Dear Monday Motivators,
As we have been focusing on our 18th annual administrative conference and our theme, The Path Forward: Adding Value Every Day, I was thinking about how quickly this year is passing. I have been traveling and training every week for several months. I've been in contact with hundreds of individuals in all parts of the United States, all size organizations, and all with unique lives. One comment I have heard is, "I can't believe how fast this year is going. Before we know it, it will be the holidays." I've been soul-searching this view of time because I feel I am moving at warp speed. Our Office Dynamics team also feels that there are not enough hours in a day to accomplish all the important items.
What about you? How do you feel? Even though time is passing quickly, are you actually moving forward? Are you accomplishing tasks and projects that impact your work and business? Do you feel like you are focusing on tasks that affect your bottom line?
As you travel the week ahead of you, I'd like to encourage you to take time throughout your day (at least once) to assess your progress each day. Are you busy but just going in circles that day? I like the analogy of a hamster in a wheel. The hamster runs round and round the wheel and thinks it is getting somewhere but the hamster is not. That's how I view people at work. We go and go and go and think we are moving forward but we just went in circles that day. Some days, that's just how things work. We just don't want it to be a daily event or even an every other day event.
As businesses up their game and competition increases this year, employees need to add value every day. Underneath all that, it's about self-satisfaction. We were born to move forward. Unfortunately, while some people chronologically move forward celebrating birthday after birthday, they have done nothing to add value to their life or others.
As we say in our conference brochure, "You're stronger. You're in a better place than 3 years ago. It's time to wake up, get up and move again!" This week, get excited about delivering added value while developing your unique value!

You'd be hard pressed to find a body of work more painstaking in its construction than that of Tom LaDuke. His last solo show, at Angles Gallery in January, included a replica of a wind-tossed plastic shopping bag made entirely from powdered graphite and glue, an 11-by-8-inch free-hanging "veil" that reproduced every crack in a particular 17th century Flemish painting using nothing but eyelashes and arm hairs, and a sculpture that appeared to be an ordinary bird feather but was made entirely from human hair and fingernails.
Alongside the sculptures were paintings from an ongoing series that involves the application of four exhausting layers per canvas: first "an inchoate space," as he calls it — "not bright or dim, not shallow or deep" — intended to mimic a blank television screen; then a film still, rendered precisely as it appeared on a television in his studio; then the reflection caught on the surface of that screen; then a splintered layer of thick, gestural oil paint made with a stencil derived from a historical painting that relates in some way to the film still. The underlayers — all airbrush — are soft, gray, smooth and ghostly, whereas the oil paint is chunky, brightly colored and seemingly haphazard, with only the slimmest hints at imagery. The effect is that of two entirely different paintings that just happened to brush against each other while wet.

We had our Girl Guide Christmas sing-along this past week, and of course among the favourites on the song list was 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town'.
The young girls in the crowd were especially conscious of the warnings - you know . . .
"He's making a list, And checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty and nice,"
"He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!"
It dawned on me that since we are in the season of incentive, so to speak, then perhaps it might be a good time to think of all kinds of behaviours that could be improved. Like picky eating, for example!
You might be thinking that my suggestion would be something simple, like 'eat your broccoli and you get a shortbread cookie', but no. I see that as reinforcing the wrong attitude. It views eating vegetables as a punishment, endured for the reward of having a cookie. But then the next time vegetables appear, the expectation is the same. Kids grow up thinking that vegetables are to be endured, not enjoyed.
What if instead we helped kids to understand that all food is an adventure?
Studies show that children today are generally exposed to a smaller variety of foods than in generations before. Although adults can get used to a new taste after trying something only once or twice, kids need many more tries before they wrap their tastebuds happily around it (anywhere from eight times up to 52, for an extremely picky eater). Why not make some of the holiday season 'treats' be some new tastes, perhaps ethnic foods or even new sauces? Sweet and savoury flavours, and various textures can all be explored.
One big tip when trying to broaden the scope of someone's palate: Bitterness is the hardest taste to swallow. Our aversion to bitterness is partly hereditary, so in your family you will likely see certain trends. If you want to get your kids to eat bitter foods (like broccoli), then dressing the food with something decidedly not bitter will help.
The aversion to bitterness is said to be a survival instinct, one that helps protect us against poison. Some research posits that picky eaters are extending this same philosophy, starting with how food looks. So, the more we can expose ourselves to a wide range of foods, the better chance we have to not be afraid of it.
When I was a kid we would always have new delicacies at Christmas, whether they were from a new recipe, or a new item found at the grocery store. My parents introduced the new foods as delicacies, special treats coveted by those who knew them. That made them exciting. Some we didn't like (I'm still not a big fan of lychee nuts), but at least we tried them. Martin has a friend whose family eats one meal over the holiday season with their hands - and the kids each get a turn picking what meal it is to be. One year, it was spaghetti and meatballs!
Here's to indulging your palate this holiday season, and of sharing that excitement with friends young and old.
After all, haven't you always wanted to try a real figgy pudding or Yule log?

ISSUE Project Room : an open and versatile environment in which established and emerging artists conduct, exhibit and perform new and site-specific work
About ISSUE Project Room
andrewcsmith on 10/22/2010 at 11:45AM
Kiila Remix Contest!
Remember that 30-second runo-song from Monday that featured Pekko from Kiila singing a capella in Finnish about Old Väinämöinen himself? When you heard that, did you think, "Hey, I bet that would go great with some beats by _______ with _______'s french horn licks over the free-funk fantasias of _______"? Because we heard you. (Yes, we heard you thinking.) Pekko has kindly recorded a new, longer version of the runo-song, and we're holding a remix contest starting now.
Here are the basic steps:
- Create your new masterpiece using either the aiff, flac, or mp3 versions of the track. You can use outside samples, as long as they're licensed under a license similar to (or less restrictive than) this track. (Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike—try using the FMA search box and under "Filter Results by Use" check "modify, adapt, and build upon")
- Upload the masterpiece using the "submit" tool on the album page.
- Kiila and the ISSUE Project Room / FMA Curatorial Team judge the entries.
- Win a signed LP of Kiila's newest album Tuota tuota with an mp3 download!
The contest will be over in two weeks, on November 5, conveniently one day before the end of Minor Musics: Finland.
Note that all entries must be shared under a similar license to Kiila's (that is, "Share Alike"). So, as good as these remixes are, don't go trying to pitch them to Kanye or anything (without getting Kiila in on the deal).
Kiila's going to be playing next weekend at ISSUE Project Room as part of our series Minor Musics: Finland, and they'll be guest-blogging up until their concert. Below, I've posted the new mp3 of the track-to-be-remixed and an mp3 of Kevätlaulu from Tuota tuota, which Pekko & Juho discuss in their second guest post. There's some heavy insight into Finnish styles in there (stuff like "hexachord" and "melodic thing") so for those of you planning to throw down some remixes, read up:
National-Romantic issues of Kiila
Part II: The musical point of view
So, there are some essential musical features too associated with the fore-mentioned runo-song tradition. In the Vienna Karelia region, where the runo-song tradition survived the longest, the scales of the songs were usually close to major or minor pentachord (or hexachord at the usual most). There are certain amounts of variation of the melodies, so the melodic "thing" is put in many different ways.
The case of Kevätlaulu:
Kevätlaulu is heavily syncopated. First three words (eight syllables though: 224) forms one melodic line (A) and the last four words (also eight syllables: 2222) another (B). Also the fundamental (here d') is reached only in the end of the verse. The melodic reach is one octave. The scale is d'e'f'g'a'c''d'', so a "pure" d-minor scale is lacking the b'.
Here's an example of a really basic runo-song melody:
The main thing here is, that usually there's only an AB-structure, which is repeated all the way through the evening and hundreds of lines. The melodic line starts and ends with the d' and there aren't huge melodic jumps downwards (like in "Kevätlaulu") and no syncopation whatsoever.
However, there might be a sudden similarity on more general – but maybe trivial – level. If we forget about the stuff in the textlines of Kevätlaulu, we will discover that there's a similar AB-structure in the melodies. In Kevätlaulu it could be shown numerically as 8574 4355 // 8574 432 321 (where 8 is equivalent to d'', 7 = c'' and so on). The melodic sructure of the runo-song is 1166 5353 // 4533 2311. What we'll discover immediately is that the endings are really similar:
32 321 (Kevätlaulu)
32 311 (the runo-song)
Also, the A-part is left "hanging" in a way in both songs: in the runo-song there's 53-movement and in Kevätlaulu there's 55-movement. So, once more put, the AB-endings would be in both examples:
Kevätlaulu 55-21 and the runo-song 53-11 – what do you say?

Where was I going with this?
Earlier this week I read an article on the benefits of writing by hand; how handwriting stimulates different parts of your brain than writing on a keyboard does. My writing guru, Lois, was the first one to tell me about this several years ago. So, guess what I'm doing now? Got my smooth-writing gel pen and my handy-dandy Moleskine and guess what?
I gots nuthin'.
I am in one of those moods where I am desperate to create - write, draw, paint - and I am totally unable to take the first step. Or maybe this is the first step and it's the second one that is so bloody difficult. I just can't get a grasp on any sort of inspiration.
Grief has smacked me pretty hard this week and perhaps that's what's blocking the creativity. I'm embarrassed to tell you how my momentary joy at discovering a channel running old Night Court reruns morphed into something abject when I realized it was the episode where Judge Harry is interviewing prospective bailiffs because Selma had died unexpectedly.
I've always known that my life basically is Night Court, pretty much every single day. This just sort of confirms that, I suppose. Although, Sushi would be furious to know I compared her to Selma the Bailiff.
Speaking of Sushi, she (and several others) have taught me a lot about the value of thank you notes and written praise for expressions of good character, rather than just for good deeds. Recently I've tried to doing this more. I have been working, off and on, on a draft of a letter to the head of the state agency that oversees our funding. They sent auditors last week to help clean-up some long-standing financial errors. (Disclaimer: Errors from before my tenure. Heh.) The auditors were helpful, polite and competent - not at all like the whores of the anti-Christ that I'd always been lead to believe they were.
Then I got an email from one of them, which basically accused us of withholding documentation. (I had the secretary mail the bazillion and a half pages of additional documentation that she wanted rather than sending and resending it via an unreliable fax line.)
This particular auditor is very, very suited to her job. And she comes from a different cultural background than I - one I know almost nothing about. And I, accidentally, in a round about way, totally unintentionally, told her she had big feet the first day I met her. Given all of that, perhaps I misinterpreted her seemingly terse request.
I still need to do the letter, right? And still thank her for her fabulous attention to detail, right? It's the right thing to do, yes? Even though she pissed me off and I'd like to stomp those over-sized toes?
So maybe that's my creative endeavor for the week - to finish that bit of writing and put it in the mail. I still feel like I gots nuthin' though.
It turns out I unknowingly wrote this on the one-month anniversary of Sushi's death. No wonder the grief has been particularly palpable. How does our subconscious keep track of this stuff?

You gots lots. Well, you gave me lots with this one...how about that. I just want to stay in my house and make everyone leave me the F**k alone.
LMAO I would LOVE to know how you told her that she had big feet!
Sushi would want you to write that letter right? You and I have seen people change. I do believe your note can make a tiny little chink in her armor.
I love when you write.
- spookyrach said...
Thanks! Ok, so you've earned the story:
The auditors were curious about my bat cave/basement file room. You have to climb down this very tight spiral staircase to get in and out of it. I was explained why this is difficult and I tend to avoid trips down there as much as possible by saying "You'd have the same problem I do - my feet are too damn big to fit on the stairs and I have to climb down sideways."
This comment was met with stoney silence. Heh.
- Princess of Everything (and then some) said...
that is PRICELESS!!

LOL, thanks for the additional story!

Online estate agents are becoming hugely popular now. For those that discover that they exist, HUGE estate agents fee savings are guaranteed. The average Emoov fee saving is £4000 in fact.
But you do need to ensure when choosing an online estate agent that they are actually estate agents. The moving process is fraught with obstacles and stress. Having a professional, experienced guiding hand to inform you along the way and to overcome problems is as essential with internet estate agents as it is with the expensive, High Street type.
More and more new online estate agency websites are popping up these days. And it seems that some are operated by former Home Information Pack sales people, mortgage brokers and 'debt management' types.
Make sure that the one that you opt for, regardless of fees and promises made, is one that is run by people that know the business, have worked within it for years and have proper experience.
You might only be paying three or four hundred pounds in fees, but it's still important that your transaction is dealt with professionally. Isn't it?

Today I found something really great in the mail: a book! Yes, I know as a reviewer you receive books in the mail from time to time, but every single one makes me happy and is special to me! The effort authors make to write this book and send it to me, means a lot and is appreciated over here!Thank you authors!
The book I received today is "The Beach House" by Helen McKenna. What a beautiful one! I hope I will enjoy it (but I think I will... love the covertext). Review will follow in a few days/weeks.
If you want the book trailer for "The Beach House", here it is!
I expect this book to be something I enjoy reading. The covertext gives me the idea it's going to be a book with interesting content without being too heavy. It seems to be a story where there will be love and hate, where past and present will intertwine, where people will really discover themselves. Just the kind of stories I like to read! I hope my expectations won't be something to dissappoint me, but most of the time I'm not wrong when I expect a book to be good. We'll see about that when I finished reading it ;)
Before I read this book though, I'll have to finish "The Elephants of Shanghai" by Stephen Jared. A book that I like so far. After that I have to read "Keeping Score - A guide to love and relationships" by Marc Brackett. I know this one is on my list for quite a while, but I didn't read it sooner because I wasn't in the mood to read a book about love and relationships (if you know what I mean ;) ). Totally over it for a while now, so I think I will be able to read and review this one too very soon!
I also wanted to let you know I watched "Detachment" last night. Finally! I really wanted to see this movie for a long while because I'm a teacher myself and I worked for several months as an interim teacher in a school with difficult students near Brussels. Good reason to see a movie like this one and I haven't regretted it! Loved it, though I thought it was strange sometimes. Have to admit I did cry now and again (but hey, I do this all the time when I'm watching movies by myself :p)
Here you find the trailer of Detachment too ^^

It is how it always is this time of the year - no inspiration at all when it comes to blogging. My computer time is at a minimum, and I can't say that I'm doing much of interest either. Well, yes, I've finished the pink shawl for my daughter, but that's about it. I work, read, sleep... And re-organize the house. Again... :) Improving the work space in our crafty room, which have created a massive mess in most parts of the house. Not finished yet, but now it's interrupted by some time away in our little caravan. My husband is working at two different conferences, and we all come along. It will probably be great fun, but a part of me would like to stay at home at do something about this mess and tend to the garden. But there will be lots of time for that too!
I guess I won't be in here much, I really need this to be something I do for fun, not something I have to do. I guess you are all out and about too, most of the time?
And no, there are no flowers on my apple-tree any longer, this picture was taken a while ago. I just happen to love it! :) See ya!

Ace Values
Ace in the City continues to grow in staff and scope and reach in the community. All good things, and we thank God for them. As we grow, however (as any organization grows), the danger becomes losing sight and alignment to our vision and mission. Which is why values are so important. Values tether you to vision and mission, help you keep aligned.
While we have operated and expressed ourselves within a general framework that's seemingly been pretty consistent across staff and programs, we've never actually done the good and hard work of putting values on paper and in front of us. But we did it, and it's beautiful.

There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermiones arms. Running at Ron she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet. Is this the moment Harry asked weakly and when nothing happened except that Ron and Hermione gripped each other still more firmly and swayed on the spot he raised his voice. OI Theres a war going on here Ron and Hermione broke apart their arms still around each other. I know mate said Ron who looked as though he had recently been hit on the back of the head with a Bludger so its now or never isnt it Never mind that what about the Horcrux Harry shouted. Dyou think you could just --- just hold it in until weve got the diadem Yeah --- right --- sorry --- said Ron and he and Hermione set about gathering up fangs both pink in the face.
Have you ever noticed how when youre happy time seems to pass by fast while when youre miserable it goes real slow Life would have been a blink with you whether it lasted a millennium or a month.

For now August is really starting to get to me, we're hovering between 100-115 heat index for weeks now. All I've done this past week is splash water on my face and read books. The cows stay under the trees and the dogs dig deep holes under the shrubs. We cope, we wait, we are all wishing for fall weather.
When almost everything else in the garden is dormant, a Texas native will laugh at the sissy plants. Clematis pitcheri...laughing.

Courtesy of Saint Francis of Assisi
From G.K. Chesterton book on Saint Francis
Below is
" only one incident out of a life of such incidents; and 1 have selected it partly because it shows what is meant here by that shadow of gesture there is in all his words, the dramatic gesture of the south; and partly because its special reference to courtesy covers the next fact to be noted. The popular instinct of Saint Francis, and his perpetual preoccupation with the idea of brotherhood, will be entirely misunderstood if it is understood in the sense of what is often called camaraderie; the backslapping sort of brotherhood. Frequently from the enemies and too frequently from the friends of the democratic ideal, there has come a notion that this note is necessary to that ideal. It is assumed that equality means all men being equally uncivil, whereas it obviously ought to mean all men being equally civil. Such people have forgotten the very meaning and derivation of the word civility, if they do not see that to be uncivil is to be uncivic. But anyhow that was not the equality which Francis of Assisi encouraged; but an equality of the opposite kind; it was a camaraderie actually founded on courtesy.
Even in that fairy borderland of his mere fancies about flowers and animals and even inanimate things, he retained this permanent posture of a sort of deference. A friend of mine said that somebody was the sort of man who apologises to the cat. Saint Francis really would have apologised to the cat. When he was about to preach in a wood full of the chatter of birds, he said, with a gentle gesture, "Little sisters, if you have now had your say, it is time that I also should be heard." And all the birds were silent; as I for one can very easily believe. In deference to my special design of making matters intelligible to average modernity, I have treated separately the subject of the miraculous powers that Saint Francis most certainly possessed.
But even apart from any miraculous powers, men of that magnetic sort, with that intense interest in animals, often have an extraordinary power over them. Saint Francis's power was always exercised with this elaborate politeness. Much of it was doubtless a sort of symbolic joke, a pious pantomime intended to convey the vital distinction in his divine mission, that he not only loved but reverenced God in all his creatures. In this sense he had the air not only of apologising to the cat or to the birds, but of apologising to a chair for sitting on it or to a table for sitting down at it. Any one who had followed him through life merely to laugh at him, as a sort of lovable lunatic, might easily have had an impression as of a lunatic who bowed to every post or took off his hat to every tree. This was all a part of his instinct for imaginative gesture. He taught the world a large part of its lesson by a sort of divine dumb alphabet. But if there was this ceremonial element even in lighter or lesser matters, its significance became far more serious in the serious work of his life, which was an appeal to humanity, or rather to human beings.
I have said that Saint Francis deliberately did not see the wood for the trees. It is even more true that he deliberately did not see the mob for the men. What distinguishes this very genuine democrat from any mere demagogue is that he never either deceived or was deceived by the illusion of mass-suggestion. Whatever his taste in monsters, he never saw before him a many-headed beast. He only saw the image of God multiplied but never monotonous. To him a man was always a man and did not disappear in a dense crowd any more than in a desert. He honoured all men; that is, he not only loved but respected them all. What gave him his extraordinary personal power was this; that from the Pope to the beggar, from the sultan of Syria in his pavilion to the ragged robbers crawling out of the wood, there was never a man who looked into those brown burning eyes without being certain that Francis Bernardone was really interested in him; in his own inner individual life from the cradle to the grave; that he himself was being valued and taken seriously, and not merely added to the spoils of some social policy or the names in some clerical document. Now for this particular moral and religious idea there is no external expression except courtesy. Exhortation does not express it, for it is not mere abstract enthusiasm; beneficence does not express it, for it is not mere pity. It can only be conveyed by a certain grand manner which may be called good manners. We may say if we like that Saint Francis, in the bare and barren simplicity of his life, had clung to one rag of luxury; the manners of a court.
But whereas in a court there is one king and a hundred courtiers, in this story there was one courtier, moving among a hundred kings. For he treated the whole mob of men as a mob of kings. And this was really and truly the only attitude that will appeal to that part of man to which he wished to appeal. It cannot be done by giving gold or even bread; for it is a proverb that any reveller may fling largesse in mere scorn. It cannot even be done by giving time and attention; for any number of philanthropists and benevolent bureaucrats do such work with a scorn far more cold and horrible in their hearts. No plans or proposals or efficient rearrangements will give back to a broken man his self-respect and sense of speaking with an equal. One gesture will do it.
With that gesture Francis of Assisi moved among men; and it was soon found to have something in it of magic and to act, in a double sense, like a charm. But it must always be conceived as a completely natural gesture; for indeed it was almost a gesture of apology. He must be imagined as moving thus swiftly through the world with a sort of impetuous politeness; almost like the movement of a man who stumbles on one knee half in haste and half in obeisance. The eager face under the brown hood was that of a man always going somewhere, as if he followed as well as watched the flight of the birds. And this sense of motion is indeed the meaning of the whole revolution that he made; for the work that has now to be described was of the nature of an earthquake or a volcano, an explosion that drove outwards with dynamic energy the forces stored up by ten centuries in the monastic fortress or arsenal and scattered all its riches recklessly to the ends of the earth. In a better sense than the antithesis commonly conveys, it is true to say that what Saint Benedict had stored Saint Francis scattered; but in the world of spiritual things what had been stored into the barns like grain was scattered over the world as seed. The servants of God who had been a besieged garrison became a marching army; the ways of the world were filled as with thunder with the trampling of their feet and far ahead of that ever swelling host went a man singing; as simply he had sung that morning in the winter woods, where he walked alone.

Pelicans show resilience after BP oil spill but still face threats
Skeletons of mangroves lined the north edge of the islands of Cat Bay in April 2012, depriving pelicans of one of their favorite nesting spots. The area was heavily oiled during the BP oil spill. The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council approved a plan Wednesday for selecting projects to restore oil spill damage, using money from Clean Water Act fines levied against BP and other companies found liable for the spill.
(Ted Jackson, NOLA.com |The Times-Picayune photo archive)
A federal-state group set to oversee the spending of billions of dollars of Clean Water Act fines from the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill unanimously approved Wednesday an initial comprehensive plan for restoring the Gulf Coast's ecosystem and economy. Members of the council also promised that the first projects could be approved by June 2014, the beginning of the next hurricane season.
Wednesday's vote came after Gov. Bobby Jindal made an earnest appeal to his fellow Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council members to speed the process of approving and building projects. Jindal also renewed his attack on BP for what he called its failure to adequately restore the spill's damage in Louisiana.
"BP needs to stop spending hundreds of millions of dollars on their public relations campaign telling us how great they are and start proving it by addressing their Clean Water Act and Natural Resources Damage liabilities now," Jindal said.
The council will administer much of the Clean Water Act fines levied against companies involved in the oil spill. The federal RESTORE Act dedicates 80 percent of that fine money to restoration and economic recovery, with about 60 percent of that under the control of the council.
Jindal said he's already directed state officials to commit all of the money coming to Louisiana to ecosystem restoration and community resilience projects consistent with the state's coastal restoration and protection Master Plan.
But he said delays in developing regulations to approve projects and the specter of federal red tape slowing down approval of those projects "is not going to save Louisiana and does nothing to help recovery efforts in other Gulf States."
The governor also objected to a decision by the White House Office of Management and Budget to apply federal sequestration measures to the RESTORE Act trust fund. That could delay the use of some of the fine money for several years. Jindal also said duplication of scientific studies and permit applications and approvals "are not what the public had in mind when they stepped out in strong support of the RESTORE Act, and it does not correspond to the urgency we have on the Gulf Coast."
Jindal also objected to what he termed a "double standard" in which property owners, local governments and states who build coastal restoration projects must set aside money to mitigate for wetlands losses caused by those projects, "while the federal government's own river management practices are the cause of the greatest historic and greatest ongoing wetlands loss in the nation."
He was referring to the state's contention that the Army Corps of Engineers' management of the Mississippi River and the flood control projects along its shores are the major cause of coastal erosion in Louisiana.
Jindal then turned his sights on BP.
"While Transocean has stepped up to the plate and paid much of their liability, BP has not," Jindal said. Transocean, the owner of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, is paying $800 million in Clean Water Act fines that are destined for the RESTORE Act trust fund, as part of a settlement of criminal and civil charges between and the U.S. Justice Department.
BP's share of Clean Water Act fines will be determined by an ongoing civil trial in U.S. District Court in New Orleans. The company could be liable for as much as $3.5 billion to $17.5 billion, depending on whether a federal judge finds its actions leading to the spill were negligent or grossly negligent. The company could be responsible for billions of dollars more aimed at restoring damage to natural resources under the federal Oil Pollution Act.
"Today, more than three years after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Louisiana shorelines continue to be plagued with BP's oil," Jindal said, rattling off statistics about how many pounds of oily material has been collected along the coast since the beginning of the spill, and pointing out that oily material is still being collected from locations scattered over 200 miles of state shoreline.
Jindal added that the company "has spent more money on television commercials than they have on actually restoring the natural resources they impacted."
BP Vice President Geoff Morrell quickly issued a statement denying Jindal's comments.
"Any suggestion that BP has failed to address the clean up of the Louisiana coastline is both false and irresponsible," Morrell said. "The facts, however are irrefutable and our progress in Louisiana has been significant."
He said that patrolling and maintenance activities are continuing on 76 miles of the state's shoreline, compared to 3,192 miles that were included in the initial oil spill response, and another 20 miles are pending approval or completion of inspections to declare them clean.
"Overall to date, we have spent $26 billion on response, clean up and claims," along the Gulf Coast, Morrell said. "Repeated assertions that we have spent more money on advertising than this are grossly in error and seem purposefully intended to mislead the public."
Comments from the representatives of the governors of Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, and the six federal agencies represented on the council, Commerce, Interior, Homeland Security, Army, Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency, were limited to praising the council's staff and the other council members for their work in developing the restoration plan.
Meeting at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans hotel, the council heard a quick review of the plan's contents, voted unanimously to approve it, and then listened to more than 50 members of the public.
"If we continue to work in a collaborative spirit, I am confident that we can implement the restore act in a way that reinvigorates the economy, creates job and rebuilds our environment for generations to come," said Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, who chairs the council.
"This council has an unprecedented opportunity to preserve and strengthen the Gulf in many ways," Pritzker said. "We want more people throughout the country and around gthe world to see the Gulf Coast as a wonderful place to visit, to work, to play and to live."
The initial version of the plan outlines the goals of the restoration program and how individual projects will be chosen, she said.
Under the RESTORE Act rules, the 80 percent of Deepwater Horizon Clean Water Act fine money it controls will be split five ways.
Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida will directly receive an equal share of 35 percent. Another 30 percent will be allocated to council-selected restoration projects under the comprehensive plan. Using a formula based on the amount of oiling they experienced, the five Gulf Coast states will split another 30 percent, which will be used for projects listed in individual state expenditure plans approved by the council.
Another 5 percent will be dedicated to science, with 2.5 percent funding a Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Science Program and the other 2.5 percent funding research grant programs at Centers for Excellence in the Gulf States.
The trust fund already has been promised $800 million over the next two years, its share of Clean Water Act fines levied against Transocean. The trust fund already has banked $320 million of that money.
Pritzker said she hopes the council can begin selecting and funding the first projects within the next 12 months.
Justin Ehrenwerth, executive director of the council, said its staff would set up public engagement and science advisory committees to advise the council on the project selection process.
He said once the council is provided a list of project proposals from states and federal agencies, it will release a draft project list for public comments, make whatever changes are necessary and then finalize the list, using it as a basis for awarding money from the trust fund.
Several Louisiana commercial fishing groups objected to the state's plan to request funding for freshwater and sediment diversions, which the fishers say will disrupt commercial and recreational fishing.
"The state's Master Plan is flawed, and one flaw is the large scale river diversions," said Capt. George Ricks of the Save Louisiana Coalition. He said the diversions would allow too much freshwater to enter areas of brackish and saltwater estuaries, resulting in dramatic changes in the types of fish that can be harvested.
State officials, backed by a variety of scientists, contend that properly operated, the major diversions will be needed to both build new land and to nourish other marsh restoration projects being built with sediment using pipelines.
Representatives from a number of environmental groups endorsed the council's plan and Jindal's recommendation that the restoration projects be selected and built quickly.
"The time for action and leadership by this council is here, and it's time to move forward with the best projects and get them built," said David Muth, a spokesman for the Louisiana Wildlife Federation.
Kara Lankford, a spokeswoman for the Ocean Conservancy, urged the council to immediately hire a science adviser and to develop science-based guidelines for submitting projects.
Several representatives of Vietnamese fishing communities in Mississippi and Alabama urged the council to do a better job of translating all of its documents into Vietnamese.
Harvey Reed, executive director of the Louisiana Association of Cooperatives, urged the council to do a better job of including African-Americans and other people of color in its planning.

Turkey wants to clear Islamic State from a 90 km (56 mile) stretch of territory on the Syrian side of its border, an official said on Wednesday, a week after launching an incursion that has strained ties with the United States.
Operation "Euphrates Shield", in which Turkish troops and tanks entered Syria in support of rebels for the first time, began on Aug. 24 with the swift capture of Jarablus, a town a few km (miles) inside Syria that was held by Islamic State.
Turkish-backed rebels patrolled the town on motorbikes on Wednesday as children played in dusty alleys.
The bulk of Turkish-backed forces have since moved further south into territory held by militias loyal to the Kurdish-aligned Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a coalition supported by Washington in its bid to defeat the jihadists.
Turkish clashes with SDF loyalists have alarmed the United States, which has described the Turkish action as "unacceptable" because it hindered the battle against Islamic State.
But Turkey, which is fighting a Kurdish insurgency at home, says that, while it remains intent on clearing Islamist militants from its border region, it also wants to prevent Kurdish militias from seizing territory in their wake.
Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said the goal was to drive Islamic State from a 90 km strip of land along the border with Turkey, which has been buffeted by a spate of bombings blamed on the group that have killed scores of people.
"Starting from Jarablus, the cleansing of this region is our priority," Kalin told a news briefing. "We have already cleansed 400 square km successfully."
Turkey has long said it wants a "buffer zone" in the area, although it has not used the term during this incursion. As well as driving out the ultra-hardline Islamists, it also wants to prevent Kurdish forces taking territory that will let them join up cantons they control in northeast and northwest Syria.
Turkey frets that seizing such a broad swathe of territory could embolden the Kurdish PKK insurgents on Turkish soil.
U.S. officials on Tuesday welcomed what appeared to be a pause in fighting between Turkish forces and rival militias, after days when the border area reverberated with Turkish warplanes roaring overhead into Syria and artillery pounded Syrian sites, saying it was hitting Kurdish fighters.
On Wednesday only the occasional thud of explosions in the distance was audible along the Turkish frontier.

Those of you trying to keep up with new developments in the Bayonetta camp are likely to be in the same position we are namely: we have no idea what's going on with the Devil May Cry-ish actioner. Not because we aren't being told how it's shaping up, not because the question of who is developing the game is up in the air, but because we're watching the trailers when they're released. And they're confusing.
Nevertheless, a few details have sprung up in recent months; the game features Bayonetta's father as a probable antagonist, the game isn't being developed by Platinum for PS3 – it's been framed out to Sega – and reports the game wasn't running too well on Sony's console, when compared to the 360, were pretty much rubbished at the Tokyo Game Show. We've also seen more gameplay elements, with a motorbike section and a battle op top of moving vehicles standing out the most.
While the Japanese will be able to enjoy Bayonetta and her lovely hair by the time you're reading this. We don't know if there will be any region specific extras thrown in, but there's always a chance. For now, though, we are very hopeful Baynoetta will end up being a mental masterpiece.

Writing Screenplays is Hard Stuff!
March 24, 2010 in Uncategorized by pacejmiller
We finally started learning how to write a script in our screenwriting class last night. About time, considering we have to hand in a first draft of an original screenplay in a couple of weeks.
I have decided to go with a short film as opposed to a feature. This is, after all, my first screenplay (the old crap I did with a friend doesn't count — those were never finished anyway). After last night's class, I'm sure I made the right decision, because writing a screenplay is so much harder than I had envisioned.
You do learn a lot from reading screenplays, watching films and reading up on screenplay writing conventions and basic principles, but it's not until you sit down to write one that you realise how difficult it is. How do you structure it? How do you describe the characters? How do you transition from one scene to another, from one Act to another? So many problems, and yet there's so many ways to solve them!
I keep making the mistake of putting in too much aesthetic detail as opposed to capturing the essence of the tone and mood. Who cares about what the characters are wearing or if they are shaven? Wardrobe and make-up can take care of that. It's about making the script director and actor-friendly, so when they read it, it gives them an idea of what they have to do, while still allowing some level of creative freedom.
The short film I have in mind is a simple concept, but hard to pull off. I've got the major plot points and the characters (I literally woke up in the middle of the night last week, had a sudden burst of inspiration and developed all the main characters before going back to bed), and last night I finally learned how to use a screenwriting program. The one I'm using is Celtx, a free program (that can be downloaded here). I can't compare it to the many other free programs out there, but so far I have found it easy to use and navigate.
Whilst mucking around online, I also found this event called "Script Frenzy". It's the screenwriter's NaNoWriMo. Write a 100-page screenplay in the month of April. Sounds too challenging for me. I'm going to stick to my 15-page first draft for now.
Lastly, we watched this Aussie short film last night by Nash Edgerton called "Spider". I'm not usually a fan of short films but this one was superb. Check it out below.

New Orleans, city of institutionalized decay, seems at first an odd place for industrial music's leading light to call home. You'd think the practitioner of a noise so forward-looking, energetic, and technocentric would pick somewhere less nostalgia-bound, lazy, and decrepit to hang his computer cables. But driving around in Trent Reznor's decidedly high tech Sony 2600ZM (or whatever), past the gracefully crumbling verandas of the Garden District ("There's Anne Rice's house - and there's the carriage house where the Vampire Lestat lived") and on into the vibrant French Quarter, you get a sense of the town's dark, almost gothic appeal. And even though Reznor's not quite the self obsessed, tormented poet type he's at times been depicted as, this side of New Orleans suits him. There's a deeply warm, life-affirming quality to the city - surprising amid all that decay - which also finds an analog in Trent's character. As well as his music. Which is not something I came here expecting to find out.

Armenia Tree Project (ATP) was founded in 1994 by philanthropist Carolyn Mugar. During the winter of 1992 while visiting Armenia, Ms. Mugar saw that families desperate to heat their homes were burning their own furniture, and thousands of trees were being cut for fuel. She decided to commit towards preventing further deforestation in Armenia.
In order to research and develop a plan to found an organization that would work towards realizing her goals, she turned to Regina Eddy, who was an experienced developer of non-governmental organization (NGO) programs. Ms. Eddy agreed to serve as ATP's Executive Director, and in late 1993 they traveled to Armenia to hire a staff. ATP's efforts in Armenia were officially launched with the start of the first tree-planting project at the Nork Senior Center in the spring of 1994. The organization was established as a project of the Armenian Assembly of America.
During the course of an eight-year time span, thousands of trees were planted in Armenian communities throughout the country under the Sponsor-A-Tree program, two state-of-the-art nurseries were opened in Karin and Khachpar, several forest rejuvenation programs were implemented in Tsitsernakaberd Park and elsewhere, and a database containing over 7,000 donors was created.
In 2001, Jeff Masarjian joined Armenia Tree Project as Executive Director, replacing Ms. Eddy, and began to redirect ATP's goals towards more aggressive, all-encompassing reforestation efforts, aimed at rehabilitating devastated rural and urban areas and providing Armenian citizens with the resources as well as incentive for redeveloping their immediate environments. Specifically, visionary programs have been launched in Aygut in the vicinity of Lake Sevan and in Vanadzor, the third largest city in Armenia, located in the Lori region.

Our Collection Covered by i-D Magazine
Many celebrities such as Madonna have graced the cover of the magazine.
For this issue Karl Lagerfeld was on the cover. Our company's collection was in the magazine in March. The project was coordinated by Patti Wilson, who is a famous stylist who works all over the world. I did the kimono coordination for the shoot using our company's"uchikake" kimono.
I asked her what kind of story she wanted to do given the example materials I had available. Patti wanted to do something traditional but not too traditional. The assignment she gave me was very difficult to picture in my head but what I came up with is pictured below.
I assume that the editors of the magazine liked our work very much because this photos appeared right after the cover page on the magazine's website in March.
When I completed this work, Patti told me that my work and coordination was better than she had expected and I was very happy to hear that. I was glad that my work and her image greatly resembled each other.
Projects for fashion magazines feels very fun. Not only because I can meet and work with creative people but also because I can meet with people from many different countries and can work for many magazines from all over the world that do shoots in New York.
I would like to thank Patti's staff who noticed that my work appeared in i-D magazine. I would love to work with them again.

Billy Slaughter played as Veterinarian
Martha Stewart played as herself
David Walton played as Mike Mitchell
J. J. Watt played as Coach Craig

The Story Line:
Amy Mitchell is a wedded woman that has two children, Jane and Dylan, who feels overcommitted and overworked. She worked as a sales representative for a hip cafe company, preparing healthful, hand-packed food for lunch for her children, goes to all of the extracurricular activities of the kids, does most of the kids homework, and active in the PTA in her school, who is run by the bossy Gwendolyn James with her cronies, Stacy and Vicky. When she discovered that her husband Mike is cheating on her via internet with the naked dairy farmer, Amy kicks him out and tries to keep all and everything together.
After an exceptional stressful day, Amy quits the PTA in reply to Gwendolyn's overzealous sale plans with her cakes. In a close by rock bar, Amy meets a sexually-active, laid back, single mom, Carla, and Kiki, the stay-at-home mother of four children, adores Amy's disagreement with Gwendolyn. Carla and Amy were irritated to find out that Kiki's spouse is domineering and expected her to be careful with the kids and the house chores, having no assistance at all, while Kiki and Amy were disturbed by Carla's very accommodating approach with her parenting. The trio goes on board to an all-evening bender that motivates Amy to warm up from her kids: she brings them to ride in the classic car of Mike, takes lunch from Arby's, and oblige Dylan to defend for himself in preventing him from being entitled and lazy, and takes the over achiever and constantly strained Jane for a day spa. Amy herself decided to begin dating, but discovers herself really inexperienced because of her early marriage and early motherhood. She finally ended up striking a linked with Jessie, the handsome widower in their school who had a crush over her.
The Writers' View:
This is one more sample of how a fine comedy is a lot harder to create than an action flick or a good drama. I was pulled along with this film by a buddy anticipating that it might not be as hard and tough as the TV trailers and posts are suggesting. The movie will somewhat surprise the viewers, though it will not make you care that much for the actors and not that funny to make you laugh and create some outlay about the story, but still it failed to have some points to be funny. Since there are some poor dialogue and performances, but honestly, there can be room for improvement for a better high quality film.

Under a year since a huge tsunami inundated paddy fields in Japan with salty sludge, scientists are near to developing locally-adapted, salt-tolerant rice.
Following a Japan-UK research collaboration, a new method for marker assisted breeding is being used to slash the time it takes to isolate new traits such as salt tolerance. Details of the new method, called MutMap, will be published in Nature Biotechnology on Sunday so they can be used by scientists and breeders worldwide to dramatically accelerate crop breeding.
"The beauty of the new method is its simplicity," said Professor Sophien Kamoun, co-author on the paper and Head of The Sainsbury Laboratory on Norwich Research Park.
"By working with cultivars favoured by farmers and already adapted to local conditions, the MutMap method will enable plant scientists and breeders to develop new crop varieties in nearer a year rather than five to ten years."
The new technique also takes advantage of the speed at which sequencing can now be done to screen plant mutants for valuable trai

The Wonderful 101 - Wii U
in my top games of the year, so could The Wonderful 101 possibly live up to my lofty expectations, too? The answer is mixed and while the game is truly wonderful (sorry, I couldn't resist) in places, some niggles with the game's controls sour the experience slightly, but more of that later.
The story follows the Wonderful 100 - you are the 101st member - a gallant band of masked superheroes who are in the midst of a titanic struggle against the alien GEATHJERK army - a mob who are intent on destroying the world. It's all a bit cliched, but as a framework to hang the blistering action on, it works perfectly and there's a huge dollop of humour thrown in to keep the story light-hearted and fresh.
The twist with The Wonderful 101 is that you don't control a single member of this mighty force - you actually control all of them simultaneously. You also have the ability to fuse your heroes together to create mighty weapons of mass destruction, including a brilliant blue sword, a giant gun and an apartment-sized fist, with which to smash the robotic extraterrestrial menace.
Platinum Games were widely applauded for the implementation of deep and satisfying combat systems in games such as Bayonetta and Vanquish and that rich tradition continues here. However, you will need to spend a bit of time experimenting here to get under the game's skin and draw the most from the experience.
The action is relentless - rarely does the game pause for breath - with the player buffeted between one eye-popping boss battle to the next even bigger showdown. Learning which formations to unleash on these daunting foes is half the battle and finding their weak point and exploiting it with style and panache is a great feeling. Mind bending combinations can be pulled off and the game allows players to mix and match multiple fighting styles simultaneously to cause complete carnage. These commands are issued either with the Wii U's right stick or by drawing a variety of shapes on the touch pad. It takes a while to get used to this, but perseverance pays off, even if the command input sometimes doesn't quite register properly in the heat
of battle.
Other issues arise when the action switches from the TV to the pad's screen when your bustling mob are indoors. Everything gets far too cramped and controlling the camera can be more difficult than it really needs to be. That said, it's an ambitious project and one that at least attempts to use the Wii U's gamepad for something other than an extra inventory screen.
To reward experimentation and effectiveness while battering the alien forces into submission, medals as dished out on the completion of levels, giving the game plenty of replayability for those who simply need to Hoover up all those shiny platinum medals. Collecting achievements in the shape of bottle caps also gives the player plenty to think about while saving the planet.
Visually, The Wonderful 101 is an absolute triumph, with its magical isometric vantage point giving a fresh perspective on the action, while the stunning tilt-shift effect, bright colours and clean lines simply add to the game's splendid visual appeal. The characters, too, are a delight, with the bunch beautifully detailed and bursting with charm and character. They gleefully slap down GEATHJERK forces with aplomb and enthusiastically scamper across the screen with vim and vigour, accompanied at all times by a stirring soundtrack.
So while The Wonderful 101 occasionally misses a beat, it's a unique and refreshing all-action experience which rewards the player handsomely. There's really nothing quite like it on the market and is yet another corker of a game on Nintendo's home console.

Definately do not use any type of maple for structural items. Maybe for a decorative piece on the dashboard, but nothing anywhere near water. Heart pine? I thought that was extinct? If it is the true old heart pine, it was a species used often in boat construction.
Floor replacement depends upon what you want. I try to mimic the original because I like to keep my boats as close to original as possible. I have used plywood for flooring covered in marine vinyl, like Nautolex. I have seen stained and varnished wood slat floors put in these types of boats.


text: The sound of birds chirping and children giggling outside is a definite sign that spring is here. It's the perfect time to spring your family activities into action. "Outdoor family days include renewing bonds, showing your children the importance of physical activity and giving them a chance to use their creativity," says Aeva Gaymon-Doomes, a child psychiatrist in Chevy Chase, Md. Springtime activities, though, don't have to be hard on your bank balance. Keep your family active and your finances in shape with family activities perfect for your budget.

This example of "Peace Round" is performed
by Bards in a Box
Please refer to Cantaria's Copyright information
Notes: There are many verses and variations to this round.
You can sing each verse together in unison but mix up the verses, as in the
first clip above; or you can pick a particular verse and sing it as a
traditional round. Vary your beginning and ending
pieces for different effect/mood. It lends itself to writing your own verses,
The Digital Tradition form has several longstanding discussion threads about this song with hundreds of variations:
After plowing through them, I come to the conclusion that everyone knows this song, but nobody actually knows where/when it came from.
Lyr Req: 'Rose, Rose' round: More verses?
Tune req: Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose (Traditional)
Rose, rose, rose, rose
query: rose, rose, rose
'Rose' or 'Peace' round - counter-verses/variants
Lyr Req: Rose -- Campfire round
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose
Will I ever see thee wed? [or: red]
I will marry at thy will, sire,
At thy will.
Hey, ho, nobody's home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Still I will be very, very merry
Hey, ho, nobody's home.
Ding dong, ding dong
Wedding bells on an April morn
Carve my name on a moss covered stone,
On a moss covered stone.
Ding dong, ding dong
Funeral bells on a September morn,
Rose, oh Rose, is dead and gone sire,
Dead and gone.
Ah [Thou] poor bird
Take thy flight
High above the sorrows
Of this sad night
Shalom chaverim, shalom chaverim,
Shalom, shalom,
L'hitraot, l'hitraot,
Shalom, shalom
This verse is known as "Peace Round:"
What a goodly thing
If the children of the earth
Could dwell together
In peace.

Our Small Business Snapshot series features photos that represent, in just one image, what the small businesses we feature are all about. Jen Lewis, executive director of Purse & Clutch, an online boutique founded in 2011 that sells fair trade purses and accessories, explains how this image represents her business.
Lewis explains...
For us, fair trade is a work of art that represents the time, talent, and design of other cultures around the world. We focus on celebrating the men and women who make the items we carry in our boutique, which carries only ethically made items to help create sustainable jobs for artisans in developing countries with limited opportunities. This picture shows the care and work that goes into a bag as well as the amazing diversity of each clutch.
I started Purse & Clutch after hearing about the amazing work one of my good friends was doing with an artisan group in Northern India called JOYN. After hearing the stories of how providing jobs for the people in this village was radically changing their lives for the better, I knew I wanted to find a way to help.
Since starting the business, we've expanded to include several other artisan groups around the world and work hard to curate a beautiful collection of ethically made handbags each fashion season.
One of the challenges we face is that there are a lot of preconceived notions about fair trade. A lot of people ask us what percentage we give back to the artisan groups we work with, but with our business model we don't give back — we give first. We don't want to create a charity in which artisans depend on us, but we want to connect talented makers to a market here in the United States, so that they are an equal partner in our business. We're in this for long-term systematic change in the fashion industry because we believe that people matter and that we are intimately connected with those who make our clothes.

Frank and Dave serve as two Subconscious guards in front of the door.Its purpose is to lock up and confine troublemakers. Because of this, it houses Riley's greatest phobias, which appear as an exaggerated allegory. Such include a broccoli-like forest, the staircase leading to the basement, her grandmother's vacuum cleaner, or the worst fear of all, Jangles the Clown.After Bing Bong is arrested, he is imprisoned in Riley's Subconscious.

Achieve Water Quality
Create a healthy pond with the Deep Aire bottom mounted air diffuser by Air-O-Lator .
It creates a healthy pond by taking oxygen to the pond's lowest depth. A diffused aeration system is a great solution for ponds deeper than 10 feet.
Designed as an alternative source of aeration, the system utilizes an air compressor, located on the shore, to deliver oxygen through a hose to a special diffuser lying on the pond bottom.
Various motors and models are available.

She came down the stairs and headed in my direction, a frown etched in her brow and her mouth poised to utter potential disaster for me. Moving deftly across the den, she now was within smacking range, so I immediately put up my defenses, and paid strict attention. TLW (The Little Woman) began:
"DoyoulikethesejeansIboughtonTV? Ithinktheymakemelookslimandtheyareverycomfortableandthepricewasright. Whatdoyouthink?"
Me: (Shaking with fear) "I like them. I think they make you look VERY slim and they seem to be very comfortable and the price I'm sure is right."
Yes, I'm a sniveling, spineless coward when it comes to critique's of TLW's apparel when she is in it, and within earshot.
This practice has been instituted early on, right during her first pregnancy, and I have faithfully stayed alive, ever since. I also employ this technique when discussing her cooking, baking, and women in general.
That's right, I AM a bigger spineless sniveling coward than you first thought!
But, my Momma didn't raise no fool (sound like a sports figure or two making big bucks!) Most married men like myself, know better. I call it the: NO BETTER CONCEPT" It means 'No' words must come from my mouth. That plus the fact that I won't get a word in edgewise, anyway, once I open it!
Cowardice runs in the family, Dad was always on the run, with Mom close behind, usually with a pot in her hand, or any object that could cause bodily harm. Dad taught me to keep my head down, keep moving my feet, even if she IS gaining on me, and keep yelling: "I'M SORRY!"
Besides, as TLW herself said: "I know you can't answer me honestly, but you are correct!"

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were visibly excited as they carried out their first joint public engagement with Prince Charles and Camilla at the Royal Albert Hall
Prince William and Katherine Middleton joined the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall at a charity concert performed by X Factor judge and former Take That singer Gary Barlow.
The concert, organised to raise funds for Prince Charles's charity, the Prince's Trust, and the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry, was also attended by thousands of cheering fans.
The glittering event saw the royal fashionista, Katherine, in a black and cream tulip patterned mini dress by Zara, teamed with a black Ralph Lauren jacket. The 29-year-old ditched her famous nude shoes and opted for a pair of high heels. Even Camilla sparkled in an olive dress and jacket by her favourite designer, Anna Valentine, while the royal men were smartly dressed in blue lounge suits.
Before the concert began, Barlow chatted with the guests of honour and told them: "I hope you enjoy tonight and I hope it's not too loud," the BBC reported. Prince William responded jokingly: "The louder the better, the louder the better."
The father-of-three opened the concert with great applause to the song The Greatest Day Of Our Lives. He drew even more cheers when he welcomed the royal couples, who took their seats in the royal box. He greeted them with the salutation: "Good evening to our beautiful Royal Family," adding: "All the money goes to a fantastic cause, so we're killing two birds with one stone." The prince acknowledged the public reception by smiling and waving a programme in the air.
In his first solo concert since 1999, Barlow sang A Million Love Songs, Pray and Nobody Else, among other hits to raise more than £400,000 for the Prince's Trust over two consecutive nights at the venue.
The Duchess of Cambridge turned out to be a Take That fan, as she was seen singing along to Back for Good and an encore of Never Forget, joined by clapping from Prince William and Camilla to the music during the concert. Prince Charles also appeared to be enjoying the evening, as he was spotted tapping his hand on the armrest of his chair.
The 40-year-old X Factor judge was joined by Strictly Come Dancing contestant Jason Donovan, as well as Olly Murs, Lulu and X Factor's Marcus Collins.
After the performance, the performers and charity supporters mingled and chatted with the royal couples.
An excited Barlow said after the show: "It's been great. Both nights were amazing. People have been buying lots of merchandise, which all goes to a good cause."
