Friday Dance Party – Being Set "Free" With Graffiti6
It's time for another edition of Friday Dance Party here on Acorns On Glen. It's the time where we give thanks for making it through another week and for being alive and present here on Earth. How do we celebrate another week of living? We dance. So, are you alive this Friday? Are you and your family safe and sound? Take a few seconds now to be in the moment and realize what a great life you truly have. Did you give thanks for that?
Good, now let's dance.
I've been set free several times this week. I just haven't been in the groove much at all this week. It all started when I realized that last weekend was Labor Day weekend. For some reason, I thought it was this coming weekend. How do I totally miss a holiday weekend? When someone at work mentioned the long weekend ahead, I thought they were joking. Then I began to think about what I would have felt like if I had come into the office on the actual Labor Day Monday and no one would have been there. That would have really set me free.
At the beginning of this week, it hit me that Summer was drawing to a close. Another feeling of being set free. Where did Summer go? It seems like a couple of weeks ago that I went home for a visit over Memorial Day. Like a few days ago that we left to spend the Fourth of July in Las Vegas. Are you telling me that it is time to officially not wear white, harvest the remainder of the vegetables from the garden, winterize the swimming pool in the backyard and, the worst part, begin to locate all of the winter snow shovels so I can put them inside the garage in anticipation of our first snow storm. Am I really beginning to think about snow?
I also thought this week was close week. Close week is the time every 28 days that my company closes their books and sees how much money they made or didn't make. When my company exceeds their profit forecast, it is chalked up to excellent execution. When they don't make their profit forecast, it's the accountants fault. Those damn accountants…they must have made ANOTHER mistake. Needless to say, close week is fairly stressful and I got all crazed and fired up for it a week too early. Close week is next week. Wasting all this energy on something that didn't happen really set me free.
And now this weekend I'm being set free on the Jersey Shore. We're off to Asbury Park…home of Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi. Actually, I'd be just as happy to get a glimpse of Snooki or The Situation. I would set my family and friends free as they watch me take off my shirt, do a little dancing with some fist pumps and then leave with my new friends (drunk, of course) and go do some GTL. I can only hope!
So with a week's worth of being set free, it's time to give thanks for making it through. We did it again! So let's dance this week and be set "Free" from Graffiti6, a London-formed duo that began in 2009. Let's give thanks for all that we have and all that we've done to close out another week. By chance, if you see me on the MTV channel with my Jersey Shore friends, let me tell you in advance that I am so sorry for setting you free. I know the feeling!
We're Cooking Again – An Old Time Recipe From My Grandma
We've had a bumper crop of green beans here on Glen Road and I have been thinking about a green bean soup recipe that my Grandma used to make from as far back as I can remember. The problem was that I didn't have the recipe and I would never be able to make the soup from memory. So I had my mom and aunt confer and get back to me on how to make this old-time soup just like my Grandma used to make it. There are a number of foods that I remember from when I was young and this soup was one of them. I know to many that the idea of a green bean soup will not sound too appetizing. However, when you add thinly sliced onions, cubed potatoes and a garlic-laced roux, you end up with a slightly thick green bean stew with lots of flavor. My recipe is for a double batch. Some to eat now and some to freeze for later this Fall when soups just seem to taste better. So if you have a late season green bean harvest and don't know what to do with them, why not give my Grandma's green bean soup a try. It starts with some fresh green beans:
- 4 to 5 cups of fresh green beans (cleaned and snapped into 1″ pieces)
- 4 to 5 large potatoes (cleaned, peeled and cut into cubes. I used Yukon Gold potatoes.)
- 1 medium yellow onion (thinly sliced. A mandolin works perfect. We are onion lovers so feel free to use less onion if you wish.)
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- 6 tablespoons of melted butter (let the butter cool slightly before using)
- 6 to 7 cloves of garlic
- Salt and fresh pepper to taste
Place green beans, potatoes and onion into a stock pot and cover with water. Add enough water to cover all the vegetables. Place on medium heat and boil until the vegetables are tender.
While the vegetables are boiling, start to make the roux. Just the word "roux" makes most people think of some fancy cooking routine that takes a lot of time and patience. Don't let the word fool you. A roux is nothing but a cooked mixture of flour and a cooking fat, like butter or vegetable oil, that is used to thicken sauces, soups and gravies. A couple of things on the roux for this soup: first, you want to cook the roux until it turns a deep golden brown. Second, keep the garlic in the pan until it starts to brown and then remove it. If you leave the garlic in too long and it burns, it will ruin the flavor of your roux. Last, mix the flour and cooled, melted butter in the pan until well combined and then add the whole garlic cloves before turning the stove heat on. Here are a few pictures showing how the roux will progress.
The beginning–the flour and cooled, melted butter combined and then the garlic cloves added before turning up the heat:
The middle–the roux is now more sauce-like and lightly simmering:
The end–when the roux is a deep golden brown, take it off the heat and let it cool a bit before you add it to the vegetable mixture. Note that the garlic cloves are gone. Again, make sure to remove them when they begin to brown. If they burn, your roux will not be good and you will need to start over.
Once your vegetables are tender, add the roux into the vegetable pot and stir the roux until it combines with the water. Once combined, add plenty of salt and pepper. Taste buds vary, so add until you are satisfied. I tend to add more, versus less, salt and pepper. For me, it's around 1 tablespoon of salt and about three teaspoons of pepper. Remove the pot from the heat and let the soup sit for a few hours. This is one of those dishes that is better the longer you wait to eat it. Letting the soup sit for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator allows the flavors to combine. When ready to eat, place the pot back on the burner and simmer until hot. Ensure that the salt and pepper levels are adequate. Serve it any way you like. In our house, we eat just the soup with some fresh bread or rolls. Any way you serve it, this hot and hearty soup is one that pleases. At least it has in my family for almost a century. Enjoy!!

Friday Dance Party – Where Have You Been?
It's time for another edition of Friday Dance Party here on Acorns On Glen. It's the time where we give thanks for making it through another week and for being alive and present here on Earth. How do we celebrate another week of living? We dance. So, are you alive this Friday? Are you and your family safe and sound? Take a few seconds now to be in the moment and realize what a great life you truly have. Did you give thanks for that?
Good, now let's dance.
If my calculations are correct, I am just finishing up my eighth Summer here on Glen Road. It's crazy how time flies! Over the course of all these years, I've done and seen so many things on our property. I've worked to landscape our huge yard (both in the front and in the back), built several raised beds to grow vegetables in, planted fruit trees and, as you well know, I've witnessed a lot of wildlife that either lives or visits our property. Some of these critter interactions are bad ones (woodchuck, I'm talking about you!), but the majority of them are really quite pleasant. The one that is absolutely my favorite is to watch and listen to all the different birds that fly through on a daily basis. I've seen cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers, goldfinches and lots of other unique varieties. Some that I can't even name. I think I've seen most of what Connecticut has to offer in the bird arena…..except one and it is my favorite. The bird that never seems to visit my yard is the smallest of them all and that is a hummingbird. I was never sure why I had never seen one. In fact, there were many times I would discuss this with my Dad (another bird lover). He didn't know why either. He said I had sufficient red flowers everywhere, lots of Spring/Summer/Fall bloomers, enough forest for them to nest in and I even had a hummingbird feeder. It was a true mystery.
Well, I'm happy to tell all of you that on Sunday of last week, I was taking a little break from an intense day of gardening. It was what I call a quiet moment. One where you sit down (or sometimes lay down) right where you are gardening and you just lay still and listen to Nature. You listen to the wind, you watch the birds, you listen to the birds singing. Basically, you just sit there and appreciate life. Meditation for gardeners. As I laid there last Sunday, something wonderful happened. I saw two hummingbirds fly to a butterfly bush and begin to feed off the blooms. I couldn't believe my eyes. So small and so quick. They eventually made a couple of sounds to each other and then sat on a low-hanging branch at the beginning of the woods. As they flew away, I slowly picked myself up off the ground and started to walk back to the house. On my way, I ran into another hummingbird enjoying my zinnia patch. This might sound weird to many of you, but my eyes filled with tears at the sight of this third bird. Yes, I had finally seen some beautiful hummingbirds in my garden, but more than that, I am sure I was witnessing some divine intervention or, better said, what I believe to be some Dad intervention all the way from Heaven.
So this week's song is dedicated to the three hummingbirds that finally visited. It's Rihanna's big Summer hit "Where Have You Been". It's another week down and, for most of us, a three-day weekend. Happy Labor Day! Turn the speakers up and celebrate life and say goodbye to Summer. Hasn't it gone by so quickly? Dance to celebrate that we've made it through another week and, better yet, another season. As well, know that I'll be out in my yard this weekend asking those three hummingbirds….."Where Have You Been?" Do you think they'll answer?

Why is user, call handling and forwarding so the "softphone and smart phones" is hard coded to be rung first before the other devices. Softphone should be separated smart phones and allow the user to determine the order.
Allow us to customize our call flow for each device: desktop app, smartphone, and hardphone.
Or, just tell us why it can't be put in, and close the request?
Is it "Community" oriented to just have a voting feature for your customers only to ignore them?
Vote: Done.
I'm not "annoyed." I'm more perplexed as to why are we all here requesting features of such simplicity and being ignored? Why would I, in the future, bother to give further feedback or feature requests if I am ignored?
Glad you like Glip. I just don't see myself using it due to its dependence on RC, and how there have been 3rd party tools available for years that don't tie me to a particular VoIP provider (That has me locked in rigid contract and I can't lower my rates until that contract is renewed. Funny how the rates can be increased though!) just to use collaboration features. And I'd never heard of Glip before last year, why would I trust them again, especially when they were just "pushed" on my service plan? Will Glip be around in 5 years if nobody uses it or they go out of business? Is this why my RC rates are so high, to pay for development or licensing for collaboration software I never asked for nor desired? But we digress...
This isn't a whim or fringe request. As others have mentioned, this is a very valuable feature that would really benefit customers in a myriad of ways. It would absolutely save time, which I think most of us agree is extremely valuable and appreciated. Where I work I have had multiple users directly request this ability, which led me directly to this thread. I was amazed it was still active!
But on a bigger scale, this seems like a breakdown of RingCentral Support. I'm actually totally fine with them just saying, "Sorry, our licensing agreements stipulate we can't do this, or, it would cost too much, or, we can't find the dude who coded this, sorry yo." But to leave a voting feature in place, community feedback, then post an image that doesn't address the actual concern?
What happens when I just stop seeing stuff working that I have come to rely on and give feedback or "vote." Will I just be ignored?
Not a rant to community members or volunteers, as in general I've found a lot more stuff on here than in RC's poor documentation. This seems, in general, like RC support management is broken. And on that, I think my own contributions are done here, there just isn't any more to be said about this.
Bottom line, customer is handled. Since RC we have customers asking why they hear a cell phone ringing in the background? We put it on silent then when in the warehouse or copier room can't feel it. Missed call, missed opportunity. RC told to log in and out of app each time. Really? That's the answer? They are a software VoIP company, that's their wheel house.
RC Sales team said the feature was there. Nope.
RC Sales team said they could fix it. Nope
RC Sales team said they are working on it. Nope.
RC Sales team said put it out on the Community board. Really?!
Why should I have to that, fix the damn thing.
We deployed Ringcentral globally with the intention of being a Softphone (desktop app) / Mobile App only environment. Our users are trained to forward calls to another device when they are out of the office. Unfortunately, the forwarding option (under Users Call Handling and Forwarding) is limited to Softphone only. The mobile app is not available as another forwarding option which causes an issue if a user is strictly using the mobile app.
Can we please add the mobile app as a forwarding option?
I read your reply to Mike after Karim voiced his need for the feature. What I don't think that either of you understand is that when you forward to the other person's desk phone or softphone you are ACTUALLY forwarding it to their direct dial number.
So, if you or your people follow my previous instruction on making sure that the Mobile App is turned on in Calling & Forwarding, the person WILL INDEED receive the call on their Mobile App if they are away from their office or computer.
If, for example, I worked for you and my direct dial number (assigned to either/both my desk phone and my softphone) was (999) 123-4567, you would simply enter either one of those as the device too be forwarded to. If I had the Desktop & Mobile App selection turned ON, the phone call would be forwarded to BOTH my desktop/softphone AND my Mobile App.
Does that make sense? Just try it and you will see that it does work. That's the way I get forwarded calls and forward calls every day!
Just remember that it's important for the RECEIVING party to have Desktop & Mobile App turned ON in the Calling & Forwarding section of their User profile. Anyone you want to forward to and have them receive it on their Mobile App must have it turned on or it won't go to their mobile app.
Here's our workflow:
1. User1 is going on vacation. Under "Call Handling & Forwarding" > "Forward to another user's phones", he selected "User2's Softphone".
2. User1 is now on vacation and signs out of R/C for desktop and his mobile app.
3. User2 is logged out of his desktop Softphone but is active on his mobile app.
4. When attempting to dial to User1's direct line, the call routes straight to User1's voicemail, ignoring User2's mobile app.
**and yes, both users have Desktop and Mobile App selection turned On.
I've already raised a ticket to Ringcentral and they confirmed that the only way around this is by forwarding to a call queue or ring group, which tricks the system to dialing desk, softphone and mobile apps. The "Forwarding to other user's phone" option is device specific -- strictly for desk phones and softphones.. mobile apps are not part of that option yet (which is my primary feature request).
Hope this makes sense?
Okay...with your workflow I see how that doesn't work for you.
It is I who have to apologize as I didn't understand, or misread, your needs. I didn't take into account someone totally going off the grid (i.e., on vacation or otherwise fully disconnected) and made an assumption. I tested under your scenario, based on the workflow you described, and you were absolutely correct. Sorry if I lead you astray.
This by no means is a replacement for the feature request – but rather a temporary work around I have in use today.
I have a real estate client who has agents using the mobile app exclusively. Sound much like what you have. When an agent goes on vacation, another agent must field their calls so they can show the house, answer questions, etc. So, the first thing I did was ordered a Google Voice number (free). Then I created a "Vacation" template that is set up to unconditionally forward all calls to the GV#. When agent 1 goes on vacation I set up an advanced rule for the days they will be going on vacation (that way I don't have go in and remove when they return – it automatically stops forwarding). I then log into the GV# and forward to agent 2's RC DID. When a call comes in for agent 1 it does ring agent 2's mobile app. And if agent 2 doesn't answer, the call deposits into agent 2's VM. The good thing is this even works on internal calls when desk phone users dial the 4-digit extension for agent 1. Watcha think?
Thanks for the recommendation for your workaround. While it does work, I think this wouldn't scale well for a larger company with employees in numerous countries. Having an administrator manage everyone's unconditionally forwards doesn't help with our self-service model.
Sorry, we don't have an ETA at this time regarding if/when the feature will be available.
Feature Request: Allow the Desktop App and Smart Phone to be relocatable in the order of calls for forwarding. I have been made aware that it is currently an unchangeable default to ring the desktop app and the phone app first. Needless to say, it seems illogical to have an incoming call ring my desktop application and my smartphone application first if I am sitting at my desk and use a physical phone. It should ring my desktop phone first and if not answered, revert to my Desktop App and Smartphone App. That way, it's an automatic forward if I desire it to be that way. This would seem easy for you to do. Per your request, we have 13 users - business account - United States.
Under User Settings/Call Handling & Forwarding you can select to accept incoming calls in order by your preference. But I cannot move the Desktop app & Smartphone app from the number one spot. We would prefer to have our Polycom desktop phones ring first and then the app
Is there any other way to ring the mobile app after the deskphone?
- Account type U.S
- A brief description of the business
- A high level description of the product or feature being requested: have the capability to choose if Ill ring my mobile application after my deskphone
- A typical use case scenario explaining how your business would use the feature: this is to give our company a chance to answer phone call even we are not on our deskphone where we primarily focus on receiving all call thru deskphone only
- Benefit of such feature: privacy not to use personal number as forwarding number
- Include any related case number if applicable 06584241
- Number of Users and/or Digital Lines: 4 users 4 digital lines
To Configure the Mobile App and change the priority to be after the desktop call forward.
1) available / away status - when set to "away", then this device would not ring and would be skipped in the ring sequence (without having to log off / on)
2) auto-device status, based on all 3 of these types of devices being network aware (ie. they know if they are on the same network as each other) then only the one set as "primary" would ring when all are on the same network. If on separate networks, then they would ring in sequence as setup (or not ring at all if set to "away" or logged off)
would you explain your call flow so we could assist?
Certified RC consultant
Have you tried to have your desk phone ring and then your mobile and desktop app only ring after the desk phone has not been answered?
A lot of people would like to be able to this for various reasons. For me, mainly because when I at my desk I don't want to hear my desktop and/or mobile ringing for the first 10-15 seconds or so. Only if I go away from my desk would I appreciate the fact that my mobile will ring. And I don't want to mess around with toggling settings, etc. every time I leave or return to my desk.
We're mid-deploy with RingCentral and already users are surprised by this lapse in functionality, myself included.
It's also unsettling that the only official responses (minus merging this thread with others...amplifying its desire) thus far have been "Sorry" and "we don't have an ETA."
Specifically, the Desktop App needs to be treated separately from the Smartphone App.
Ideally, it would be best if software would know if you were active on the desktop app or not, and forward to your mobile app (assuming you were logged in and open to receive calls) if you were idle. Slack does this beautifully.
However, the easiest way to do this currently would be to allow users to set their desktop app to ring for a certain amount of time, then forward calls to their smartphone app.
As it stands right now, if I stay logged in to both the desktop app and the smartphone apps, I get calls in both places. This is quite annoying.
I understand your frustration. This Community Board is here to help customers who ask specific questions or need help with a configuration. We also monitor feature requests and send regular reports to our Product Team. So, yes, these topics are seen. However, our Product Team does not have the time to respond to the multitude of feature requests we receive per month, which is roughly over 100. Sometimes things can be a little tricky to implement due to the very nature of VoIP (which is very different from a POTS line). I have not heard anything from our Product Team on this when I have brought it to their attention. If I do hear something, I will most certainly share because I also would like to see this happen.

Today is the fiftieth anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's historic flight. On 12 April 1961, aboard Vostok 1, Gagarin became the first human being in space. He madeone orbit of the Earth, in one hour and forty-eight minutes. In order to claim the FAI world record, the pilot has to be in the spacecraft when it lands, but Gagarin actually ejected seven kilometres above the ground and descended by parachute. This only came to light after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It does not not in any way invalidate Gagarin's achievement.
Today is also the thirtieth anniverary of the launch of Columbia, the first Space Shuttle to reach orbit. Sadly, Columbia was lost on 1 February 2003 when it broke up on re-entry after sixteen days in orbit, killing all seven of its crew.
Gagarin's flight ushered in over a decade of astonishing achievements in space, by both Soviet cosmonauts and US astronauts. The Apollo Moon landings were, of course, the pinnacle. The Space Shuttle programme – with a design resulting from a series of unwise compromises – never made travel to orbit as routine as NASA had hoped, but after two decades of political vacillation it did finally gives us the International Space Station. It could also be argued that the Shuttle has restricted humanity to Earth orbit for the foreseeable future. The rest of the Solar system, the really exciting missions, now belongs to robots. And now the Shuttle is to be retired. Only two are still flying, and both will be decommissioned later this year.
It would be a shame if the achievements of the last fifty years in crewed space travel were to prove an historical aberration. Yuri Gagarin led the way, and each year we should honour that by doing more in space, by putting into effect plans to take us beyond the Moon, out to where the future of our race truly lies.

In our company we need a calendar on the default sharepoint page (or homepage) where every user can synchronise it with MS-Outlook. Ok, thats not the problem.
But what we also need is if a user connects to the default-website or to his MS-Outlook and views the calendar, he should see ALL user entries in there without selecting appropriate users.
Until now i could view entries of other users but i have to select them repeatedly every time i view the calendar.
That means we need a calendar where everyone (who is authorized) could view everyone's entries therefore it is not necessery to select single users. And add his own entry if he want to.

If you are thinking of updating to ZA 8.0.065.000 you might like to wait a while until the UI problem is fixed.
What happens is your startup takes ages and ZA reports that protection is enabled and it is trying to "initialize UI" It remains like this permanently, and keeps flashing a UI initialization pop-up. Your internet browsing will also probably slow to a crawl.
The solution that I have found was to download ZA for later installation, boot into safe mode and completely uninstall the old version. Also uninstalling the Anti-Spyware thingy.
Boot into normal mode and install without the anti-spyware toolbar. You should now be able to access the UI.
Not sure what causes this but it does not seem to be restricted to the free version, and apparently affects both XP and Vista installations.

The Maker
For over 30 years, Tommy Hilfiger has been translating the American dream into clothes – a meeting in New York with the eternal sunny boy of the fashion industry.
He strolls casually into his office, the very picture of serenity: Tommy Hilfiger, 67, founder of the eponymous fashion label. Dark suit, skinny tie, black shoes – his entrance is that of a man who has nothing left to prove, pretty much unaffected by the buzz all around him, the nervous staff tightening up schedules, pressing elevator buttons and wearing worried faces. In front of the building on Madison Avenue, a flag sporting the brand logo flutters in the breeze – blue, white and red. But how does he see the country? What does the USA mean to someone who has adopted the U.S. national colors for his fashion label?
Mr. Hilfiger, this sentence came from you: "I am thankful to be an American dreamer." What values do you associate with that?
I was talking less about values than about the opportunity to live a dream unhindered. That is not possible in many countries, but here in the U.S. it is, provided you have the necessary determination and drive. Being an American gave me the freedom to do what I believe in.
That sounds very patriotic …
To me, the American flag is the most important symbol. I was raised that way. Every morning at school, we recited the pledge of allegiance to the flag and I always imagined that the stars and stripes on it were fluttering proudly in the wind.
Do you tear up when you hear the national anthem at the Superbowl?
I'd have to be able to hear it first. There's far too much background noise in the stadium for that.
We are meeting here in your office on Madison Avenue, where your sofas also pay tribute to an American success story: jeans. Is that pure coincidence?
No. We used old jeans sewn together to make two huge sofas. It took a Parisian furniture maker two years to complete the job.
Was some of the denim from Hilfiger jeans?
I ask you! As if any of our stock got left on the shelf…
Now he's grinning. This was, of course, a sly dig at the competition: Look how good we are. Sales in 2017 totaled 7.4 billion US dollars. After a long period of stagnation in the noughties, the brand is back on top form again. It has just announced a collaboration with Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton, and will be launching a collection under his name in the fall. Auto fan Hilfiger is delighted.
Jeans are among the iconic items of American attire. Will it still matter whether a trend comes from the United States in the future?
America is a breeding ground for pop culture. Fashion, art, music and the entertainment industry all influence the world. Take a look at the streetwear revolution of recent years. It started in the USA. I am proud that we are a part of that.
In the mid-1980s, your company began to establish the laid-back preppy look – what was the industry's reaction?
At the time, they looked down on us because we defined ourselves as a brand for everyone, not just for a handful of affluent customers. And that still holds true today. We aim to provide a premium product, to offer good quality at a fair price. The elite wanted nothing to do with any of that.
You mean the haute couture houses that until recently were accustomed to dictating fashion?
Today, we can see that things have come full circle. In order to gain new impulses, haute couture is now taking its lead from casual wear, which has now become the catalyst for those houses' growth.
Louis Vuitton is now cooperating with the New York skater label, Supreme, for example…
and they have just signed up Virgil Abloh, who founded the Off-White label. He will be reinventing streetwear at luxury level. This is a clear indication that we live in a time with no real style rules. People can wear whatever they please, and that makes for the greatest possible individualism. Virgil will take his ideas from what is also there for any of us to observe: from films, from the celebrity world, from pop idols. People want to improve their look, that's a fundamental desire. Clothes are a catalyst that helps them to achieve that.
When he says that, it sounds a little like a motto that he's been propagating for years. Polished, polite, correct. Hilfiger is careful not to offend. Maybe the past has taught him caution. He became popular in the 1980s with an ad on Times Square, when as a still lesser known fashion designer, he impudently compared himself to the big names of the trade: Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Perry Ellis. The press trashed him and his "colleagues" treated him with contempt, but fashion fans were fascinated by the brand and its refreshing attitude to life.
What do customers get – back then and today – when they buy Hilfiger clothes?
Authenticity. It's not an invented name, it's not a label that was created solely for the purpose of selling clothes. Tommy Hilfiger has great credibility; the brand arrived at its mainstream status via the streets.
Your designs became famous overnight in 1994, when the rapper Snoop Dogg appeared on the TV show "Saturday Night Live" in a rugby shirt with your name emblazoned on it. How did you feel at that moment?
I was incredibly proud of being a part of what at the time was a burgeoning youth culture. I had closely followed its emergence from the underground, but never imagined the far-reaching consequences it would have, never imagined that hip-hop would suddenly outshine all other trends.
Framed photos of hip-hop stars hang on the walls of his office, but even more of 1970s and 1980s icons: David Bowie, Mick Jagger, all of them his contemporaries and role models. As a teenager in upstate New York, Hilfiger achieved coolness with his taste in music. Dyslexic and no ace on the football team, but he knew which records to listen to.
Back then, you wanted to be a rock star. How did your passion for music become a passion for design?
Lots of rock musicians came to New York for the first time in the late 1960s: Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin. They poured into the city from all directions, Hendrix from Seattle, Janis Joplin from San Francisco, the Stones from London. Together, they formed a cultural revolution that changed my world, the world of a teenager growing up in a small town four hours from Manhattan. In New York, people were wearing fringes, bell-bottoms and floral shirts. For me it was an irresistibly cool vibe and I just lapped it all up.
Only you couldn't play an instrument…
I liked the clothes. My hometown, Elmira, was devoid of fashion, so I opened a small shop, People's Place, and with a couple of friends sold bell-bottom jeans from the East Village, joss sticks, jewelry and candles. Within a radius of 100 kilometers, we were the only people selling this new lifestyle.
What promise did the revolution hold?
It stood for the anti-establishment and was therefore against everything that had been my life up till then, the average world of American television sitcoms in which everything was perfect. I rebelled against all of that. I wanted to experience something more dangerous and more exciting.
And, did you?
Take a look around you.
That was also the time when you experienced your first "relationship crisis" with your native country. The Vietnam War was raging and you decided that if you were called up, you would emigrate to Canada. Did your parents berate you for being unpatriotic?
My father felt I would be stabbing my country in the back. For him, the whole hippy revolution was totally removed from the American way of life. I never gave a thought to such concepts because I was far too busy setting up something of my own after school. All I knew was that I didn't want to go to college, that I wanted to stay a part of that culture.
Are there any traces of the psychedelic hippy era left in U.S. society today, has anything survived?
Of course. Right now, we are seeing people come together in grass-roots movements again, which is very much in the spirit of those years. They're organizing demonstrations, protesting against the government.
Hilfiger's assistant shifts nervously in her chair. Did the boss just make a statement on the current political situation? Such comments are not appreciated in the Hilfiger corporation, where the designer still oversees the creative process but no longer owns the business. It is now the property of the U.S. Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation, which also owns Calvin Klein. So it's better to steer clear of politics, express no opinion, upset no one.
Social cohesion is something you care about. Would you say it is jeopardized or reinforced when people come together to protest?
To be honest, I see greater cohesion in society today than existed in the 1950s or 1960s. People have no problems accepting minorities – that was inconceivable in my youth. Same-sex marriage, equal rights for people of different skin colors: In my experience, young people, in particular, today are absolutely color-blind – in the good sense. I see that as a significant improvement on the old days.
You don't want to politicize the fashion industry, but is that even possible in light of what you yourself have just described?
We are a democratic brand…
No. Let's put it this way: We are integrative. I would like to make clothes for everyone, regardless of their skin color, sexual orientation, political party, size, age and so on. That is my statement for the world.
Do you sometimes catch yourself thinking how much easier life was in the 1970s, without the information overload we have today?
There were plenty of things I simply didn't care about back then; I never got wind of them. With the omnipresence of news these days, that's hard to imagine. But we cannot turn back the clock. We see that in fashion, too.
What do you mean by that?
The millennials have no interest in the kind of fashion shows we used to have. I also find them boring these days. In a short space of time, several models walk by in new pants or shirts – great! The young target audience is looking for an experience they can share with other people on social media. They want to buy everything at the same moment and wear it the next day, not wait six months for the designs to reach the stores. That's why we stage our shows as events, a concert in London, maybe, or a two-day street carnival in New York. It's hard to reach young people any other way.
Imagine you could give your younger self a piece of advice – what would it be?
Stay focused – concentrate on your dream.

What's in a name?
Posted by Shae on December 11, 2003
In Reply to: Another thought posted by Word Camel on December 11, 2003
: : : : : : : : how to pronoun ANNETTE
: : : : : : : Not sure where you're from, but if you leave off the last 'e', that's exactly how you pronounce it - ie. "Annett". It's a french thing - do you agree MichaelFR?
: : : : : : : I'd also venture to add that the question you should have asked was 'how do you "pronounce" Annette'. You omitted the 'ce' on the end of 'pronounce'. But that also could have been a typo? Where do you come from, what is your native language?
: : : : : : If we accept that the intended word was 'ANNETTE' and that the question was "what is the impersonal pronoun?" - as in snow and snowing - then I have to say I don't know of one. It would be bizarre to ask how to pronounce Annette but I'll try; 'a - net' There, that's my best shot.
: : : : :
: : : : : Good thought Harold. Didn't consider the pronoun angle. OK, well now I'm confused. Deepi, what exactly are you asking here?
: : : :
: : : : How do you pronoun a net?
: : : : Do me a favour guvnor...
: : : : "Annette" is an elongated Gallic diminuative 'Ann' - could have used 4 letters "A-net", but oh no - had to use 7. Entirely typical of those inefficient latin types used to wasting European budgetary resources. If they had been 'prudent' in their spelling, Gordon Brown could have saved them enough letters to write "WMD", which his ami Tony (see - saved 2 or 3 letters from "Antony"/"Anthony") would like to have found.
: : : : If the French were not so wasteful, we'd have found WMD by now.
: : :
: : : Oh Lewis you crack me up. It's because the French are so wasteful (read poetic) that they probably score more often than the rest of the Western world (or supposedly anyway). Where's the romance in WMD????
: :
: : How to pronounce Annette: if the woman named is Anglo, pronounced "a - NET", last syllable stressed, first syllable a short A as in "hat"; if Annette is French, it's "ah - NET", same stress on last syllable, but the first syllable is a more open A, and shorter, the "ah" said quickly.
: : Good luck, deepi!
: Could the answer be 'she'? Annette is a female name so it would use the feminine pronoun, 'she'. I find non-native English speakers often have trouble with the gender of pronouns because it isn't always clear whether the name referred to is masculine or feminine.
: Camelita
A lady by the name of Annette Curtin lives in my neighbourhood. And a friend of a friend has decided not to take her fiance's name after marriage because she'd be Jacqueline Hyde. And then there's the top Irish judge of pedegree cattle. His name is Willie Stroker.

'Ain't Misbehavin'' heats up winter nights
Stepping from Chicago's icy streets into the cozy confines of Stage 773 on a recent frigid Friday, I found myself in the middle of a party. For that's exactly what Porchlight Music Theatre's rousing revival of "Ain't Misbehavin' " is.
Porchlight's production of this affectionate tribute to jazz pianist and composer Thomas "Fats" Waller -- master of the stride piano, pillar of the Harlem Renaissance and composer of "Honeysuckle Rose," "Handful of Keys" and the titular tune -- is as ebullient as the man who inspired it.
Conceived by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby, Jr., the 1978 revue consists of 30 songs, mostly by Waller (with Harry Brooks and Andy Razaf), plus some gems covered by the Harlem-born entertainer. Sly, funny, sexy and poignant, "Ain't Misbehavin'" is an altogether splendid homage wonderfully realized by music director Jaret Landon and director/choreographer Brenda Didier, of Lincolnshire.
Talk about a cold weather cure. Didier's fast-moving, toe-tapping production -- with its high-stepping period choreography -- sizzles thanks to five lively, likable singer/actors and a top-drawer quintet whose members contribute equally to the show's success. Led by kinetic conductor/pianist Austin Cook, bassist Chris Thigpen, drummer Michael Weatherspoon, trumpeter Shaun Johnson and saxophonist Rajiv Halim, the music is bold but never overbearing. The musical interlude that begins Act II is all them. And well-deserved.
The time is winter, 1944. The place is an after-hours party in a Harlem basement. Robin DaSilva is the seen-it-all diva with a voice like warm molasses who is as engaging belting out the jolly "Cash for Your Trash" as she is expressing the ambivalence that underscores the haunting "Mean to Me."
Sharriese Hamilton is the saucy up-and-comer unafraid to indulge in a little mischief and a lot of jitterbugging. Lina Wass, of Hoffman Estates, is the chanteuse who deftly delivers torch songs and blues ballads. Her duet with DaSilva on "Find Out What They Like" -- about how a woman can satisfy her man -- is a hoot.
The agile Donterrio Johnson plays the sly charmer, who infuses the seductive "Viper's Drag" with a hint of menace. The endlessly personable Lorenzo Rush Jr. of West Chicago, is the gregarious, sexy charmer (and Waller stand-in) who nearly brings down the house with his outsize take on "Your Feet's Too Big." He and Johnson are also responsible for another comedic highlight, the deliciously raucous duet "Fat and Greasy."
In fact, the production's highlights are almost too numerous to mention. There's the exuberant "Handful of Keys," where singers mimic their instrumentalist counterparts; the elegant, luscious-sounding "Lounging at the Waldorf" and the infectious "This Joint is Jumpin'," which concludes Act I.
While up-tempo tunes dominate the show, its most moving moment comes courtesy of the transfixing, beautifully performed "(What Did I Do to be So) Black and Blue," a provocative lament on racism and the wounds it inflicts.
This is one of the most intimate moments in a show that, even in a 147-seat theater, still feels intimate. And inclusive. Didier and company manage to make all of us feel part of the show. So much so that several audience members, at the performance I attended, felt compelled to express their appreciation out loud. I understand the impulse. When the music's infectious and the joint is jumpin', folks can't help but join in.

AUGUSTA, Maine — Roughly 100 attorneys working for the state have been waiting nearly two months to receive substantial raises approved by the Legislature but held up by Gov. Paul LePage.
The Legislature approved 4 percent raises for every district attorney, assistant district attorney and assistant attorney general in the state, effective July 1. So far, the roughly 85 district attorneys and assistant district attorneys have received their pay bump, but the assistant attorneys general have not.
The assistant attorneys general also have not received the 1 percent cost-of-living wage increases approved for all state employees a year and a half ago, said Attorney General Janet Mills.
"This certainly seems political," said Mills, a Democrat, noting the strained relationship between herself and LePage, a Republican waging a tough re-election fight.
The average salary for an assistant attorney general is about $69,000, Mills said. The raises required by the supplemental budget — approved by the Legislature over LePage's veto — would not affect Mills' annual earnings.
Mills said the financial order that would green-light the raises was not the only one sitting on LePage's desk. She also was awaiting his signature so she could hire a paralegal for the Medicaid Fraud Unit, funded entirely with federal dollars, and fill other vacancies.
Meanwhile, the governor signed financial orders in late June that gave raises to more than 50 members of his executive staff, including members of the Cabinet, many of whom earn more than $80,000 per year.
During a meeting of the Appropriations Committee on Tuesday, Senate Chairwoman Dawn Hill, D-York, said she wasn't upset that LePage had given raises to his employees because the supplemental budget allowed for them.
It was the fact that he gave allowed raises to his staff but not required raises to the assistant attorneys general that irked Hill.
"When others have all received it, it seems like a negative statement that this group doesn't," she said. "We approved it, the money is available, and there's a [budget] surplus. So why isn't this group getting what they deserve?"
Adrienne Bennett, the governor's press secretary, said Tuesday that the governor had not signed any financial orders that directed money to the attorney general's office since the end of the last fiscal year in June. She said the governor was concerned because the AG's office had a $255,000 shortfall at the end of the fiscal year.
"There's some concern there, about how that budget is being handled," Bennett said. "The governor, being fiscally responsible and prudent with the budget, had some concerns and has not signed a financial order since that time."
The Office of the Attorney General had required additional funding to fill vacancies in several district attorneys' offices, Mills said, but she vociferously denied that there had been any shortfall.
State budgets often anticipate that open positions will remain vacant for a certain period of time, she said, but the district attorneys couldn't staff all the cases on their dockets without filling positions. When that happens, she said, there's a state salary plan in place that allow for funds to be allocated from other departments that have unanticipated vacancies.
"If [LePage] wants us to keep those positions vacant for six months to achieve the attrition rate, then I guess we could," Mill said. "But there was no shortfall. …. We're the only agency in state government to not get the cost-of-living increase that was agreed upon a year and a half ago. This is political manipulation."
The governor regularly accuses Mills of working against him as a political actor, rather than as the state's top legal authority.
"Attorney General Janet Mills was appointed by the Democratic-led Legislature, and she works for them," he said in a recent radio address.
LePage and Mills often have clashed over the governor's agenda. Most recently, LePage lashed out at Mills for ruling that he could not unilaterally prevent certain undocumented aliens from receiving General Assistance, and that such a policy change would violate the Constitution.
LePage also challenged Mills to "sue me" earlier this year when she penned a note urging him to release public documents he had been withholding from reporters for weeks, lest he be found in violation of the state's public access law.
Mills said Tuesday that it was not strange for an attorney general and a governor to disagree, but it was unusual for a governor to withhold money that had been allocated by the Legislature.
"It affects the morale of those out there day in and day out, in the courts of this state, protecting the public interest, protecting families and children, prosecuting crime and putting people in jail for breaking the law," she said. "This demeans people, and it's a rather mean-spirited thing to do."

After 10 years away, it's safe to say that David Bowie had some creativity to spare. He issued a 14-track comeback album in March 2013 — and then added five more songs for an expanded edition later in the fall. And he's not close to finished.
Tony Visconti, producer for 'The Next Day,' says there remain two or three additional songs from those sessions — and they're not throwaways. In fact, he describes them as "astounding," adding that they too may see release.
That's big news for fans who pushed 'The Next Day' to gold-selling status in five countries, including the U.K. Bowie hadn't released any new music since the 'Heathen' album in 2003.
"We were very excited with the reaction," Visconti said, after accepting an honor on Bowie's behalf at the Music Producers Guild Awards. "No one believed that David Bowie was going to make another album and so the timing was perfect, because everyone kind of gave up on him. There were rumors of bad health and rumors of retirement, and I'm laughing my head off every time I hear them. I'm in the studio with a very healthy man who has no problem writing songs: He wrote easily 30 songs for that album."

I love this snack sign up! Such a great idea! Thank you for sharing! Could I possibly get your help with something? I have tried to upload a document picture, like your snack worksheet, to my personal blog and have it linked to google docs, but I cannot figure out how to do it! I thought maybe I'd ask an expert like yourself If you have a minute, could you please reply to this comment and tell me how to do it? I'd be so grateful. Thank you!

After you upload your document in Google docs right click to save picture as. Go to share and change settings from private to public on web. When you do this you will get a link, copy the link. Upload the saved picture into your post and paste the link. You can also save pictures from PowerPoint. instead of saving as a pdf save a a jpeg image. Then you would still link that picture with the link you copied. Hope that makes sense.

New research shows that almost 90% of home movers find the process stressful, while almost two fifths of recent movers paid out an extra £5,000 over their budget. So to help avoid the stress and additional costs, we've put together a panel of experts to give you the dos and don'ts when moving
Most people expect moving home to be a testing and costly experience, but research by MoneySuperMarket shows that 86 per cent of home movers found it stressful and that Brits are paying out an additional £17billion in costs they hadn't planned for.
Almost two fifths (39%) of recent home movers paid out an extra £5,000 on average on top of what they budgeted for.
Almost half (46%) also felt they weren't in control of the process while moving home has forced a fifth (19%) to compromise their career and has caused arguments with their partner (20%).
The results have been released to coincide with the launch of MoneySuperMarket's Home Mover Hub and its Cost of Moving Calculator, which are designed to give people more control throughout the home moving process.
But with expert help, moving needn't be as stressful or costly as the survey shows.
To get the inside scoop on the dos and don'ts of moving, we've assembled a panel of experts to give you advice on the legal aspects, surveys, insurance and the moving process itself.

January 12, 2009
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The University of Colorado at Boulder has risen on the Peace Corps' top 25 list of large schools producing Peace Corps Volunteers. With 102 alumni currently serving as Peace Corps Volunteers, CU-Boulder is No. 2 in the 2009 rankings. Since Peace Corps' inception, 2,157 alumni of CU-Boulder have served in the Peace Corps, making it the No. 5 all-time producer of volunteers.
The University of Washington holds the top rank for large schools, with 104 graduates serving as Peace Corps Volunteers. In the medium school category, George Washington University ranks No. 1, with 57 graduates serving. For small schools, the University of Chicago ranks highest, with 35 graduates currently serving as volunteers.
"This is a great honor for the University of Colorado at Boulder," said CU-Boulder Chancellor G.P. "Bud" Peterson. "It is also a tribute to the thousands of our students and alumni who, over two generations, have translated their idealism and desire to serve into the betterment of communities around the world."
CU-Boulder ranked No. 3 in the nation for the number of graduates serving as Peace Corps volunteers in the 2008 rankings, and ranked sixth on the all-time list of top-producing schools.
Peace Corps Director Ron Tschetter praised all of the program's volunteers at colleges and universities across the country.
"The Peace Corps relies heavily on the graduates of contributing schools from across the country. The education and experiences add to the diversity of the Peace Corps and its success in the host countries," Tschetter said. "Currently, there are over 3,000 colleges and universities with alumni serving as Peace Corps Volunteers in 76 countries worldwide. We want to thank the schools and the graduates for their continued dedication to the mission of the Peace Corps."
The University of California, Berkeley maintains the No. 1 all-time rank, with 3,371 graduates becoming Peace Corps Volunteers since 1961. The University of Washington is now ranked second among the largest schools, with 2,848 graduates serving in the Peace Corps. Together, the schools have contributed to the Peace Corps' 16 percent increase in applications this year, the largest increase in five years.
Schools debuting on the Peace Corps' top 25 list for large schools were Ohio State University and the University of Virginia. Medium schools debuting on the top 25 list include the University of Notre Dame and the College of Charleston, among others.
Schools are ranked according to the size of the student body. Small schools are those with fewer than 5,000 undergraduates, medium-sized schools have between 5,001 and 15,000 undergraduates and large schools have more than 15,000 undergraduates.
The majority of volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since its inception 47 years ago have been college graduates; however, it is not a requirement for service. Currently, 83 percent of volunteers have at least an undergraduate degree, with 9 percent of Peace Corps Volunteers having earned a graduate level degree.
As the Peace Corps approaches its 50th anniversary, its service legacy continues to promote peace and friendship around the world. Historically, over 195,000 volunteers have helped promote a better understanding between Americans and the people of the 139 countries in which they have served. Applications to serve in the Peace Corps have increased 16 percent this past year, the largest boost in the last five years.
Currently, 7,876 Peace Corps Volunteers are serving in 76 countries. Peace Corps Volunteers must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age. Peace Corps service is a 27-month commitment. To learn more about the Peace Corps, please visit www.peacecorps.gov.

BEDFORD, N.H. — Republican Rudy Giuliani said Monday the reputation of the United States has suffered globally not so much because of arrogant actions but for lack of salesmanship about benefits of democracy.
If he is elected president, he said, he would seek ambassadors who would work hard to sell U.S. strengths to foreigners, not just explain those distant nations to Washington.
Giuliani, who is making a late push in the first primary state, also rekindled a dispute with rival Mitt Romney, accusing the former governor of neighboring Massachusetts of presiding over a crime surge while in office.
"I think Mitt kind of runs away from his record as governor," Giuliani said, a day after the two candidates clashed over Romney's appointment of a judge who later freed a convicted killer who went on to murder a pair of newlyweds.
Romney has called for the judge's resignation, and cited statistics showing a decrease in crime in Massachusetts.
Politics of New Hampshire
Giuliani, who spoke with reporters about the crime issue after a morning speech, had avoided campaigning in New Hampshire, where Romney leads in the polls, but he has mounted a late challenge with advertising, a weekend bus tour and promises of more visits.
One sign of his heightened interest was his appearance at the breakfast: His staff offered his attendance only in the past week, sending organizers scrambling to assemble the crowd and set up the food and meeting room.
On the subject of promoting America abroad, Giuliani spoke of the benefits at a "Politics and Eggs" breakfast sponsored by the New England Council and the New Hampshire Political Library.
"These are beautiful things, almost like gifts given to us by God, the wonderful resources of our country, the great system that our framers created that was ingenious," Giuliani said
He added: `We've got to have a State Department that gets that, that understands that, that we've got a reputation that needs to be defended and protected. We are a country of good motives, of good people, of great accomplishments. We don't want to force 'em on anybody in the world; we'd like to share it with them. That's what diplomacy is about. It's about sharing who we are with others and getting them to understand us better and understand our motives, because we don't have bad motives."
Taking some of the blame
Nonetheless, he conceded problems in the Middle East and the war in Iraq may be partially to blame on the United States, saying, "We didn't know enough about that culture in advance. We assumed things that might come out of our knowledge of Western culture or even other Asian cultures or Asian cultures that we'd become familiar with, like Japan and China."
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
At another point, he said: "Maybe sometimes we're too short; maybe sometimes we are too arrogant. Everybody has good points and bad points. One of the great things about Americans are we are very productive, we are very logical, we're terrific problem solvers, and sometimes we're too impatient."
He said those problems could be overcome with diplomacy that better understands foreign cultures.
Elsewhere during his hourlong remarks, Giuliani pounded away on the theme of experience, saying his background as a Justice Department office, U.S. attorney and city leader not only gave him the record to support his campaign promises, but also the traits to enact them.
In particular, he cited his tax-cutting record, which he said stands either at 23 cuts or 15, the latter if you consider only ones that he proposed to the City Council.
"I'm ahead of any Republican candidate for president either 23-0 or 15-0. That's almost a Patriots score," the mayor said, alluding to New England's undefeated football team.
Giuliani also picked up the endorsement of Jim Rappaport, a former chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party. He and Romney have been at odds since 2002, when Romney supported his hand-picked running mate - Kerry Healey - over Rappaport in a campaign for lieutenant governor.

Atlantic girls basketball coach George Butts is also a pastor, and his players say he is as much of a father figure as he is a coach.
PORT ORANGE — The first day George Butts ran practice as Atlantic High's girls basketball coach, he yelled at his players.
And they started crying.
Butts thought that maybe he should go back to coaching boys. But his assistant explained to him that you have to treat girls differently. Seventeen years later, Butts is still yelling, and his Sharks are thriving.
"I'm still stern, but it's how I talk to them,'' Butts said. "Once they got used to me and they realized it wasn't because I didn't like them, I could be myself.''
Butts, 51, a former football player at Seabreeze High, coached boys football, basketball and track for nine years at three area schools before he became the head girls basketball coach at Atlantic in 1996.
In his mind, coaching has always been the perfect complement to his other full-time job — pastor.
"I realized when I started (coaching) that this was a ministry,'' said Butts, whose job outside of Atlantic is lead pastor at New Heart Christian Center in Daytona Beach.
These days, his players are more likely to cry when their careers are over and they realize have to say goodbye to their coach and mentor.
"He's not just a coach,'' said star forward and Florida signee Ronni Williams. "He's a phenomenal guy. He looks after you. He takes care of you off and on the court. Anything you need to talk to him about, if it's something other than basketball, he's willing to talk to you and he has great advice.''
"He makes you want to be better in basketball and outside of basketball,'' guard Alexis Snead said. "If you're ready to give up, he'll hit you with a Bible scripture and tell you to keep going, keep pushing, because there are other people out there who have it worse.''
Butts has a record of 318-145 in 17 seasons at Atlantic. His teams have made the Final Four twice — in 1998 and 2011. This year, the Sharks are 17-6 and begin the postseason with a District 7-4A semifinal game against Orlando Jones at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Orlando Bishop Moore. A win will send them to the state playoffs.
Butts would love to win a state championship and believes the Sharks have as good a chance as they have ever had with Williams — the state's top-ranked college recruit — wrapping up her senior season.
But wins have always taken a back seat to helping his players succeed on and off the court.
"A lot of these kids have had tough upbringings,'' Butts said. "Some of them have gone on to college — some played basketball, some didn't, but they got their degrees, and I don't believe they would have stuck it out if I had not been here.''
Janea Williams, a 2008 graduate of Atlantic who received her bachelor's degree in sports management last month at the University of North Florida, credits Butts with helping to change her life.
"As a freshman (in high school), I had a bad attitude,'' she said. "I didn't care about anything. I went to one of his practices and I almost quit. But he kept motivating me. I learned so many things from him. By the time I became a senior, I was a totally different person.''
Janea Williams said Butts convinced her to go to college. Now, she is a fitness trainer at UNF and studying to be a certified strength and conditioning coach.
The irony of Butts' message to his players: "Graduate from college and make something of yourself,'' is that he accomplished the latter without getting a degree himself.
Butts said he has "been in church all his life.'' He was raised by his grandparents, who were both pastors at Butts Temple Church of God in Christ in Daytona Beach. He said he attended North Carolina A&T after graduating from Seabreeze but was called back home to help with the church after his grandfather died.
After brief stops at Daytona Beach Community College and Bethune-Cookman, Butts said he became the organist for evangelist Don Powell, touring the Caribbean for four years in the early '80s.
"That was a great adventure for a young man,'' he said.
"I think about it now,'' Butts said. "I wish I had finished (college), but this was the plan God had for me.''
Butts is a full-time campus adviser at Atlantic. He has been married for 30 years and has four children and four grandchildren, all of whom are involved with the church, he said.
His extended family are his current and former players.
"He's like a father figure to me,'' said Sharks point guard Shantazia Howard, who said she transferred from Spruce Creek three years ago, partly to play for Butts.
"I needed more guidance. I needed a coach that would reach out more,'' she said.
And she said she knew Butts would help make her a better basketball player.
"This is a high-standard program,'' Howard said. "The intensity level is very different.''
Butts said the players who come into his program now are prepped by former players, who tell them, "If he yells, he's not mad at you.''
"One of the young kids told me, 'I already heard about you in middle school,' '' Butts said. " 'They told us you were tough and you were going to get after us. And I was prepared for it.' ''

The wonderful thing about being onsite, of course, is that we can view "modern" records - those too new to be available online. Once the daily search fee of £15 is paid, you are free to view as many records as you can manage. There is a very nominal fee to either photocopy the images or download them to a USB stick. I am at the stage where I need access to the newer records to add foliage to my tree, so spent a lot of time transcribing.
I found one inaccurate record, and one that allowed the puzzle to have a couple of new pieces added to the picture.
By 4:30 my head was swimming with keeping the Marys straight. We headed back to the hotel to re-charge.
At 6:30, it was time to leave for the Stables at Prestonfield and the Taste of Scotland Dinner Show.
Salmon, hake and Finnan haddie in Mornay sauce and encased in puff pastry
Dessert was a very light raspberry Chranancan
song (by Scotland's Three Tenors accompanied by female vocalist Brigid Mhairi)
and dance (The Wee Highlanders and Prestonfield Dancers)
enhanced with video of some of the most stunning scenery in Scotland. The songs also gave a glimpse into the rich and embattled history of Scotland. Just prior to intermission, the haggis was piped in and host Cailean McLean addressed and then toasted the haggis.
During intermission, the audience had the opportunity to sample some haggis, bashed neeps and champit tatties
There was also the opportunity for audience participation during the Gay Gordon's, a sing-a-long and for Auld Lang Syne
The Taste of Scotland Show reminded me of Hogmanay parties at my mum and dad's. For anyone with Scottish ancestry, the Taste of Scotland Show is a must see.

Brent Elmore's 1963 Savoy
This Max Wedge Replica, Like The Fabled Originals, Is Truly Being Used Only As Intended
It is not often that Mopar Muscle will deliberately publish a story on a replicated factory drag car. A number of these machines eventually end up being passed off as something original, and this makes editors shrink back from anything questionable. However, when Brent Elmore showed up at a nationally-sanctioned drag race with this former six-cylinder Plymouth decked out like a Stage I Max Wedge, was willing to run it as hard as any original Max Wedge pilot might have, and won a class title with it, it was very hard to say no.
Elmore, 37, who lives in Crawfordsville, Indiana, with his wife Lisa, is clear about any questions up front. Its a clone. We built this car to have fun. Its street-tagged, but I enjoy running it in competition as well.
How well? At the 98 IHRAs Holley Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky, a race devoted solely to Sportsman competition, Elmore took home the aforementioned class win in A/Pure Stock Automatic, and also ran the car in the Stock Eliminator program. Not bad for a debut. However, only this stock image is new to the veteran driver, who has run bracket cars on and off for the last 17 years, including a front-engined 340 rail that ran as quick as 9.08 seconds.
The car, which looks factory stock other than the IHRA series decals in the rear quarter windows, was purchased as a fun daily driver in 1986. At the time, the Elmores had no intention of building a Max Wedge drag car out of it. However, they already had a Max Wedge motor that was in a 67 GTX they were driving around on the street machine circuit. Incidentally, that particular machine, despite the radical engine design, was street driven, never trailered. With all the components available, the inevitable soon became reality.
I always wanted a Max Wedge car, says Brent with a grin. We decided we would create a street/strip car using what we already had. The motor came out, we sold the GTX body to a Chrysler engineer, and here is where we ended up.
Jerry Stamps, a good friend with body and paint experience, was given the 63 Savoy body and proceeded to do a full restoration on it. This included new sheetmetal in front end, as well as a complete floor pan from a donor car from Georgia. Everything that would unbolt was stripped and repainted, with Brent and Jerry doing all of the work themselves. Ohio-based parts supplier Wayne Brewer gathered up some of the more unique Max Wedge parts to give the car a more racing-oriented appearance, including a radio delete plate.
Meanwhile, the Stage I wedge block was gone over by Woody Machine in Thorntown, Indiana, who also balanced the parts. Brent assembled the parts himself. JE Pistons with the standard 11.1 compression ratio went into the short block, as did a Stock Eliminator camshaft from Lunati. Interestingly, Brent chose to use a pair of original exhaust manifolds instead of headers, with the exhaust system routed through a pair of Flowmaster mufflers. A pair of #3447 Carters are on top of the vintage intake, and the car uses the stock dual-point distributor and Mopar coil and wires.
After 10 years of effort, the car was finally ready to go. The day the car won class honors in Kentucky, the Elmores efforts resulted in a great 12.20 timeslip (factored from an eighth-mile pass), which is very comparable to numbers generated in the early days of the Max Wedge program.
The advent of nostalgia racing has resulted in a lot of replicated cars, some being driven by the original factory racers who made them famous. Brent and Lisa Elmore might not be famous in that regard, but this Max Wedge replica, like the fabled originals, is truly being used only as intended.

BONIFAY � Holmes County School District invited local school pageant winners, Miss Ponce de Leon Makala Hicks, Little Miss Ponce de Leon Layla Jackson and Little Miss Poplar Springs Erilyn Smith, to their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 2.
BONIFAY � Holmes County School District invited local school pageant winners, Miss Ponce de Leon Makala Hicks, Little Miss Ponce de Leon Layla Jackson and Little Miss Poplar Springs Erilyn Smith, to their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 2.
�These girls are helping in representing our schools at the Miss National Peanut Festival Pageant,� said Superintendent Gary Galloway. �It�s a worth while experience. One that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.�
At the previous meeting of the HCSD held on Sept. 18, Holmes County resident Teresa Hamilton of Westville came before the Holmes County District School Board because of concerns she was having about where the bus stops to let her great-niece off and on.
�We have a problem,� said Hamilton. �The bus has been stopping at a particular spot for over 45 years without incident and now it�s been changed because they are saying it�s dangerous. How about it being dangerous dropping off a pre-schooler off at an empty house for two weeks.�
Hamilton explained that the old bus stop was at the bottom of a hill and the new one is at the top of a hill farther away from home.
School Board Chair Jason Motley said that the reason why they changed the location is because they had a log truck come in early one morning while the bus was loading and since it was on a hill the truck was having difficulty coming to a complete stop and there could have been an incident.
�I�m not in favor of changing the stop because I have a daughter that sometimes rides that bus and I�m aware of how dangerous that stop can be,� said Motley. �The first time the bus driver thought it was unsafe he reported it and then the Florida Highway Patrol went out to investigate and it was their recommendation that the location be changed.�
After school board member Sid Johnson recommended to go down and look at the stop the rest of the board members agreed they too would go take a look at the location and present their findings at the next school board meeting.
School board member Rusty Williams and Johnson reported that they had went out to the location and both agreed with the FHP that the school bus stop should remain in the new location.
The school board agreed that no action would be taken.
The school board approved of hiring Elisha Weeks as teacher at Bethlehem School and Holly Blane as teacher at Poplar Springs School for the 2012-2013 school year and accept the resignation of Julie White as Aide III Lunchroom Cashier at Bonifay Elementary School effective as of Sept. 24, 2012, David Davis as teacher at Ponce de Leon High School for retirement purposes effective as of Oct. 26, 2012 and Donald Dady as Assistant Principal at Bethlehem High School for retirement purposes effective as of Nov. 30, 2012.
The school board also approved of 2012-2013 School Advisory Councils, Out of County Students Amended, Invoices, Warrant List, Pay Outs over $3,000, Budget Amendments, Sept. 18 Minutes and the 2012-2013 Parent Guide.

There's more bad news coming out of Oprah's boarding school outside Johannesburg, South Africa.
Cops have opened an investigation after a student at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls arrived at a hospital Wednesday with the body of a newborn in a bag, ABC News reported.
The 17-year-old was treated for excessive bleeding, a police official told ABC. Authorities believe her baby was born at Winfrey's academy, which has experienced two sex scandals since its founding in 2007.
U.S. & World
In March 2009, the school reportedly expelled four students and suspended three others for sexually harassing and fondling classmates.
Around the same time, a dorm matron at the school was facing charges for allegedly sexually assaulting students in the school's first year of existence.
The official, Tiny Virginia Makop, was acquitted of her charges in a South African court in October.
Winfrey, a victim of abuse herself, said afterward she was "profoundly disappointed" in the decision.
She went on to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by the school's headmistress, whom Winfrey had fired in the wake of the 2007 sex abuse scandal.
The talk show mogul has so far not commented on the latest incident tied to her school.
No charges have been filed against the student with the dead baby, though that could change when the probe is completed, ABC reported.
Winfrey, who spent more than $40 million to establish the academy, has said she promised former South African President Nelson Mandela she'd open a school for poor, disenfranchised girls.

Thanks for explaining for me though...
I try
Sorry if I overstepped any bounds.
Same old, same old
Yeah, I guess...
That was some damn funny writing Humorbot!
But seriously lets face it...... Solo has that lucky scoundrel phasade goin on. It seems that luck alone lets him get through the hard situations! Where as Dash is more a professional merc... but it all comes down to a dog fight in outer space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solo: Chewie pass me a hydro spanner, Rendar has blown my hands off.
Chewie: RAAAArgh!!!!!!
Solo: Hit the hyperdrive you furry bas@#$!
i think dash would win in ship combat1
Yea, I think Dash is the better pilot, or he at least keeps his ship in better condition than Solo.
Why the hell is this thing in the roleplaying sections? It belongs back in Bounty Hunters, who's stupid idea was it to move it here?
It was aaron
and it was a good idea....
Thanks for the compliment btw Jodo Outkast...
I should've known.
And no it wasn't.
I don't care either way.
Well it is more of a Role-Playing genre. I mean we're taking on the roles of Lucas or another Star Wars writer in deciding who would win in a fight...
I'll say Han Solo, beccause If they fought in a movie George Lucas would make Han win, He makes the good guys always win.. ;(
And Dash is what?
If that's the case then it's a draw.
