Black Ice Theatre Co. & No Nude Men present in association with the Exit Theatre the traveling production of… N E V E R T H E S I N N E R by John Logan Based on a real event which shocked America in 1924\, t he play tells how two privileged young men Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb murdered a 14-year-old boy for no other reason than to prove they were su perior beings above the law. They were not. Arrested\, they came to trial in Chicago\, charged with murder. As their trial unfolds\, it becomes the setting for an argument over the death penalty. The State wants the two yo ung men hanged. Defending them is the renowned lawyer Clarence Darrow. Cal ling on the judge to take account of the two mens mental state\, he argues that hanging them would be a crime itself: that it is reasonable to hate the sin\, but never the sinner. This truly gripping account of the histori c trial suggests that\, given twists of fate and character\, Leopold or Lo eb could be anyone who has loved too much\, had a broken heart\, wanted to prove everlasting devotion\, or looked at a loved one and thought\, I'd d ie for you\, I'd kill for you. This is a love story set to themes of crime and punishment\, the press\, the times\, humanism\, Nietzsche's philosoph y\, and the end of the jazz age.

SAMUELSON: It's time to do away with debt ceiling
WASHINGTON — By now, it must be obvious to almost everyone that the federal debt ceiling has outlived whatever usefulness it once had. It does not discipline government spending in any predictable way. On the contrary, it creates artificial crises with possibly calamitous economic consequences and — just as bad — discredits both political parties. Confidence suffers while the supposedly most powerful nation on earth debates whether to pay all its bills. It's time to end the debt ceiling.
We are now facing one of those manufactured crises. The debt ceiling is $18.1 trillion. Since the spring, the Treasury has taken "extraordinary measures" to avoid violating it. But Treasury Secretary Jack Lew says that by Nov. 3 the government's cash balances may drop below $30 billion. Meanwhile, daily payments can run as high as $60 billion. Unless the debt ceiling is raised, allowing the government to borrow again, some routine payments — for debt service, Social Security, defense contracts, who knows? — would be missed. What would happen after that is anyone's guess.
The fact that the debt ceiling and the selection of a new House speaker are entangled makes the outcome harder to predict. But the underlying political impasse is clear. Many House Republicans want to use an increase in the debt ceiling as a legislative lever to get the Obama administration to accept spending cuts. The White House has refused and insists on a "clean" bill increasing the debt ceiling.
Originally, the debt ceiling simplified a byzantine process. A Congressional Research Service report summarizes the history:
"Before 1917 Congress typically controlled individual issues of debt. In September 1917, while raising funds for the United States' entry into World War I, Congress also imposed an aggregate limit on federal debt in addition to individual issuance limits. Over time, Congress granted Treasury Secretaries more leeway in debt management. In 1939, Congress agreed to impose an aggregate limit that gave the U.S. Treasury authority to manage [the] federal debt."
The real issue now is the size of government — a subject deserving an honest debate. Both parties have sidestepped it, because an honest debate would require both to admit unpleasant realities.
Take Republicans first.
They'd have to concede that, even with deep spending cuts, Big Government would remain. Consider a proposed budget by the Republican Study Committee, a conservative House caucus. From 2016 to 2025, it would reduce federal spending by $7 trillion. Obamacare would be repealed. By 2025, defense spending as a share of the economy (gross domestic product) would drop to its lowest point since 1940. "Discretionary" domestic spending would fall almost 50 percent (again, as a share of GDP) from 2000 levels, squeezing many federal activities: parks, courts, research, transportation, homeland security (including border control), the FBI, regulatory activities, the Centers for Disease Control.
But after all this slashing, government spending would remain at 18 percent of GDP, not much lower than the 20 percent average from 1965 to 2014. Taxes would also be 18 percent of GDP, slightly higher than their 1965-2014 average of 17 percent. The reason that government doesn't shrink much is simple: Rising spending on retirees and health care offsets the reductions.
Now, Democrats.
They'd have to acknowledge that their policies imply much higher taxes, deficits or both. Their spending on retirees and health care would certainly be no less than the Republicans'. Plus other spending would be higher. Plus the costs of all those campaign promises (free college, more preschool). To balance the budget would require tax increases between 20 percent and 25 percent — probably too great to be paid only by the superrich. Doing nothing would mean increasingly large deficits.
The fight over the debt ceiling is a proxy for this larger collision over government spending. Republicans (or some of them) want to engage; Democrats (or some of them) do not. Both are playing chicken, hoping that the other will be blamed if there's a default.
Although Republican frustration is understandable, triggering a default would be reckless and destructive. The possible consequences would be perilous. The conventional channels through which a default might harm the economy are familiar. Consumer and business confidence might suffer, lowering spending; interest rates might increase, hurting investment and adding to the federal debt.
But the real damage would lie elsewhere. America's global reputation would suffer. The role of U.S. Treasury securities as the world's safest financial instruments would be thrown into doubt, with what effects no one knows. The economic climate might become more cautious and risk-averse, because a U.S. default, even if brief, would qualify as yet another event — like the financial crisis — that was thought impossible. Indeed, another financial panic can't be precluded.
We have enough real problems; we don't need to make new ones. Default should not be an option.

Leeds Beckett University - City Campus,
Woodhouse Lane,
Archive and Special Collections
In recent weeks I have had several enquiries about images we hold in our archive collections.
The requests are invariably for photographs taken at various times and locations throughout the timeline of the University and its predecessors. The initial attraction and impact of the historical photographic image is the notion of being able to 'transport' the viewer to a past time and this is almost always followed by making some comparison to the present. But as Eric Ketelaar has written 'A photograph is not just a recording: it constitutes the event.' So the question I am asking myself is; is the photograph no longer just a cipher but is the very thing that it set out to record. It is here in the present, the past no longer exists; this image survives only in the residue of emulsions and light sensitive paper or more commonly now code and pixels.

Merge Fields in Lightning | Predictive Response
Merge Fields in Lightning
Lead, contact, and campaign member fields can become merge fields in your campaign, allowing you to use them in your campaign emails.
- Some standard fields are already available, such as 'Salutation,' 'First Name' and 'Last Name'.
- You can also use custom created lead, contact, and campaign member fields as merge fields.
- You can add up to 20 custom fields for use in your email editions.
- These custom fields will need to be mapped prior to being used as a merge field in a campaign email.
Map Custom Merge Fields:
In order to use your custom lead and contact fields, you will need to map them prior to being able to use them as a merge field in a campaign email. Once your fields are mapped, they will appear in the text toolbar in your email template.
Watch the video to see how to map custom merge fields:
When mapping campaign member fields, they will appear within the lead or contact drop-downs with the label 'CampaignMember:'
Important to note when mapping custom fields:
Mapping is not retroactive
- The data in your custom field will only display in your email if it was mapped prior to adding leads/contacts to your campaign. If the mapping process was completed after the leads/contacts are added, you will have to synchronize the campaign.
Merge field data will not display real time changes in your email
- If the data in the merge field is modified after the lead/contact is added to the campaign, you will have to synchronize the campaign for the changes to be reflected in the email.
Field removal from Salesforce
- If the merge field is removed from Salesforce, you need to update impacted emails as this will cause issues with emails being sent.
Field not showing in the custom dropdown
- The only custom field types that are supported are those created for Leads and Contacts. If you are looking for a field that is part of the Account or Opportunity pages in Salesforce (or other unsupported location) they will not be in the list.
Make sure the campaign has been synchronized after the fields have been mapped.

Swedish Lapland: Hunting for the Northern Lights
Swedish Lapland: Hunting for the Northern Lights
The trip in a nutshell
Self-driven tour
This is a self-driven tour. We love a road trip us, and not just for the throwback playlists, but because it gives you the freedom to truly explore a destination. If you feel willing and comfortable to drive, let us know when booking. I'm sure that as a thanks, your non-driving travel buddies will keep you well-fed with snacks!
We start our adventure in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Why is our arrival point so far from Lapland? Well, Stockholm is much easier to get to from the UK and this way we get to experience a beautiful night train (a unique experience in itself) that allows us to travel through the country without losing time! We will wake up directly in Kiruna, the country's northernmost town, in the heart of Lapland. Our objective: admire and photograph the stupendous Northern Lights! The conditions here are perfect. We are beyond the Arctic Circle and the light pollution present in the big cities we live in is not a problem here. In winter here there are almost 24 hours of complete darkness! There will be no getting bored though, because here we can try out dog sledding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and/or just relax in a sauna. Pack something warm and get ready to go!
Tour mood
The trip is all about the exploration of Swedish Lapland. You will spend one night on a night train and will have a couple of short car transfers but once you arrive in Kiruna things are more relaxed as you will stay in the same accommodation.
Physical effort
You will need to be equipped for the cold winter temperatures but you won't be doing anything that is very physically taxing.
Is Sweden open for travel?
Yes, you can visit Sweden if you are fully vaccinated. If you are not fully vaccinated, you'll need to show proof that you are exempt from Sweden's current entry ban under another exemption. For comprehensive requirements check the UK GOV website!
What's included
6 nights: accommodation in multiple rooms for the exclusive use of WeRoad participants
Welcome dinner day 1
Car rental
Dog sledding in Kiruna day 3
Farewell dinner day 6
Travel Coordinator services
Overnight sleeper train days 2&6
The travel coordinators
Our travel coordinators are chosen because they are people like you. Not only are they the best travel buddy you could hope for, but they're trained professionals guaranteed to show you a travel experience like never before
Info to know
You'll travel with a WeRoad Coordinator, which is more or less the best travel buddy you could wish for.
Visas and Vaccinations
Before booking, please ensure you check what documents, visas, and vaccinations are required to enter the country you are visiting. If you have any questions, please contact us.

This is a day where there is not only a need to take the good with the bad but where the so called bad is equally empowering. A supercharged alliance between Mars on the job and Pluto on the career front brings the planets of war and revolution together, just as Saturn has turned the professional lights green. This is a major turning point in this professional year and the start of a shift that is now unstoppable. Yet an opposition between Venus and Chiron might create some personal and/or relationship tension, with the planets of love and healing on a mission to exorcise some old ghosts.
We're all aware of the saying about being innocent until proven guilty. Regardless of how a situation appears, we can't make a final assessment or draw a conclusion until we're 100% certain every available fact has been incorporated into a decision. In the absence of essential information, you could risk drawing a premature conclusion now. Don't be too quick to base a decision on what appears at face value. You could think very differently shortly.

Astrology of Aries for today September 18th 2019
You have the power to rectify a dying situation and turn it into a complete success story. Do not refuse to consider recent suggestions without answering because of your complete dependency on emotion. Try not to get impatient now as it will surely hurt you. Avoid communicating with strangers to avert disappointment. Consider what's better – whether to go to a party or be alone for a while. Soon ahead, new horizons will be revealed, through which you'll receive high praise and respect. If you are preparing to travel, protect yourself from thieves and unfair people who want to get you involved in a joint venture. You reap successes in your finances. Only allow people who you can rely on to be close to your plans. Be prepared for difficulties that are easy to deal with if you keep calm and show firmness in your mind.
A time is coming when you'll enjoy staying at home and having intimate conversations with your beloved and experiencing moments of deep, emotional connection. The celestial influences at play will help you focus your attention on your feelings. Family quarrels should not worry you, because sometimes a moment of difficulty, people say things they do not mean. Search for the right decisions with composure during this difficult period. Your credulity and susceptibility to influence can be a reason to relinquish your principles and fail what is planned. Some special events could be on the horizon, and will have a more profound effect on your life than you can currently appreciate. Your insight will constantly surprise people in your environment, even though you have proved to be an excellent analysts. The stars suggest an outing to one of your favorite beauty spots. Chaos and inefficiency are two situations that you need to try and avoid at all costs.
You may be surprised by workplace mistakes, and if it's your job to fix them, do not get angry, and rather solve the problems quickly. You are tense and nervous. Try not fail because of the fact that you're not initiative and insistent enough, and the you don't stabilize what you have achieved. Be even-tempered or you will have to deal with troubleshooting problems which can be very time-consuming. A little analysis brings fascinating insights. Do not boast of your earnings. Changes are useful if they are not surprising and you are prepared for them. Don't travel. There's a possibility that a patron will appear to help you accomplish your plans. Be patient!

Clean Corian® Stains – Fill With Water & Add Stain Solver – DONE!
John Faulkner reached out and asked:
"Will Stain Solver work to clean the stain in my daughter's Corian® sink?"
How Do I Clean Corian Stains?
Fill the sink with hot water. Add one cup of Stain Solver powder and let sit overnight.
Emily did a test on the smaller sink to the right before tackling the larger sink. Because the small sink has less volume, 1/2 cup of Stain Solver was plenty.
Stain Solver will also clean:
- porcelain sinks
- tile sinks
- cast iron sinks
- stainless steel sinks
Do I Have to Scrub?
No. Allow the Stain Solver to work on its own for at least six hours. Remember, you'll get the BEST results filling the sink with hot water.

The view from this flat in Nottingham's exclusive Park Estate is a delight and it can be yours for around £130,000 according to selling agents, Frank Innes in Nottingham.
The top floor studio apartment in Cedar Lodge has access to communal gardens and underground parking too.
In fact, you'll also have all the benefits of living in this private gated estate, including the location's unique circuses (lovely green spaces around which the layout of the area has been designed), gas street lighting and there's the potential to join squash, tennis and bowls clubs within the estate.
And while the city is nearby - it's an easy walk from here into the centre of Nottingham - there's a quiet almost countryside atmosphere to the area.
You should also be aware, however, that as this is a private estate some sectors of the maintenance and upkeep of the roads and common areas are funded by Park residents through The Nottingham Park Estate Ltd, and as such annual fees are payable by each freeholder based on the number of habitable rooms within their home. The tenure of this property is yet to be advised.
So, just what will you get for your £130,000 or so?
For a start, the agent says that the interior of this city home is "presented nicely throughout". Accommodation includes an entrance hall and this leads to the main living and bedroom space, while there is also a door to the bathroom off the hall. The main living space provides an open-plan living/dining area and bedroom. There's a separate kitchen.
Take a look inside... click on the picture gallery below
Externally there is a shared communal garden area and secure underground parking.
The agent adds that this studio flat is "perfect for any first time buyer or for an investor looking for a buy to let".
And to get that view? Well, there is a south aspect facing balcony off the living area, which is the perfect spot from which to enjoy the surroundings.
The Park Estate is an area full of history.
In the shadow of Nottingham Castle, the land upon which it stands was once the castle's deer park and its development over the years has been thoughtfully designed and controlled so that today property styles range from buildings designed by esteemed 19th century architects right through to modern additions and all created on a planned layout the stems from two circuses - Newcastle Circus and Lincoln Circus.
Add to this the city location, which means you have great access to the array of facilities that Nottingham has to offer, and it is easy to see why The Park has been so popular.

Written originally as a sample essay for Media Studies, this review is a story and production element analysis of five key scenes.
M Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense (1999) is a carefully crafted return to the pure suspense style of horror film-making. A ghost story with some very modern twists, it uses an understated, quiet approach to build anticipation and dread in its audience. Throughout, Shyamalan's careful use of specific production techniques lends maximum impact to his own finely crafted story, wrenching out every fright for all they are worth.
From the opening scenes, Shyamalan's technique for manufacturing frights is made very clear. He paints with carefully chosen static shots, creating a sense of eerie anticipation. Dr Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) is celebrating with his wife, Anna, his winning of an award for services to psychiatry. The mood is warm, encouraged by golden firelight playing over the darkened gloom of their house, and the light use of sound effects keeps the viewer's focus on the dialogue. As the scene shifts towards the first moment of real tension – a former patient of Malcolm's, Vincent (Donnie Wahlberg), has broken in and is threatening violence – the lighting becomes much colder and harsher, and Shyamalan's camera breaks loose, the handheld cinematography sustained through to the scene's violent conclusion. Music, too, plays a part in this sequence, introducing itself at a moment of revelation as it will in scenes throughout the film. Malcolm, introduced as a caring practitioner in a loving marriage, is shot by this troubled youth, the act tarnishing his belief in himself as a flawless psychiatrist and putting the first splinter into his hitherto harmonious relationship with Anna.
Crowe's latest charge, nine-year-old Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), is the distant child of a single mother (Toni Collette) who has so abandoned the notion of fitting in that he pays a fellow student to pretend, for his mother's sake, to be his friend. Questioned in the classroom, Cole clashes with his teacher over the nature of the school buildings in centuries past, hinting at a secret knowledge that Cole possesses. He is bookish, almost nerdy, and the scene makes it clear that he does not enjoy confrontations. Cole tends to whisper his dialogue, and a later revelation suggests there are spirits he may not wish to disturb. He is an outcast, but it is only because of his initial problem that such confrontations as this one arise. The scene is played from his point of view, with shots of Cole and his classmates at a level angle while his teacher, standing, is viewed from a low angle. We are on his side, and the teacher appears threatening as he looms over Cole. Emphasised sound effects remind us that the music, when it comes, will be worth listening out for. It is when Cole finally explodes, breaking out of the protection of his shyness, that the score adds to the weight of the tension at that moment.
Cole's secret is finally revealed in a moment that brings him and Malcolm much closer together. It is an important moment of revelation for both characters, a fact supported visually when a POV shot emphasises Malcolm moving physically closer to Cole. Singles become two-shots, and wider angles turn to close-ups and even extreme close-ups as more is revealed about the pair. Malcolm feels guilty about his failure with Vincent and the deterioration of his marriage, looking to Cole for a second chance. Cole reveals that he sees the ghosts of the dead, clarifying the mysterious problem that has been at the heart of his social dysfunction. The score again only intrudes on this quiet moment when Cole's supernatural revelation is heard, its rising intensity making it absolutely clear that this is a pivotal story point. Lighting is subdued in this scene, much darker than in the classroom confrontation, with a soft key light putting Cole at its visual heart.
With a new openness existing between Cole and Malcolm, they comfortably support each other at the funeral of a girl, Kyra (Mischa Barton), whose ghost has called on Cole for help. That assistance comes when Cole discovers an ornate box in her bedroom, an important element of its contents prefigured by dimly lit, spooky shots of Cole's search as viewed through shadowy marionettes dangling in the foreground. The videotape within reveals a tale of treachery and murder to Kyra's father, the flickering of the image on close-ups of his face granting him one last link with his daughter. Music is used more diversely in this scene, adding to the shock value of an early fright as well as underscoring the father's grief as he watches the video. Though the scene represents a chance for Cole to find a positive benefit to his supernatural ability, it also eases part of Malcolm's burden: he sees the results of a successful outcome with this patient.
Cole's obstacle as a character – dealing with his ability – is resolved fully when he is able to let his mother into his confidence. Malcolm's comes only with one last surprise: that Vincent's gunshot in fact killed him, and he is one of Cole's ghosts. The reason for his deteriorating marriage becomes apparent, and he moves towards closure with this new knowledge in hand. Emphasis is placed on the state of his and Anna's marriage. Their wedding video plays throughout, heard even when it is not seen. As his wedding ring falls from her hand and under the chair, the sound effect of its roll builds anticipation towards a close-up of it sitting on the floorboards. A close-up of Malcolm's hand reveals the finger it used to be on. Closure comes from a communication of sorts between them; a close-up (with accentuated sound effect) of Anna's icy breath as she sleeps tells us she will hear his words. A close-up of Anna's smile as she tells Malcolm she loves him completes the moment. The image finally flashes to white, signalling the end of Malcolm's purgatory.
Shyamalan has, in The Sixth Sense, constructed a tense and effective ghost story that, because of its twists, rewards repeated viewing. It is clear that the filmmakers have put careful thought into every aspect of the production, getting the most out of the intriguing storyline and maintaining an appropriately spooky mood throughout. Though the final revelation is too laboured and Osment's endless whispering becomes annoying, Shyamalan and his team make much out of the minimalist style they have applied.

A firm believer that "the quality of architecture could impact the quality of life", Ain Shams University Architecture Professor and founder of architectural consultancy firm Cube Consultants Ashraf Abdel Mohsen works from a brightly-lit office, featuring his oil paintings of discrete landscapes. Invest-Gate speaks with the soft-spoken, humble man, who smiles warmly as he explains his vision on changing Egyptians' lifestyle through his designs.
Cube Consultants is one of the five member companies forming the 5+UDC consortium appointed by the Egyptian government to design and plan the new Administrative Capital megaproject, but their impressive portfolio includes numerous developments in Cairo, Luxor, Sharm El Sheikh, Gulf countries, among other international locations and Egyptian embassies abroad.
In 2005, Abdel Mohsen began working on proposals to resolve Cairo's urban issues. "I thought to myself, the city is in such an intolerable state…how could we be teaching students about sustainability, quality of life … when we live in a city that is left the way it is? How can Downtown Cairo become what it once was? How can the city's major squares return to their former beauty?" he wonders.
At the time, he had not yet pitched his ideas to the government, but was merely creating progressive redesigns of the city out of personal interest. The General Organization for Physical Planning (GOPP) eventually heard of the man making a hobby out of redesigning Cairo's urban planning and hired Abdel Mohsen to create a redevelopment plan for Giza's Remaya Square. However, Abdel Mohsen went back to them with a redevelopment plan for all of the Giza city, encompassing his envisioned Khufu Avenue running from Dokki all the way to the pyramids.
The GOPP was so impressed by Abdel Mohsen's passion for revamping the Giza urban planning that they scheduled a meeting between him and then-Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif and five other ministers to arrange further discussion. According to Abdel Mohsen, Nazif was impressed, particularly with the inspiration from Egyptian heritage, and spent over ninety minutes asking follow-up questions. From there, the Cairo 2050 Vision came into being, aiming to develop the city into one more green, global, and connected, according to the Cube Consultants website. The project will reportedly expand Cairo by 10,000 feddans.
"The people of Cairo and Giza should be the richest [given the assets at hand]…the Luxor Obelisk in Paris is quite something…why do not we have something similar in one of our major squares?" he questions.
Abdel Mohsen notes, "Our vision was to wipe off the dust from forgotten riches…and use that to generate revenue for building new metro lines, parks, and sports clubs — building an entirely different lifestyle from scratch." He adds that Cairo was one of the most beautiful cities in the word in the 1930s, and that the plan is to restore its previous glory.
After five consecutive years of work on Cairo Vision 2050, the revolution took place, and the project was stigmatized for alleged ties with Gamal Mubarak, former President Hosny Mubarak's son. "Even though I never even met the guy," he laughs. "The public misunderstood the project vision of expanding Cairo on an additional 10,000 feddans as well as our vision of enhancing citizens' quality of life, and instead we were smeared as a pure investment."
Abdel Mohsen and his team have also worked tirelessly towards a vision they dubbed Egypt 712 7 Cities, 7 Capitals, aiming to expand the concept of major hubs nationwide from merely the Nile Valley. Three capitals would be newly-built in the desert, one being the currently under-construction New Administrative capital, while four others are already in existence and to undergo further developments.
"Alexandria the Capital of Knowledge, Cairo the Capital of Culture, Luxor the Capital of World Heritage and El Salloum the Capital of Aerospace Research are the old cities to be developed according to the vision," he says, before outlining that the new cities would be constructed from scratch.
"Seneen in North Sinai would be built as a Capital of Business & Trading, Nefertari the New Capital in the Western Desert 200 km from Cairo, and Toshka Egypt's new delta," he clarifies. This vision was put in place by experts across disciplines, who held workshops to examine the needs of Egyptian citizens and diversify the main centers of attraction across governorates "as opposed to everything being based in Cairo," he comments.
"For me, the New Administrative Capital is a dream where all the principles we have been speaking about should be implemented — it should be green, smart, and sustainable," Abdel Mohsen tells Invest-Gate. He and his partners from 5+UDC are hired to put the strategic masterplan for the New Administrative Capital, including different zones such as the area dedicated to government administration buildings. The 700-square-kilometer megaproject runs with a green river at its spine, alongside several surrounding parks each larger than New York's Central Park.
Their mission was clear, putting into consideration creating a sustainable city, combining a natural environment, a healthy community, and economic vitality. The New Administrative Capital was designed as a smart city, with many utilities, services, and various transportation networks. It reportedly encompasses a network for walking areas and bicycle areas, working towards creating a livable city through new destinations and improving connectivity, with a wide variety of shops, cafes, schools, religious institutions and public parks for residents, workers and visitors alike. Abdel Mohsen also runs a non-profit organization with the same aims, the Remal Foundation for Urban Development.
Abdel Mohsen tells Invest-Gate that he never left Egypt or travelled abroad for long-term work or academic assignments except for leisure or business trips, as he was determined "from day one" to serve and help his country succeed.
Abdel Mohsen founded Cube Consultants in 1990, four years after graduating at the top of his class from the Ain Shams Faculty of Engineering, initially working from his grandfather's old apartment. After another four years of tackling numerous projects independently, he finalized the company paperwork. Cube's projects include the Palestinian Embassy in New Cairo, restoration and development works to the National Theatre, and the Vortex Dubai Gateway, among other projects implemented nationwide and regionally.

Newly-published author Odette Larson of Porterville, a California State University, Fresno alumnae and English instructor, will be the guest speaker at a prose reading, reception and book signing on Wednesday, Nov. 28, sponsored by the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program.
The event will be at 4 p.m. in UC 200. It is free and open to the public.
Larson, who earned her master's degree in English (non-fiction prose option), was awarded the Outstanding Thesis Award by the Division of Graduate Studies last spring. Judges commended her "superb technical control of her material," and "the significance of the story for our time."
Her thesis became several chapters of her first book, "Flying Sparks: Growing Up on the Edge of Las Vegas" (2001, Verso Press), an autobiographical novel recounting a troubled childhood of poverty and physical and sexual abuse. She avoided her difficult home life by wandering the desert of Las Vegas in the 1950s on horseback and later running away from home. Eventually she finds herself in a mental institution called Sparks.
The book has been called a cross between "Girl, Interrupted" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
Larson, a skilled horse trainer, returned to college after raising her children, and started writing just over six years ago.
EDITORS: To schedule an interview with Odette Larson, contact Shirley Armbruster at 278-5292.

We left Glacier later that day and headed back to Kentucky. We wanted to see some things we had never seen before so we laid out our route to go home a different way than the way we went there. We would go down thru Utah, see the great Salt Lake in Salt Lake City. It is really a big lake, supposedly you can swim in it and you can not sink, don't know if that story is true or not as we did not take time to go swimming. Our trip was pretty much going really good until we were a few miles from Gunnison Colorado. I looked in the mirror and saw a lot of smoke and flames, pulled over really quick and ran to the passenger side of the camper and saw the rear tire was in flames and smoke rolling. Opened the camper door and grabbed the fire extinguisher and put the fire out, it was the tire burning. We had been just driving along enjoying the beautiful scenery along the road. We were high above a large lake and a sign close by said we were in Black Canyon.
Got the jack out and raised the rear axle up and the wheel just wobbled on the spindle. The bearings were completely shot. Took it apart and was really lucky in that it did not hurt the spindle, but the hub and bearing assy was shot. The rear bearing race was frozen on the spindle and I tried everything to get it off but was not having any luck. There was no traffic going by and no phone service to call for help. I just did not have enough tools to get the race off of the spindle, I needed a chisel and did not have one in my tool box. About that time I looked up and a state road dept. pickup truck pulled up. The guy got out and asked if we needed help. I explained our problem and he said that he did not have any tools in his truck, except, he said he had just stopped up the road because he saw something laying in the middle of the road. He walked over to the bed of his truck and reached down and came up with what looked like a brand new orange colored chisel. It was not in a tool box or anything like that, just laying in the bed of his truck where he tossed it after picking it up from the road. He gave it to me and said this might help. It was exactly what I needed. He said he had to leave and when I ask him how I could return it to him he said just keep it because it was just laying in the road. I thanked him very much and went to work on the spindle. The chisel worked and it came right off with no damage to the spindle. We unhooked the camper so we could go into town to get parts to fix it but since we did not want to leave the camper on the side of the road in this remote area, so Karan got the 38 revolver and a chair and said she would sit and guard it while watching the lake until I got back. I headed off to Gunnison, I think it was about 5 or 6 miles and just as I got into town I saw a NAPA auto parts store. I just knew I could get the parts there but when I went in and showed them what I needed they said they could not help me. I ask them if anyone in town would be able to help me and they gave me a response that made me think they were just sending me on a wild goose chase. They told me to go to the Muffler Shop up the road. Well, I did go up there and turns out they build trailers and had all of the parts I needed. He ask me what happened and I told him the story. I did not even ask how much it would be because we had to have it. He came out with a brand new spindle, a set of bearings, a new seal, nut and cap. He said just wait a couple of minutes and he would put it all together for me and grease it up. I just knew this was going to cost me a fortune. The people in there were some of the nicest people I had ever met. In a few minutes he came out with everything put together and laid it on the counter. I ask how much I owed him and he looked up and said $29.00. I could not believe it, but he said they liked helping people when they could. Next I needed a new tire and rim but he did not have one in the size I needed so he sent me to a used tire store up the street. They had a good used one and charged me $10.00 for it. Amazing that we got everything we needed so cheap and from really nice people. I headed back to the camper and it did not take any time to get it put together and back on the road. We headed to Pueblo, Colorado to stay at the KOA campground there for a few nights as I had family that lived there, not knowing what was ahead of us on Hwy 50. Everything was so beautiful here, mountains, lakes and forest. We came upon what we would call a big hill in Kentucky, but here they call it a high mountain pass, very high.
We had come upon the largest mountain pass we have ever seen. Monarch Pass, 11,312 ft high.We headed up the mountain, a lot of trucks barely crawling up the mountain. We were doing ok but not very fast pulling the camper. By the time we got to the top we were only going about 20 mph with the gas pedal on the floor. There is a rest area at the top and it was very interesting. We learned that this is on top of the Continental Divide that separates the country, with one side being the Atlantic side and one side being the Pacific side. Definitely a place worth driving to just to see and experience it. We continued on to the KOA in Pueblo, Co for the night with no more surprises on the way there. We called our family and they came down to the campground to visit for a while.
The next day we packed up and headed for home in Kentucky. No more surprises the rest of the way home.
Check back for the continuing story.

Prepared text of Gov. Haslam's speech to the 109th General Assembly (Note: He added some interesting stuff) at the outset of a special session on a proposed "Insure Tennessee" Monday evening:
Lt. Gov. Ramsey, Speaker Harwell, and members of the Tennessee General Assembly:
Let me begin by thanking you for the opportunity to come before you as you begin this Special Session. Calling a Special Session, which I've never done before, is not something I take lightly. I understand the difficulty of the subject we will be discussing. Issues surrounding health care are complex, and the politics can seem difficult, but there are few challenges facing our state or our country today as great as those presented by our broken health care system. I just don't believe that we can sit back and do nothing.
It might be worth it to remind ourselves how we got here. In 2010, Congress passed the Affordable Care Act. It was a massive piece of legislation that passed on a totally partisan basis. It was incredibly controversial then, and today, over five years later, it remains controversial.
In June of 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on a question about the legality of the Affordable Care Act. In a somewhat surprising ruling, they determined that the Affordable Care Act was constitutional but that the federal government could not force states to expand their Medicaid programs. Every state was left to decide on its own whether or not to cover the newly eligible population. While some states immediately decided that they would, others quickly said no.
In Tennessee, we took time to evaluate our options to find the right answer for our state. In March of 2013, almost two years ago, I was in this chamber to tell you that Tennessee would not expand our Medicaid program. Expanding a broken system doesn't make sense. But, I also didn't think that flat out saying no to accepting federal dollars that Tennesseans are paying for, that are going to other states, and that could cover more Tennesseans who truly need insurance made much sense either.

I am truly trying to be better about updating this blog, but I get so busy and forget!
Since my last visit we celebrated Easter, Hailey turned 6 and we had another soccer game (which unfortunately they lost because Hailey refused to play -- more on that in a minute!)
Easter was egg-citing! (LOL, couldn't resist that!). The kids woke up at the crack of dawn to find eggs scattered all over the backyard and baskets FULL of good loot! Here is Hailey's basket and some pictures of the hunt and "booty"..........................................
Next we had Hailey's birtday!~ She is 6! 6! Can you believe it? Where does the time go? I so wish I could slow it down or freeze time just for a while! They are all growing so fast and I am worried I will miss something or forget something! (henceforth my need to document everything on film! The girls may not always like the camera in their faces now, but one day they will thank me! - I know how glad I am that my Dad did it, even when it was less than enjoyable!) So, here is my Birthday girl!
The horse and stable was one of her favorite gifts (Thanks Grandma!). She talked about it and asked for it for weeks. She was also excited to receive a gift card from her favorite store, Target, from Grandma Patti! She also got a mess of new Pet Shop (gotta grow the collection! nevermind it won't fit in the largest tub!) After the present opening we all enjoyed Tinkerbell cake and ice cream! I would say the birthday was a success!
The soccer season is well under way and while Hailey is an excellent player, she is not the most sportsman-like player on the team. Most of the players on her team are 4 or 5. They don't keep official score and there is no real strategy, just run after the ball in a pack and kick it! There are lots of "downed" players and many a hurt feeling, but most of the kids bounce back and continue the game, but not Hailey. Maybe it is the competitive "Harwick" gene that runs in her blood (or maybe it is Daddy's teaching) or the fact that Daddy has taught Hailey the rules of the game and has worked with her on passing and moving the ball down the field, but Hailey knows the score. Hailey wants the ball, Hailey wants to play the "game"..... and well,unfortunately, the other players don't. This frustrates Hailey, who in turn melts down. Friday was no exception. The "royal blue" team boasts some pretty good players (our team is more like the Bad News Bears).... they ran fast, they scored... they dominated the field. At one point Hailey was tripped by the mob, at which point she began to cry, she sucked it up and carried on.... only to have the ball stolen from her and then scored on, ugh! That was it. Tantrum, meltdown, refusal to play which = frustration for Mommy (as Daddy is out on the field "coaching"). Hailey refused to play the entire remainder of the game... Score 7-0. Royal Blue won. Will load some pictures of the masacre later. LOL!
Hmm.. not sure if I ever shared my BIG news?! I was choosen to be a member of the Design Team at AllyScraps!! I am so excited to be a part of their team! I received my first kit in March. You can check out the site and my work by clicking the link! They also have a super fun community of very friendly people and a great store full of NEW stuff! We will be starting an April BINGO game this week, come over and buy a card for $1.00 and you could win a GC if you get BINGO! We also have a biweekly sketch challenge hosted by the talented Debbie Gaydos! You can check that out here.
We are starting a Spring Secret Sister Swap at Scrap Space. If you are interested in playing go sign in!
Well, I think that is it for now! I will try to post again soon!
