Great honeyed fruit character with a succulent minerality, hints of citrus and juicy apples on the palate with a dry almost chalky finish.
In 1971 Jean-Marc Brocard married Claudine Petit, daughter of a wine grower in Saint Bris. Jean-Marc learnt the art of winemaking from his father-in-law Emile Petit and Emile’s cousin Louis.
Then in 1973 Jean-Marc settled in Préhy in Chablis starting with just 0.3ha of vines. In 1986 he built a cellar amongst the vineyards which dominates the views north towards Chablis itself. Today he is handing reins over to his son Julien, who is ably assisted by his sister Céline. They are now in charge of over 200 ha of vineyards, which they farm on biodynamic and organic principles, with new state-of-the-art technologies being used in the chai - a new gravity fed winery was built in 2001 that uses a quarter of the water of the old one. Meanwhile sales have forged ahead and they currently export to over 44 countries worldwide. Brocard wines are elegant and poised – “precision and freshness” the signature that Julien says he seeks.

Apparently one offer stands out, since it only wants to exploit the island, that way Athina would still be legal owner. Also, the intended buyer cannot destroy the buildings on the island either, he/she must leave them as they are. Let us not forget that several members of her family are buried there, and from what we know Aristotle Onassis placed a clause in his will not permitting the sale of Scorpio for this very reason.
The last time the 27-year old Athina visited the island was in 1998, for the memorial of her mother Christina.
Editor's Note - Shame. The bones of Aristotle and Christina Onassis are probably rattling in their graves.

Italian software developer Overloud is offering Breverb, a synthesized reverb plug-in that's modeled on high-end hardware reverbs costing many times its $499 retail. It includes four master algorithms: Hall, Room, Plate and Inverse. Each algorithm runs in a separate environment within the plug-in while using minimal CPU resources, and has specific sets of adjustable parameters that are relevant to the ambience that they create. Breverb runs as a native app on PCs and Macs in Audio Units, VST and RTAS formats, and uses iLok copy protection.
Breverb's GUI clearly shows that incoming stereo signals are split into dry and wet (reverberation) paths. For control, there are stereo input/output faders, wet and dry level faders, pan pots and meters that surround the centralized reverb algorithm/preset selector menu. The wet signal passes through a master EQ and gate on its way to the wet/dry output mixer.
This master EQ comprises two dual-band, full-range parametric EQs with controls for gain, frequency and Q. The Q control adjusts the width of these bell-shaped filters and can also change them to 12dB-per-octave lowpass or highpass filters. The algorithm also includes a damping control (for use with halls, rooms and plates) to simulate the real-world effects of a room's wall materials and objects that absorb mostly high frequencies.
Overloud Breverb's interface lets you show/hide a customizable fader bank.
Following the EQ is a gate intended for gating reverb tails, with threshold, attack, release, hold time, shape (either linear or sigma) and slope parameters. The attack, release and hold parameters operate like any typical noise gate. Shape offers a choice of gate-attenuation curves: Linear is a straight, downward path; and sigma is an “S” shape, in which the gate closes slowly at first and then more rapidly downward. Slope controls the exact shape of this S curve — higher values mean a steeper downside.
Both the master EQ and gate are represented in the GUI as the last two in a row of five master control buttons or tabs with lighted in/out indicators. When you click on any of these five tabs, a row of up to six knobs appears for adjusting parameters under the selected tab's name/function.
Breverb's row of five master control tabs starts with the General tab, offering up to six parameters for controlling the synthesized reverbs. Nine reverb parameters are available: time, size, decay, diffusion, shape, spread, motion, pre-delay and depth. Control parameters vary depending on a preset's algorithm — i.e., a room algorithm's general parameter set offers time, size, diffusion and decay, while an inverse effect requires time, diffusion, pre-delay, motion and depth controls.
Breverb maintains a separate table of parameter values for each of the reverb's four master algorithms and their subsequently generated presets. You can properly “scale” a parameter's range to fit the selected algorithm/preset, automate and store parameter settings and then toggle between them (when changing presets) without overwriting the other parameter sets used for the other three algorithm/presets. This is ideal for comparing two different reverbs using the A and B select buttons, or shuttling sets of parameters between presets using the A-to-B and B-to-A functions. You can automate up to 133 parameters.
In Breverb, all parameters function independently of one another. One advantage of a reverb synth like Breverb over a convolution-based reverb is that in a reverb synth, all settings are completely malleable and free of any of the natural laws of physics. You can easily create room reverb sounds that are impossible in the physical world; because the reverb time and room size parameters are not connected, very small spaces can have very long reverberation times. Imagine a closet with a near-infinite number of reflections or a concert hall the size of a bedroom. I love it!
Pre-delay is configured in milliseconds or in musical notation for synching to session tempo. The Regen control sets pre-delay feedback of the left/right input channels, Motion sets the speed of the pre-delay modulation and Depth sets the amount of modulation.
To conserve screen space, you can show/hide up to six additional faders under the row of knobs or on the plug-in's right side. These six faders default to the most often tweaked parameters but can be easily reconfigured to control and/or automate any of Breverb's 37 GUI controls.
All master controls and parameters are saved with each user-named preset, and all six advanced mode faders — plus the in/wet/dry controls — are accessible via an external MIDI controller.
After installing the RTAS version on my quad-core Mac for my Pro Tools HD3 Accel system, I added Breverb to a session whose DSP resources were already maxed out and found no problems after Pro Tools reshuffled its DSP resources. In general, Breverb has a very present and bright sound, and, to be heard, does not add any appreciable level to the mix. After using it for a few weeks, I found that all of its presets cut through with ease and added a polished sheen to my mixes.
I first try all new hardware and software reverbs on drums. Percussive drum sounds are broadband and short in duration, so it's easy to hear any “boinging” or noticeable decay-looping artifacts. I used a room preset called Guitar Studio on the snare drum in a 128 bpm R&B song, which already had five other reverbs and four delays coming in and out at certain moments as effects. Breverb worked perfectly for adding a little overall ambience to the track. The Guitar Studio preset also worked for the lead vocal.
On a rock song, I modified an inverse preset called Swept Arpeggio to thicken a snare sound. Inverse patches sound unnatural, so unless you're going for a big-hair '80s snare sound, a little goes a long way. Inverse also works well on lead vocals, where it adds stereo width and size without the long-tailed reverb of a plate or hall patch.
A room patch called Chamber 1 worked smoothly on a pop ballad, and I preferred adjusting pre-delay using musical notation over using milliseconds. Using the Regen function makes pre-delay more interesting and smooths out any vocal attacks that can distract from the effect of an otherwise smooth-sounding reverb. I used the gate to ensure that the total hang time of the reverb's tail did not wash over the bar line of a chord change. Both the gate hold and release times are separately adjustable using musical notation — an extra-cool feature that gives you precise control rather than making you guess when the gate should shut.
One of the most beautiful plate presets is A Night In Sevilla. I used this on a fingerpicked acoustic guitar solo with great results. I could not get enough of this wonderful-sounding reverb! I used the master EQ to warm up the tone of the reverb slightly to better fit my track.
By greatly enlarging the size parameter of the Cello Drama Ambience plate preset while keeping the default time at 500 ms, I created a plate the size of a skyscraper with the decay time of a small room. This was amazing on an acoustic rhythm guitar, giving it a roomy sound that wasn't washed out in long reverb.
On a kick drum, I used a plate preset called Drums Up Front. I was going for a tight ambience on the kick because, by comparison to the rest of the kit, it sounded much too present, close and dry. I dialed the time parameter down to 200 ms and made the size at 45 percent. As with all very tight ambiences, I carefully added just enough to hear the effect while solo'ing the kick drum tracks. I find on most software reverbs, the left and right output levels for supertight ambiences are never exactly matched, and I would like to see separate level controls for the left and right outputs in Breverb. There are pan pots for left/right inputs and outputs that change the panoramic positioning, but not the level.
I liked Breverb's separate algorithms, its presets, the well-thought-out GUI and, most of all, its superb sound. And this plug-in lets you easily accomplish everything you would do using the remote control of a large, expensive hardware reverb. If you are interested in building your reverberation sounds just as you would build the sound of your mixes, then Breverb is for you.

The Bat Signal has gone up over Mexico, and Valentin Gonzalez is answering the call.
Last week the little-known candidate running for municipal president of Nezahualcoyotl, a crime-ridden area on the outskirts of Mexico City, rolled up to a campaign event in an old school Batmobile looking probably as cool as he ever has.
“Ciudad Neza,” a municipality named after an ancient Aztec emperor, is home to one of Mexico’s roughest neighborhoods and has a long history of local corrupt officials and ruling mafias. So the Gotham comparison isn't much of a stretch.
Gonzalez, who represents a minority left-wing party called MORENA, wants to be the town's dark knight. Although thankfully, he's not dressing the part. Yet.
“The Batmobile is a resource that my campaign team considered was very important to attract the attention of citizens, youngsters and children alike who face record levels of insecurity and delinquency in Neza,” he said.
“Mexicans are the true heroes and we are the ones who will fix our country's problems,” Gonzalez added.
He said the Batmobile is a replica built by Mexican artist Tomas Ibarra based on the one used in the original 1960s TV series.
Gonzalez isn’t the only candidate using a flashy vehicle to attract media attention and — hopefully— voters. National Action Party (PAN) conservative candidate Hector Insua Garcia launched his campaign in the northern city of Colima using a bus modeled after an airplane and a limousine.
These campaign stunts, bizarre political ads and the roster of colorful characters running for office — everyone from clowns to soccer players — have given Mexico’s upcoming midterm elections a cartoony atmosphere in a country that's looking for serious answers to major problems.

There’s always been a stigma revolving around leasing a car. Even in my eyes, it follows similar principles to that of renting your home instead of owning. You miss out on benefits such as tax cuts and equity. I would never have thought I would one day lease a car, which is basically a long-term rental if you look at it. But I decided to enter into a Ford Focus Electric lease because once the numbers are laid out, it makes perfect logical sense. I looked into many other electric vehicles before choosing the Ford (such as the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius) but ultimately I wanted a car that required no oil change or emissions, thus erasing gas costs completely from my budget, and also had a long enough electric range to accommodate my commute times.
Scenario: Currently I’m leasing a Ford Focus Electric and I live in the DC area, paying around $200 per month for the lease, on a 3-year term. I used to drive a Lexus IS 250.
Maintenance: I used to take it in every 4 months for maintenance and paid around $200 for everything which averages out to $50 a month (oil change, filters, rotations, alignment).
The Ford Focus Electric has a battery capacity of 23 kH. Under Dominion’s EV Pricing Plan you can get $0.0513 per kH. This can be done easily by setting up the car’s charging schedule.
Maintenance: Once every 10,000 miles. And “maintenance” involves topping off fluids, alignment, and rotation. There’s no transmission.
So Why Ford Focus Electric Lease?
The residual cost of the Ford Focus Electric lease after 3 years will be around $15,000 which is around the expected depreciation rate after 3 years anyways for someone who owns it. The monthly lease payments integrate the $7500 electric vehicle tax credit incentive, something I wouldn’t have received since, with my income, I would only use about $1000 of tax credit per year to pay my taxes. The other $6500 would be a wasted opportunity cost.
Also, with EV’s still being new to the market, the chances of better EVs in production after 3 years is likely to happen.
Of course everyone’s scenario is different. My daily work commute is around 20 miles round-trip. I don’t need a full charge every day so charging between 1am and 5am is enough for my vehicle. I don’t need a level 2 charging station and there are many free charging stations around the DC area. This made it a lot more sense to go with the Ford Focus Electric than keeping the Lexus. Not only are fuel costs lower but sometimes free!
If you’re deciding on joining the electric vehicle realm, consider your options. There aren’t many cars with a lengthy electric range sans the Tesla. The Ford Focus Electric has a standard range of 76 miles which will suffice many daily commuters. Throw in a level 2 charger and it opens up more options to travel outside of work. However an EV is not practical for long distance driving so always consider a secondary gas-based car in the household should any emergencies arise.

The writer attacks a number of Canadian cultural and journalistic figures a good deal more renowned than he is, for the offense of being publicly well-disposed to me. It is not clear what right are they exercising that he challenges. This seems to be just the hackneyed effort of a minor personality seeking some grandeur for himself by slinging obloquy at more famous professional colleagues (Margaret Atwood, Margaret Wente, Rex Murphy, and Brian Stewart). He apparently objects to their stated view that I was rightfully readmitted as a temporary resident to Canada and so presumably contests that opinion. If that is his grievance, and he thinks I should not have been permitted to enter this country even for a visit, let him say it -- though by now, it is a very stale topic.
Dusting off the worm-eaten chestnut of libel chill is seriously contemptible. I have endured, in comparative tranquility, one of the most prolonged and vituperative campaigns of defamation in the modern history of advanced countries, as the allegations against me evaporated from the theft of $500 million to the receipt of $285,000. It is uncontested in the judicial evidence that was approved by the directors. It was a charge unanimously vacated by the U.S. Supreme Court, but self-servingly retrieved by a notoriously megalomaniacal lower court judge whom the high court excoriated, but sent the case back to for his own assessment of the gravity of his previous errors.
This is not a conviction by any Canadian jurisprudential standards.
The authors of the original $500 million theft charge have agreed to the largest libel settlement in Canadian history by a multiple of almost four -- in my favour. All I am seeking in the case objected to here is recognition that I was not one of the "thieves of Bay Street" (whose behaviour offends me as much as it does the author of the book).
I am not seeking monetary damages, nor seeking to pulp the book or discourage or gag the author in any way, but merely to be discharged, in gentle terms, that I composed and offered (or any similar wording) from the allegation of theft, and to require Random House to take responsibility for the contemporaneous publication of this book, defamatory of me whatever its other merits are, and for my recent book -- now in its sixth printing, generally well-received and profitable to Random House -- which documents the unmitigated fraudulence of the charges against me.
I am defending my reputation against published falsehoods and corporate hypocrisy by Random House in the U.S., in the gentlest way available to me; not chilling anyone. If the respondents won't take the painless resolution I offered them, or make a serious counter-proposal, the courts will decide.
Unleashing the sophomoric, attention-seeking posturings of this writer will not achieve anything for them. He has now inflicted himself on the Huffington Post (perhaps the Canadian Dental News will be next), since he sank without a ripple in the Ottawa Citizen, apart perhaps from the brackish waters of my pathological critics where he seems to circulate.
This is not investigation, not news, nor rigorous comment, nor a legitimate subject of his gelatinous sanctimony, and will have no impact on the resolution of the important principles involved.

But economists say that recent signs of cutting back by the affluent could hurt the economy and deliver even more pain to lower-income workers, who are dependent on their business and fat tips.
Didn’t the media deride this as “trickle-down economics” when Ronald Reagan argued this theory? Somehow, I doubt they’ll give him credit for his concern for the poor.
The last remaining Marine from the iconic photo of raising the flag over Iwo Jima died on January 29th.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and through the mercy of God, may their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
That would be awesome. Tarantula Girl would be pleased.
If only Jimmy Carter had been around at the time to show Jesus the error of his ways, He might have established a utopia on earth. Jimmy could have saved Jesus from the foolish decision to turn down secular power, to stop teaching to the poor and calling for conversion of hearts, focusing instead on forcing people to do His will. Jimmy might even have persuaded Him from the foolishness of the Cross!
Of course, Satan was trying to keep Jesus from the Cross; that was the whole point of Satan tempting Jesus in the desert. Getting Jesus to focus on the things of this world, rather than the next world. Satan doesn’t care about this world: he wants us to lose our souls so we’ll be with him, and not God, in the next. That’s what each of those three temptations in the desert (Matt 4:1-13) was about: trying to get Jesus to focus on the things of this world to the exclusion of the next. (And also, each of the three temptations is an undoing of Adam and Eve’s failures. Each temptation corresponds to a temptation they gave into, but that’s another post.) That’s the temptations we face every day, and where we too often fail. Unfortunately, Jimmy Carter looks at these temptations and says “Sweet!” Ironically, in the article linked above, he takes umbrage at being given the label “secular humanist,” when this is the exact error he makes: focusing too much on secular needs while neglecting the needs of the soul.
I’m so glad he only got one term.
The first can be forgiven and corrected through study; the second is truly dangerous to our souls. And to the people they would seek to lead.

Sleep Country Canada has agreed to buy online mattress seller Endy for $89 million.
The two companies announced a deal Thursday evening that will see the retail mattress chain buy the Canadian mattress maker for $63.7 million in cash now, plus up to another $25 million in three years if certain growth and profitability targets are achieved.
"The acquisition of Endy will … complement Sleep Country's national store footprint and diverse selection of sleep products," Sleep Country CEO David Friesema said in a statement.
Created in 2015 by Rajen Ruparell and Mike Gettis, who first met as high school students in Calgary, Endy has quickly grown into one of the leading sellers of mattresses online.
Unlike conventional boxspring-based systems, Endy sells mattresses that ship direct to consumers in a cardboard box about the size of a large duffel bag, before being unfurled by users in their homes to fit any standard sized bed frame.
Sleep Country Canada, meanwhile, is the biggest retail mattress chain in the country, with 264 locations across Canada. It already sells its own type of mattress-in-a-box product, Bloom, which comes in four different styles and price levels.
Despite the new ownership structure, both companies say they will continue to operate as separate entities, and the Endy founders will remain in charge, "encouraging the competitive entrepreneurial spirit that has positioned them both as leaders in their respective spaces," they said in a release.

SALISBURY player-manager Darrell Clarke is not ruling out throwing himself into the heat of battle when his side face Sheffield United today.
Clarke’s Blue Square Bet South charges are the lowest-ranked side in the competition, but he will do whatever it takes to spring a surprise on his former boss Danny Wilson.
Asked if he will select himself against a side 84 league positions above his, Clarke, above, said: “That’s the million-dollar question. What I will say is I won’t be playing just because it’s Sheffield United, I’ll be playing because I need to.
“I’ve had my career, I’ve played in big games, big cup games, so I’ll be making a professional decision.
The Whites currently sit 16th in their league but bucked the trend in the cup and, after a 3-2 replay win over Grimsby, find themselves in the third round for the first time.
Clarke, 34, concedes their five-game run, in which he has featured once, has been a distraction at times, but the prize-money has been a boon.
In 2009 the club were placed in administration and subsequently expelled from the Football Conference after failing to meet a deadline for satisfying their creditors.
But after having a visit from the FA Cup itself at the Raymond McEnhill stadium, Clarke believes his side can upset their League One rivals.
“You’ve got to appreciate, yes they have got better players, they are the better team, but there’s more than one way to skin a cat,” he said.
“We’ve worked on a game plan to try to frustrate them and be disciplined and you never know.
A cup shock would give Clarke some payback for being released from Hartlepool by Wilson in 2007.

TravelCenters of America believes in giving back to the communities in which we do business, as well as to those organizations that are meaningful to our customers and employees.
TravelCenters of America aims to treat professional drivers with the respect they deserve at the company’s TA and Petro branded travel centers.
TA and Petro joined SCF in 2010 in order to align their charitable focus to the needs of their primary customer, the professional truck driver. SCF provides financial assistance when a driver is hospitalized or receives some form of medical treatment and can no longer drive-either permanently or for a significant period of time. For most drivers, driving is the sole means of income for their families and many are underinsured. The SCF reimburses qualified expenses so the driver and his/her family does not not suffer undue financial hardship. SCF has paid house or truck payments, utility bills and other vital living expenses to assist those in need.
TA and Petro sponsor's the American Trucking Association's America's Road Team by providing the fuel for this group of professional drivers who provide public relations support for the trucking industry. The America's Road Team are hand selected professional truck drivers for all over the country who speak to schools, media events and other local organizations promoting safety and educating these entities of the trucking profession's focus on highway safety.
In 2013, TA and Petro launched the annual Citizen Driver nomination process. Veteran professional drivers who exhibit high standards of safety, leadership, community involvement and giving back are nominated, vetted and a select number are graded by a list of judges. The drivers honored as a Citizen Driver have their favorite TA or Petro travel center location named after them. Front and rear entrance signs are changed out with the name of the Citizen Driver honoree and local ceremonies are held for the unveiling and to promote to local communities that the professional truck driving ranks are filled with stellar examples of community minded individuals. This is TA and Petro's effort to educate the motoring public at a grassroots level of the high standards of most within the truck driving industry and to promote a positive image for those who earn a living as a professional truck driver. An annual awards ceremony is held to announce each year's honorees at the Mid American Trucking show in Louisville, Kentucky.
Each year, TA and Petro, through our TA and Petro Stopping Center branded sit down restaurants, honors and respects military veterans by providing free meals on the 4th of July. During that day, each restaurant also displays one table empty as a symbol of all the military members who lost their lives for our freedom. Donations that day are provided to military charities in each community.
TA and Petro was the first travel center chain to join the fight against human trafficking. In 2011, TA and Petro joined Truckers Against Trafficking, an organization that empowers professional truck drivers on spotting and reporting suspected human trafficking activity along the nation's highways. TA and Petro mandates that all existing and new TA and Petro employees are trained on TAT training materials. More recently, TA and Petro enhanced this fight by joining the Department of Homeland Security's Blue Campaign, a program that also raises the awareness of this crime and how to report suspected activity. Blue Campaign posters and additional training materials are being used to expand TA and Petro's base of knowledge and that of their customers.
TA and Petro participates in the Truckload Carrier's Association Wreath's Across America event in December in several ways. The Wreaths Across America effort transports thousands of fresh pine Christmas memorial wreaths to Arlington National Cemetery and other military cemeteries where wreaths are laid at every gravestone to honor those who have given their lives for our country. First, TA and Petro sponsors part of the fund raising efforts at the annual TCA WAA gala event in Washington DC. Second, TA and Petro enrolled one of their own delivery trucks from their Over The Road Distributing warehouse to participate in the wreath delivery process and third, TA and Petro host dinner for the convoy in route to Arlington (which includes bus loads of veterans of all wars).
TA and Petro offers support for other truck driving organizations. One is Trucker Buddy International, an organization that matches professional truck drivers as educational "pen pals" with schools across the globe. Within this program, truck drivers participate in school curriculums in subjects like history, geography and math by sharing information during their travels across the U.S. interstate system. TA and Petro participate by sending trucker related "premium items" that school children receive as gifts and incentives within the classroom.
Headquartered in Westlake, Ohio, approximately 15 miles west of Cleveland, TravelCenters of America’s corporate employees have been donating to the local American Red Cross Disaster Services during the holiday season for nearly two decades.
Each year, employees donate new toys that the Red Cross distributes to children who are victims of disasters – namely house fires – during the holiday season and throughout the year. At times, these gifts may be all a family has left if they’ve lost everything due to fire or other disaster. The gifts are a token of hope and bring a smile to each child’s face.

I had something better planned for our CNY dinner menu (soup, main dish and dessert) but I wasn't up to cooking anything elaborate anymore after the unfortunate events that took place that morning so I decided to just do the pork version of this recipe.
2. I blanched the broccoli florets and carrot strips in boiling water for about 2 mins, drained it and set it aside.
4. Mix all the sauce ingredients and pour over the meat. Let simmer till you get your desired sauce consistency/thickness.
5. Add in the blanched veggies and stir till the veggies are coated with the sauce.
6. Serve with hot, steamed rice. Enjoy!!!!
I was half-expecting it to be a disaster but it turned out to be pretty good.
Now making a mental note to buy a stir-fry wok so I can experiment more on Chinese dishes.

Children’s graves were frequently enclosed with wooden or wrought iron fencing, or carefully laid stone borders. Headstones with carved l ambs denote infant burials. Poetry abounds. Especially memorable is a monument in a Central City cemetery marking the graves for one family’s five children – all who died before reaching their first birthday.
Graveyards near ghost towns and mining camps remain worthy of investigation. Spend a crisp autumn afternoon strolling the distinctive cemeteries near Alma, Central City, Cripple Creek or Leadville for a Colorado history refresher coarse.
The Littleton Cemetery on South Prince Street is the permanent (?) resting place of Alfred Packer, the only man in United States history to be convicted of the crime of cannibalism.
An October tradition in Aspen is “Walking with the Dead” in the Ute Cemetery. Tales from the grave are told by young pioneers. Aspen Walking Tours offers the hour-long cemetery walks every Saturday of October, the last two Fridays and Halloween Sunday (Oct. 2, 9, 16, 22, 23, 29, 30, & 31, 2010) at 5:30pm. Cost is $20/person; call 970-948-4349 for reservations.
“Meet the Spirits of Boulder’s Columbia Cemetery (also known as Pioneer Cemetery) on October 17, 2010 from noon to 5pm. Victorian mourners, funeral music, vintage hearses, and a solemn Masonic burial service reenactment will enhance the stories told by costumed “spirits” risen from their graves for the afternoon. Ghost Hunters with ParaFPI will demonstrate equipment and techniques used in paranormal research. The elite TAPS Family team is currently investigating the Columbia Cemetery.
Tickets will be available at the cemetery gate at Ninth & Pleasant Streets, Boulder, on the day of the tour. Cost is $10/adult, $5/children and studens under 16. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the Historic Boulder office, 1123 Spruce Street. A rain date of October 24, 2010 is schedule for “Meet the Spirits” if weather conditions cause cancellation on the 17th.
The tombstones in Cripple Creek’s Mt. Pisgah Cemetery tell numerous stories of the town’s famous and the infamous. On September 18, 2010 the Gold Camp Victorian Society plans a day of Mt. Pisgah tours with character reenactments throughout the cemetery. Tours start at the Cripple Creek District Museum located next to the Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad Depot. The tour begins with a ride aboard the historic trolley. The first tour leaves the museum at 9:30am; the last departs at 2:00pm. Donations to benefit the society’s historic preservation efforts are $8/adult, $15/couple and $5/child under 12. I’m sure you’ll meet Pearl.
Tom “Dr. Colorado” Noel pays respect to Denver’s pioneer movers and shakers at Riverside Cemetery on Saturday afternoon, October 30, 2010. Meet Nathan A. Baker, whose daughter claimed he, “Loved horses more than his own blood kin.” Baker lies under a life-sized stone Arabian stallion – named Frank. Perhaps the daughter was right. Numerous other Colorado “characters” will make appearances including governors, miners and businesswomen.
The 2010 Riverside Halloween Tour is sponsored by History Colorado and Dr. Noel and hosted by the Fairmount Heritage Foundation. Reservations should be made at 303-866-4686; cost is $25 for History Colorado members, $30 for non-members.
In Glenwood Springs costumed historic characters recall their lively pasts as lantern led tours visit the “spirits” of Linwood (Glenwood Pioneer) Cemetery. Doc Holliday is reportedly buried here … or is he? Join the Annual Historic Ghost Walk to hear the story. The walks are planned for Oct. 15-17, Oct. 22-24 and Oct. 29-31, 2009. Tickets are $15/person and go on sale Oct. 1. These annual walks sell out quickly, purchase tickets as soon as they go on sale by calling the Frontier Historical Museum at 970-945-4448.
We’ve tramped around many of Colorado’s cemeteries through the years, especially those near early mining camps. Each has its own distinctive characteristics and slate of citizens with fascinating stories. Leadville’s Evergreen Cemetery contains graves from 1879 to the present, graves with ornate headstones and those with rotting crosses. One early section with sunken graves ranks as the spookiest I’ve ever visited. Judge Neil Reynolds introduces the spirits of Evergreen Cemetery during Halloween Tours Oct. 29-30 at 8:00pm each evening. This popular event usually sells out – call 719-486-3900 or 888-532-3845 for tickets, $10/person.

The Paper Fig Foundation is the charitable initiative of New York City based event management and production firm, LDJ Productions. Its mission is to use Fashion and Fine Arts as an engine for economic empowerment and job creation in East Africa and beyond. We have developed two pillar programs that operate in tandem. Macro Approach (Urban): Industry Innovation, Fashion Week Platform Development, Master Classes, and a Hands-on Fellowship Program. Micro Approach (Rural): Using Fashion and related arts as a vehicle for women's empowerment through technical skills training.
The urban empowerment pillar focuses on “fashion as a platform” and the building of organized fashion events (fashion weeks). These serve as conduits to assist designers in presenting their collections to the global fashion industry. By using the foundation's network, which includes LDJ Productions, the agency producers of New York Fashion Week, these fashion platforms receive first-hand industry blueprints from experts. The foundation partners with local event organizers and designers to share best practices on overall event logistics, marketing, technical production, budgeting, model casting, branding, and product showcasing.
Paper Fig works closely with vital industry stakeholders that include: designers, technical production staff, models, photographers, and business managers. The foundation team provides hands-on training through master classes and workshops in pattern making, draping, sizing, pricing, branding, and other skills needed for designers and entrepreneurs to be competitive in the global fashion industry. This sustainable community development initiative focuses on large-scale job creation that has the potential to significantly impact the region. Master classes have taken place in Kigali, Rwanda, Kampala, Uganda, and Nairobi, Kenya.
Programming in the rural communities has two main objectives. 1) To provide training in sewing and related arts to women and girls who have left school and are at risk of early marriage, human trafficking, and severe poverty. 2) To fill a void in the urban market by preparing skilled workers to support the emerging fashion industry. The foundation seeks to create an "Invisible Thread" that connects rural communities with urban markets, initiating long-term, sustainable relationships. The “Invisible Thread” will foster economic development with a focus on job creation and partnerships within the country.
The foundation provides fellowships for individuals to travel to New York during New York Fashion Week as well as within Africa to work alongside professionals and experts in the industry. During their fellowship in New York, each fellow shadows designers, backstage technicians, scenic artists, A/V crew, and lighting specialists. They are immersed in an in-depth, behind-the-scenes experience at the largest fashion event in the world. Fellows are expected to take back best practices and insight gained from the experience to their respective countries to further advance their own programs.
Paper Fig is currently working on the challenge of collecting reliable data to show the impact of the industry on the overall economy. With the goal of sustainable and broad-reaching community development, the foundation will concentrate on the parallel between urban fashion programs and the rural community initiatives. Creating long-term, sustainable partnerships is the impetus for this objective.
LDJ is proud to be a certified Women’s Business Enterprise.

Based on the life and writings of Quentin Crisp.
My first experience with Quentin Crisp was as Queen Elizabeth in Sally Potter’s remarkable Orlando. He’s not quite human in the film and his presence is like something from another galaxy or another world, at the very least. Despite that, he is absolutely magnetic and draws the camera as well as he draws the eye.
Roy Ward brings this same quality to his version of Quentin Crisp in Resident Alien, where we see the 90-year-old icon in his rather depressing apartment. Flying solo, Ward keeps the plotless show compelling with his Crisp. He nails all the things you would hope somebody playing Quentin Crisp to nail: he’s funny, quick, and reveals an intelligence behind his digs, meaning none of them seem particularly cruel, but just come off as facts. More impressively, he nails the human side of Crisp. After a genius line, he rolls his eyes, as if he’s disagreeing with himself or he’s disappointed in himself for making such an observation. It would be easy to caricature Quentin Crisp—it’s essentially what every amateur drag queen tries to do—but Ward goes a few steps further and gives us a human Crisp.
Tim Fountain’s script supports this portrayal and it’s surprisingly balanced. As much as he, and the script, clearly respects Crisp, there is much attention paid to the fact that he’s a 90-year-old man who lives alone in a dark, dank apartment, and is functionally by himself in life, other than occasional visitors and phone calls. For all the prescient things that Crisp says, there’s an awareness that his statements—and I wish I could quote them but my memory fails me—come from a life that has been hard-lived and his philosophies have been, albeit depressingly so, well-earned.
The design of the show is also very astute, especially Jessica Verryt’s set. It captures not only what a one-room apartment with a shared bathroom would look like, but what a one-room apartment that belongs to Quentin Crisp would look like. It also appears lived in, which is a grand achievement in the Basement Studio space. Peter Davison’s lighting makes the space dynamic without pulling focus, and both the costume and makeup design from Hanna Randall and Ana-Luiz Sidney and Zinzi Ellis respectively help Ward capture the essence of Crisp.
Beneath all his wit, jokes, and observations, there’s a man who has lived a half-life, a man who was openly gay in a time where it was more than just frowned upon. It made me wonder how Quentin Crisp would be if he grew up in today’s world or was born just a few decades later. Would he be the same intelligent, witty soul that gave the world a lot of joy with his books and performances, or would he be a legitimately happy person? I’m not sure whether the show is asking this question or just provoking me to ask it, but I think it’s a success no matter which one it’s doing.

In the school holidays I started my flying experience for the Air Activities component of the Trefoil 3 Outdoors badge, along with Elizabeth, Zayda, Kaitlyn, Skyla and Jacinta. We spent the afternoon with the Ballarat Aero Club learning what all the different parts of the plane are, and how they all work. We had a look at a plane and labelled lots of its different parts, and got to look inside the plane at all the controls. They were all very interesting and there were so many buttons and levers.
We watched a short video about someone planning on a long trip in a plane and they told us some safety methods and lots of helpful tips. I found this day very interesting as I previously knew nothing about planes. I felt that I learn a lot.
On the second afternoon we got to go up in the plane and see how it works in action.
We all got to have a go individually. Before I went up I was very nervous and scared. Once it was my turn I got in the seat and I felt comfortable and relaxed. I got to try on the big radio headset that the pilots use when they are in the air to talk to each other and communicate who is going where and when. They were very big and sound cancelling.
Next it was time to go up in the air. On the way up I held on very tight, but it was so much fun (not what I was expecting). The view up in the air was amazing, and everything, even the airport, looked tiny. Up in the air the pilot had to make sure that the horizon was in the middle of the windscreen.
We travelled towards Lake Wendouree. It was so big compared to everything else. When the plane was turning it felt like it was in a vertical line and that you would fall out (except that there were doors and windows). On our way back to the aerodrome I saw my school, so the pilot turned the plane and we went and had a closer look. It looked very small from how high up I was.
Then we went back to the aerodrome and landed safely. Although it was fun up there it was good to be back on the ground.
Flying in the small plane like that is an experience that I will never forget.
Girl Guides Ballarat thank the team at Ballarat Aero Club for the time they spent with our Guides and for making alternative arrangements to work around the bad weather. This was an incredible opportunity for the girls and we appreciate the support provided.

There are many factors that business rely on in order to survive or succeed. Such factors include marketing plans, money from profits or incomes, etc. However, there is a single factor that is critical to making the business successful, and that it is communication.
Business owner can achieve a positive result with the business if there is consistent and strong communication. We communicate every day, personally and professionally. With regards to business, everything requires communication just selling the products or giving out services. Inbound and outbound communication is very crucial to business. There is a huge competition in the market and for smaller businesses to take part on it, they must consider communication a good deal to have a place in the market.
Business communication can be done in two forms: one-way or two-way. The one-way type is when businesses advertise in radios or newspapers to reach to customers without expecting a response. The two-way type is when the customers start to communicate back to the business owners or business customer service and give their feedbacks or reactions regarding the services they have provided. Customers can easily give their feedback through the business’ social media accounts. The business will flourish if good communication is applied.
Another type of communication that can greatly affect the business is how it is delivered. Communication can be manifested in actions, speech and written form. Your way of communication to the people part of the business can either draw motivation or hinder their work performance. The communication towards customers can affect in a way that they will be persuaded to buy or they will not be impressed. Make sure that there is clear communication to every part of your business and it should be a good one as well to incorporate a positive business environment.
In business, equipment for communication is also important. Big businesses use more advanced technology for communication, but for small business, a small business phone system can be of great use to them. This small business phone system is a cheaper alternative for communication and it works efficiently. The small business phone system features the basics such as call holding with music, call forwarding, and voice mails, which are essential to communicating with clients or customers. Employees can use the small business phone system to communicate to others especially when the task requires distribution and delivery. The recent type of small business phone system now offers voice over IP and automatic distribution of calls. These are just some features of the small business phone system that every small business owner will need to operate things smoothly.
Business relationships can be built and maintained through proper communication. Employees become more determined if they communicate well with each other. The working environment will become more positive and efficient if there is proper communication to every person involved in the business.

Although Eastman invented amateur photography, there are very few pictures of him, and he often went unrecognized in his hometown of Rochester, which he had helped become a thriving community.
Eastman was one of the first American industrialists to embrace and implement the concept of employee profit sharing in the United States.
Eastman never married or had a family, citing being too busy and too poor when he was younger.
George Eastman was born on July 12, 1854, in Waterville, New York. In 1880, he opened the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company. His first camera, the Kodak, was sold in 1888 and consisted of a box camera with 100 exposures. Later he offered the first Brownie camera, which was intended for children. By 1927, Eastman Kodak was the largest U.S. company in the industry. Eastman committed suicide in 1932.
Named after his father George Washington Eastman, George Eastman was born on July 12, 1854, in Waterville, New York. George Sr. had started a small business school, Eastman Commercial College, in Rochester, where he moved the family in 1860. But he died suddenly when George Jr. was eight. One of young George's two older sisters was wheelchair-bound from polio and died when George was 16.
George's mother, Mary, took in boarders to support the family, and George dropped out of high school at age 14 to add to the family income. He began as a messenger and office boy for insurance companies and studied accounting at home to qualify for a higher salary. He eventually landed a job as bookkeeper at the Rochester Savings Bank.
When George was 24, he planned to visit Santo Domingo and, on the advice of a colleague, decided to document the trip. But the photography equipment alone was enormous, heavy and costly. He bought all the equipment, but he never took the trip.
Instead he began researching how to make photography less cumbersome and easier for the average person to enjoy. After seeing a formula for a "dry plate" emulsion in a British publication, and getting tutelage from two local amateur photographers, Eastman formulated a gelatin-based paper film and a device for coating dry plates.
He resigned from his bank job after launching his fledgling photography company in April 1880. In 1885, he headed to the patent office with a roll-holder device that he and camera inventor William Hall Walker had developed. This allowed cameras to be smaller and cheaper.
Eastman also came up with the name Kodak, because he believed products should have their own identity, free from association with anything else. So in 1888, he launched the first Kodak camera (a few years later, he amended the company name to Eastman Kodak).
The company slogan was "You press the button, we do the rest," which meant the camera was sent in to the company after the 100 exposures on the roll of film had been used; they developed it and sent it back to the customer. In 1889, Eastman hired chemist Henry Reichenbach to develop a type of flexible film that could be more easily inserted into cameras. Thomas Edison adapted the film for use in the motion-picture camera he was developing, further propelling the success of Eastman's company.
The Brownie camera was launched in 1900 to target new hobbyist photographers — children — and with its $1 price tag, it also became a favorite of servicemen. Eastman supported the military in other ways as well, developing unbreakable glass lenses for gas masks and a special camera for taking pictures from planes during World War I.
In all, Eastman's innovations started the amateur photography craze that is still going strong today.
Although his company was essentially a monopoly for many years, Eastman was not the average corporate industrialist. He was one of the first American industrialists to embrace and implement the concept of employee profit sharing in the United States, and, in addition, he made an outright gift from his own money to each of his workers. In 1919, he added what is known now as stock options.
His generosity extended beyond his own business, as he gave to the struggling Mechanics Institute of Rochester, which became the Rochester Institute of Technology, as well as M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). His high regard for education in general led him to contribute to University of Rochester, and the Hampton and Tuskegee institutes. "The progress of the world depends almost entirely upon education," he said.
Dental clinics both in Rochester and in Europe were also a focus of his concern. "It is a medical fact," he said, "that children can have a better chance in life with better looks, better health and more vigor if the teeth, nose, throat and mouth are taken proper care of at the crucial time of childhood."
In all, it is estimated that Eastman contributed more than $100 million of his wealth for philanthropic purposes during his lifetime.
An avid cyclist, Eastman noticed a progressive immobility, the result of a degenerative condition that involved a hardening of the cells in the lower spinal cord. He also suffered from severe diabetes. So on March 14, 1932, at age 77, he took his own life with a single gunshot to the heart. A note he left said, "My work is done. Why wait?"
He never married or had a family, citing being too busy and too poor when he was younger. He was an enthusiastic art collector on his long trips to Europe, and a music lover, establishing the prestigious Eastman School of Music in 1921 in Rochester, New York.
Overall, it is believed that he enjoyed his life, and he gave countless millions the opportunity to enjoy theirs with lasting memories captured on film.
Isaac Merritt Singer, of Singer Manufacturing Company, invented an affordable sewing machine for use in the home and manufactured it with partner Edward Clark.
Estée Lauder started her own beauty company in 1946. Her business, which includes such product lines as Estée Lauder, MAC Cosmetics and Clinique, continues to thrive to this day.

April 25th of 2014 was the last time we saw rain this year... until today! While I wouldn't qualify it a rain event per se, it is nonetheless moisture falling from the sky and causing the pavement to smoke in relief. We probably won't get anything measurable from this, but we may be able to turn the sprinklers off for a day.
Since April 25th, we have been doing a lot of items to best manage this drought. The highlights are continually punching/ aerating, lots of lime and more to come, continual irrigation audits, and changes to the irrigation programming.
We have solid tined fairways 3 times this summer while roughs and tees have been done twice now. All three surfaces are getting core aerated as we speak and will be followed up by another application of lime. The holes allow for better water penetration and the lime (calcium) is helping with sodium which has risen to 12% of the base saturation on fairways. We were at 9% sodium in May and less than 5% is desirable.
Our irrigation man, Rolando, has been rocking with nozzle adjustments and pressure adjustments which has alleviated 75% of the nozzle issues we've had on the course. Along with his help, we have made changes to the irrigation programming that have helped maximize efficiency. Some of those changes were changing the flow set-point from 1800 gpm to 1300 gpm, only allowing 2 sprinklers to run per irrigation program at one time, and changing the priorities on the programs.
With the later, Tom Jackson of Sierra Pacific/ Rainbird has always stressed this and I never put much into it. The theory is that by changing the sprinklers start time priority, the sprinkler will run at different times every night and the odds of the sprinkler running while windy every night are reduced. I still doesn't make sense to me that it has that big of an impact, but we are seeing the results and I can make sense of that.
It really has been an exciting year learning how to best manage the drought and we have learned a lot that will have forever lasting impacts to how we manage water going into any irrigation season; drought or no drought.
