Swingers Party – A couple visit a place of unlimited pleasure
It has been an interesting few months. I never thought it possible for me to even consider participating in sex with the neighbours. The first time that Carol came over was hard for me, particularly watching Michael finish by having sex with her. The next time with Carol and her boyfriend was better; Michael and I were able to make love as a couple and I guess I felt less jealous about that. Carol then joined the two of us, and it was even better to have the full attention of Michael and her.
Now, it is our first party and I am not sure what to expect. The rules are to dress sexy; Michael suggested that red underwear would go well against my brown skin. I let him purchase a lacy g-string and a matching bra. Looking in the mirror, the underwear does look good, he is better at those things that I am. Although I am 40, I have been dieting and working out, and it is really showing. Michel says I look great, he loves my arse and grabs it every chance he can get. I am going to wear the tight black dress I bought for last years Christmas party with some black high heels. Not too high though. Underneath the g-string I am freshly shaved and ready for the night.
Michael is wearing new underwear, but just a new jockey style. He thinks it is tacky for men to wear g-strings and other strange attire. Over that goes his normal clothes. Like me, he is shaved in all of the intimate places.
Our hotel is only a short walk to the club. Michael deposits our belongings in the safe at reception before we head off.
At the club, which looks like it used to be a factory or warehouse, we are greeted by a lady in her 30′s. We tell her who we are and Michael pays her the $50. She invites us in and shows us around.
Downstairs is what she describes as the 'meeting' area. This is an open space with couches and a bar. Also downstairs is the 'group sex' room. This is a large room, mirrors right along one wall and windows overlooking the yard. The room is entirely covered with a plastic covered mattress. Moving outside, the yard has a large wooden spa and deck, as well as some tables and chairs.
Upstairs are what she calls the 'private' rooms. There are several rooms; each one has a smaller version of the mattress downstairs. She gives us a key on a chain and takes us to the locker room. Here we can leave our clothes. In each locker are two towels and some condoms. We shan't need those as I have insisted that Michael and I are only operating as a couple. We undress down to our underwear and Michael hangs the locker key around his neck.
Downstairs, Michael asks me if I want a drink.
"A glass of wine please."
"Are you sure, you don't normally drink?"
"Yes, quite sure."
"Make sure you don't drink too much. It will affect you more if you are not used to it."
Michael returns with a glass of white wine and some bottled water for himself.
"Be careful, sip it to make it last, It tastes sweet but is still quite powerful." On the couch in the meeting room are another couple. They are fully clothed and holding hands, looking as nervous as I feel. At least Michael has enough front for both of us.
It is already 9 o'clock, and the party is starting to move. We go outside to check the spa. It has several men and women in it. One man is on his knees on the ledge inside the spa; his face buried between the legs of a middle-aged woman. The women is sitting on the decking around the spa, her legs either side of his head and holding a glass of wine like mine; looking quite unconcerned. The other men and women in the spa are hugging and kissing, and probably playing with each other below the frothing water. A movement catches my eye. There is a woman on her back on one of the garden tables. A man is standing and thrusting into her with slow strokes. The only connection between the two seems to be his penis. I feel like I am spying so I look away quickly. Something draws me back, and I grip Michael's hand and point them out to him. Nothing much else is happening out here, and it seems rather lonely in the semi-darkness.
We adjourn inside the club. The couple are still on the couch, still holding hands. There is more happening in the group sex room. A man is on his back, and a slim lady in her 30′s is on top. Only she is facing backwards, facing towards his feet. Michael says that is called a 'reverse cowgirl'. She has very pale skin, whiter than I have ever seen before. She has red hair and I notice that she has left some hair around her pussy. It is red too. Michael was right, he said he had been with natural blondes who were like that. She alters her position, leaning back more. She seems to be enjoying it.
A middle-aged woman, a little plump, is on top of a man, he is fucking her from below. A second man is fingering her arse. The second man then moves forward, and presses his penis into her arsehole. The woman stops moving and allows herself to be penetrated by two men at once. She grimaces a little as he eases his way into her. Slowly, both men resume thrusting, the man on top slowly at first. It looks like their penises are touching they are so close together. The woman shows no discomfort having two men inside her. That must be an amazing experience. A third man gets on his knees near her face. She reaches up and takes him in her mouth. I watch now as she satisfies three men. I can feel myself getting wet, and my red underwear now has a dark patch as it soaks up my juices. I feel Michael's manhood, it is larger but still not erect. We will have to do something about that soon.
The man on the bottom doesn't last so long, he starts pumping faster and faster and then slows when he cums. He waits a second and pulls out before his condom slips off. The man on top is also starting to move faster. He too doesn't last so long. I know how tight it must be for him. He pumps faster a couple of times before slowing when he cums as well. He grabs his condom as he pulls out. The third man is getting all of the woman's attention now. She sucks him as well as rubbing his shaft with one hand. He grunts and cums, but we don't see anything as he is also protected by latex.
There is another couple to one side. He is standing and she is on her knees, his manhood in her mouth. I watch as she runs her lips up and down his shaft while stroking him at the same time. After a while, he starts moving his hips, fucking her mouth while she bobs back and forward in time. He runs his hands through her hair as she continues to lick and suck on him. His thrusting becomes more frantic and I can feel him almost ready to cum. With a final gasp, he comes inside her mouth. She keeps on sucking on him, swallowing his semen although I can see a little dripping to one side. With some of the semen running down her face, she smiles like she enjoyed it as much as he did.
I have finished my drink and Michael asks me if I want another.
"No thanks."
Maybe he was right and it is affecting me. All I want to do now is get rid of my underwear. I unhook my bra and slip down my g-string. I then gently ease Michael's underwear down. He takes the hint and steps out of them. His manhood is definitely swollen but not yet ready. I quickly place our small pile of clothing in the corner before returning to him. He grabs me and kisses me while stroking his favourite part, my bottom. He asks me if I want to go upstairs to the private rooms. I say no, lets do it here.
I stroke his shaft, and feel it quickly grow with my caresses. His penis is not much longer than most of the others, but it is so much thicker. He asks me how I would like it.
"Reverse cowgirl"
He lies down, and I kneel astride him, guiding him in. This does feel different. I lean forward and hold his legs and then start to stroke slowly. I look around and I notice we have attracted an audience. There are a couple of men and women up close and watching us. This isn't what I expected, so many people watching.
One of the men reaches across and fondles my breasts. Like a lot of men, he is too hard, squeezing my breasts and hurting my nipples. I brush him away.
I change a little and lean back. Michael's rod is now touching that sweet spot inside on each stroke. Now I know why that red-haired girl was enjoying this so much. It really is good.
In the crowd is a girl with long blonde hair. She moves up close and reaches forward between my legs. She gazes up at me and smiles. I nod. She starts to rub my clit ever so gently. Now, this is heaven, I can feel Michael's swollen manhood brushing my sweet spot while this girl strokes and caresses my clit. I close my eyes and try to forget about our audience, I just want to cum. But I can't! No matter how good it feels, I am not getting close. Any my legs are getting tired too.
I ease myself off Michael, I hear him fall out with a 'plop'. I ask him to get on top. I need to feel him deep inside me. I spread my legs and pull my knees back in anticipation. As he moves towards my hungry opening, I guide him in. He slides right in with his full depth. He pulls almost right out and does it again. At the same time, I can feel the girl up close to us; she is caressing my face while Michael thrusts so deeply. I can feel the sweat on his chest, I see the dampness in his hair. I think he is finding it as hard to cum as I am. He slows down again, drawing right out of me until I can feel him just caressing my lips before thrusting down with his full length. Then again, and again and again. I can feel the tension in his muscles as he seems to be willing himself onward. At last, one last deep thrust and a deep gasp as he cums inside me. He continues to pump three or four more times until he is spent. I love that feeling when I am full of his liquid, when I can feel both his juice and his member still inside me.
He kisses me tenderly as the girl rubs her hand through his damp hair. He lies there for a bit before pulling out. The girl finds a facecloth from somewhere and wipes the juices away from my pussy and where they have drained onto the mattress.
Then she does something unexpected. She bends over and kisses me, I feel her tongue between my lips, I open my mouth in anticipation. Our tongues touch, hers deep inside me. At the same time she reaches down to my swollen and wet pussy and starts to stroke me again. Quietly, she asks, "I want to taste you." I nod.
She leans across my, running her tongue around my nipples, licking her way down to my womanhood. I feel her hair tickling against my skin as she explores my body. She finally gets down to my clit and teases it with her tongue.
I have never tasted a female before, but I look across at her cute bottom so close to my head. I reach across and gently motion her legs towards me. She gets the hint and moves to straddles my face. I look up at her so close to my face, her labia surrounded by trimmed blonde hair. I brace myself by holding her hips and raise my mouth to kiss her there. Her lips are engorged and wet but the taste and smell is sweet. Sweeter than I imagined. I imitate her motion on me, rubbing my tongue up and down her lips and then moving to her clit, large and protruding with the excitement. I then lick her lips again just to taste her juices. I can see why men just beg to go down on us,
The girl moves, and whispers to me that it is best if she concentrates on me first. She resumes by kneeling between my legs, I feel her slip her tongue inside me. Never before had a finger or a cock felt so good. Her tongue was everywhere, trying to devour my insides. Then she pulls it out and moves up. Her tongue makes contact with my clit, I just so want to cum, I am willing her to make it happen. She opens her entire mouth and devours me. Her entire mouth and lips are working on my clit. I feel the sensations build as she holds my hips to brace herself against my movements. I cry out when I cum, it's just so wonderful as the feelings flood through me. She continues to lick and suck, it's incredible. I feel the feelings building. I raise my hips, trying to force her face harder onto me. Again those feelings flood through me. But she doesn't take her face away. I want her to stop and I want her to keep going. Once more I feel it build up, again I cry out. Again I cum.
It's too much, I need to stop, I need to recover. I grab her head and ease it away from me. She looks at me and smiles.
"Now its my turn"
She lies down beside me and I take the hint. I kneel between her legs and bury my face in her cute, blonde – framed womanhood. All I want to do is devour this pretty young girl who has taken me places I never believed possible. I start to lick her lips, lick her clit. I let my feelings take over. Then I think, slow down, take it easy. I take her whole clit in my mouth and suck and lick it. She moves her hips, I hold onto her to keep contact. Still I continue to devour her. I feel her pressing her hips hard against my face. She reaches forward and holds my head. She cries out as she cums.
Just as she had done to me, I keep it up; again she presses her hips up hard against me, her pussy dripping; her juices running down my chin. Again she cries out. Again I had make her cum. Still I want to keep going.
"Oh yes, just like that"
She wants to cum. I keep stroking her clit. Again she cries out and I have to hold on as she cums again.
Then she sits up. I move along her body, kissing her tummy, her belly button, her breasts. I want to devour this wonderful girl who has brought be so much pleasure. She reaches forward and kisses me on the lips, my lips that are still wet with her juices. Then she pulls out from under me and disappears out of view.
I notice that the crowd around us is now a little smaller. Michael is kneeling nearby, his member starting to grow again.
"Are you alright?" I ask. "You look a little left out."
"No, not at all darling, you two are the most beautiful people in the room, and that was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen"
He leans across and kisses me. I run my hands up his shaft and feel it start to grow again. I want to eat him too.
"Stand up Michael"
He did as he was told. I kneel before him and take him in my mouth. I can feel it grow. I remembered what the lady was doing when we saw her earlier in the evening and copied her. As well as running my lips up and down his shaft, I also use my hands on him. I feel him growing. There are still one or two watching us, but I couldn't care less. This has been a special night for me, and one which would not have happened had he not pushed me a little. I want to taste his cum for the first time.
I feel some cum on the end of his shaft already, it tastes a little salty and not unpleasant. Hey, I think I learnt tonight that our bodies juices are something to relish, not something to be ashamed of. I continue to suck and to stroke. I hope he doesn't take to long to cum, my neck and lips are starting to ache.
He can't run his hands through my African hair, but he holds my head and strokes my cheek. I continue to suck, I want to feel him fill me up and I want to taste his masculine juices. I feel his muscles tighten, he grunts and he spurts into my mouth, again and again. It runs over my tongue and down my throat. Hey, it feels good. Every woman should do this. I want every last drop, so I run my tongue up and down the length of his shaft, licking away all of that lovely man – juice.
"Darling," he says, "I think it is time for us to go."
I grab our underwear and we make our way to the locker room. On the way, coming down the stairs, we see the couple who were sitting on the couch. Coming down the stairs from the 'private rooms'. They are still holding hands only she is wearing nothing but roll top stockings and a smile and he just has the smile. His hair is untidy, hers is dishevelled. I think they had a fun time too.
In the locker room are large showers, big enough for the two of us. We shower together, Michael washes away the juices from between my legs, and then I wash him. We get dressed and head back to the hotel. It is not late, but a lot has happened in the last three hours or so.
I slept oh so soundly and I think Michael did too.
I awake with the unusual noises of the city. I feel a little confused. I notice that Michael is stirring.
"Yes darling"
"I am not sure where we go from here"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, last night was more wonderful than I imagined, but how do we repeat that?"
"Last night was special, and we will do it again sometime. But there is still you and me together. And anytime we want to we can make love together."
He leans over and kisses me. I kiss him back. He runs his hands around to my bottom and fondles it. I get the hint and remove my nightie. He continues to kiss me, drawing my lips between his. At the same time he gently caresses my breasts, circling but not touching the nipples.
He holds me in his arms and hugs me close to him. I wrap my leg over his, and he reaches down and fondles my leg and thigh. He knows me, he knows which parts of me to rub hard and which parts to be gentle with.
He continues on my lower half. I spread my legs to give him access. He rubs my thighs, straying to my pussy lips before moving to the other thigh. He spends a little more time at my pussy, getting me hotter all of the time. All the time, he kisses my mouth, kisses the nape of my neck, kisses my nipples.
I reach down for his manhood, but it is hard and erect. I don't need to stroke it, I just hold it. I wrap my fingers around it and feel the size and feel the hardness.
He then moves to my clit. He places his fingers each side of and starts to rub. Not too hard, not too soft, not too fast, not too slow. I feel the pleasure building. Every now and again, he rubs a little harder. My pleasure builds more and he must sense it. He gradually increases the pressure but not the speed. The familiar sensations build up and with a gasp I cum. He immediately stops, knowing I must be sensitive. That was just so good.
He starts on my pussy lips, preparing me for him. He slips one, then two fingers inside for a little while. Not too long, there is something much bigger to follow.
Silently, he rolls me on my back and lifts my right leg. I pull it out of the way and he slides underneath, his leg then over my left leg and his hips right where they should be. He takes his shaft and edges it forward. I take it from him and press it to me. He slowly enters me. I feel myself expand around his size.
He can't kiss me, he is lower on the bed. He strokes my cheek and kisses by breasts. He holds my face, leaves my pussy alone. All the time, he thrusts gently. I reach down and feel myself. I feel his shaft inside me just below my fingers. I rub myself, not to make myself cum, just to feel good. All of the time he kisses my nipples and caresses my face.
I feel him quicken, he thrusts faster and then he thrusts very, very deep into me. He grunts as he cums. I feel him fill me, his juices and his shaft now inside me. He continues to lie inside me as I rest my leg on his hip. The juices are running out of me and down my legs.
"What about the sheet?" I ask
"It's a present for the maid" he replies. "The stain is her souvenir that we love each other and we made love this morning in this bed."

The Buried Life (TBL) originated in 2006 when four now-twenty-something's - Ben Nemtin, Dave Lingwood, Duncan Penn and Jonnie Penn - set out in an old RV to complete a list of "100 Things We Want To Do Before We Die," and help out strangers along the way accomplish something on their own lists.
Originally from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, the foursome pulled a borrowed '57 Dodge Coachman RV out of a field which lost five of its six tires on the road, bought a secondhand camera for $100 on eBay and hit the road for two weeks to see how many items they could check off their list.
On their journey, TBL, approached people to ask the question, "What do YOU want to do before you die?"
The name, The Buried Life refers to a poem written in 1852 by British poet, Matthew Arnold, in which he says our daily life becomes so cumbersome that our REAL life becomes buried - and we each have a longing to live our "buried life". Jonnie Penn studied the poem in an English class at the time the team was formed, and soon the name stuck.
By 2008, after three years of pursing their list, building an online community and funding it through sponsorship and working extra jobs, TBL, had people from more than 139 countries participating in their website, without any promotion or marketing.
In mid-2008, MTV's Reveille's Howard T. Owens helped the team check off #53: Make a TV Show, by capturing the four in a reality show, in real time with no manipulation and no assistance from MTV, except for cameras rolling.
Presenting will be Duncan Penn, eldest Penn brother and honors graduate, founded an NGO with the goal of introducing soccer to kids around the world who have experienced the ravages of war. With three others, Penn successfully delivered 1,000 soccer balls and pairs of cleats to impoverished children in Ecuador and helped build two soccer fields near Mount Chimborozo. Penn's work has inspired Rwanda and Uganda to adopt similar programs and now working towards building eco sustainable soccer fields.
Jonnie Penn, who spent his high school days filming snowboard and skate videos with his friends, became an award-winning filmmaker by age 18. The accomplished activist, philosopher and writer was chosen to represent Canada at the Oxford University Debate Championships. Penn delighted in playing the role of devil's advocate at McGill University while he was in attendance.

CHICAGO -- Chicago dyed its river green, bagpipes sounded on New York's 5th Avenue, and in Georgia, crowds waited for 30 minutes to buy beer for breakfast before watching Savannah's 188-year-old St. Patrick's Day parade.
Thousands gathered Saturday morning along the Chicago River, some in shamrock-shaped sunglasses and others dressed as leprechauns with fake orange beards. Applause erupted as a motorboat sped in circles and a man on board dumped a secret dye in the water, quickly turning it a psychedelic green. The much-loved annual ritual kicked off a day of partying.
This year, the guest of honor was Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, who took part in the parade of floats, traditional Irish dancers and musicians marching along an avenue near Chicago's lakefront. Kenny began the day at City Hall with Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Both men sported green ties and shamrocks in their lapels.
The prime minister said he was honored to take part in Chicago's festivities and praised the city with a large Irish population for being so receptive to immigrants.
"That's a privilege that I shall remember for a long time," Kenny said of his role in the festivities.
In Savannah, revelers set out folding chairs before dawn to catch the parade, a tradition that started in 1824 as a procession with religious roots by settlers who immigrated to the Georgia coast.
Lines of thirsty patrons were spilling out of downtown bars before the pre-parade Mass wrapped up at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.
"It's ridiculous for still being in the a.m.," said Timmy Watkins, a utility worker who emerged from Pinkie Master's Lounge with a beer in each hand after standing in line for 30 minutes. "These are both mine. I waited in line long enough. I figured I'd get two."
On Chicago's riverfront, 6-year-old Elly Weber sat on her father's shoulders wearing some bobbly, antennae-like shamrock headgear and marveled at how the river first turned yellow and then, almost immediately, an eye-popping green.
Her 3-year-old brother, Sean, was equally stupefied.
"It's getting all green," he cried out. "Will everything turn green? Why?"
A few kayakers couldn't resist the chance to paddle through the unnatural-looking water. Crowds watching from a bridge roared their approval when one of the paddlers purposely half-capsized his kayak, dunking himself in the green water.
In New York, a sea of green, kilts and bagpipes flowed along 5th Avenue as large crowds gathered for the city's 251st annual Saint Patrick's Day Parade.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, leader of the city's Roman Catholics, announced before the parade stepped off that iconic St. Patrick's Cathedral would undergo a $175 million renovation. He said the first phase will involve cleaning the cathedral's soot-damaged exterior and replacing its windows.
Even President Barack Obama paid tribute to his Irish heritage, as one of his great-great-great grandfathers on his Kansas mother's side emigrated from Ireland in 1850. Last year, Obama visited his ancestral home of Moneygall and drank a Guinness at the local pub.
This year, the president stopped into the Dubliner Restaurant and Pub near Washington's landmark Union Station for a pint, accompanied by Moneygall bar owner Ollie Hayes and Henry Healy, an eighth cousin to Obama and the closest relative still living in Ireland.
Across the ocean in Dublin, an estimated half a million people turned out for the parade that serves as a focal point for worldwide celebrations. It brought some cheer to a nation that has been grappling with 14 percent unemployment, a massive debt burden and a resumption of emigration levels last seen in the 1980s.
In his St. Patrick's Day message, Catholic Cardinal Sean Brady offered prayers to the estimated 50,000 citizens who have emigrated in the past year to escape Ireland's weak economy.
"May the memory of St. Patrick, who was himself carried off from his homeland at the age of 16, sustain all those who have left our shores for other lands," Brady said, referring to the saint's legendary background as a slave imported from Britain.

ST. ELMO – Two St. Elmo volleyball players have chosen to continue their athletic careers at Kaskaskia College.
Setter Perry Manley and middle hitter Savannah Feezel on Tuesday afternoon each signed letters of intent to join the Blue Angel program for the next two seasons.
"It makes me proud that I can go and watch my kids," said Lady Eagles coach Elise Asher. "I can take my team down there to give them some inspiration that they can do more."
The Vandalia wrestling team fell in its season-opener on Tuesday, losing at home to Belleville West, 60-7.
Jake Stewart won a major decision at 160 pounds, beating Wiil Peterson, 16-4, and Ryne Lipsey won at 113 pounds by defeating Zach Hanusek, 5-2.
The Vandals return to action on Saturday at the Civic Memorial Tournament.
LITCHFIELD – She didn't necessarily post gaudy numbers, but Megan Godoyo consistently made valuable contributions to the Lady Vandals throughout the Litchfield Thanksgiving Tournament.
And that is why the Vandalia junior was given all-tournament honors after the Lady Vandals placed third in the event following Saturday's 44-40 win against Carlinville.
Senior Shane Sefton made a 3-pointer in the final seconds of the third period to tie the game at 52, and junior Jacob Behrends sealed the win with a 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter of Brownstown's 70-65 win in Saturday's championship game of the Mulberry Grove/Ramsey Super Turkey Tournament.
The victory was the fourth straight game in which Brownstown had scored at least 70 points.
FARINA – A five-point possession in the middle of the third quarter was the turning point for Vandalia in a 46-26 victory at South central in last Tuesday's season-opener.
Senior Tim Ritchey made a 3-pointer but was fouled after the shot, and senior Michael Wells made a second-chance layup on the ensuing possession to give the Vandals a 30-14 lead and control of the game with 3:51 left in the third period.
ST. ELMO – The Eagles switched defenses to pull away from the Cougars in a National Trail Conference matchup on Tuesday.
That defensive switch turned a 12-12 tie into a 22-14 halftime lead during a 45-31 St. Elmo victory.
"We had to go sit in a zone – and I'm stubborn that way – but if we had stayed in man-to-man, we probably never would have pulled away," said Eagles coach Greg Feezel. "If we have to go to a zone, we will."
The schedule for this season's St. Elmo Holiday Tournament has been announced, and the hosts have the No. 1 seed.

Readers of this special issue of the Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science who are not members of the Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP) might well wonder what an "independent" information professional is and how that differs from other information professionals. There are probably as many perspectives on this question as there are practitioners. Here is one.
I am by training and profession a librarian, an occupation that I considered "professional" even before my graduate school education and its seemingly endless consideration of the sociological characteristics of a profession. I have worked for over 20 years in providing library and information services in various settings, including school, public, academic and special libraries, in not-for-profit and profit-making organizations, in private and governmental settings, and in agencies that operate at local, state, national and international levels.
During the past 10 years, I have been independent, i.e., self-employed, for at least half of my work-related time; during the past four years I've been self-employed full-time. I am a member of ASIS and of AIIP, as well as other local, regional and national information associations, including the American Library Association and Special Libraries Association. Clearly, to me at least, my commitment to the information professions is not at question. I could no sooner leave the occupation of creating, gathering, organizing, storing, evaluating, presenting and disseminating information in various ways than I could sever my relationship with the country of my birth.
There are those of my colleagues who suggest that AIIP members, in establishing owner-operated, for-profit information enterprises that offer information services to clients, are establishing a new profession, but I am not one of them. Since I come from a library and information sciences background and have experienced great diversity of work experiences in it, I have never felt that I was creating a new profession. I have simply transferred my field of operations from a single organization bounded by walls with a defined mission and user population and a fairly consistent funding authority, to an open arena with no definition from walls and no consistent funding authority, an arena that is continually defined and re-defined by multiple and varying clients and my responses to them.
Who are the clients of independent information professionals? Many independents serve businesses and the professions directly, providing information services or products ranging from research on demand to market or research analysis to software products. Others serve libraries and information centers by providing publications for the profession, consulting services, or temporary staffing on- or off-site. There is a large virtual network within the independent information professional community which encourages subcontracting among members when one independent has the client but doesn't have the time or special expertise to perform the work. Thus, independent information professionals are often clients of fellow independent information professionals.
An important distinguishing fact of independent work is that we almost always have multiple clients and perform multiple projects simultaneously, but all clients want, and think they are paying for, our full attention. Balancing among those clients when the crunch comes is what turns the ideal of being your own boss into the dilemma of being your own boss. When projects conflict, for reasons ranging from misjudging the time allotment to "acts of God," no one else besides the boss can set priorities or make decisions about what to do to get the jobs done as promised and satisfy the clients.
Most of our businesses start small, as one- or two-person operations, in the legal form of a sole proprietorship or partnership or, less often, as an incorporated entity. But goals, size, legal forms and operating style of the business tend to be re-evaluated and redefined as both the business and its owner(s) mature.
As we develop our businesses, some of us choose to build companies that target one or two aspects of the information market: providing research services, document delivery, seminars and training, writing and publishing, or software development. Others prefer to manage on a broader scale, balancing more activities across the information spectrum. I am one of the latter. I find enjoyment and professional fulfillment in tackling projects that involve, for example, doing research and analysis on an emerging technology, writing for information industry publications, and designing and delivering customized training on information management techniques to a corporate client. Usually I'm juggling several types of projects simultaneously, but at other times I have the luxury of devoting my time to just one or two projects for short, consecutive periods of time. Sometimes I even manage this "leisure" without worrying about when the next assignment will come!
Some of these enterprises have already grown large enough to employ and pay salaries and benefits to several people and to make significant contributions within the total information arena. Some have grown attractive enough to merge with or be sold to major players within the information industry. More will achieve this growth over the next few years.
An early and lasting variation within AIIP is the one between members who have a background in the library/information environment and those whose experience is in other disciplines, professions or businesses and whose interests and abilities have subsequently pulled them in the direction of information-related endeavors. Although the majority of members do share the culture of the library/information profession, some are newcomers to it.
From its founding days, AIIP has focused attention on discussions of ethics. AIIP members accept a code of ethical business practice that addresses issues involved in providing research services in what has come to be traditionally called the "information brokerage" context. The code can be useful in bridging the cultural gaps that are inevitable when individuals come from varied experiences by providing common expectations of behavior. (See accompanying box.)
As more independent information professionals develop multiple client and product bases, however, their interactions and influence extend beyond the information brokerage realm. I have found the ASIS Professional Guidelines most helpful when called upon to balance the several clients and involved relationships that co-exist in my own business and profession. To quote, "ASIS recognizes the plurality of uses and users of information technologies, services, systems and products, as well as the diversity of goals or objectives, sometimes conflicting, among producers, vendors, mediators and users of information systems. . . . ASIS members have obligations to employers, clients, system users, to the profession and to society. . . ."
These Guidelines acknowledge the varying constituencies that information professionals have, even when employed by a single institution.
ASIS members who have acknowledged the multiplicity of roles they play are uniquely qualified to understand the environment in which independent information professionals work. They know that just because an independent information professional operates in a business environment, it does not mean that the individual's commitment to the information professions is any less. Indeed, as libraries and information companies move beyond walls, reassess their missions and customers, and acknowledge and deal with new economic realities, they are experiencing many of the same situations that independents have already encountered.
They bear the following responsibilities:

ViEmu on my VS2010 defaults to visual mode as soon as I go to Insert. How do I turn that off?
I don't understand the issue - does it mean that when you press 'i' it goes into visual mode? I haven't seen this. Can you please explain better? Also, please check with the latest version, which fixes a few issues.
No, when I first click in any file, it is in Visual mode. This wasnt the case for me in vs2008
To help us look into this - can you describe in detail the sequence of steps to reproduce this? Do you open a file with File|Open, or for the solution explorer, do you have any previous files open or not, etc...? All this will be very helpful (as I can't repro it myself in a general case). Maybe you have some other 3rd party add-in installed? Let us also know, as it could easily be the cause.
This happens to me too. It seems random, I just tried switching around the open documents, sometimes it switches to visual mode, but I can't reproduce it consistently. And if I escape to Normal mode, sometimes the is still shows the pipe cursor, instead of the block cursor.
Also, is it possible to have the Visual Mode cursor in different color than the Insert Mode cursor? Due to the problem mentioned above, I frequently find myself starting to type thinking it was Insert Mode and inadvertently entering visual mode commands, and ended up lowercasing whole documents or worse.
I think my thread is related to this. I have an example that will produce this behavior:
Kingkaeru, thanks, we're looking into these points.

Cisco UCS Business Advantage Delivered: Radically Simplified Data Center Management
In my last blog I focused on the architectural differences between traditional blade servers and Cisco UCS. Although I touched on the issue of management complexity, let's take a closer look into how operational costs are affected by the cost of provisioning, monitoring, and managing your infrastructure.
According to many industry studies, roughly 70% of current IT budgets are allocated to maintenance activities with only 30% allocated to innovation. This spending imbalance comes from the fact that maintaining infrastructure is hard. Much of the difficulties are caused by the "accidental architecture" of management systems that have been put in place as an afterthought. For example, a traditional blade server chassis with 16 blades can have anywhere from 13 to 20 management interfaces!
Then you want to add virtualization on top of this environment? It is no wonder IT departments are struggling to meet cost objectives and run day-to-day operations smoothly!
Cisco UCS Manager : Unified, Model-based Management
Cisco Unified Computing System radically simplifies managing the entire system (compute, network, and storage access) with unified, model-based management. This management is part of the DNA of Cisco UCS. Gone are the days of using spreadsheets to track inventory and log changes. The Cisco UCS system, with one point of management spanning both Cisco UCS blade and rack servers, is self-aware and self-integrating, automatically discovering and inventorying components.
As one administrator put it:
"It took just an hour to deploy the first 112-server Cisco UCS with NetApp storage and VMware vSphere. Alternative solutions would have required physically touching and configuring each blade, which would have taken one person at least 1 or 2 weeks. We saved 6 to 12 weeks for the first six pods alone. When we migrated the first 120 servers to the Cisco UCS, 168 management points were consolidated to just 2, the pair of Cisco UCS 6100 [Series] Fabric Interconnects." For additional details please check the Storage Manufacturer Builds Highly Scalable Testing Cloud Customer case study.
A savings of 6 to 12 weeks to deploy infrastructure! Just imagine what your organization could do with an extra 6 or 12 weeks of time and costs savings! To find out more about how Cisco UCS unified model-based management can improve your cost structure, please see the paper Cisco UCS Business Advantage Delivered: Data Center Management

WOW what an amazing piece of history to have lost ;'( and an incredible use of technology .. .. ..ReplyDelete
That is incredibly fantastic!ReplyDelete
To bring back to 'life' that which has been long gone and give a really good impression of how it looked...you never know, the "I don't care"s might finally jump the fence and start fighting to protect what we've got left :)
The vertical photo locating the house in today's setting was particularly interesting to me as I sometimes walk the dog in that section of the park. Will certainly visit with added interest next time.ReplyDelete
whoahh that is amazing! Mannn it is huge isn't it - how imposing it must have been. Seems everything he did was big.ReplyDelete
Just last week i was working with the personal medical chest of JLC ... jars of goodness knows what - have to be careful handling that. In the bottom drawer are the most cool splints for broken bones. It's in Sharland's apothecary shop in Auckland 1866 street - but currently the lid is down on it. Pretty impressive i must say all the same due to its size!
Seriously, Sandy -- you have a heck of a cool job!ReplyDelete
Amazing, I find this sort of digital archaeology stuff very exciting...ReplyDelete
For some reason this park is named after Dove Myer Robinson and you will find many plaques, monuments etc dedicated to various other people, but surprisingly not a mention of John Logan Campbell or Kilbryde ever having been there.ReplyDelete
The plaque marking the renaming dates from 20 April 1981, so it's still relatively recent in terms of the park's long history. I think there should be something for Sir John as well -- perhaps naming one of the paths Kilbryde Way or something ...ReplyDelete
Thanks re comment Spansycools. The job has its moments LOL :) I love the old stuff ;)ReplyDelete
Cheers ears
Sandy, I assume you work at the Auckland Museum? When I was a kid our favourite thing in the museum was the 1866 street (centennial street as I remember). I think that's where I got my fascination with all this stuff.ReplyDelete
Indeed David i do :)ReplyDelete
The street is very cool isn't it! I've only been in Auckland for just on 4 years so i grew up with Christchurch Street in Canterbury museum instead, however no matter what museum, i think this type of gallery is perennially popular!
Let's hope it has the same effect on todays younger generations ... museums are fantastic places! Have you visited it lately David?
I am amazed at what you have done to recreate where Kilbryde was situated as I have driven past many times and wondered where exactly it was. It saddens me to think that a house of such grand proportions was demolished after only 40 years. To think that Logan Campbell GAVE Auckland Cornwall Park and that the Auckland Council back then did not see this house as worth saving for future generations. Thankfully now the Pah Homested has been restored for us to enjoy.ReplyDelete

Timmerman Named Dean at Monmouth
by Jim Amidon
June 29, 2010
After 17 years as a professor and administrator at Wabash, David Timmerman is leaving the College to become the Dean of the Faculty at Monmouth College. Timmerman served Wabash as professor of rhetoric, chair of the rhetoric department, and chair of the division on humanities and fine arts during his Wabash tenure. He was also a vibrant advocate for Wabash's successful Moot Court Competition.
"As Rhetoric Department and Division II Chair, David has led with imagination, care for his colleagues, a steadfast commitment to the liberal arts, and a determination to call out the best from the entire College — students, faculty, and administration," said Wabash President Patrick White. "In his new role, David's leadership will make an important contribution to the excellence of Monmouth College."
A scholar of the history of classical rhetoric, Timmerman has devoted much of his career to studying and promoting civil discourse as a key component of the liberal arts experience. He is the co-author of a new book,
Classical Greek Rhetorical Theory and the Disciplining of Discourse,
the co-editor (with his Wabash colleague Todd McDorman) of
Rhetoric and Democracy: Pedagogical and Political Practices
, and has been working with colleagues to reshape Wabash's basic public speaking course toward democratic participation and civic engagement.
"Striving to become a model of America's premier educational experience demands an engaged form of leadership," said Monmouth President Mauri Ditzler, who was Dean of the College at Wabash at the time Timmerman was granted tenure here. "As I reflect on my colleagues of the last three decades, I can think of no one better suited to be our chief academic officer than David Timmerman."
A native of Los Angeles, Timmerman earned his bachelor's degree in psychology from UCLA before earning master's degree in divinity from Denver Seminary. He spent seven years as a pastor in Littleton, Colorado. Timmerman left Colorado to pursue a Ph.D. in communication from Purdue University. He joined the Wabash faculty in 1994 and served nine years as chair of the Rhetoric Department. In 2005, he earned the McLain-McTurnan-Arnold Excellence in Teaching Award.
"David has been a stalwart of the faculty: an excellent teacher, accomplished scholar, and dedicated leader as Rhetoric Department chair and Division II chair," said Wabash's Dean of the College Gary Phillips. "He has brought to all aspects of his life at Wabash a readiness to engage, thoughtful listening, empathetic judgment, and aspiration to excellence that has made a difference to the learning experience of students and faculty alike. These are the talents that will serve David well in his new teaching role in helping the Monmouth faculty become a stronger, better liberal arts faculty."
Indeed, Timmerman looks forward to working with the Monmouth faculty.
"I am convinced from my interactions with faculty and President Ditzler that this is an exceptional moment of opportunity for the college in terms of the academic program," Timmerman said. "The combination of faculty desire, intention, and the opportunity to focus on the academic core of the institution—matched with the strength of the faculty that I observed—makes the dean's position very desirable. The Monmouth faculty is clearly a strong one: skilled, engaged, and deeply committed."
Timmerman has written dozens of articles for the journals
Rhetoric Society Quarterly
Philosophy and Rhetoric
, and the
Journal of Communication and Religion
, and has contributed chapters to several books.
"David's 17 years of Wabash leadership and teaching experience have prepared him well for this new challenge," added Dean Phillips. "I am excited for his excitement and deeply appreciative for all he has given to our community."
Timmerman and his wife, Polly, are the parents of two grown sons. Dr. Timmerman will begin his responsibilities July 15.
Founded in 1853, Monmouth College is a private, four-year, nationally ranked liberal arts institution of 1,380 students in western Illinois. Its president, Mauri Ditzler, is a 1975 Wabash graduate who served for five years as the Dean of the College.

U.S. U-20 MNT vs. Haiti: Quote Sheet
Post-Game Quote Sheet: U.S. U-20 MNT vs. Haiti
Feb. 18, 2013
U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team head coach TAB RAMOS
On the match:
"It was a difficult match for us. We knew that Haiti had very good players. I think we did a good job in the first half, coming out strong and trying to put the game away. I felt that once we didn't get that third goal before halftime that there was a good chance that if [Haiti] got a goal that somehow it would turn into a game, and it did."
On Daniel Cuevas' performance:
"We really believe in Danny Cuevas. He did a great job today. Obviously I think he was our most important player on the field. He's one of those players who has been with us from the beginning of the cycle, so he's really learned what we need from him. He did a good job. He was a little bull up front. He created opportunities for himself, for his teammates, he created the penalty kick, and he's one of those players who's tremendously important for us."
On holding off Haiti:
"Right after they scored their goal, there was about a 10-minute period where we really struggled to get the ball out of the back. I think once we made a couple of substitutions the game changed a little bit. I was a little bit disappointed that we weren't able to get that third goal late in the first half or early in the second half."
U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team defender SHANE O'NEILL
On getting three points in the opener:
"It was a huge win for us. We had to grind it out at the end. We knew that Haiti was going to be a tough opponent if we let them hang around like we did. Obviously it got tough in the second half. We had to resort to getting the ball out and defend for our lives. It was good to get the three points. It's huge because now if they lose to Costa Rica we've already got the crossover game spot, so it was a huge win for us."
On whether there were first-game jitters:
"I think in the second half everyone was going 100 mph. We needed to settle it down a little bit. It was one of those games where the crowd was kind of against us. Once we got the second goal, everybody was pumped on our side. We definitely got a little jittery in the second half, but it was good that we came out with the win."
On defending Haiti's speed and counterattack:
"I thought we did a pretty good job, especially in the first half. We caught them offside quite a few times. We were playing well. In the second half, we got a little flustered and a little unorganized. They scored one goal and we kept it tight once they scored that one goal, and it was good that we didn't let them tie the game."
U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team midfielder WIL TRAPP
On the game:
"It was a tough game. We knew that they were going to be intense and come at us and try to play. The most important thing is that we got the win and we're moving on to the next game. This one's behind us."
On what the time can improve on moving forward:
"We can try to keep the ball a little more. We got a little impatient, but that will come with the next game. I think we're going to do fine."
U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team forward DANIEL CUEVAS
On the impact he had offensively in the opener:
"I was really happy with what I accomplished in this game. The environment motivated me. The crowd was booing us. I just wanted to play well, and luckily things worked the way we wanted them to. I got the goal, we got the PK and we scored, and we got the win."
On his game-winning goal:
"I was wide open down the side on the back post. The defender ran in to cover the center so I had a lot of time. I got to control it and looked at where I wanted to shoot, too."

Xbox and Xbox Live product manager Aaron Greenberg admitted in a recent interview that Microsoft should have explained XBLA's delisting process a little better.
Greenberg told MTV Multiplayer's Patrick Klepek:
"The reality is we're not removing any games from the service, if you will. They'll always be there for purchase. Think about a book on Amazon. It's not always going to be featured on the front page of the store."
You can re-download titles you once owned, if you delete them, or you can buy them if a friend recommends them to you, Greenberg clarified, even if you can no longer purchase them via storefront browsing.
Still, is the state of XBLA like an episode of "Survivor"? Greenberg told Multiplayer:
"We're sort of cleaning our shelves as a retailer," he explained. "Even though we are in this digital age, the pros of cleaning the shelves outweighed the cons of expanding the shelf. "
He later added:
"I think if we would have just taken some of these very low performing games randomly off the service, nobody would have said much about it," he laughed. "But now we've created this 'Xbox Live Arcade Death Watch,' about who will make the cut. It's almost like a reality show about who's going to get voted off the island."
Of course, if Microsoft had started quietly nicking games off of the service without letting people know, someone surely would have caught on, and that wouldn't have gone over well either.
What's your pick for the title that should get culled first?

Congratulations to lastnightsdinner whose Short Rib Chili won this week's contest for Your Best Chili!
1. Describe an early food experience that has influenced the way you think about food and/or cooking.
I've spoken a lot here about my grandmother's kitchen, and how her food and cooking have done so much to shape who I am as a cook, and that legacy of feeding others, of sharing meals with family, friends, and loved ones, is on my mind more than ever now that I'm a mom. My husband and I want our little guy to grow up knowing where and how things grow, to meet chickens and pigs and cows and sheep, to be accustomed to living in a home in which canning jars line the shelves, full of delicious things we've grown, picked, or put up ourselves.
We want to share all sorts of food experiences with him, whether it involves meals we've cooked at home, or just sitting with him while we share one perfect cheese, a tin of great sardines with Triscuits and mustard, a juicy ripe peach, cold briny oysters, or a hot dog in the park. Cooking at home, feeding yourself, feeding others, has so much value beyond just nourishing your body. It provides comfort and sustenance on so many levels, and I hope that we can teach this to our son, the way that our families taught us.
2. What's your least favorite food?
I can't say I actively dislike any food – I'll try anything at least once! I try to keep an open mind, even with ingredients I don't love, like winter squash and sweet potatoes. Oranges and grapefruits make me break out in a rash, though, so I avoid them.
3. What is the best thing you've made so far this year?
As a new parent, my time in the kitchen has been quite limited this year. I've relied heavily on old standards that are easy and relatively quick to make, but I'm slowly getting my creative groove back. I recently picked up a gorgeous pork skirt steak, a new-to-me cut, from our butcher, and made a really wonderful meal with it. I seared the meat, sliced it thin, and served it with farro, baby napa cabbage, an anchovy-herb sauce, and an olive oil fried egg. The meal was inspired by several things – steak and eggs, Caesar salad – and it turned out surprisingly well. My husband actually wants me to make it again so I can get it in "recipe" form and post it here.
4. Describe your most spectacular kitchen disaster.
When I was dating my first long-term beau and just starting to get adventurous in the kitchen, I had a bright idea to make a big pot of duck and sausage gumbo for his parents, just like one we had when we vacationed with them in the Florida panhandle. It was a weeknight, and I started with a whole, very large, very frozen duck. I put it into a huge stockpot to cook, made my roux and prepped everything else I would need to assemble the gumbo after the duck meat and stock were ready. Several hours and glasses of wine later, that duck was still frozen solid. We ordered pizza.
5. What is your idea of comfort food?
Mashed potatoes, refried beans, grits or polenta – something creamy, spoonable, and better with a little cheese. And anything with a runny egg on top always satisfies.
6. Apron or no apron?
No apron. Live dangerously.
7. What's your favorite food-related scene in a movie?
A Lady, a Tramp, and a plate of spaghetti and meatballs -- it doesn't get much sweeter than that.
8. If you could make a show-stopping dinner for one person, living or dead, who would it be?
Right now I'm very much looking forward to my little guy's first bite of solid food.
9. You prefer to cook:
a. alone
b. with others
c. it depends on your mood
Typically I like to cook alone, but my husband and I have gotten very good over the last few months at tag-teaming in the kitchen to get a good meal in our bellies.
10. When it comes to tidying up, you usually:
a. clean as you cook.
b. do all the dishes once you've finished cooking.
c. leave the kitchen a shambles for your spouse/roommate/kids to
I clean as I cook. I can't stand dirty countertops, stacks of bowls in the sink or drips on the stove.

Demong Takes 2nd at Continental Cup
SOLDIER HOLLOW, UT (Dec. 18) – Olympic Champion Billy Demong (Vermontville, NY) finished second to Austria's Tomaz Druml on day two of the FIS Nordic Combined Continental Cup at Soldier Hollow. Demong jumped into seventh to start the cross country portion behind Druml and three of his Austrian teammates. Italian Lukas Runggaldier, who finished second on the opening day of competition, came from 19th to finish in third. Demong maintained his Continental Cup lead going into Thursday's finale.
- Olympic Champion Billy Demong finished second behind Austria's Tomaz Druml in the FIS Nordic Combined Continental Cup at Soldier Hollow and the Utah Olympic Park.
- Demong jumped into seventh place on the Olympic jumps to start the cross country portion.
- The cross country race was led primarily by a pack of Austrians, with Demong catching all but Druml during the final lap.
- It was a strong day for U.S. nordic combined, with Nick Hendrickson (Park City, UT) cracking the top 10 with a ninth place finish and Adam Loomis (Eau Claire, WI) finishing 14th after beginning the cross country portion in 31st.
- The FIS Nordic Combined Continental Cup series wraps up Thursday on the 2002 Olympic ski jumps at Utah Olympic Park and the cross country course at Soldier Hollow.
Billy Demong
Today was another good day with good weather. I had a reasonably good jump in seventh after jumping, so it's a good solid start after last year. I really thought I had a chance to win today. It's a really high level on the Continental Cup now, there's a lot of World Cup skiers like myself. I was just struggling to stay 10 seconds behind the lead group for a long time and finally was able to start catching them as we got closer to the finish line and managed to get second place. Actually crossing in second felt like a victory. It's really a tight level and good training for me and I'm also psyched to be home and able to compete with such a strong field in front of a good crowd. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
Tomaz Druml, Austria
I was 28 seconds behind the leader and knew there were many strong skiers around like Bill Demong and Lukas Runggaldier coming from the back. I knew I had to be strong on the last laps. I just tried to go my pace and go all the way. I didn't have to push all the way to win this race.
It helped a lot to ski with my teammates because you have the confidence that the other guys can help you if you're struggling. But today was a little bit different because I was the one leading the group – one guy helped me a bit. I just had to go my pace and sometimes it's easier to go with your race speed than to adapt to another speed. It helped me to keep Bill Demong and Lukas Runggaldier at a distance.
I've been here many times. Soldier Hollow is a great place to ski. The area for cross country tracks is just amazing. This course is a bit tough because they have some loops and turns in it.
It's amazing at the Utah Olympic Park – great hills and a perfect profile. I just really love it here and hope that we can come back here for many years. And I hope that maybe there can be a World Cup here.
Lukas Runggaldier, Italy
I caught Bill on the second lap and on the third lap I went in front of him because we had to make a faster tempo because the Austrian guys were closing behind us. On the fourth lap I tried to pull away but Bill was too strong. I tried two times to go but I was just too tired. Then on the last curve he went on the inside and I just couldn't go ahead without crashing. The last hundred meters he went ahead to win. I have two more races and we'll see what I can do against Bill.
Greg Poirier, Coach
Another great result for Bill. Really solid jumping again. Not his best jumping. Just a little timing issue and once he nails that down he should be leading these Continental Cup events after jumping. Solid race for him. He had to work really hard, skiing alone about 95% of the race today where the Austrian skiers were working in a group and really working as a team. But he hung tough. Also another great result today from Nick Hendrickson finishing 9th after starting 22nd and a really strong race from Adam Loomis skiing up from 31st up to 14th. Also the second day for another really strong result from junior Ben Berend.

REACH Given MetLife Foundation Award
Portland Housing Bureau offers a mighty congratulations to REACH for winning the competitive MetLife Foundation Award, demonstrating excellence in connecting seniors to health care and supportive services at Walnut Park.
Because of the incredible outcomes they achieve for the people who call Walnut Park home, we particularly want to highlight the connections REACH initiated, including partnerships with places like the Urban League, Meals on Wheels, the Oregon Food Bank, Northwest Pilot Project, Visiting Nurses Association and others, where residents can receive case management, on-site nursing care, classes on affordable food shopping and health cooking and much more.
Walnut Park is a great way for seniors and communities of color to stay in this changing inner Northeast neighborhood for a long time. The engagement with the rich cultural assets of this community ensures that low-income earning seniors have a place to live that includes public transit as well as the services and activities that this vibrant community provides.
Walnut Park is one of the Portland Housing Bureau's 11X13 Housing Preservation properties. That means that it nearly lost its affordability with the pending expiration of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) mortgage and rent assistance contract. In the campaign, a City investments of $22 million in development funds leveraged $110 million in private investments and more than $120 million in federal assistance over the next 20 years.
Together with our partners, particularly REACH, Portland Housing Bureau helped Walnut Park remain affordable for the next 60 years.
Gabriella Steele is one of the residents we featured as part of the 11X13 Housing Preservation campaign. She has lived at Walnut Park for 12 years. Gabriella told us that if her home had lost its affordability, she would have nowhere else to go. At Walnut Park, she can maintain her independence and continue doing the things that she loves—painting, cooking and gardening. Gabriella and her neighbors are the reason we do what we do at the Portland Housing Bureau and we're grateful for the strong partnerships of award-winning industry leaders like REACH.

Yeah, the Sabres were shutout last night, 3-0, in what can be best described as a vintage 90's clutch and grab performance. Usually, the refs wait until at least 10 games into the season before pocketing their whistles, but whatever: did you see that intro?
A new pipe organ. Giant Tesla coils suspended from the rafters. Are the Lightning trying to channel the Hockey Gods into their arena?
It took over nine minutes for Tampa's new intro to put every Led Zeppelin laser show to permanent shame. It was glorious… or was it overdone? You decide:
Well, we have Sabretooth rapelling from the rafters. That, and Terry Pegula, is enough intro for us. Unless Terry wants to pony up for a new pipe organ. And giant pyrotechnic dueling sabres. Nah. That really is too much.
But can we at least get a pipe organ?
Go Sabres.

Maintaining momentum: Europe sets bold initiatives to recapture moviegoers
This year, discussions at CinemaCon will more than ever focus on audiences, their increasingly diverse lifestyles and the many innovative opportunities that exist to attract and entertain cinemagoers, young and old. Such renewed consumer focus is perhaps welcome after the global technology frenzy that has fueled the dynamics of cinema conventions over the past decade.
UNIC—the International Union of Cinemas—represents exhibitors and their national associations in Europe, Russia and Turkey. That's 33 000 screens, accounting for box-office revenues of € 7.5 billion—around one-quarter of the global exhibition landscape. Across our territories, in 2013 cinemas experienced a moderate drop in both box-office income (3%) and admissions (2.2%) after very strong results in previous years. While markets in Central Europe, Turkey and Russia continued their strong upward trajectory, admissions in most mature Western territories have plateaued in recent years, with the economic downturn hitting hardest in Southern Europe.
That said, there are plenty of bold initiatives to recapture momentum and create excitement around European cinemagoing. In January, French colleagues launched an audacious—and hotly debated—youth initiative, significantly lowering ticket prices for under-14-year-olds. Across Europe, others are exploring new ways to make cinemagoing an ever more seamless, social, participative and playful experience. Social media, mobile apps, innovative partnerships with third-party brands, experiments with alternative content and a reassessment of what makes cinema the ultimate leisure destination all come into play here. Innovative cinema technology, naturally, will continue to play a major role. New developments in immersive sound are just one example of how technology contributes to providing audiences with an experience worlds apart from consuming content on a mobile device or in the home.
UNIC recognizes that the process of managing innovation and change across the entire film value chain has of necessity become more collaborative, interdisciplinary and experimental. The exhibition community has to collaborate and innovate across organizational and territorial boundaries if it wishes to continue to outperform emerging global online platforms.
UNIC's recent establishment of three international working groups—which we have called "UNIC Labs"—bringing together thought leaders and senior exhibition executives from member companies, is intended to be a small contribution to this challenge. Focusing on retail, marketing and technology, respectively, each aims to identify how exhibition can further upgrade the cinemagoing experience to the benefit of audiences. Together with our Partner Programme, which strengthens our networks with leading brands and suppliers operating in the cinema space, we aim to launch several real-time experiments that test new approaches to innovation in cinema. Should you be interested in working with us in this context, we would love to hear from you during CinemaCon.
Cinema exhibition and the wider film industry face significant political challenges across the European Union in the coming year. Promoting and defending exhibition's interests in this sphere is of course UNIC's raison d'etre, and takes up the bulk of our time and efforts. In Europe, we face some hopefully short-term uncertainty in this context. In May, around 375 million eligible voters will be asked to vote for a new European Parliament and—given current developments—the outcome is unclear. At the same time, the European Commission seems set to establish a copyright-reform process that could have an impact on how we do business and fight film theft. Continuous awareness-raising and advocacy in order to maintain conditions that allow cinema exhibition to thrive will be our major task in the coming year.
Finally, CineEurope—UNIC's annual convention and Europe's premier cinema convention, co-organized in collaboration with Prometheus Global Media—is just around the corner. From June 16-19 we will again celebrate the cinemagoing experience in the Barcelona Convention Centre (CCIB). You can expect an innovative, entertaining and cutting-edge convention filled with unparalleled screenings, a major trade show and an intelligent and diverse conference program. Why not plan a trip to Europe this summer?
But first things first: Enjoy CinemaCon! Our friends Mitch Neuhauser and John Fithian and their teams at CinemaCon and NATO have surely again prepared an outstanding event.
Thank you, Mitch and John.

Miners stay in contention for playoff berth.
Needing a win Sunday to keep itself in contention for a spot in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Tournament, the S&T men's soccer team got that by posting their first-ever win over Wisconsin-Parkside with a 2-0 victory at the S&T Soccer Field.
The win by the Miners, now 7-7-2 overall and 6-6-2 in the GLVC, moved the Miners into eighth place in the GLVC Tournament race with only one game to play, which for S&T will be Wednesday night against Drury. The Miners moved past UW-Parkside and Truman State, who lost 1-0 at Illinois Springfield Sunday, into the final playoff spot.
S&T got off to a strong start Sunday and broke on top in the 22nd minute of play when David Zdvorak redirected Kramer Hall's corner kick inside the far post. The Miners would add to that lead a little over five minutes later when Ben Bartnicke sent a ball to a wide open Ben Emnett on the right wing; Emnett would put a shot by UWP goalkeeper Marcos Perez to give S&T a two-goal lead.
From there, the Miner defense and goalkeeper Matt Jackson would take care of matters as S&T recorded its fifth shutout of the season. Jackson made seven saves in goal for the Miners, including a stop on a point blank shot by Elliott Schultz shortly after the Zdvorak goal.
The Miners outshot UW-Parkside 12-8 in the first half and 16-12 for the game, while the Rangers (7-7-2, 6-7-1 GLVC) had a 5-4 edge in corner kick opportunities.
Sunday's win by the Miners was their first in 13 tries against the Rangers, as S&T had previously suffered eight losses and played to four ties against them.
Missouri S&T's contest with Drury Wednesday will get underway at 8:30 p.m.
Lewis 1, S&T 0
A late goal by Robert Zieba allowed 20th-ranked Lewis to escape the Missouri S&T Soccer Field with a victory Friday night.
Zieba got a pass around the top of the box and put a shot into the upper right corner of the net past S&T goalkeeper Matt Jackson with just 5:42 remaining in regulation time to break the scoreless deadlock.
In a game where the Flyers held a 15-9 advantage in shots, the Miners were unable to get a good scoring chance after the Zieba goal. Lewis moved to 10-1-4 overall and 9-1-3 in the GLVC.
S&T had two shots on net in the contest, one a head ball by Joe Macke in the first half that Lewis goalkeeper Ryan Pickett knocked over the crossbar and the other on a long shot by Gilberto Robayo in the second half.
Jackson made five saves for the Miners.

Nursing Careers Beyond the Bedside
Cindy Mehallow | Monster Contributing Writer
When providing bedside care loses its luster, working in a nonclinical specialty can renew your love for nursing and draw on your clinical experience. The following positions exist at most health care institutions and are well-suited to experienced nurses.
Case Managers
Case managers choreograph all aspects of patient care, coordinating the nurses, doctors, therapists and other practitioners who treat patients. As hospitals discharge patients more quickly and managed-care organizations increasingly oversee patient care, the need for case managers has blossomed. The aging population is generating more opportunities in long-term care and home health care as well.
"The demand for nurse case managers is tremendous," says Margaret Leonard, MS, RN,C, FNP, a certified case manager and board member of the Case Management Society of America. She notes that some employers are becoming more discriminating, looking for nurses who have both strong clinical experience and certification in case management.
What's Your Health Care IQ?
The two primary certifying bodies are the American Nurses Credentialing Center and the Commission for Case Manager Certification. Other certifications are available through specialty associations, says Leonard, vice president for clinical services for Hudson Health Plan in Tarrytown, New York.
Since they're expected to achieve the shortest possible patient stay with the highest possible outcome, case managers must be proactive and able to evoke change. These professionals should be patient, extremely diplomatic and politically astute.
Patient/Staff Educators
Clinical nurse educators help patients and their families understand the patient's condition prior to discharge, and they work in such outpatient areas as cardiac rehabilitation, diabetes education or childbirth preparation. Besides orienting and supervising new nurses, clinical nurse educators conduct in-service training for staff nurses.
Most clinical nurse educators possess at least a BSN as well as advanced clinical training in a specialty.
While they must be patient and able to write education plans, nurse educators must enjoy teaching and, above all, have a passion for their profession. "That passion comes through when you teach," says Diane Goodman, BSN, RN, a clinical nurse educator for Lake Forest Hospital near Chicago. "Your students pick up on it and become passionate, too."
