The Race

The Race

Color Me Rad is coming to a town near you with a tsunami of colour that'll make coloured tears of joy run down your cheeks and will renew your will to live.

Color Me Rad is a 5K that fires off in a blaze of colour bombs, colour cannons, colour mortars, and multi-toned courses that guarantee your outlook will be brighter, your boyfriend will be more affectionate, your boss will finally remember your name, the hair on your head will grow back and the hair on your back will fall out, and your grey outlook will turn green like a spring morning.

Historically, running has only been acceptable when trying to escape the law, personal responsibility, the truth, and grizzly bears.

Instead of running FROM something, get ready to run FOR something at this year's Color Me Rad. Run for the hell of it.

How it Works

How it works

You'll start off with a shirt as pure and white as your granddaddy's dentures, and throughout the run, we'll coat your chaffing thighs with Colour Bombs of blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow until you come out like a tie-dyed hippy on the other side.

Each section of the run adds a new explosion of colour to your clean, painter's palate until you cross the finish line into a final blitzkrieg of colour.

You're probably asking yourselves, "Is this really colour being thrown at us or are the rainbows we're seeing just God's signal that it'll never flood again?"

Glad you aksed. This isn't just smoke and mirrors.  This is non-toxic, non-rash-inducing, coloured cornstarch.* These blasts of starch will change your colour and your demeanor but never your safety or health.

Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Set Visit – Part 1

C.S. Lewis’ novel The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is considered to be a fan favorite, so when Disney dropped the “Chronicles of Narnia” franchise and it looked like there wouldn’t be a third installment of the series, eager followers of the books and movies were highly disappointed – that is until Fox Walden picked up the film and renewed the excitement for Narnia.

The story follows two of the main characters from the first two films and books, Lucy (Georgie Henley) and Edmund (Skandar Keynes). The siblings meet up with their old friend King Caspian (Ben Barnes) to help find the seven lost lords of Narnia. Their cousin Eustace (Will Poulter) unenthusiastically tags along on the adventure as they go on a magical journey through several islands, fulfilling the oath Caspian took to find the lords who were connected to his father.

The film was shot on location in Australia and was the only domestic outlet invited to the set. Not only did we talk to the director Michael Apted, but we were able to speak with the entire cast as well and watch them shoot a couple of scenes.

A lot of the movie was shot on soundstages on the Gold Coast, which is about 45 minutes from Brisbane and 20 minutes from Surfer’s Paradise. The day after we arrived, we hung out at the studio which was nestled between the Warner Brothers’ Movie World and a Wet n’ Wild water park. It was interesting, because all day you could hear people screaming from the roller coasters next door as you walked around the different stages.

We didn’t talk to the cast our first day on set, but we did watch Georgie Henley shoot a scene in the Magician’s Library. She goes into the library to read from the book of spells. She comes across several spells, one of which she starts to read and it starts snowing in the room. The scene was just with her and there was no dialogue, but it was exciting to see because it was going to go in the trailer and it was fun to watch Henley’s reaction when she first saw the set.

When it was time for Henley to start shooting, she was brought in with her eyes close. The shot was set up with her stand-in and was ready when Henley was taken into the room. Apted wanted her original reaction once the cameras started rolling and he definitely got it. When she opened her eyes and saw the beautiful set and the snow, her face lit up and she screamed. This was also done with the young actress in “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” when she first enters Narnia.

In the novel, Lucy reads a spell about being beautiful and another about hearing what other people say about her (in chapter 10), but to add to the magical element of the story in the film, snow was added after she reads the spells. Apted wanted to highlight the magic of Narnia and thought it was a good place in the movie to do so.

The part of the scene we were there for was a cut to Lucy just after she reads the spell. She looks up from the book and realizes that it is snowing. The scene is actually a significant part of the movie because the Magician tells them what is going on in Narnia and what they must do to defeat it. It is also explained why they must find the seven lords of Telmar who were exiled by Caspian’s uncle, around the time that “Prince Caspian” takes place.

A few days later we visited the set of the Dawn Treader which was located at Cleveland Point. The ship was speculator. It was fenced in so that the general public didn’t have access, but people were allowed to stand outside the gate and take pictures or watch whatever was happening on set.

The Dawn Treader took 22 weeks to build on a stage. It was then taken apart and transported over to Cleveland Point (situated on Moreton Bay), where it was reassembled on a gimbal. The gimbal was constructed out of 40 tons of steel and was built on a turntable, so that the filmmakers could change the direction of the boat to follow the sun. The gimbal pitched forward, back and side to side.

The boat was 120 feet long and from the ground to the top of the head and tail was approximately 70 feet high. It was about 30 feet wide and weighed nearly 80 tons. The mast and sail were only built to represent the lower portion of both and will be added in as CGI elements in post production.

We were lucky enough to go on the boat and it was quite an experience. A ladder was placed near the ship and then we walked across a metal bridge one by one until we were on board. The attention to detail was incredible and we got to stand behind Apted for about an hour while he shot a scene with Ben Barnes.

“I tried to keep the sequence of when the children arrive on the boat where they are rescued from the sea. I’ve already shot half of it and I shot it in the sun. It was sunny this morning so we had it all set up to continue but then it got cloudy so we had to think fast and find another scene to start which I could shoot in the clouds,” Apted told Instead he shot the crew asking Caspian and Drinian (the Captain), to turn the boat around and head back to Narnia.

After spending the afternoon with Apted on the Dawn Treader, we had the opportunity to chat with the cast. You can read our interview with Apted below and we’ll be posting the cast interviews soon, so stay tuned. When you first met Skandar and Georgie what impressed you about them?
Michael Apted: I met them a long time ago when they were shooting “Caspian.” I went out to Prague to meet with them when they were thinking of giving me the job and I met Andrew [Adamson]. I just thought they were both very natural. They’re both very smart too I thought, so I was very impressed with them. I’m even more impressed the more I spend time with them.

CS: Since they’re both minors, is their schedule challenging at times?
Apted: They can only work five hours a day and I usually have one of them or Eustace in every scene. There’s only so many hours I can shoot because they have to have three hours and schooling and an hour for lunch. It’s a lot of pressure and we just have so little shooting time on this film.

CS: I understand the first two films had much more shooting time so how difficult has that been for you?
Apted: Our budget is much smaller than the other two. You get squeezed at both ends. You have less shooting days, but you also have shorter shooting days so it’s less money to spend.

CS: This is your first time working with CG characters. How’s it going?
Apted: That part of it doesn’t really start yet. The actual only animated character is Reepicheep. We put them into scenes and leave space for their bit, but working out exactly what their expressions are and how they do their lines is really a big job in post.

CS: Andrew Adamson acted out the CG characters for the cast. What’s your approach?
Apted: I cast Reepicheep with an actor. I thought it would build a relationship with the actor. It could be done by a professional actor so that’s what I decided to do. Whether or not I’ll use that voice at the end, I don’t know, but it is someone who will be there all the time doing that character. Plus I thought it’d personalize the character a bit more.

CS: What are some of the challenges of filming a movie that mostly takes place on water?
Apted: When I was preparing the film, I went and talked to a lot of other directors who have worked on boats and every one of them said don’t go on the water. We were mindful of that so we wanted it to seem as if we were on water, but decided not to go on the water but film the boat by water so we could have access to it and not get stuck at sea or whatever. You’ve got lots of challenges of being out in the ocean in the wind and the change of weather and all that sort of stuff, but we’re very organized and we don’t go into the sea. If you do go into the sea I think that would be very difficult because you don’t have control over the tides.

CS: The Dawn Treader is one of the most speculator sets I’ve ever seen. Can you talk about your vision and how you wanted it to look?
Apted: It’s all based on the book – the look of it. It’s an iconic image. We wanted to deliver to the people who love the book. There are a few changes we had to make, but there are certain things you do want to hang on to. I thought the look of the Dawn Treader – that iconic image of it is what we wanted to keep so that was the basis of it. It was never going to sail so it never had to float. The challenge really is that it’s supposed to be rooted in Narnia in the story, but we don’t go to Narnia – this is a journey so the boat carries all of imprints of Narnian life, so all the decoration and all that sort of stuff. It also had to be practical so I could have room to shoot. As you’ve seen, it’s a pretty small space. I’m going to be on that boat for about 30 days and I’m sure it’s going to wear thin.

CS: How close to the book are you staying?
Apted: In some areas very close and in other areas not at all. The book is lovely because it’s just a lot of different stories, but that doesn’t work in a movie. You’ve got to have a drive to do this. You have to keep the audiences’ attention. You don’t just need one chapter in night at bed. You need the next one so there needs to be a drive to it and that’s one of the challenges we had. It took a long time to figure that out.

CS: What is it about the Narnia franchise that you love?
Apted: I think they’re good stories. From a director’s point of view, they’re very different stories so when you come onto it you do sort of have your own story. You’re not just following someone else’s story. I think they’re children [stories] but they have adult themes. I like animals and I like treating animals as adults and treating children as adults and things like that. They have a good sort of serious quality to them. They’re not just lightweight, there’s a substance to them. They’re charming and funny and imaginative.

CS: Were you looking for another franchise to be a part of?
Apted: I was doing another film for the same company, “Amazing Grace,” and that had gone well so it was really just a question of being at the right place at the right time. They were looking for a director and I was working [with them]. I really enjoyed doing the Bond [movie – “The World Is Not Enough”] and I was looking to do another big film. I thought a franchise, because it would have a seriously good budget and also have a big audience. I’ve spent a lot of time doing smaller films and sometimes they are hard to sell.

CS: “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” is considered to be one of the fans’ favorite books, so does that add pressure to you as a director?
Apted: Yes, and that’s one of the issues of doing a franchise is great expectation so you really do have to deliver for an audience. You don’t want to mess the franchise up. It’s great there’s a lot of people out there waiting for it–you know you’re going to get an audience–but also you don’t want to disappoint that audience so you’re very aware of the weight of expectations on you.

CS: Do you hope to change the look of the movie from the first two in anyway or keep it consistent?
Apted: The point of this is that it’s a completely different story. It’s not like Harry Potter or even Bond. My story couldn’t be more different from Andrew’s. His is sort of a political film with a darkness and great battles, all that sort of drama. Mine is a magical journey. I think my film is more cinematic than the one before. They’re really completely different stories so you’re not just coming in someone else’s shoes, you’re just carrying it on.

CS: As far as the various islands go, what’s your influence or reference for the visuals?
Apted: When I started on the film, the film was going to be a big location film, but that proved to be too expensive so we changed it to more of a studio film. It gives you more control, but it gave us more design challenges because we could just go and find a suitable place to shoot. So I suppose the vision came from what the story demanded. I also wanted to make all the islands look different so you felt your own journey and that’s been the biggest challenge. It’s a mixture of real places and studio places. I hope I can give a sense of a real journey. The challenge is to have enough variety bearing in mind that a lot of it was shot on stage and to convince people we’re on a magical trip.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader hits 3D and 2D theaters on December 10.

Form ADV, Valuations, and Timing for New Registrations

With hundreds (thousands?) of private fund managers set to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission next quarter, the new form ADV is on the IARD system and ready for you to start uploading information.

I noticed the first problem.

Question 5 asks you to “determine your regulatory assets under management based on the current market value of the assets as determined within 90 days prior to the date of filing this Form ADV.” I expect most private fund managers to wait until the filing deadline in the middle of February. That means third quarter valuations, presumably accurate as of September 30, will be older than 90 days. For private equity firms with very illiquid assets like interests in real estate and private companies, they are unlikely to have valuations as of December 31 finalized by the middle of February. Even if they do have final valuations, they probably have not yet disclosed the final valuations to the investors in their funds.

With a normal end of March annual filing deadline for Form ADV, this is less likely to be a problem. But initial registrants need to file 45 days ahead of that deadline to meet the SEC’s 45 approval period.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but I’m wondering if anyone else has thought about this issue and how they are handling it. One option is to use the third quarter valuations and be worried about getting a negative SEC response. Another is to get valuations finalized and disclosed earlier than usual.

I’d appreciate any of your thoughts on this. You can leave a comment or send an email to

Read Frequently Asked Questions

This webinar on Contamination Control will discuss, how the micro lab can be more effectively utilized to prevent or head off microbial contamination issues as well as effectively resolve problems like recurring micro failures, investigations, and ineffective CAPAs.

Why Should You Attend:

The Microbiology Lab must take leadership in contamination control support for production because it is the hub of the necessary technical expertise. This broad manufacturing support role covers many areas, including routine raw material and product testing, disinfectant/sanitant qualification, water and compressed gas testing, environmental monitoring, microbiological “awareness training” of production operators, etc. Perhaps their most difficult leadership role is in contamination control investigations where product is at risk, manufacturing may be at a standstill, and the pressure to resume operation with a quick (and possibly incorrect) fix is tremendous. In these situations, the microbiology lab can either gain or lose credibility in the eyes of manufacturing management depending on the timeliness of its success in discovering and resolving the problems.

This presentation will discuss these roles and how the lab can assure these activities are performed in a manner that facilitates root cause excursion investigations and avoids the lab or its personnel becoming the inadvertent cause of the excursions.

Areas Covered in the Seminar:

  • Why the microbiology lab must lead in contamination control.
    • Lab personnel have microbiological knowledge and expertise; QA usually doesn't
    • Lab uses tools and techniques able to assess contamination and sources
    • Lab uses appropriate controls to detect and prevent testing problems
  • Routine contamination evaluation activities.
    • RM and Product testing
    • Environmental monitoring
    • Water, steam, and compressed gas monitoring
    • Sanitizer and disinfectant evaluations
  • Microbiological awareness/aseptic process training for operators.
  • Root cause microbial contamination investigations.
    • Ability to interpret investigation data and microbial impact
    • Ability to withstand production pressure for hasty, potentially faulty conclusions
    • Truly understand cause(s) of problem so can derive effective CAPA
  • Microbiological conscience for the company

Who will Benefit:

This webinar will be valuable for all companies that operate WFI or Purified Water systems, particularly for those in FDA and EMEA regulated industries, including Medical Devices, Diagnostics, Pharmaceuticals, and Biologics fields, as well as consumer products and cosmetics companies. The employees who will benefit include:

  • QA managers and personnel involved in investigations of excursions and preparing CAPAs
  • QC managers and personnel involved in sampling, testing, and trending chem and micro data from water systems
  • Utility operators and their managers involved in maintaining and sanitizing water systems
  • Validation managers and personnel
  • QA managers and Regulatory Affairs personnel involved in defending water system operations and quality data to FDA and EMEA inspectors and outside auditors
  • Consultants and Troubleshooters

Zahara is a South African singer-songwriter and poet. She started to sing in her school’s choir at the age of six and at age nine, she was told to join the senior choir because of her strong voice.

Zahara released her debut album “Loliwe” in 2011 which proved to be a big success as it went Platinum in 13 days and went double platinum after just 17 days, selling over 100,000 copies in South Africa.

On the 1st of May 2012, at the annual South African Music Awards, Zahara won 8 awards, including best female artist and album of the year. Prior to the awards a media storm broke out about the state of her finances which were allegedly being poorly handled by her record company. Her record company TS records vehemently denied the allegations.

Her music is classified loosely as “Afrosoul” and she sings in her native language, Xhosa, as well as in English. Her music has been described as a mixture between the styles that have been popularized by Tracy Chapman, India Arie and the Nigerian singer Asa.

Zahara’s debut album “Loliwe” was released in 2011. The first issue sold out within 72 hours and nineteen days later the album reached double platinum status in South Africa when it surpassed 100,000 sales. This made her the second musician after Brenda Fassie to reach this figure in such record time.

It's a few hours early here in Arizona,
but I am getting a head start on the New Year
by linking up with Farley from

for the first CURRENTLY for 2015!

The house is finally quiet!  My daughter has been on a Castle marathon since Christmas.  She LOVES that show and got all the previous 6 seasons for Christmas.  She's been watching ever since!

I love that I do not have to get up and go into work every morning!  Although I am still "working" on my TPT and blog and volunteering for CASA and the Foster Care Review Board, my days are much more relaxed, and I don't have to dread the end of my vacation time and going back to work.

I have ideas for so many projects that I am having trouble going to sleep at night because my brain won't shut off!

It's a COLD (at least by Phoenix standards) and rainy day today, and I would love to curl up with a good book and a hot toddy, but there's just too much to do...

I love having all the Christmas decorations up and looking at the tree (minus the presents of course,)

but it's time for it all to come down and be put away until next year.

YES to making myself go to the gym regularly.
I NEED to!  I HAVE to!
But really, I think exercise is just plain BORING.
But I will get back to it, starting tomorrow,
...or maybe the day after that.

MAYBE (Hopefully) making more money on TPT.
Now that I am working on TPT more or less full-time,
bring on those CHA-CHINGS!

I WISH we could move to San Antonio right NOW!
We still have to wait a few years,
but I want to go

Your turn!  Here's the form.

Head on over and link up for yourself and see what everyone else is up to on this New Year's Eve.
Please be safe tonight!

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas!

Here's a bit of my Christmas Craftiness from the weekend...

Inspired by these pins from Pinterest,

here is MY version.

It's hard to see in the picture, but there are white Christmas lights in the buckets that light them up with twinkling lights.  Here's what they look like beside my front door.

They turned out so pretty!

Next up was this inspiration...

it became this...

A glass brick filled with white lights and red and clear glass marbles.
It's the perfect night light for the bathroom!

Here's the towel rack in my bathroom
(Christmas towels are not up yet.)

And finally, Gingerbread ornaments for my students.  I make these every year to go along with our Gingerbread unit.

They are 2" terra cotta pots with wooden doll heads and glass marbles.
I love making these every year!

I am also linking up with Michelle at Fabulous in First for her Christmas Questionnaire

1. When do you decorate?  It's an ongoing project for me.  I would LOVE to have everything up the weekend after Thanksgiving, but that NEVER happens.  It all depends on when hubby gets the stuff down from the attic and we have time to get a tree.  I spent this past weekend getting most of it done.  Here's the tree...

2. Elf or no elf?  No Elf for me, but I do love checking in on the escapades of everyone else's.

3. Christmas Cookies or No Baking for You?  I do cookies for a cookie exchange, but that's about it.  My daughter is the baker in the family now.

4. Favorite Holiday Tradition?  I love driving around with my family looking at all the Christmas light displays.  In the classroom, it is our Polar Express Celebration.

5. Favorite Christmas Movie?  Prancer!  I love showing this movie to my students.  At home, I am a sucker for almost any cheesy Christmas movie.  I love to watch them with my daughter.

6. Snow or No Snow?  NO SNOW for this warm weather girl!   This is my idea of sledding!

...or a snow white beach!

7. Favorite Christmas Song?  I love 'em all!  Here is this year's favorite.  I just love Pentatonix!

8. Favorite Gifts to Give and Get?   I LVE to give presents!  I love finding little things that other people will enjoy.  At this point in my life, there is not much I want or need.  I just enjoy being with friends and family.  I love the gifts that students have made for me over the years and the jewels and stuffed animal that have come from their own collections because they wanted to give something special.

Head on over to Michelle's blog and check out the other responses too!

I will leave you with these 2 new writing activities that I finished up yesterday, too.

The Sunday Scoop and Operation E.L.F.

Happy Sunday Friends!

With a death in my family this morning, it has been a rough day, but I wanted to end it on a happy note by connecting with all of you, my online family.

First of all,
tell the people you love,
"I Love You!"
You never know when it may be your last chance.

I'm linking up with my friends at Teaching Trio

Because of  the death of my aunt this morning, I rushed out of the house just after we had finished buying our Christmas tree.  Hubby got down all of the Christmas stuff out of the attic while I was up north and got the tree set up.  Now all I have to do is DECORATE!

I have my Christmas cards and the stamps, just have to get them DONE!

I have ideas for 3 new Christmas/Winter products swimming around in my head.
Hope to have time to work on those this week.

Because of family issues I did not get last month's newsletter done and am running late on this month's, but I WILL get it done!

I love my kids more than life itself and they are growing up WAY too fast!  I want to spend as much time with them as I can.

If you have not been participating in Creative Clips' Operation E.L.F.,
you are missing out!

In honor of Operation E.L.F I have created this fun freebie for you!

Students write a letter to Santa telling him why they want to be one of his elves.
Then the get to "ELF Themself!"
This is a fun activity for these crazy weeks before Christmas when you just want to keep them busy (in a meaningful way, of course!)

To grab your copy, click here or on the image above.

The Rarest Cat Needs Your Voice

Canada lynx in Washington are still losing ground, literally, that is: lynx habitat. Fortunately, the US Fish and Wildlife Service has recently released a habitat plan for lynx recovery. A federal judge determined that an earlier version was politically tainted and required revision. Unfortunately, the new plan doesn't go as far as this great cat needs. Particularly important in northeastern Washington State are lands in the Columbia Highlands in the Kettle River Range (including the Wedge) and Selkirk Mountains (Little Pend Oreille and Salmo-Priest).

You can make a difference. The agency is now accepting comments on its revised habitat plan for recovery of Canada lynx. Please send a comment by April 28, 2008. Critical habitat designation does not prevent management activities, such as logging, from taking place in lynx habitat–but it does require that a biologist be at the table when land-use decisions are being made. And that, we think, is a simple and sensible step for recovery of the rarest of the three wild cat species remaining in our state.

Volunteers pull scotchbroom on native prairie in southwestern Washington

Volunteers Restore Prairies, and More

People who contribute their time and energy are meaningful to the work we do. In March, Conservation Northwest staff and volunteers joined the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to restore critical prairie habitat in the Scatter Creek Wildlife Area, 20 miles south of Olympia, pulling scotch broom from a piece of prairie that now represents one of the rarest habitat types in our state. Today scarcely 3 percent remains of the original prairie once found throughout Washington. These remnant oak-woodland prairies contain unique assemblages of native plants, including blue camas, water howellia, and Oregon white oak. They are also home to wildlife specially adapted to the prairies, such as the endangered mardon skipper butterfly, streaked horned lark, and Mazama pocket gopher.

Making Meadows into Mudholes

As the Wenatchee World reporter put it, "One night of destructive fun has altered the course of nature in a peaceful meadow." Local wildlife officers called it "the most egregious act of nature destruction" they've ever seen by off-road vehicles. That's bad press for a movement whose members claim to be responsible users of the land. Vehicles and their riders opened up underground springs that feed Orr Creek in the Stemilt Basin, rerouting the creek and damaging irrigation culverts and intakes used by the local reclamation district to supply water to Wenatchee orchards.

Because of their power and speed, off-road vehicles can be wildly destructive to natural areas if their owners ride off-trail. When surveyed, 50 percent of dirt bikers and ATV riders say they prefer to ride off established trails. Off-road use has been steadily on the rise in Okanogan and Ferry counties in eastern Washington, and the worries of local residents go well beyond sound pollution–to the wear and tear on public roads, spread of noxious weeds, and safety of children and of other trail users.

Hazel-Green Film Fest

If you love nature and you love film, you’ll love the Hazel Wolf Environmental Film Festival, May 1-4, 2008, at the University of Washington in Seattle. This popular event features 50 films and shorts, interesting speakers, and filmmaking workshops. Conservation Northwest is proud to cosponsor this year's fest. We're proud too, to note our historic connection with two of the driving influences, people we know well: Dave Atcheson, former director of Biodiversity Northwest and our coalition effort The Cascades Conservation Partnership, and Demis Foster, also formerly of The Partnership as well as the Ancient Forest Roadshow.

"Patriotic Millionaires" - Give Me a Break

This video just showed up in my email inbox a few minutes ago and I can't help sharing it with you. It's entitled "Patriotic Millionaires" and, of course, there is a website that accompanies it:

Here's the video:

If you haven't lost all of your cookies yet after watching that video, here's a partial list of people who have signed the pledge to pay more. This list can be found on one of the supporter websites of Patriotic Millionaires, called: Wealth for the Common Good. Wealth for the Common Good is one of the two "partners" listed at the bottom of the Patriotic Millionaires website. The other one is The Agenda Project.

• Chuck Denny, Jr., retired CEO, ADC Communications, MN
• Arul Menezes, principal architect at Microsoft, WA
• Bernard Rapoport, Chairman Emeritus, American Income Life Insurance Co., TX
• William Collins, former mayor of Norwalk, Conn. & CEO of Minuteman Media, CT
• Todd Achilles, managing member at Balius Ventures LLC, WA
• Jody Wiser, Tax Fairness Oregon, OR
• John Steel, former mayor of Telluride, Colo. & attorney, CO
• Eric Schoenberg, private investor and professor at Columbia University, NJ
• Albert Francke, independent director of companies, NY
• David Krakow, school teacher, DC
• Stan Storscher, legislative director, SPEEA, IFPTE Local 2001, WA
• John Burbank, director, Economic Opportunity Initiative, WA
• Susan Estep, financial advisor, MT
• Kris Alman, former physician and activist, OR
• Jonathan C. Lewis, CEO of Opportunity Collaboration and Microcredit Enterprises, CA
• John Harrington, Harrington Investments, Inc., CA
• Drummond Pike, CEO, Tides Inc, CA
• Roy Ulrich, Attorney and radio, CA
• Michael Sherraden, Center for Social Development, MO
• Paul Grundy, IBM Corporation’s Global Director, IBM Healthcare Transformation, NY
• Sandee Stewart, Sandee Stewart Television, CA
• Rene Balcer, writer and producer, CA

The only name I recognize is the 6th one from the bottom, the one in bold and italics. Drummond Pike has been mentioned many times by Glenn Beck for being the head of the Tides Foundation, which is funded in-part by notorious George "Spooky DUDE" Soros.

By the way, "Patriotic Millionaires," you can always give the government more of your money anytime you'd like by visiting the government website Until you donate to the national debt via that website, how can you really call yourselves "patriotic?" If you would donate money there, perhaps other Americans who cherish their freedom could be left alone by the greedy, wasteful hand of the government tax collectors. Now THAT would be a service you could perform that actually could be considered "patriotic." Until then, stop bastardizing the word. Thank you.

Now for some "Spooky Dude" in action:

If you wish to be notified of my future blog posts, please subscribe to my blog via the "Follow by email" box near the top of this page. I will not see your email address, or even if you subscribed. You will NOT be spammed. If I make 10 posts in one day, you'll only receive ONE email. Thanks!

Only 100 (Parry) Book Sets to Go

By Robert Parry
December 10, 2010

Some months ago, I committed to writing one more book on the political/media crisis facing the United States if we could sell 1,000 sets of my last three books. It's taken longer than I would have hoped but we now have only 100 sets to go.

So, please take a few minutes to place your order for the three-book set (Lost History, Secrecy & Privilege, and Neck Deep) for the deeply discounted price of only $29 (postage included) for the first set. Each additional set is only $20 more.

Our goal is to sell the final 100 sets before the end of the year. They also would make an excellent (and inexpensive) holiday gift for that history buff on your list.

You can make your order:

--By credit card (Mastercard/Visa) by going to our donation site and putting in a $29 charge. (You can follow up with an e-mail to consortnew@aol.com to give us your mailing address, or if that address and the billing address for the credit card are the same, we’ll automatically assume that any $29 “donation” is intended for a book order and ship it there. Or we’ll assume a $49 charge is for two three-book sets, etc. Non-U.S. orders should add $10 more for extra postage.)

--By PayPal, make a payment to our account which is named after our e-mail address: “consortnew@aol.com” (Please include your mailing address in the PayPal message.)

--By check made out to The Media Consortium; Suite 102-231; 2200 Wilson Blvd.; Arlington, VA 22201.

These three books contain important history about the recent era. For instance,

--Lost History lays out the factual record of CIA-tolerated drug trafficking by Ronald Reagan’s Nicaraguan contra rebels in the 1980s and the parallel story of how the Reagan administration built an Orwellian propaganda apparatus that performed “perception management” on the American people.

--Secrecy & Privilege explains how George H.W. Bush rose to power through his service to Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal; describes Bush's bloody year as chief of the CIA; and exposes his secret effort to undermine President Jimmy Carter’s Iran-hostage talks in 1980.

--Neck Deep takes this remarkable story of the Bush Family's rise forward to George W. Bush seizing the highest office in land with the help of the Right’s powerful propaganda machinery, the systemic failure of the mainstream U.S. news media, and the coup d’etat of Republican political cronies on the U.S. Supreme Court handing Bush the White House.

These solidly reported histories should be part of every library. And you can help by obtaining a set for yourself, a friend or a public or school library.

Thanks so much for your support.

BBC Profile: Gianfranco Fini

BBC Profile: Gianfranco Fini

Gianfranco Fini, president of Italy's Chamber of Deputies, is a polished, intelligent and witty political operator.

The 58-year-old is also leader of a party that traces its origins directly to the Fascist Movement of Italy's one-time dictator, Benito Mussolini.

In the 1990s Mr Fini transformed his party from a far-right fringe group to a mainstream centre-right political party, embracing the "social-market" economy.

For the past 16 years, he has been a key ally of the current Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and was widely seen as his 'heir apparent'.

But since 2009, Mr Fini has become increasingly critical of Mr Berlusconi's policies and behaviour and by November 2010 was urging the Italian leader to step down.

There is no doubt that he and his supporters feel he is the best candidate to take over the reins of power.

As a teenager, Gianfranco Fini became involved with the youth front of the Italian Social Movement (MSI) which had been formed after World War II by supporters of Mussolini.

The story goes that the youngster joined up after being outraged that a Communist demonstration at a cinema had stopped him from seeing a John Wayne movie, The Green Berets.

He studied psychology at La Sapienza University in Rome and after military service and a brief career as a journalist, he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1983 as a member of the MSI.

Within five years he was to lead the party, and as late as 1994 he was extolling the virtues of the fascist tradition and proclaiming: "Mussolini was the greatest Italian statesman of the 20th Century."

But in the early '90s, the Blackshirts were already making way for double-breasted suits.

Just before entering government for the first time in 1994, Mr Fini appeared to distance himself from Mussolini's Blackshirts.

...I was born in 1952. I am a post-fascist and I hope that Italy stops talking about fascism and anti-fascism, he said....

The culmination of the party's shift to the mainstream came when the party merged with elements of the disbanded Christian Democrats in January 1995 to form the National Alliance.

Not everyone was convinced by the transformation.

A visit to Auschwitz in 1999 turned into something of an embarrassment, when he was pelted with eggs by local Polish anarchists.

Mr Fini has made overtures to Italy's small Jewish community and on a visit to Israel in 2003, he described Mussolini's rule as a "shameful chapter in the history of our people".

He said many Italians had acted with "laziness, indifference, complicity and cowardice" in not opposing the anti-Jewish laws introduced in 1938 in imitation of Nazi Germany.

Associates of the bespectacled chain-smoker say his shift to the centre is genuine.

Mr Fini was said to be profoundly affected by his exposure to moderate conservatism as a member of the convention headed by Valery Giscard d'Estaing, a former French president, that drew up the draft European Union constitution.

His time as foreign minister, from 2004-2006, is also reported to have influenced him.

Some say the final tie to his fascist past was broken when he separated in 2007 from his first wife Daniela, a gun enthusiast who he had met when they were both in the MSI's youth front.

He is now married to Elisabetta Tulliani, a lawyer 20 years younger than him.

Mr Fini's tactics have positioned the National Alliance to take advantage of the demise of the Christian Democrat party, which had dominated Italian politics since the end of the World War II and collapsed under a tide of corruption scandals in the 1990s.

The AN moved into the old Christian Democrat electoral strongholds across Italy's poor south but with northern outposts too.

His political metamorphosis has made some enemies on the Right, and he has been given the nickname Comrade Fini by those who feel he has veered far to the left.

Happier times: Silvio Berlusconi and Gianfranco Fini conferring at a party meeting in March 2009 In 2003 he surprised both his friends and his rivals with a proposal to grant illegal immigrants the right to vote - an idea more commonly associated with the Italian left.

Other policies, for example on abortion and stem cell research, have also come in for criticism.

When Mr Berlusconi got back into power in 2008, the National Alliance leader got the post of president of the Chamber of Deputies (Speaker of Parliament), a position which is the third most powerful in Italian politics.

Since then he has been fierce in his defence of the rights of parliament and his criticism of his erstwhile patron.

"The best leader the Italian left never had" is how The Independent's Rome correspondent described him.

...He has reinvented himself as a conviction liberal: the champion of women and immigrants, the enemy of autocracy, says Peter Popham....

Tensions between the two men exploded publicly in an argument at the party congress in April 2010 which was being televised live.

But it is only in recent months that the rift has appeared more permanent, with Mr Fini trying to position himself as both Mr Berlusconi's successor and his most outspoken opponent.

Georgia May Jagger's new collection for Hudson jeans was inspired by her mother.

The 19-year-old rising catwalk star - who is also the face of the brand - revealed she loves the style of her mother Jerry Hall, so much that she has "practically devoted this line to her".

Georgia said: "I once said my parents were embarrassing as everyone's parents tend to be. It got taken in a negative way when really it was all quite light hearted. My mum is such a great role model. I've practically devoted this line to her. To have such a long career is amazing.

"It all started with me looking at pictures of people wearing jeans I admired, like mum in the 70s. I always wanted a pair of jeans with lace up the side so it was always an aim to create a pair that incorporated that but were easy to wear. I also really wanted to do mid-rise shapes - I think they look much more flattering. Then I started collecting fabrics and looking at colours."

While Georgia is happy with her denim line, she admitted she would love to branch out into other areas of design.

The blonde beauty - whose father is Rolling Stone frontman Sir Mick Jagger - explained to "I am just so thrilled to be doing this at such a young age but I wouldn't mind trying something else. I'd like to do shoes or maybe dresses. I'd really like to learn how to cut a beautiful dress."

Easy Ways To Stay On Your Diet!

by Adara

Ok, so I may not be the best person to talk about staying on diets, when I try to go on diets I often find myself thinking aloud, and it always goes something like this, “What’s the harm in one little doughnut? It’s just a few hundred calories!” or “Hey, I’ll just start my diet tomorrow! What’s one more day? Besides, I’d rather start my diet on a Monday than a Sunday! Who starts diets on Sundays!? *stuffs face with chocolate*”

However, with at least twelve tried diets under my belt, I think I have found the key to diet success. It’s this teeny thing called self-control. I may not have a lot of it, but I’m trying. With the help of my best friend, we have started an over-the-summer diet, so we look super fabulous this fall and everyone comments on our summer transformation. Now, we did have a spring diet going, so we could get bikini ready, but, uh…yeah…we totally bombed that. Hey–we didn’t know about self-control then! But now we do, and we’re ready to stay on our diet!

Instead of indulging in pancakes drenched in calories syrup, we have whole-wheat toaster waffles with fresh strawberries and cool-whip (the calorie free kind) for breakfast. For a snack, we have something with fiber in it, to hold us over until lunch. Something like an apple. For lunch we skip the Mickey D’s and head straight for Chicky F’s. A grilled chicken sandwich and a fruit cup hits the spot.

As a late afternoon/early evening snack, we indulge. It may no be filling, it sure keeps us happy! It’s a square of chocolate. Yes a square. Off of an entire bar. I go for dark chocolate and she goes for chocolate with peanuts. Only a square, and never more. No matter how much one begs for more, the other must say “Hecks to the NO!”.

For a healthy dinner we stray from heavy things like red meat or super starchy foods, and instead try lighter items like Romain lettuce salads with cherry tomatoes, sliced carrots, and a dab of dressing. She might die if she didn’t have ranch, so we do it the “cool” (ie-lame and I wish i could drink it instead) way and dip the tines of our forks into the dressing.

For dessert we love us some fresh fruit! Watermelon or cantelope, blueberries or raspberries. We don’t limit the amount of fruits or vegetables we eat, because they’re our favorite and as long as they’re eaten without being drenched in sugars or syrups, or packaged in cans, we eat as much as we want, whenever we want.

So, I guess the key to diets would be self-control and the key to self-control is help, and I guess that help must be my best-friend. Anyways, the moral of the blog is: If you wanna stay on a diet, you’re gonna need some support. You don’t need to spend your Tuesday and Thursday nights at your local Over-Eaters Anonymous (my Over Eaters Anonymous is right next to the bakery-darn them to heck! Aren’t they always!) or shell out you’re hard earned cash to Weight Watchers, you just need a good friend.

My Homemade Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce {First of My Thanksgiving Post}

Homemade Whole Berry Cranberry, the question may be why homemade?  Believe me, you will never buy canned ever again.  This recipe is fabulous, fresh cranberries, pomegranate juice, dried cherries, and pecans.  The pectin in the berries brings it all together in this amazing thick sauce.

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Homemade Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce has been on our Thanksgiving dinner table for years. Mother use to make it from the recipe on the back of the bag of cranberries.  I decided a couple of years ago that I wanted to add some sweet tartness flavor, so I added pomegranate juice and dried cherries along with some chopped pecans for some crunch.

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

The family loved the new flavor combination of my spin on an old recipe, and it has become our new tradition for our Thanksgiving meal.  Don't you just love making new traditions?  Especially with the next generation that is coming up.

I have to mention that one of my favorite sandwiches during the holidays is home-style turkey and traditional dressing with cranberry-relish, mayonnaise and leaf lettuce on multigrain bread!  I am so excited and looking forward to the holidays!

Homemade Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce

  • 12 oz. fresh whole cranberries
  • 8 oz. pomegranate juice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 7 oz. dried cherries
  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped

Bring to boil in a medium saucepan, cranberries, pomegranate juice and sugar.

Boil 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, being sure to be careful with cranberries popping, not to burn yourself.  The mixture will thicken as it cooks.

Add cherries and pecans and mix well.  Pour into a bowl and refrigerate.

Join me for  Weekend Potluck and all these fabulous parties!

Galaxy Note 4 pictures leaked

The folks over at GSM Arena have released onto the interwebs what they are stating are leaked images of the upcoming Galaxy Note 4.
Galaxy Note 4 pictures leaked

As listener’s of our podcast will know my device of choice is my Note 3 and as I stated the Note 4 has got to be more of a spec hike for me to think about changing device’s.

According to the leaked images, it appears that Samsung has refined the Note 3′s design and not a complete re-design. Samsung has managed to reduce the bezel on the front of the Note 4 to a minimum.
Galaxy Note 4 pictures leaked

The company has retained its faux-leather like plastic back, though this time it seems to have a different texture to it, also there seems to be dual speakers on the bottom of the device. As for the chrome ring running around the edge It’s not clear if it is made of actual metal or simply plastic as with other Galaxy device’s.
The images also confirm the presence of a heart-rate monitor on the device, as originally seen on the Galaxy S5.

Samsung will be unveiling the Galaxy Note 4 next month on September 3 at Berlin in IFA.

Cassia-derived Polymers for Improved Silicone Deposition in Hair

April 12, 2011 | Contact Author | By: Katie Schaefer
Fill out my online form.
  • Article
  • Keywords/Abstract

The Lubrizol Corp.’s Noveon Consumer Specialties has introduced cassia-derived polymers for improved deposition, enhanced conditioning and distinctive sensory attributes in hair cleansing formulations. Sensomer CT polymers (INCI: Cassia Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride), naturally derived from the ayurvedic plant cassia, are said to meet the needs of a variety of hair types. The polymers are offered in two varieties, Sensomer CT-250 Polymer and Sensomer CT-400 Polymer, the difference being that CT-250 has a charge level of 2.5%, while CT-400 has a charge level of 4.0%.

While CT-250 has a medium average charge density, dispersion viscosity and clarity in surfactant chassis, CT-400 has a high average charge density with low dispersion viscosity and clarity in surfactant chassis. CT-250 has a lubricious feel in a wet stage and a smooth feel in a dry stage, whereas CT-400 has a clean feel in a wet stage and a soft feel in a dry stage.

According to the company, the polymer line helps to deposit silicone better than traditional cationic conditioning polymers. This enables the use of lower levels of silicone and cationic polymer to deliver equivalent or better overall conditioning performance.

The company conducted a sensory panel test and found that shampoo formulations based on the cassia-derived polymers outperformed formulations based on cationic guar and polyquaternium-10, with regard to comb force reduction and feel in both the wet and dry states.

The enhanced conditioning imparted by the cassia-derived polymers reportedly allows for improved wet and dry combing of hair. Additionally, the polymer line is said to enhance foam richness in surfactant-based cleansers, is substantive, and reportedly controls frizz to leave hair looking smooth and silky.

In addition to hair cleansing formulations, the polymers can be formulated into hair treatments and conditioners, body washes and facial cleaners.

12 Things Men Think While Receiving a Blow Job

GettyGetty Images

Honestly, 90 percent of the time we're just thinking, "Please do something with my balls," and, "Awesome," but let's get weird with the other 10 percent.

1. Yeah, she's about to put my penis in her mouth. OK, play it cool, don't force it. Just let it happen. OK, YEAH, I AM GETTING A BLOW JOB THIS IS AMAZING THIS IS THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE I'M GOING TO CALL MY FAMILY (I'M NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO CALL MY FAMILY).

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

2. Wait, can she see my butthole right now? What does it look like? I'm realizing I've never seen my own butthole and it's kind of freaking me out. I'm going to get a mirror after this and check it out. No, I'm not. I'm going to leave this one a mystery.

3. What does my penis taste like?

4. This is great, but it would be better if I pulled at her hair really hard and started mouth-fucking her brains out. Oh, it doesn't look like she likes it. That's weird. I don't understand why.

5. Do you remember that time your dog got really sick, and you had to put it to sleep, and the way it — WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW YOU ARE LITERALLY GETTING A BLOW JOB.

6. Am I taking too long? No, probably not. I'm sure she doesn't mind.

7. *High-fiving self in my own mind. Two of me are running toward each other in an open field, Sound of Music-style, high-fiving the fuck out of each other.*

8. She's really good at this. Wait, is she too good at this? No. No, she is just the right amount of good at this.

9. I sort of feel like I have to come, but I don't want to tell her too early and have her stop. No, I'm definitely going to come. Tell her! OK, wait, no — I don't have to come yet. Alright, dude, you just yelled "I'mgonnac—" and stopped yourself by turning it into a weird grunt/moan hybrid. I don't think she noticed.

10. Ok, now I'm really going to come. I have to make sure I say it really sexy, though. I don't want to ruin the mood. Ok, great. I said it and I think that sounded like a robot voice but at least she knows.

11. Oh, awesome. She swallowed it. NO, DON'T TRY AND KISS ME.

12. I'm going to sleep.

Makeup How-To: Sexy, Smoky Eyes & Dark Lips

This look is smokin' hot.

Elizabeth Griffin

Create this sultry, smoky eye and bordeaux-colored lip look with the help of these tips from makeup artist Lauren Cosenza.

Elizabeth Griffin
1. Line your eyes. Start by lining your eyes with a black eyeliner along your top and bottom lashlines and inside your waterline. Try Josie Maran Black Eyeliner.

2. Add dimension to your eyelid. Using a chocolate brown eyeshadow, like MAC Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Brun, brush the color over your lid using a contouring eyeshadow brush, then smudge the same shadow shade along your lower lashline.

3. Sweep shadow into the crease. Apply a brownish-champagne-colored eyeshadow to the brow bone using a fluffy brush and work it into the crease to diffuse any hard lines. Try CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Shadows in "Tapestry Taupe."

4. Line and fill in your lips. To finish this allover dark look, line and fill in your lips with brown lip liner, like MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil in "Boldly Bare." Finish by applying Aquaphor over the lip liner to give it some sheen.

Finally, pin and Instagram your chic eye and lip look, and then tweet it @Cosmopolitan!

UCCF 4/27/17: Hoarding Surplus

By John Bury | May 5, 2017

After months of review the freeholders came up with a savings of $724 thousand to get the amount to be raised by taxation for 2017 to $354,769,823 (an increase of $9,495,027 from the 2016 tax levy of $345,274,766). As you will see in this blog there could have been NO tax increase (as is the case in at least three other counties) or there could have even have been a substantial tax DECREASE. It all comes down to the surplus.

Surplus is an essential aspect of government budgeting. Budgets need to prepared at the beginning of the year and money anticipated to be coming from the state or federal governments cannot be included. Usually that money comes in throughout the year and the surplus remains.

In 2014 Union County sold Runnells Hospital.

With that as background the rest of this story will be told in spreadsheets based on data from Union County budgets going back to 2005 and surplus figures from all counties for 2016 and from the fourteen counties that have their budgets online for 2017 as well as the corresponding tax amounts for 2016 and 2017. Draw your own conclusions.

    Great presentation—Even I under-stood it!–as the saying goes “figures do not lie BUT people do ! “

    An education for me too in putting it together. Please share on facebook or wherever they go to these days. This is important. I wonder what the Summit people will make of this.
