forced to make life and death decisions after 36 hours shifts, the Health Minister has admitted.
James Reilly said he had no excuse for the system which allows newly qualified doctors to work long hours for very little pay.
He said it was "perverse" that people were training here and fleeing the country for work.
Mr Reilly said: "This is one of the most serious problems we have, these are the brightest and best and they study extraordinarily hard in school to achieve 580 points, a margin of error of 3%.
"They study for five years in college and then they come out to bewilderness, no mentoring, no advice on what career path to take, no idea of what the areas that hold best potential future career, no clear career path.
"This is our problem it us our fault it of the medical profession too who have allowed this to evolve and who continue."
Young doctors have launched a campaign to highlight the fact that they are working 100 hours a week, despite a EU directive in place saying they can't work more than 48 hours.
Minister Reilly said there was no defending it and he wasn't going to pretend this was right.
He said: "I do think it is wrong and unsafe to make life and death decisions after being on their feet for 36 hours, it is wrong.
"There is no defending it. We are going to address it and we will in a very short sharp exercise."
Minister Reilly added: "We are presiding over a perversity where our brightest and best are trained by us to go away while we scour the third world and rob them and defy them of their doctors. It is immoral, it is wrong, it has to be addressed."
Speaking before an Oireachtas committee, the Minister said he had commissioned a report into the scandal and wanted to have it on his desk by September.
Mr Reilly said: "I want to introduce fairness, transparency and above all I want our doctors to stay here to look after us.
"It is a battle, make no mistake. There are vested interests who are very happy with the status quo.
"I do not accept the status quo. It has not delivered for patients and is not delivering for our doctors or our nurses."
The Health Minister also confirmed the HSE would no longer be in control of its own budget and that from January 2014, he would take the reins.
This will mean that there will be no more separate budgets for the Health Service Executive and the Department of Health.
HSE boss Tony O'Brien said it is running €49.34 million into the red within the first five months of the year.
He said the body had to make €353 million savings and admitted it couldn't make it without tough cuts.
Mr O'Brien said HSE has asked community and hospital services to look for extra cost-cutting measures this year to avoid cuts to patient services.
Mr O'Brien said that without corrective action, community and hospital services there will be in deficit of €104 million for the current financial year.
He said that these cost-savings are necessary to avoid any impact on direct services.

EmptyShift changes at CNN
CNN is saying goodbye to several longtime correspondents and promoting others in a reorganization of the news network's Washington bureau. Among the moves, Washington-based correspondents Jamie McIntyre, Kathleen Koch and Kelli Arena are leaving the channel, according to reports, while Ed Henry was named senior White House correspondent.
Leno on a roll
NBC is savoring Jay Leno's late-night performance in the fewer than 160 episodes of "The Tonight Show" he has left. The week before the broadcaster said Leno would move to primetime, "Tonight" brought in its biggest audience since February, averaging 5.3 million viewers during the week ending Dec. 5, Nielsen said. Late-night ratings are a week behind, so the ratings from last week won't be known until Thursday.

This digital wall decal is designed to look like a pin, similar to the ones in smartphone map apps like Drop Pin and Google Maps. The red bubble-esque wall art also has the phrase "you are here" cut out in block letters. The reassuring sign is reminiscent of the Douglas Adams classic comic science fiction series 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy,' which is also a 2005 film.
The red pin-like digital wall decal can serve as a reminder not to panic, especially if you find the world is ending due to Earth's scheduled demolition to make way for an intergalactic bypass. It also has a calming effect if you're overwhelmed with school work or are stressed out at the office. The decor is an excellent addition to a home office or work space, but could easily be affixed to any wall.

I figured if whoever I was looking for was seen in town, there'd be someone at Garabaldi's who would know. Maybe even the gnome himself, after all despite his oddities, he payed pretty good attention to who came in.
I stepped through the door to see a huge crowed. Of course, it was story day. Everyone was going to be boasting tales about their past and perhaps their family's war tales. They'd also be from everywhere. Talk about good timing for the murdering bastard. I walk towards the bar and see Ustalv Garabaldi's white hair bouncing. "Hey Ustalv."
"What, one second." He hopped on his stool to see over the bar. "Oh Keyadrune! How ya doin? You look, well you look like shit."
"Yeah, came to talk about that actually, got somewhere quieter?"
"Sure, come back here. Hey Missy! Going back, come tend the bar!" he shouted to his only floorwench before hoping off the stool and leading me to the pantry. "What's going on?"
"Unali's dead, someone killed her and destroyed my lodge while I was out helping that goat herder with a wolf problem. Whoever did it came here to town after."
"What, that's crazy! How did they even find your place? I can't even find your place."
"I'm serious Ustalv, found her three days ago. Anyone strange around here about that time?"
"Lots of odd ones lately, tonight and all. However, there was one group."
"Tell me."
"Fancy dressed man, but his clothes dirty like he'd been roaming a little. Two men with him in robes and hoods. Payed well, but then his coin turned out to be worthless. Red tint to the gold, real, but no one in town will take it."
"Got a few with you?"
I pulled a gold coin from my belt pouch. "I'll trade one now, and others for more information if you get it."
"You sure, no one takes it."
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"Okay, thanks. You not bad Keyadrune." He said as he traded coins with me.
"I just want these guys, and if that tingle in the back of my head is right. Missy and Melcath aren't getting along again."
"Yeah we should get back, get your crazy cat out of the way so we can deal with the customers."
We returned to the main room. Mellcath was indeed behind the bar, being a general nuisance. I called him to me and found a corner to watch the tavern for something or someone who might know what was going on.
After sitting a while, a dwarf started the local ritual for the night of telling a grand story of how he killed several dragons with his axe. He was obviously drunk and exaggerating. He took offense when someone challenged his story, but passed out mid charge. The man who challenged him spoke grandly of slaying demons with his odd sword. I sensed something amiss, and spoke out myself. He drew, stepped my way, and tripped… which promptly dispelled the illusion he was using. The now embarrassed twig of a man ran out of the tavern. Someone called for a true story. I said I had no true stories of heroism, only of pain.
Another insisted I tell. I frustration with life, combined with a little to drink convinced me to stand and silence this silly gathering with the truth of monsters. I told of the day a giant black cloud of death descended on the village I grew up in many years ago. How anything it touched burned, and how no one could stop it. Then I drew my bow, and explained how it, in the hands of my father, proved there was something killable in the middle of that cloud. Then, I warned them that the cloud had returned recently and was attacking creatures in the wilderness.
This didn't have the effect I'd hoped for. Ustalv spoke about how my story was indeed true. He was followed up by another, a human in dark robes. The human spoke of how the thing was tied to a great war long ago. He spoke of heroes who were declared enemies. He said that he was chasing the darkness that had returned, and wanted to support it. Someone realized he was a cultist of the general from said war. Someone attacked him, the same darkness sprung forth from him and flung his attacker aside. Others attacked, and were killed for their trouble. I grabbed my bow, and shot. My arrow wounded him, but then he threw something from his hand to the ground. All was blackness.

There're several messages like this one with a doc page saying "don't translate this message", but it doesn't make sense. Anyway, people keep translating those. Can anyone explain this? Or fix this, if needed?
Many developers are not aware of our optional/ignored system (which they don't have direct access to).
But it won't do any harm if I translate those, will it?
Hei I would like to change my name to Amjad Khan, someone please change my name Best Regards
Hi! External Guidance extension needs doc pages to provide context. I don't know what I'm translating.
- MediaWiki:Externalguidance-specialpage-mt-pageexist/en
- MediaWiki:Externalguidance-specialpage-mt-intro/en
Do the translation variables on the pages above represent languages?
The documentation is fixed. See.
Newly, the data on Special:LanguageStats are no longer updated
Please have a look.
We can no longer force it with "&action=purge" either, it just does nothing. I believe someone managed to force a purge yesterday (I got the "refreshing stats" message when viewing the stats) and since then it neither refreshes nor allows a purge.
Likely https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Translate/+/468319
I saw timeouts on our logs, so likely I should move that to the JobQueue.
Anyway, we should hunt down why it's not updating as it should.
Virtually, we can not see the messages that need to be translated. Does this mean that we must retire temporarily?
I have cherry-picked by untested fix and purged all statistics. Give some time for them to repopulate. Let me know if you see further issues of stats not updating.
I do not mean any abuse. I mean it's because we need to update stats automatically.Thanks for responding

I'm trying to add translations for Northern Thai and I'm having problems putting them in the right place. The root of the problem is that there are three groups of writing systems:
- nod-Lana: The Tai Tham script writing system. The language name may be written ᨣᩤᩴᨾᩬᩥᨦ in this group.
- One variant of nod-Thai, which is a transliteration of nod-Lana, though it does not faithfully represent mere spelling variations within nod-Lana. In this scheme, the language name may be written คำเมือง.
- The other variant of nod-Thai, where stop consonants have their Siamese values rather than the Northern Thai values as in the previous scheme. In these schemes, the language name may be written กำเมือง, as seen in the longer form กำเมืองล้านนา used by the 2017 New Testament.
The Northern Thai wikipedia, currently only in the incubator, is primarily in Scheme 1, with Scheme 2 desired as an alternative orthography. Most users of the language can't read scheme 1. Most users of the language should be able to read standard Thai, and therefore be able to read scheme 2, where words are often the same as in Standard Thai. Scheme 3 is the natural one for sounding words out, and is the Thai script scheme chosen for the New Testament. It also seems to be the one with the greatest informal use. Most of the Northern Thai Wikipedia 'community' seem to turn their noses up at it. I argue that 'nod' ought to imply 'nod-Thai'; I further believe that it should imply Scheme 3 rather than Scheme 2.
As far as I can make out from the nod portal, translatewiki is set up to support schemes 1 and 2, and they appear to be nod and nod-Thai. When I choose the language to translate to, the names available for selecting a language are nod and คำเมือง. As the name is in the Thai script, I assumed I would have selected a Thai script orthography, and from the first letter, scheme 2 above. However, the entries I have added (all in the Thai script) by selecting the language คำเมือง are all stored in the "nod" language variant, which appears to be intended for the Tai Tham script version (Scheme 1).
Note that translations to Scheme 2 can naturally fall back to standard Thai.
My immediate request is to be able to select Scheme 2 for entering translations; that is the more useful scheme with fairly obvious spellings. (Scheme 3 seems to have several subschemes, some based on dialect areas - Chiang Rai v. Chiang Mai.) So, how do I select Scheme 2 for data entry? Scheme 2 translations can be converted to Scheme 1 translations fairly easily, though full automation is not possible.
"Revision rules"?? Isn't it "revision rulers"?
I would like to know what "revert plan" means here. Does it mean cancel changes or go back to a hole previous plan? Thanks in advance.
"Créez" ou "créer"?
I am trying to translate this passage: "This comment was made on a file which this file was moved to, but in an older diff."
Could a translation of that be: "Ce commentaire a été fait sur un fichier sur lequel ce fichier a été déplacé, [...]"
Thanks in advance, hope I understood it right.

Request to rename user was declined; the disused user+discussion page was redirected upon request.
Hi, For some reason I've got two user accounts on translatewiki.net, probably due to a misunderstanding concerning username and a display-name, or even the fact that my display-name contains a special UTF-8 letter.
I'm currently using Sveinn í Felli but my old login was Sveinki. It would be nice (and useful for avoiding misunderstandings) to have this latter account point to the former, or to merge them so that Sveinn í Felli becomes prevailing.
Is this possible?
Yes, this is on TWN, where we are not in the WMF instance, so we can try merging your two accounts.
Can you please do it?
Should I send a specific request to someone? Where/Who?
We don't have any user merge extension here and there's no plan to install it, so I'd just decline this request. User:Sveinki has less than 500 edits; User:Sveinn í Felli is older, has an email address and was used recently. If you just stop using "Sveinki", you'll be fine. I can block and/or rename the account you don't want to use and you can place a redirect from one username from the other. We can also recover the password of either account if you lost it and the email address doesn't work.
"you can place a redirect from one username from the other" - yes, that was in my initial request. How can I redirect User:Sveinki to User:Sveinn í Felli ?

Super Elites Playing War Games with the World by Erick San Juan
"The Chinese people would revolt against overt foreign domination, but embrace their place in the NWO if they believed they were in control."
by St. John Bartholomew
This is the introduction of the article that was posted at Truther last February 13, 2012 entitled : Colonial Elite Rules China for the Illuminati. It was first posted at henrymakow.com.
Since then, several other websites and bloggers picked up the article and reposted it. Various comments from readers ranges from skepticism to amazement.
What interest me most is how this article's revelation affects the 'cold war' (word wars) and tension in the disputed areas in the South China Sea. As one of the claimants, we have to be aware of the undercurrents that's going on in the region. Why is Uncle Sam so persistent that the disputes between China and the claimant countries should be resolved multilaterally?
It was mentioned in the said article that "the fascist superpower we know today was created in the second half of the 20th century by the bogus Cold War dialectic of communism vs. capitalism."
Will there be a repeat of this scenario today?
Illuminati and NWO
In a nutshell (from various research materials), here is an excerpt from my book, Marcos Legacy Revisited: Raiders of the Lost Gold – "The Illuminati is a secret society founded and established in Ingolstadt, Bavaria by ex-Jesuit Adam Weishaupt on May 1, 1776." Translated literally, the order's name means "the enlightened ones," whose avowed objective is world domination. It is they who decide who will be allowed to run for the offices of President, Prime Minister, Chancellor, Governor-General and all other titles for the leaders of major countries around the world.
"The stage was set in 1898 when Britain and China signed a contract stipulating that Hong Kong would be handed back to the Chinese in 1997. This meant that the fierce Communism of the mainland and laissez faire capitalism of Hong Kong were always destined to merge. The process of unification gave rise to the current China power elite."
Others believed that all –ism were created by the Illuminati.
This explains how the Illuminati entered the picture.
"Because Communism is an Illuminati creation, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are by definition, Illuminati agents.
Mao was a Soviet agent. (Mao-The Untold Story, Chang & Halliday, p.49.) The CCP implemented policies that set the foundations for an Illuminati super state. They unified the country, attacked traditional Chinese culture, instigated industrialization programs and created a common language."
The three elements of leadership, according to the article, are the communist leadership, the Hong Kong Tycoons and the criminal Triads.
The Hong Kong Tycoons represent Western economic know-how and the Triads provide the muscle that has allowed the Tycoons to thrive within the larger regional environment of the ChiCom-leveling enterprise.
This is slightly different than what we've envisioned, in that we believed that the great Chinese leader-families were indigenous to Mainland China, but it makes a lot of sense. The great Asian families fled to Hong Kong, allied themselves with the Triads and gradually regrouped and took control. (Source: Will Chinese and Western Elites Bring Down the World? by Anthony Wile, 2/18/12)
According to Anthony Wile, it could be more appropriate to use Western power elite than Illuminati but what comprises the Western power elite anyway?
When one mentions the Illuminati, NWO or New World Order follows, because this is their main goal.
The article of St. John Bartholomew ended with this – "The mainstream media portrays China as hostile to Western power. However, by studying the triumvirate Chinese elite and their intimate ties to the Illuminati, it is clear that modern China is an Illuminati creation.
The Chinese elite must never stray from the NWO agenda, for it follows that if the Illuminati made them, they can break them too." The design is the same in all four corners of the world.
The program is on. It has long been delayed but can we stop it? The great unleashing is in the works. The Illuminati never changed pattern. It was a self fulfilling prophesy fanned and repeated by many of us. From graft and corruption, blackmail, believing that 'everybody has a price', global economic collapse, arms proliferation, terrorism, famine, pandemic,etc. are all the ingredients of a world war. Despite the threat of nuclear holocaust and a mutually assured destruction, the ruling elite of big powers will let their nation states depopulate and wage small but sophisticated wars. There will be a struggle for survival and survival for the fittest. Those who will survive will be forced to embrace a one world government and religion by the Illuminati through the super elites. God forbid.

From publisher blurb:
A 0th-level funnel for DCC by Daniel J. Bishop
Prince Hubert Charming, son of the Baron of Westlake, and heir to Westlake Manor, is well known as a cold man, whose watery blue eyes seem to betray no emotion at all. Yet he is a great lover of beauty, as all his wives have proven. The first he found working in the cinders of a woodsman's cottage. Some say that the girl's jealous stepsisters threw her down a well to prevent her from becoming the young prince's bride, but even death did not bar Prince Charming, and she enchanted everyone at the wedding. Her stepsisters were placed in spiked barrels filled with hot coals and dragged through the town until they themselves died.
Whatever process Prince Charming used to revive his bride, it did not last forever. All too soon, the Princess Ella took ill and died.
Charming then found another bride, and there was no doubt in this case that she was dead. She was entombed in a glass coffin guarded by half a dozen or so dwarves. Yet,
when Prince Charming injected his magic elixir and kissed her upon the lips, her eyelids fluttered open and she breathed again! The story was told that the new Princess had been in but a deep coma, a sham of death, until a poisoned apple was dislodged by the Prince's kiss. But folk began to whisper in dread, and none were surprised when it was announced that Princess Snow, like Princess Ella, succumbed to a fatal illness after only a few years of marital bliss.
In all kingdoms there are tales, and in the Barony of Westlake, it is said that the Grimmswood hides the ruins of a long-lost realm. The daughter of its final king, cursed by a malevolent faerie, pricked her finger on a spindle upon her sixteenth birthday, in the blossom of her youth, and died. With her death, the kingdom went to ruin. Few now dare to go far into the Grimmswood, although the riches of the lost kingdom are said to lie unclaimed within. Fear of dark fey magic and even greater evils keep men out.
Or they did so until now. For Prince Hubert Charming of Westlake has determined that the long-dead Princess Beauty is only cursed to sleep away the aeons, and he will have her for his bride. His men rounded up a stable of "volunteers" at the beginning of one early autumn morning, and here you are, with what makeshift arms and equipment you had upon you when you were "volunteered".
Your mission, the Prince's Bailiff explains, is to enter the ruined castle, find the place where the "Sleeping" Beauty lies, and bring her forth for Prince Charming to restore with a kiss. Those who choose not to go upon this quest must take their chances with the Prince's Guard, twenty men strong, and be declared outlaw. Those who choose to hazard their lives within the ruined castle may keep what they find, apart from the sleeping princess, but dare not leave without her.
How Did We Get Here
This product comes about due to the confluence of several factors.
First, I had planned to do a series of fairy tale-based adventures for the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG, titled Faerie Tales from Unlit Shores. The idea was to combine classic fairy tales with one or more strong Appendix N influences, to create something that accentuated the folkloric (and often dark) fey elements of the original tale and the adventurous energy of Appendix N fiction.
Second, my good friend Raechel Henderson, who was the first person to ever pay me for a piece of writing, had a Kickstarter project that was moving slowly. I asked my readers to help spread the word about Raechel's project, in return for which I would write a free adventure. The adventure you are now reading is that free adventure. Her project, Spellbound and Spindles, is related to fairy tales too, making this a perfect tribute to those who contributed either with dollars or links.
Finally, Mark Gedak of Purple Duck Games not only agreed to publish the follow up series of fairy tale-based adventures, but also to publish the free adventure professionally. You will be seeing at least five more adventure in this series, creating a full arc from 0-level to level 5. If they are popular, I (or others working with Purple Duck Games) might do more.
I hope you like them.

2011 Crossmen December Camp Report
Crossmen veterans and prospective members filed into Claudia T. Johnson High School on Friday, December 17th in hopes to secure themselves a spot for the 2011 DCI season, as the Crossmen wrapped up their audition process. This camp came after hosting three very successful eXperience camps in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. The energy and talent that has shown up at the Crossmen camps has been nothing short of extraordinary.
The camp began with an informative meeting, demonstrating that it takes action both on and off the field in order to become a member of the Crossmen. Sectionals resumed thereafter, and the staff began to break ground in rehearsing the first parts of the 2011 production.

Fareed Zakaria just ripped into the President on CNN, charging that Trump "succeeded by bullshitting" and, encouraged by his success, would continue to do so:
"The president is somewhat indifferent to things that are true or false. He's spent his whole life bullshitting. He's succeeded by bullshitting. He has gotten the presidency by bullshitting."
"It's very hard to tell somebody at that point that bullshit doesn't work, because look at the results, right? But that's what he does. He sees something, he doesn't particularly care if it's true or not, he just puts it out there. And then he puts something else out."
Zakaria mirrors most of the American public's fatigue of Trump's baseless claims and flat-out lies. He has no problem perpetuating these falsehoods, only to then diffuse responsibility when pressed on the issue.
When asked at a press conference about the now disproven accusation that Obama asked British intelligence to spy on him in Trump Tower, Trump feigned ignorance, saying:
"All we did was quote a certain very talented legal mind, who was the one responsible for saying that on television. I didn't make an opinion on it. That was a statement made by a very talented lawyer on FOX."
He did it again when NBC's Peter Alexander challenged Trump on the decidedly false claim that he won the presidency with a record Electoral College win:
Trump: "I was given that information, I don't know. I was just given that information. It was a very, very big margin."
Alexander: "I guess my question is, why should Americans trust you when you accuse the information they receive of being fake when you're providing information that–"
Trump: "Well I don't know, I was given that information. Actually I've seen that information around. But it was a very substantial victory, do you agree with that?"
The American people have endured Trump's "bullshit" for too long. As long as we have people like Zakaria holding Trump accountable, he won't be able to peddle his lies unchecked for much longer.

Edie Swedie
Good evening, ladies and jellyspoons!
To briefly recap: We've been on what I like to call the "baby schedule" the last couple of days - little Edie and Fynn have been scratching out their boundaries. In so doing, they've reverted back to the sleep schedule of our "sweetie Edie" (say it so it rhymes). Let me tell you, a five-month-old kitten has a similar sleep schedule as a five month old child. She sleeps from about six or seven till oh, nine. Then she's up, up, up!! and wants to bite her brother's butt until he smacks her head. This causes a fight, meaning the following:
(Fynn sitting down, licking his _______ (insert body part) POUNCE! Bite! Swat! Scrabble-scrabble-scrabble-scrabble-BAM! "rrrrr! grrrrrrooowRROWWRRR! Mrrrrmmmroowerr! WrrroowWOOWWWRRR!!!" hiss, spit, boo, hiss. Actually, histh - she has a tiny bit of a lithpth, thso thse thisssethh like thithhhh. For someone that weighs about five pounds, she's pretty fierce towards her "big brother."
About the sleep thing, though. Tonight, I commented to S. "I don't think we're ever meant to be parents to humans - we're wrecked right now after TWO nights of 'mrrowwwRRWOORR!!'... and there weren't even any bodily fluid issues."
He didn't dispute this logic. I looked up "kitten behavior" on Google - despite the fact I've had cats all my life, its been a very long time since I had a female kitten, and Fynn is the only one I've ever kept (well, 98.9% of the time) indoors as an adult cat. Since I don't really fancy the thought of Edie's pretty little face sans ears/nose/with cancer, she'll be staying indoors with him. In the last thirty hours, they've really become pretty tolerant, and I dare say, friendly with each other. So check this out:
- Accustom him from the start to sleeping in his own bed in another area of the house. Make sure his litterbox is convenient and accessible.
- Be prepared to wear him out with play before going to bed. This may eliminate the "night terrors" with a kitten wildly racing across your face at three in the morning, but it is not a guarantee. If that happens, you'll probably want to either get him a playmate, or revert to plan "A".
Not quite the desired response. The good news: I caught the two of them LICKING and NUBBING each other on a chair tonight. Edie's been coming to bed with us and has picked S. as her "Mommy", which means he gets a couple of hours of sharp-clawed kneading, combined with a squeeee-worthy pillow sucking, the like of which I've not heard of since "Are You There God, it's Me, Margaret" came into my world.
So...I guess we'll keep her.

There is a big reason behind this question but, in brief, i want to ask you girls that will you avoid dating me because i belong to different culture, region, religion, etc? By the way I am not a terrorist, neither I am invloved in killing humanity or even animals. I am a PhD student, studying in Europe; but recently faced such comments so just want to hear the fair opinions from the girls all over the world (from each continent)! I am not that bad looking as well, I dont have huge muscles but my looks are good! my heart is pure, and my intentions are to care every form of life!
- Yes! This is not my criteria to judge!
- May be, but I have no problem with Pakistani's; though I avoid experiencing new stuff
- No, I will not because dating someone from third world means a lot to me.
- Not at all, i have other reasons (mention in comments, anonymous would be fine)!

Commodities such as Oil have longer term price strength
The markets have become quite volatile, largely because of money printing. This concerns not just oil, but all commodities. The price of corn, wheat, soybeans are all down around 50 percent from the highs. They can be down for a while, but in my view, they will not stay down.

The divers of the 2007 International Expedition of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic Institute to lake Issyk-Kul' (Kyrgyzstan) have found the traces of an earlier unknown civilization, dated approximately by 2,500 years ago. The heads of the expedition were Vladimir Ploskih (Kyrgyzstan) and Svetlana and Nikolay Lukashovs (Russia).
This civilization was comparable to the civilizations of the Northern Black Sea or the Mediterranean Egypt, said Nikolay Lukashov (link in Russian). The divers worked at the depth of 5 to 10 meters at the northern coast of the lake and found large walls, up to 500 meters long. The area encircled by the walls was some square kilometers. Near the walls, there were Scythian burial mounds with bronze axes, spear heads, knives, remainders of a bronze production and a golden rod — the ancient money.
Some finds are really intriguing. So, the bronze cauldron raised from the lake bottom is made of some separate parts welded together with the quality which is only possible to achieve using modern inert gas welding. The quality of the bronze mirrors and the ornamented harness is also astonishing.
Large ritual and living buildings were found nearby. In the next year, these buildings will be studied in details.
The uniqueness of Issyk-Kul' is that it is located at the crossroads of the human migrations, including Indo-Aryan tribes. Also, the water level in the lake is known to oscillate irregularly. Currently, the water level is relatively high and the lake may contain many more interesting archaeological sites, including the legendary fortress built by Timur, who kept noble prisoners and treasures in this fortress. Another secret of the lake is the monastery which is found in the Catalan Atlas (1375). The monastery is marked on the map with the words: "The place is named Isikol. Here is the monastery of the Armenian brothers where the remains of St.Matthew the Apostle are kept." Famous Russian geographer P. Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky found this inscription in the atlas and tried to find the ruins of the monastery, but failed. Probably, it is lying now below the surface of Issyk-Kul'.
Update @ 23:38 2007-12-27: Here's a link to the same article in English: Remains of ancient civilisation discovered on the bottom of a lake

This is Numan. He enjoys the standard cat staples of fish and meat, as well as any cheese, butter, margarine and milk he can beg, borrow or steal. However, we've long since learned to our cost that none of the following can be left in the kitchen unguarded.
Bread; Broccoli; Cauliflower; Mango; Potato (cooked); Apple; Olives; Avocado; Tomato - but only that chewy bit where the tomato meets the stem; and two newcomers to the list: Pineappple and Galia melon - but only the rind.

Whether you are a professional musician, educator or play for personal enjoyment, all work is guaranteed to your satisfaction. Serving Austin, San Antonio, and all of the Central Texas Hill Country since 2001.
What's in a Name? Italian harpsichord maker, Bartolomeo Cristofori, is generally credited with the invention of the piano. Originally it was called the "gravicembalo col piano e forte", or "harpsichor. that plays soft and loud". The name refers to the piano's ability to change dynamics according to the amount of pressure applied to the keys which was a quality foreign to the harpsichord. Cristofori achieved this effect by replacing the plucking mechanism of the harpsichord with a hammer and jack escapement capable of striking the strings with greater or lesser force.
About the Piano Technician
For decades Christopher Prewitt has enjoyed a career in music service and performance in public, private, scholastic, and ecumenical capacities. He is devoted to a professional quality performance experience for all who aspire to make music. Christopher has over 3,000 hours of on-stage performance.

This High Tech High K-8 is the second phase of a master plan build-out of Chula Vista's "Academic Village." The 61,000 square-foot combined elementary and middle school serves 400 students. The K-8 facility takes several cues from its award winning neighbor—borrowing colors and sweeping roofs while adding a "crazy-quilt" pattern of corrugated metal cladding to the masonry used next door. A forest of wing-shaped shade cloth awnings announce the entrance and provide protection for the outdoor lunch areas. The north elementary school wing is enlivened by super-scale bay windows that form reading nooks within the classrooms.
Following the precedent set by Studio E Architects' earlier High Tech designs, High Tech K-8 has proved to be an achievement in sustainable school design, achieving Platinum LEED certification. Buildings are configured to foster passive cooling, protecting generous south- and southwest-facing openings with deep overhangs; day-lighting is maximized in all occupied rooms; roof-mounted photovoltaic panels provide power to the school. In addition to its LEED status, High Tech High K-8 is only the second school in the state of California to achieve CHPS certification.
