Regional audiences can prepare to seize the day with Aurora Theatre's 2018-2019 Peach State Federal Credit Union Signature Series, announced today.
The second largest professional theater in Georgia will once again bring premiere performances, heartfelt dramas, and Broadway-caliber productions with extraordinary talent to the heart of downtown Lawrenceville.

The upcoming season is led by co-founders Anthony Rodriguez and Ann-Carol Pence and features a tremendous assortment of dramas, comedies, and musicals that will have audiences of all ages ready to seize a season subscription!
"On the heels of one of our most successful seasons ever, we are proud that we continue to attract the best artists in the nation to bring an exceptional line-up to our patrons," said Aurora Theatre Producing Artistic Director Anthony Rodriguez. "Whether visiting Aurora Theatre for the first time or the hundredth time, audiences will experience a variety of themes this season, from romance and friendship to perseverance and heart — sure to entertain, educate, and inspire!"
The upcoming Signature Series includes ground breaking new works as well as the best of Broadway, as Aurora continues to foster meaningful artistic partnerships through co-production collaborations with local theatrical organizations, bringing the very best to devoted donors and subscribers. Patrons to the theater during the upcoming season will also witness the first steps of Aurora Theatre's 2020 expansion with an additional $26 million-dollar arts complex, including a new 500-seat theater, educational facilities, and an electrifying cabaret space.
"The impact Aurora Theatre has on this community is due to our belief that cultural infrastructure is as crucial to a vibrant downtown as sidewalks, parks, and roads. Because we laid an initial firm foundation of artistic excellence, people now drive to the suburbs of Atlanta to see theater," said Associate Producer Ann-Carol Pence. "Our 23rd season is going to knock your socks off, and that's a promise!"
Disney's NEWSIES
July 19 – September 2, 2018
Lyrics by Jack Feldman
Book by Harvey Fierstein
Based on the Disney film written by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White
Inspired by the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, this high-energy musical is set to soar with rousing dance numbers and non-stop thrills. In New York City at the turn of the century, publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst look to take advantage of newsboys to increase profits. Enter charismatic Jack Kelly who unwittingly leads a ragged band of teenaged "newsies" across the city to strike for what's right. This Tony Award-winning musical, based on the timeless Disney film, is toe-tapping fun for the entire family!
By Deborah Zoe Laufer
Bari is in a perpetual funk, biding her time at a mind-numbing job shipping Tibetan-themed tchotchkes. Cheerful co-workers Patty and Luanne try to see past her cynical exterior through their Prozac-colored glasses. Will Bari ever leave her parents' house in provincial upstate New York? Will she finish her dissertation? Will she go on a blind date with a dude who makes art out of garbage? And what's up with her headaches and the bizarre side-effects? The answers await in this wonderfully weird comedy that will have audiences in stitches.

A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2
By Lucas Hnath
A co-production between Aurora Theatre and Actor's Express
This 2017 Broadway smash-hit is a fresh comedy based on the characters of the Henrik Ibsen classic, considered to be a cornerstone of modern theater. In the original story, Nora Helmer leaves her husband and family with the slam of a door. Fifteen years later and now a successful author, Nora finds herself knocking at the same door. Then comes that awkward moment when she needs a favor from her estranged husband Torvald – a divorce.

May 2 – June 2, 2019
By Karen Zacarías
Neighbors clash in a dazzling new comedy about a battle for the backyard. In one yard, Frank and Virginia, a well-established D.C. couple, trim a prize-worthy pristine garden. In the other, the ambitious attorney Pablo moves in with his very pregnant wife and doctoral candidate Tania, a woman with a penchant for native flora.

Author and translator Ilana Hammerman was questioned by the police for the third time this week on suspicion of bringing Palestinians into Israel without a permit.
Last year, Hammerman began bringing Palestinian women and children on visits to Israel. It began as a private initiative to enable her Palestinian friends to enjoy experiences usually barred to them, like going to the beach or visiting East Jerusalem. But it turned into a public protest against the restrictions on Palestinians' freedom of movement when she reported on her activities in an article she wrote for Haaretz Magazine in May 2010. In response to that article, police summoned her for questioning in October 2010. Meanwhile, she continued to bring Palestinians into Israel.
On Wednesday, police questioned her for about two hours. Hammerman said that from her interrogator's comments, she understood that her case has been transferred to the prosecution for a decision on whether to indict her. The May 2010 article, in which Hammerman described taking three Palestinian women to the beach, prompted the Legal Forum for the Land of Israel to file a complaint to the Attorney General against her. The Jerusalem District Attorney's office passed on the complaint to the police, which summoned her for questioning.
This story "Author Quizzed for Helping Palestinians Into Israel" was written by Haaretz.

Rose & Womble Realty Company: In the best of company
January 23, 2018 Allan Hanrahan Features 0

We've all heard it. In real estate, it's "location," repeated for emphasis. Well, Rose & Womble Realty Company has the locations, 14 of them, and the company's colors of red, white and blue are proudly displayed in the seven municipalities of Hampton Roads.
Rose & Womble traces its roots back almost a half-century, beginning as two realty companies: Rose and Krueth; and Womble. The companies merged in 1998 and created Hampton Roads Real Estate Resource, achieving "number one" status in December, 2014, based on the parameters of the real estate business.
Real Trends Magazine recently ranked the company as the 36th largest independent REALTOR® in the United States, placing it in the top 1 percent of real estate firms in the nation.
Rose and Womble has a large resale division, a new homes division (marketing more than 60 new home communities from Williamsburg to North Carolina) and a property management division. It also touts a dozen more departments, services or affiliated partnerships, including Advance Title & Settlement Services and Land Planning Solutions.
The company has a loyal and satisfied client base. And a large portion of the company's business comes from referrals.
With more than 130 years of combined experience in the local real estate market, employing 600 agents the enterprise is guided by Art Zachary, chief executive officer, and Van Rose, chief operating officer.
Dale Chandler is managing broker for the Newport News and Hampton offices. "I'm a local guy," Chandler says, "Born and raised here, I attended local high schools and the Shipyard Apprentice School.
"Our offices serve the entire Peninsula, plus New Kent, Gloucester, Matthews, Smithfield and Isle of Wight," Chandler says.
The Newport News group of 50 agents is unique because "We do not sell houses; we find homes that appeal not only to a buyer's needs but also to the buyer's heart," says Chandler.
Asked what makes a home to be sold marketable, Chandler says, "We explain to our sellers that in today's market we are in 'a beauty contest and a price war.' Buyers are greatly influenced by what they see when viewing a house.
Regarding newly built homes versus the resale of older houses, Chandler says, "There are a lot of pluses to buying a new home…improved building techniques, building materials and energy efficiency, to name a few. When it comes down to purchase, buyers can normally get more square footage, baths and rooms in a resale home."
A typical day for Chandler? "There is no such thing," he says with a smile. "My day starts with emails, text messages and voice mails before I leave for the office. Once at the office I have one-on-one coaching sessions with agents and fixed-time training classes. And, even though we are a large company, I handle all aspects of running a business, with support from corporate. I interview and hire new and experienced agents. My job is to provide training, coaching and information to our agents so they can be professional and operate on the highest ethical standards."
Chandler's agents believe in "giving back" to the community, "This is our third year working with LINK to care for the homeless," he says. "We also run a booth with clothes that we have donated and gathered. And we take care of one to two families, providing for their children at Christmas. All funds for this are donated by our agents. This past Thanksgiving, Rose and Womble provided 2,500 meals to families throughout Hampton Roads."
Community service is a significant part of Rose & Womble's mission. "We have agents who are involved in a variety of ways working with Samaritans Purse, Peninsula Rescue Mission, Food Pantry, Gloucester Women's Shelter, American Cancer Society, Animal Aid Society, Menchville House, Wounded Warriors, Save the Bay Foundation and many more," Chandler says.
When he is not working, Chandler can be found spending time with his three grandsons, who are a big part of his life. They love to go boating with him. Chandler also enjoys a good game of golf.
Chandler has been in real estate for about 14 years and he now happily serves Rose & Womble in hiring, training, managing, motivating and leading the personnel in its two offices.

Day 2: I'm still finding my feet in Thailand. It's a mix of the jetlag, the New Year, the new work, the language and contextual obstacles, the loneliness and immense freedom of being on my own, the uncertainty of being without a familiar local place. I'm building my vocabulary of words, gestures, experience and locations. Trying on things to find what fits, what settles. Giving myself the space to feel uncomfortable — because to be uncomfortable means to grow.


Meanwhile, as men form the perfect lip foliage with the right razors, trimmers, cream, aftershave and moisturizers, it's impossible not to notice that a variety of men's grooming brands are disrupting the big guys in the category, such as Procter & Gamble's Gillette and Edgewell's Schick. While those CPG leaders still boast 54% and 15% of the $2.8 billion men's shaving market, respectively, their numbers are down from 70% and 19% just a few years back. And Gillette was even forced to slash its razor prices by an average of 12% last year.
The web lowered the barriers to entry for new companies, while social media gave consumers more of a voice, and ecommerce allowed digital brands to go directly to shoppers.
The rise of start-up shaving and skin-care brands is in line with digital disruption throughout the CPG and retail industries. In previous decades, big brands and retailers worked together—through mass production, distribution and marketing—to boost sales and keep competitors at bay. The web lowered the barriers to entry for new companies, while social media gave consumers more of a voice, and ecommerce allowed digital brands to go directly to shoppers.
The two players that have chipped away the most at the traditional brands are Dollar Shave Club and Harry's. Acquired for $1 billion in 2016 by Unilever, the subscription-model Dollar Shave Club (known for its low-cost razors and viral videos) was a disruptor when it launched in 2011. Now the company, which boasts 50% of the online razor market and 8% of the total men's shaving market, is keen to become the ultimate men's wellness destination.
Meanwhile, Harry's, a brand founded in 2013 as another club-based, online, direct-to-consumer play, has about 2% of the total men's shaving market and has been called "The Warby Parker of Shaving." In 2018, it raised another $112 million, with plans to develop brands that go beyond men's grooming. It has already taken a minority stake in men's hair-loss startup Hims and plans to buy majority ownership in other brands.
Harry's founders were tired of overpaying for over-designed razors, and of standing around waiting for the person in the drugstore to unlock the cases so they could actually buy them.
But there are still other, smaller niche brands that are looking to take on the men's grooming leaders through the power of e-commerce. Take Bevel, founded by Walker and Co. in 2014 to target men of color—first as a subscription service and now sold at Target. Starting with a shaving kit and now offering an electric trimmer, founder Tristan Walker, who had previous roles at Twitter and Foursquare, considers Bevel a tech company that focuses on data-driven marketing as well as intimate, personal advertising campaigns. A recent one called "Bevel Mirrors" featured 10 videos of customers sharing their stories about shaving and coming of age, while shaving on camera.
Bromley's for Men shaving and grooming products are available exclusively in Kroger's family of stores and through its delivery and curbside pickup services.
Even supermarket private labels are getting in on the men's grooming trends. This past July, Kroger unveiled Bromley's For Men, an exclusive line of men's shaving and grooming products that is positioned as premium quality but affordably priced.
As Movember morphs into the holiday season frenzy, it's worth noting that today's men's grooming brands are hardly stopping at men's razors and shaving cream. Dollar Shave Club, for example, recently announced that it is moving into fragrance. Harry's is taking on the women's shaving market with its new brand, Flamingo. Leader Gillette, however, is turning up the heat by honing in on building a better mousetrap: It has decided to focus on a premium product, a $150 heated razor. Happy Movember, everyone…stay healthy and well-groomed!

Music will be part of the festivities and our own SAHS Chorus will sing by the bonfire at the end of the evening while guests toast marshmallows for their s'mores.
Food and drink will be served. The menu consists of grilled hot dogs or brats with chips, munchies and soft drinks, coffee or water (alcohol is prohibited on park property). Please bring a dish to pass. A-L desserts and M-Z salads/side dishes.
Cost is only $5 for 15 years and up; $2 for ages 5-15; under age 5, free.

We are happy to announce that SAHS/WM has received a grant from the Swedish Council of America to sponsor a series of three events built around Swedish Cuisine: "Scandinavian Cuisine Throughout the Year." Our first class will be a cooking demonstration on food for summer. With midsommar just around the corner in June, the Ginger Chef (Jennifer Zirkle-Grawburg) will give us some ideas for Swedish recipes for picnics, and other outdoor celebrations. The cost is $10 and reservations are required, as there is limited seating due to the nature of the class. Reservations are due by May 13. Limited to the first 40 who register, so sign up early!
You can either register online, or by mailing a check to SAHS/WM, 29 Pearl Street NW, Suite 127, Grand Rapids, MI 49503. Make checks payable to SAHS/WM.
Broken Wheel, Iowa, has never seen anyone like Sara, who traveled all the way from Sweden just to meet her book-loving pen pal. When she arrives, however, she finds Amy's funeral guests just leaving. The residents of Broken Wheel are happy to look after their bewildered visitor—not much else to do in a small town that's almost beyond repair. They just never imagined that she'd start a bookstore. Or that books could bring them together—and change everything.
We will be meeting at Covenant Village of the Great Lakes, 2510 Lake Michigan Drive NW (between Oakleigh and Fairfield).
The book is available at Schuler's, 2660 28th Street SE.
You can also buy the book online at Schuler's or another independent bookstore.

May Bragdon Diary, June 4, 1893, p. 100
June 4. Sunday I rested some but woke up very early - in the moonlight. Read some & made an early toilet. Ate some oranges with Claude and Edward and talked to a woman who "cultivated" us - a school- teacher, I imagine. Claude was quite nice to her - gave her the lower berth, &c. and she seemed to appreciate it! Ned, Claude & I got out at Grand Cross- ing - and after a very round-about journey by 3 lines of street cars reached Windsor Park - and on the way had our first glimpse of the "White City" - which seemed almost like a dream - or a mirage - compared with the squalid little hotels, the mud and the general awfulness of Stoney Island Avenue. We found our big hotel - a crowd on the front piazza - and were lucky enough to secure two nice rooms - opposite each other - the first floor, north side - 409 & 410. Dressed and had a very decent breakfast and then went in the writing room & wrote to Mama & when our satchels came, we put on our light silk waists & cooled off

This mom-to-be called during her pregnancy to schedule her maternity portrait session as part of her Baby Portrait Plan. We instantly connected and she is all kinds of amazing!
I was so honored when she spoke about how she researched photographers, their portfolios, their style, their quality and more and she chose me! I was so flattered that my online presence had won her over, but then I learned they lived about 2 hours away. My heart sank - I thought I would never get to meet her - we do many clients that travel a bit to arrive at our studio - often an hour or more, but 2 hours...I just wasn't sure. I shared our location with her and the distance of travel to our studio form her home address and thought we would sadly say our goodbyes.
However, she already knew...she had researched our location and said they love to travel and would just make a fun day trip for their sessions. I was elated! I knew from speaking with her, our styles were very similar and her sessions would be amazing - and they have been just that!
For her maternity portrait session, we met at the studio for a little pampering from our hair and makeup artist prior to her maternity photo shoot. While there, we took a peek at her wardrobe selections and they were phenomenal. She chose the perfect colors, patterns, textures in her wardrobe and they photographed so beautifully. We shot at 5 locations, yes 5!!! capturing such a variety of backgrounds of nature, each beautifully selected to compliment her wardrobe choices and the style of photography that we were designing the session around. Her maternity images were stunning, romantic and showcased the love between this sweet couple.

Heardmont Meals on Wheels seeks to expand daily deliveries

Meals on Wheels delivery
Meals on Wheels volunteer driver Monty Simmons, right, brings Peggy Shoemaker a meal. Shoemaker can no longer drive, and she said the $2 meal from the program is often the only thing she eats in a day.
Meals on Wheels volunteers
From left are Meals on Wheels volunteers Monty Simmons, Betty Robinette and Dioma Swain. Right is Nancy Ledbetter, director of the Heardmont Senior Center.
Before Monty Simmons could knock, Richard Barth opened the door to reveal his quiet apartment. Barth's wife, Norma, sat motionless in the chair behind him, facing away as he reached for his lunch, two vacuum-sealed plastic trays and two plastic bags of bread and milk.
At more than 90 years old, Barth's thick glasses sank on his nose and his stature matched his voice, short and thin but crisp all the while.
Barth was a U.S. Army man. In World War II he was a member of the LCM unit, a land-based operation that spent more time in the water than some members of the U.S. Navy, he said. The unit dispatched small, barge-like boats from bigger ships to land troops and tanks on the beaches of North Africa. They brought the first wave of soldiers to set the beaches. If they were successful, the cavalry could make a safe landing.
But he can't drive anymore, and neither can Norma. Nor can Peggy Shoemaker, John and Nellie Cole, Georgia and John Krahn, Betty and Mary Davis and Martha Williams.
So, Simmons brings their food to them.
One of many
Simmons is one of about 40 volunteers with the Heardmont Park Senior Center's Meals on Wheels program. He currently drives the Meadow Brook route to deliver 10 meals over six stops. It's one of three routes covered by the center. The others are the Heardmont route and the Riverchase route, each with a similar number of meals to deliver.
"This is a 32-mile trip," he said as he stepped into his gold Buick. "Last year, I was driving it six times a month."
Multiply by 12 months, and Simmons put about 2,300 miles on his car delivering 720 meals in 2013. The miles aren't an issue, though. In his life, he's driven millions.
Simmons, an 83-year-old Greystone Village resident, was also a member of the U.S. Armed Forces. He joined the Navy Reserves after WWII and was called up to active duty in 1952.
"I filled out an application that asked if I wanted shore duty or water duty," he said. "I signed up for the shore, and well, they put me on a ship. I stayed on that boat until I got out."
He was a printer on the USS Shenandoah. When he left active duty, he went to school at Auburn University, but paper remained a part of his life. In 1959 he signed on as a sales representative with the Birmingham Paper Company, which would later become International Paper. For 33 years he sold a line of school supplies and stationary for them, covering a territory that stretched from Nashville to the Gulf Coast and east to Atlanta.
He might not have been around the office much, but he did make friends with the woman across the hall. She was in corrugated boxes, Simmons said, and her name was Joan.
"We've been married 52 years," he said as he lifted the lid of the gray, insulated tote in his trunk, removed a plastic tray and started toward Peggy Shoemaker's door.
Shoemaker, Simmons' first stop on his route, suffers from debilitating osteoporosis that has sent her to the operating table multiple times.
"Your bones just kind of disintegrate," she said.
She has survived four back surgeries and several more on her hips, which is where her problem first appeared. Several years ago, she lost the use of one suddenly and crumpled to the floor. When she went in to have an artificial hip installed, her doctor told her things were worse than she thought. Her condition required immediate back surgery.
Still, she answered the door standing, wearing a pink robe, and when she saw Simmons, her smile took over her face.
"You know, if it hadn't been for them, I wouldn't have been eating," she said of the volunteer drivers. "What I do is eat half of it now and save the rest for dinner."
Simmons handed off her short ribs, limas and sliced carrots and returned to his Buick with a smile. He can finish this route in a little more than an hour, he said, if he doesn't chat too much. But, he never minds catching up.
"She always pops up and walks right to that door. It's real inspiring," he said, adding that he and other volunteers are often the only people recipients see for the day. "But she's not the only one who splits her meals."
From there, Simmons heads to the Narrows to drop off meals for John and Nellie Cole and Georgia and John Krahn, both Auburn fans like he is. After that, he heads west to the Barth's apartment, where he climbs 10 speed bumps on his way in and nine on the way out.
"See those emergency contacts?" Simmons said, pointing at a sheet on his binder as his Buick lurched over the first of 10. "If you ring the doorbell and no one comes to the door, that's who you call."
Simmons said he's dialed the numbers often, and he usually receives a response like, "Oh, she had a doctor's appointment and forgot to call." Once though, he called out of emergency. On a delivery on Valleydale Road, Simmons and his wife rang the bell of a meal recipient named Maria.
"She always came from the back bedroom somewhere," Simmons said. "But this time, as soon as she got to the door, she bumped up against something and fell flat on the floor."
Avoiding panic, Simmons sent his wife in through Maria's window to help her up. Maria, thankfully, was OK.
Each meal delivered through the Meals on Wheels program is cooked early in the morning in Brent, Ala., about an hour southwest of Birmingham. The food is shipped in warming containers to Heardmont, where it's divided into 37 servings. Each is vacuum-sealed at the site and loaded for delivery, which takes place five days a week.
Recipients pay $2 for each meal if they can afford to, meaning couples like Richard and Norma Barth spend about $80 a month for the service.
"I can't complain about the food," Richard said, noting that when he could drive he visited the center every night for dinner. "I always think about them C-rations. These are pretty good meals."
Heardmont Park Senior Center Director Nancy Ledbetter wants to expand the program to include a fourth route in the Inverness area, and she wants it to launch on April 1. She said the center's goal is to rework the routes so each includes about eight stops, and to do so she needs about 15 more volunteers to agree to deliver.
Simmons did the math: If approximately 30 meals go out now, it adds up to 7,800 meals delivered each year. Increasing the number of recipients to 45, the total grows to 11,700 a year. A bigger volunteer network would not only ensure all those meals are delivered but also give the center a chance to bring more food to area shut-ins.
"This is just so rewarding to me and all of us who do this," Simmons said. "We're just filling a much-needed role because if we didn't have Meals on Wheels, these people wouldn't get anything to eat all day long."
"If I have any pains that day, they're gone by the time I finish," Ledbetter added.
Heardmont is hosting a luncheon for its delivery volunteers on March 12 at the center. For more information, call Ledbetter at 991-5742.

Dr Roger Parsons wrote an informative, yet almost-scathing critique of an article he'd seen last week. Writing for The Daily Maverick, Parsons was dismayed that a particular author had chosen to say that Cape Town were pressing ahead with groundwater pumping, despite it threatening to draw seawater into the drinking supply.
Saline intrusion (sea water intrusion, salt water intrusion) – is a potential danger that comes from pumping groundwater, in order to collect and feed into the water supply. It's the process of seawater finding it's way into a fresh water supply.
Pumping groundwater is itself a relatively safe, and well-used method of re-using clean drinking water and keeping it in the local supply. However, reclaiming water from low-surface level means that experts have to take the Ghyben-Herzberg principle into consideration.
Erm… What is the Ghyben-Herzberg principle?
Don't worry, you haven't suddenly stumbled into a degree-level physics class. It's actually quite easy to get your head around. The Ghyben-Herzberg principle is more like an equation.
How do experts safely collect groundwater?
Boreholes are drilled near to open water sources. Where groundwater is pumped, it can reach a certain distance. To safely collect groundwater, the experts must ensure that the radius of influence (so, the distance the pumping can reach) is a smaller distance away from the sea.
How is saline intrusion prevented?
Water is added to an aquifer using specially designed ponds, trenches or boreholes to enhance the recharge to that aquifer.
This allows the position of the sea water interface to be managed by artificially controlling the groundwater level.
If implemented correctly, managed aquifer recharge could be an important tool in combating potential impacts resulting from groundwater abstraction.
Much like groundwater hydrologists, we've only scratched the surface here. Treat yourself to Dr Roger Parsons' full debunking of saline intrusion here, at The Daily Maverick.

One of the important things that need to be considered nowadays is security. Actually, I have been searching for good locksmith supplies in Calgary these past days and I've found some great security ideas that will help improve the security of one's home.
One of the simplest ways to ensure that your home is secure is to ensure that you install the lock on the door correctly. Intruders will have an easy access to your home when the door is out of alignment or there's a large gap for the lock sits. Always see to it that the doors fit snugly and that they are well-made.
The best locksmith supplies should be your option if you want to buy a lock. This may mean that you pay a few more dollars for the hardware but you be guaranteed a much better security situation. Keep in mind that some locks are priced inexpensively because they do not have good quality. Buying a lock from a reputable seller which is way expensive is an excellent move.
Watch out for any kind of lock that is easily bumped or picked. I have done a simple lock search on YouTube and after that, I found out that bumping those locks in my house has been made easier. I actually tried to bump and pick my locks at home using some typical items found in the house and it unlocked in such a simple action.
When trying to secure your valuables, always assess the level of security it needs. Buying a lock that costs $100 dollars will not be worthwhile if your million-dollar worth valuables will be easily robbed by thieves. It is also useless to secure a $100 possession with a lock worth $1000. Always ensure that your level security matches what you trying to keep secure.
The climate of the place where your security devices are destined to should be also considered. If you are located in a place having very cold climate, you should not use security devices that are powered by electricity. You'll find in no time that you will have a failure of the security equipment. Keep in mind that when it comes to harsh environments, the best option is to spend money on simpler options.
The security need should go with the level of security you provide. For instance, in your working environment, office access should only be given to a number of people. This is a place where using electronic access cards makes a lot of sense and individual keys do not. When you add more people into the system, the cost of controlling keys will then increase. It is not that easy to pick a person to be given with an access to the office.
Always be wary of locking systems that you will find in general hardware stores. It is a sure thing that you'll get higher quality locks from a professional locksmith than from stores selling locks down the streets. This is the very reason why the costs of locks from professional locksmiths are two or three times higher than ordinary locks. When compared to the ones that are sold in local stores, this lock guarantees a much higher quality.
An easy security solution is to ensure that you use proper signage to display the fact that you do have a locked and secured environment. The alarm system also serves as your tool of advertising your locksmith usage in all your windows and doors. This simple deterrent could stop over 90% of all break-ins. But of course, be sure that the actual security system in your house is the one referred in your signage.
Make sure your people are well-informed about the right ways of using these locksmith supplies. If they don't know how to properly use a lock then the best lock in a world is not to keep your home or business secure. Make sure that the information about the security system is imparted to the ones who will use it.
It is through a good locksmith supply that security can be obtained. The next thing you need to do is to ensure proper installation and usage of the locksmith supplies. By simply following the highlighted steps above, you will be confident that your home and business is always safe and secured.

Claremont Mormon Studies Conference: Laying Up Treasure: Mormons in the Marketplace
When: Fri Mar 30, 2012 to Sat Mar 31, 2012
Where: Claremont, California
Given the recent global economic recession, high unemployment rates, and strident political debates on issues such as deficits, taxation, and economic growth, concerns about money are high on public and personal agendas. From monasticism to communitarianism to prosperity theology, religion has been an important variable in cultural attitudes and ideologies toward participation in the marketplace. Brigham Young, for instance, instructed nineteenth-century Utah Mormons to produce their own food and goods, and not to trade with "gentiles," and various towns experimented with the United Order. This separation did not last, however, and throughout the twentieth century, Mormons followed a path of economic integration. With such an example in mind, this conference seeks to explore how Mormons have theorized about and used the goods of this world personally, socially, and theologically across time and in various settings.
Possible questions to be explored include: Does LDS theology—from Joseph Smith to the early Utah period to the present—say anything distinctive about Mormons' relationship to the market? How has the economic communitarianism of 19th-century Mormonism played out over the past century? How do Mormon teachings affect the financial and economic decisions of Mormon individuals, families, and communities (for instance, the connections between Mormon millennialism and food storage, or the dilemma of women in the workplace)? What can be said about major LDS "titans of industry," ranging from Marriott to Covey to Romney? In what ways are Mormon economic ideals shaped by their original American context, and how do they translate in the international sphere, particularly in areas that do not hold as strongly to free market capitalism? To what extent were Latter-day Saints involved in the financial and housing industries that have been pointed to as major elements of the 2008 recession? Is there a coherent body of Mormon teaching about poverty, along the lines of a "preferential option for the poor"? In sum, is there anything distinctively "Mormon" about the ways that Latter-day Saints, historically or currently, operate as economic agents?
Since these questions, and many more, can be approached from a wide variety of disciplines and methods, we invite papers from all possible fields of academic inquiry. We strongly encourage graduate students to apply. A limited number of stipends will be available to conference presenters who need assistance for travel and lodging.
Abstracts of approximately 250 words, a one-page CV, and a presenter's bio should be submitted by November 1, 2011. Authors will be notified of acceptance by December 1.

High-Res Restoration Revives Bruce's Debut
HomeAudiophile MusicHigh-Res Restoration Revives Bruce's Debut
Mark Smotroff revisits his NJ roots in 24/96 stereophonic sound
I remember the first time I heard Greetings From Asbury Park; one of my older brothers brought it home not long after it came out. Listening closely, that album felt like an older buddy from the neighborhood that I never knew who was recounting tales of the stuff I was starting to see happening around me as I ventured out and around my hometown in New Jersey. I was about to become a teenager and Bruce Springsteen's music was about to become a big part of the soundtrack of my adolescence.
So for me to write something like "Bruce Springsteen's 1973 debut is near and dear to my heart: would be sort of an understatement. Greetings From Asbury Park — and the follow-on, The Wild, the Innocent & the E-Street Shuffle — very much set the stage for my journey out into the big world, providing a lot of perspective on what to expect as I took "my right at the light and kept going straight until night…."
I learned quickly to hum my own lunar tunes.
I'm stating all this because its important (for me) to recognize that this fanboy perspective could easily sway my opinion when trying to do a review.
"Could," of course is the operative word there. The reality is, I'm from NJ and that just isn't how we roll there. Most of us folks from NJ are straight-shooters, you see.
All that said, I'll tell you one of the really neat things about listening to Greetings from Asbury Park in high resolution: it sounds just as it's supposed to sound, even though it is no doubt much much clearer now.
When I hear the LP version, it sounds good but there is a sort of murkiness that was always a part of the album's charm. Greetings From Asbury Park is not a fancy production, and the album was made in a small, pre-fame low-budget studio. But the performances are heartfelt and that comes through even when it is played through a 3-inch car speaker. Of course, that IS one of the bigger points with regards to appreciating Bruce's music.
Still, there is a much improved sense of clarity and definition on this new remaster that is very appealing. You can feel Bruce's acoustic guitar ringing out on the quiet parts of "Mary Queen of Arkansas." Likewise, you can really hear how those charmingly out-of-tune double-tracked guitars at the start of "Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?" blend in with the almost out of tune (probably upright) piano masterfully played by the great David Sancious.
Perhaps the problem was a sort of audio quicksand and not so much mud after all.
One of the real heroes on this album is Bruce's first drummer Vincent "Mad Dog" Lopez, who usually, unfortunately, gets lost in the flood in the wake of Mighty Max Weinberg's joining Bruce's E-Street Band for the third album. Lopez's playing sounds much tighter on this new version of Greetings From Asbury Park, and I'm not talking just about the fidelity of the transfer. I am talking about the seeming steadiness and — if you will — rock-full-ness of his playing.
This is all real subtle stuff, folks, but after just re-listening to the LP version and then putting on the high-resolution HDTracks download, I'm hearing a far more driving drummer than the original recording conveyed. While Lopez was not quite the Pete Best of the E-Street Band, and sure he is not the uber-tasteful time-keeper that Max is renown for, it may be time to re-evaluate Lopez's contributions now that we are hearing a far steadier incarnation of this album. This is happening courtesy of the Plangent Process that dramatically corrects mechanical anomalies in the tape recording process from back in the day, particularly "wow" and "flutter." These are acknowledged technical glitches which the recorded music world has lived with since its inception and now we are first starting to hear what the music sounds like when digitally correcting those issues.
]]>One of the side benefits of correcting these anomalies is sometimes a stronger sense of groove.
Playing "For You" is like hearing this song again for the first time. The speed and tempo is just far more propulsive than the original LP, jumping out of the speakers like it was a remix, not just a remaster. With the DSP restoration by Plangent Processes, it's pretty evident that something got lost in translation from the original performance to what was documented on the tape — wow and flutter ever so subtly but palpably held the song's heartbeat prisoner. So now we can finally really feel that beat via Vinnie Lopez's kick drum and snare! The guy was no doubt way looser and a busier player than Max, but he could play!
Saints in the city…
Bruce's voice on "The Angel" sounds remarkable, a reminder that he was not just a fine street poet, but a damn great singer right from the get-go. Richard Davis's gorgeous, mostly overlooked and forgotten bowed upright bass playing on that song is much more evident on this new remaster.
The CD version of the restored Greetings From Asbury Park sounds pretty good overall, bearing much of the same sonic blueprint as the HDTracks/Plangent Processes restoration version. And even at low volumes it sounds quite solid as far as CDs go — the acoustic guitars are distinct on tracks like "Growin' Up" and "For You." The drums are round and punchy overall.
It sounds real good in the car, which makes so much sense for a Bruce record.
Really, the only problem I have with the CD is when you start to turn up the volume, then you really start to notice the negative effects of CD compression (which has nothing to do with the restoration or the remastering). It just is what it is — part of the process of chopping down the music files to the 16-bit/44.1-kilohertz size required for the CD "red book" standard." This is notable on vocals and the high end especially, which makes the sounds quite a bit more hard-edged than the 24/96 download version.
When you play the high-resolution HDTracks version you can feel the room sound around David Sancious' jazz-blues-tinted piano intro to "Its Hard to Be a Saint in the City," as well as in the breaks during the song. That nearly 3D feeling is much less palpable on the CD version, the piano sounding much flatter and more two dimensional.
Still all in all, both the CD and HDTracks download versions of Greetings From Asbury Park offer a noticeable improvement over the original LP. If you don't have this album, these new remastered and restored versions are a great way to experience Bruce's auspicious debut. If you haven't listened to the album a long time, they are a great way to re-consider a wonderful Bruce Springsteen album that quickly got overshadowed by his later output.
Greetings From Asbury Park is important in order to fully understand Bruce's music on the grander scale. Greetings… is the place where I think everyone should start listening to Bruce. It is the place where many of his character profile songs begin. It's the place where he began spinning tales about Mary Queen of Arkansas, Crazy Janey, Wild Billy and Hazy Davey, Jimmy the Saint and the Ragamuffin Gunner, Rex and Mary Lou … the list goes on.
Now you can meet all these characters on the backstreets of your home entertainment system, sounding clearer than ever, just by listening to Greetings From Asbury Park in new and improved high-resolution, high-fidelity, Plangent Processed stereophonic sound.
But don't take it from me…
Wild Billy said it best himself …
"He said, 'Trust some of this, it'll show you where it's at. Or at least it'll really help you feel it.'"

Q: How do I pass username password to Fuji Xerox printer APEOS Port II 7000? I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and have been printing on a Fuji-Xerox printer model APEOS Port II 7000, that is until they started implementing username / password login for the printer. This is not SMB password rather the password on the machine.
I have tried setting the URI as something like this:
DeviceURI lpd://01:0001@192.168.2.49/PASSTHRU

where "01" and "0001" are my username and password on the printer to get it to print but then to no avail. The error that appears on the printer is that I am not authorized. Can someone who have had experience with this kind of printer please chime in ?

This pure white Lucite bag is attributed to the 80's (most likely), and would be perfect for a party, a prom, or a bride. Easily holds cell phone, makeup, and more.
Measures 7" wide x 4-1/2" tall x 2" deep. Tag simply says make in Hong Kong. The purse can be carried as a clutch by putting the rope strap inside. We show this below, although we didn't get one side quite in - our mistake, it fits in fine.
Condition: While the inside is stained and soiled (who sees that?) the exterior is perfect. The rope shoulder strap is immaculate as is the hardware. No cracks, chips, or even scratches on the Lucite.

Q: Deferred make_unique with variadic templates I need a class which will work as a deferred factory, saving the parameters to create another class and invoking make_unique later in time. So far I'm not having any luck getting a variadic template version to work. Any help would be appreciated (minimal non-working version below).
template <typename T, typename ... Args>
class ConstructLater
{
public:
    ConstructLater(Args &&... args)
    {
        factory = std::bind(std::make_unique<T, Args...>, std::forward<Args>(args)...);
    }

    std::unique_ptr<T> Later()
    {
         return factory();
    }

private:
    std::function<std::unique_ptr<T>(void)> factory;
};

class Foo { public: Foo(int) { } };

int f()
{
    // None of these work
    ConstructLater<Foo>(3);
    ConstructLater<Foo, int>(6);
}

EDIT: To clarify, I do not need to use std::bind, and in fact I would like the class to store a copy of the arguments by value to avoid problems with temporary objects. Also updated label to C++14.

A: If you're ok with every argument being copied, then you can skip std::bind and std::make_unique:
template <typename T, typename ... Args>
class ConstructLater
{
public:
    ConstructLater(Args... args) : _storedArgs(args...)
    {
    }

    std::unique_ptr<T> later()
    {
        return laterHelper(std::make_index_sequence<sizeof...(Args)>{});
    }

private:
    template<std::size_t... I>
    std::unique_ptr<T> laterHelper(std::index_sequence<I...>)
    {
        return std::unique_ptr<T>(new T(std::get<I>(_storedArgs)...));
    }

    std::tuple<Args...> _storedArgs;
};

class Foo { public: Foo(int) { } };

int f()
{
    ConstructLater<Foo, int> cl(6);

    auto foo = cl.later();
}

This compiles just fine in C++14: https://godbolt.org/z/owgoXc

A: This is the signature of std::make_unique
template<typename T, typename... Args>
std::unique_ptr<T> make_unique(Args&&...);

When you specified Args like you did, std::make_unique may only accept rvalues. However, std::bind passes its bound arguments as lvalues, which is why you get an error.
Instead of std::bind, use lambdas instead
template<typename...>
struct pack {};

template<typename T, typename Tup, typename... TArgs, std::size_t... Is>
std::unique_ptr<T> helper(Tup&& tup, pack<TArgs...>, std::index_sequence<Is...>)
{
    return std::make_unique<T>(static_cast<TArgs>(std::get<Is>(tup))...);
}

template <typename T>
class ConstructLater

    {
         return factory();
    }

private:
    std::function<std::unique_ptr<T>(void)> factory;
};

Note also ConstructLater shouldn't be templated by Args, it defeats the entire purpose of std::function. Either way, the constructor itself will need to be templated in order to perfectly forward its arguments.

A: You can use a lambda but it is undefined behavior as you are saving a reference to temporary
    factory = [&]() {
        return std::make_unique<T>(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
    };

For saving the arguments but also preserve original types they were called with, it is more complicated and involves a lot of casts/variadic template magic. I didn't figure out yet but don't see why it is not possible.
template<class... Args>
ConstructLater(Args &&... args)
{
  std::tuple<TODO...> tup = remove_const_remove_ref<Args...>(args);
  factory = [=]() {
      return std::make_unique<T>(cast_tuple<Args...>(tup)...);
  };
}

Between La Vergne and Cool Springs sits the town of Nolensville, Tennessee. Nolensville covers an area of just under ten square miles and is home to roughly 6,000 residents. Nolensville boasts substantial growth since it re-incorporated in 1996, offering one of the lowest property tax rates in Williamson County.
Nolensville was named by William Nolen. As he and his family were passing through in 1797, their wagon wheel broke. Instead of carrying on after repairing the wagon, the Nolens settled in the fertile area along Mill Creek. Nolensville has maintained its small-town vibe ever since, offering community events such as little leagues and the annual Buttercup Festival.

The Intermediate School is designed to allow for a gradual transition from the self-contained Lower School environment to the departmentalized Middle and Upper Schools. Students are given more responsibilities and freedoms as they rotate through 4 blocks of academic classes each day.
These consist of a mathematics block, an reading block, a writing block, and a rotating social studies/science block. A rotating PE/Elective schedule including art, music, and Spanish/Latin allows for enrichment and movement. Students at this age are not passive learners – they learn by doing rather than by just being told. That's why science is based on experiments, art is based on production, and music involves playing instruments and creating a theatrical production. Reading and writing revolve around sharing opinions and life experiences, and social studies is based on inquiry and discussion. Math follows the same approach because success isn't just about manipulating numbers, it's about being able to apply math concepts and number sense to real life situations.
The academic day begins with an all-school morning meeting where students begin the day dancing, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Students and teachers then take the opportunity to recognize others for outstanding moments, followed by some group cheers to build school spirit as they head to the first academic block of the day. Classes are taught with developmental expectations in mind, and social skills are integrated into the curriculum every day. Effective study skills are encouraged through classroom structure and routines, and responsibility is emphasized through instruction in specific techniques such as organizing and planning projects, learning how to manage homework, as well as arriving to each class period prepared and in a timely manner.
Reading in the Intermediate School is taught using a workshop model approach that emphasizes student-centered learning. Reading units are formed around independently chosen novels, as well as whole-class texts that support a variety of reading comprehension strategies. This format gives students tools for selecting and comprehending literature with skills needed to be successful readers. Students read many books over a course of a year and are encouraged to explore different genres, authors, and texts. Students interact with the text by making connections with prior knowledge and asking questions to clarify comprehension. Each day reading instruction begins with a mini-lesson on an aspect of literature or a reading comprehension strategy. Students are then sent off to their work spots for independent reading and journal response time. During this independent time, the teacher is conferring with students and differentiating through small group instruction. Students then come back together for a whole-class share session.
Writing follows the same workshop model as reading, and teachers focus on three main types of writing: Narrative, Persuasive, and Informational. During the writing block teachers begin with explicit writing instruction; they act as mentor authors as they model writing techniques. Students are taught to write for a real purpose, write the kinds of texts that they see in the world, and write for an audience of readers. As students follow a consistent writing process, they are invested in their own writing as they choose topics that are important to them. During independent time, frequent feedback is provided through teacher-student conferences; this allows students to see what they are doing well, how their writing is progressing, and what their next steps might be. Along with conferring, the teacher provides small group instruction to address the various writing needs within the class. Routine studies of vocabulary and mini-lessons on grammar are also included to support the students as they develop as writers.
The workshop approach in reading and writing fosters independence; students voice ideas and opinions through giving and receiving constructive feedback, allowing students to view themselves as authentic readers and writers.
In the Intermediate School we continue with the Singapore Math approach that is introduced in the Lower School. Place value and numeracy skills are continually reinforced, and the skills of multiplication and division are extended. There is a focus on more advanced skills such as probability, estimation, fractions, decimals, and geometry. All skills and concepts are taught through the concrete to pictorial to abstract approach. Throughout the year, emphasis is placed on real world problem solving using the bar modeling method. By using rectangular bars and identifying the unknown quantity with a question mark, students are able to visualize the problem and know what operations to perform; this allows students to view problems from an algebraic perspective and enables them to see number relationships.
In our social studies classes, we incorporate an inquiry-based approach in the study of our nation's history from early America to present day. Students find themselves at the center of the inquiry process, as the teacher embraces the role of facilitator. Students are thinking critically about ideas and perspectives as they use primary resources and nonfiction texts to gather evidence and draw conclusions. Students are equipped with the skills to ask good questions as they interact with a variety of texts. This allows students to build a firm knowledge base so that they begin visualizing history, identifying reasons that lead up to historical events, and using text evidence to support their findings. Students also gain a greater understanding of the geographic context in which our history unfolds. Through inquiry, students build a greater understanding of the world in which they live, learn, and communicate.
The Intermediate School has a dedicated science lab that is designed for exploring science through hands on experimentation. Fourth graders learn about science lab safety with a focus on life science. From identifying basic life functions and creating slides of plant and animal cells to classifying organisms into kingdoms of life, students explore the living world around them and learn how living and nonliving things interact with each other in their ecosystems. Once fifth graders review science lab safety, they begin the year with an in-depth study of the scientific method. These fundamental steps are the backbone for future science study at Brookstone. Each student completes a science project, research report, and a display based on this method with teacher guidance. Throughout the year, students read and write about various physical science concepts, as well as explore the human skeletal system. As students perform hands-on activities and experiments, they continue to utilize the scientific process. As part of the Green Team, students participate in environmental stewardship of the Brookstone Campus.
Fourth grade art students continue exploring the elements of art such as line, shape, and color. They have the opportunity to use a variety of media to explore several other topics that may also include landscapes, properties of color, other cultures and countries, portraits, famous artists, abstraction, fantasy, and clay. Fifth grade art continues exploring the elements of art as well as the principles of design such as rhythm, pattern and movement. Students have the opportunity to use a variety of media to explore several other topics that may also include landscapes, properties of color, other cultures and countries, portraits, famous artists, clay, and abstraction.
Music in the Intermediate School is a twelve week elective. During the fourth grade music rotation, students read and notate simple music in the treble clef as they learn to play the recorder. Students then utilize this knowledge to follow a vocal score, recognizing and identifying basic musical notation as they learn songs for the fourth and fifth grade end-of-term program. Vocal techniques covered are breathing, phrasing, vowel formation, and diction. Completion of the composer packet gives the students a broader understanding of the baroque and classical periods in music history. The fifth grade music/theatre rotation culminates with the production of a mini-musical that incorporates all of the concepts learned during the quarter. Students sing a variety of memorized songs using expression and proper vocal technique. A script is memorized, blocked, and rehearsed utilizing instruction on stage directions, basic body movement, and vocal projection. By playing the recorder for a second year, students continue to read and notate simple music in the treble clef, increasing their repertoire and skills. Finally, students add to their knowledge of music history through studying famous composers from the romantic and contemporary periods. A musical production that is produced and directed by the students themselves is performed at the end of each music elective.
Students are introduced to more advanced computer skills in the Intermediate School. From using key locations by touch and a higher level mouse to menu skills and hardware terms, focus is on advanced word processing formatting techniques. Math skills are reinforced through age appropriate computer programs, and students use the Internet for research, slide presentations with PowerPoint, and to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. Students are also completing projects in Microsoft Excel and other online tools. The importance of digital citizenship and Internet safety is reinforced through classroom lessons and inquiry-based projects.
Fourth grade students participate in a comprehensive twelve week course. During this time, students hone their Spanish reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills while at the same time reinforcing and enhancing vocabulary and grammar from previous years. Topics of study include: Basic Greetings and Feelings, Commands and other Classroom Expressions, Calendar, Classroom, Weather and Seasons, Colors, Body, Time and Events, Directions, Place Setting, and Food. Students are exposed to culture and celebrations of Spanish-speaking countries and participate in preparing a traditional meal.
Fifth grade students participate in a nine-week course on the basics about the Latin language and the Roman Empire, with a focus on culture, language, and geography. Students learn the roman numerals and various root forms used in the English language and make connections between English, Latin, and Spanish. Latin expressions are also introduced that relate to mathematics, masculine and feminine forms of words, months, and ordinal numbers. Students are given the opportunity to write and perform partner dialogues as the term culminates with a toga celebration.
Previously learned library skills are reinforced and used in depth by the fourth grade. Each class studies a different genre at a different time of the year until each class has studied, read, and reported on biography, historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, adventure, mystery, and realistic fiction. Reference books, electronic sources, magazines, the internet, nonfiction books, and other sources of information are found and emphasis is placed on the number and kinds of sources and correct note taking, when doing research reports. The bibliography, the parts of the report, and writing the final product are all part of the instruction. They continue to practice their use of the automated card catalog and finding materials on the shelves by their call numbers. An in-depth course of instruction on the Dewey Decimal Classification system helps them to understand and use the library proficiently.
Physical education expands the understanding and implementation of all previously learned skills with an emphasis on sportsmanship. The rules and strategies in various team sports are introduced and enforced. Several of these sports include basketball, wiffle ball, and ultimate frisbee. An increased emphasis is placed on fundamental skill development of team sports in preparation for Cub sports and Middle School athletics. Students participate in a pre and post physical fitness test called Fitnessgram.
W.I.N. (What I Need) is a block of time offered four times a week to all students. Faculty meet with students during this time for individualized help according to the student's needs. Students also use this time for book clubs, technology projects, and study skills.
By learning to take risks through inquiry, direct experience, and collaboration, students leave the Intermediate School equipped with the skills and confidence necessary to succeed in Middle School and with the desire and commitment to become active members of the larger community.
