These relationships provide 33 Forever even more access to a seat at the tables in mental health discussions and advocacy efforts.

Need quotes for hydraulic cantiliever residential use doors for a current project. For plans and questions please email me.
We are interested in a one-piece hydraulic door that is 20 feet wide and 12 feet tall. This is for a residential garage. We would want glass panels that are either frosted or slightly opaque. What kinds of design options are there and how is your pricing structured? What is a rough estimate of price range and how long does it take from order to install?
Wanted to get options and pricing for various size one-piece hydraulic door products for single family residential homes.
I am interested in understanding budget pricing for a 18' x 8' hydraulic designer door for a custom new home in Boulder, CO. It will have a fairly thick finish wood veneer build up on the exterior face (5/4, 6/4, 8/4 accoya wood slats).
I am not sure if you make small hydraulic or bi fold doors, but I am looking for around 400 36"x 80" - louvered, bi fold doors for a NV apartment complex. They will be used for the entrances of the HVAC units. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!
We are in the design phase of a private residence, and we are looking to use a Schweiss hydraulic or bi fold door at the garage / carport portion of the WA project. We were looking to see what typical details you may have for architects. Some general information is that the primary structural system will be a welded tube steel column and beam fabrication. Our clear opening dimension between the structural tube steel columns is 19'-6, and the clear dimension from the top of slab to tube steel header is 8' to 9' tall.
Please quote the following project. This is a CT residential development project that will be 18 units built over a 3 year span. I need a price for just one hydraulic door unit at this time for the template building that will be built this fall. I have preliminary drawings if you would like them for reference. Please contact me to discuss.
Looking for general pricing on residential hydraulic doors. Can you send me prices for standard single car garage. 8 x 8 or so. Not sure if standard size is substantially less than custom sizes - we are in pre planning phase on this project so can be flexible. Looking for factory style steel paned (or look alike) door. Also, this is to be used in the house, not garage, so we wouldnt want straps or bulky systems, so if the structure of the system depends on size of door, please let me know those perimeter. Also, curious of general shipping costs to Reno, NV. Thanks!
One of my customers expressed interest in your one-piece hydraulic door for a new custom home at the New Jersey Shore. He is also a pilot and is familiar with your bi-fold products and says Schweiss makes the best quality doors on the market. The home is still in planning stage. Approximate size of opening is 16' x 8' Please advise of the details you need to provide a proposal.
I have a very small residential project in NM under consideration. Can you give me a ballpark number for the least expensive option you would have for a contemporary all glass aluminum hydraulic door 12' x 8'?
Need to get rough est of cost and install for residential hydraulic door application. Glass door approx. 9.5 ft wide x 10 ft high for NY home.
Hi I'm writing to get a ballpark estimate and talk about the capabilities of your hydraulic residential door systems. We have a client in AR that wants a 12' wide by 12'-9" tall hydraulic one piece door that opens up completely and connects to the outdoors. Please give me a call/e-mail when you get a chance to discuss.
I'm looking for a hydraulic door with a hinge to handle opening a in-floor door that is heavy, one that will take off the load of lifting up the door. How soon can I get a door to SC?
I am looking to install a hydrolic system one piece door for a short 5' staircase. Its to swing up in order to access a storage space behind it. I am not sure of weight as of yet, as I will be ordering the staircase based on the Schweiss hydrolic Red Power system abilities. Please let me know what a simple hydrlic system for about 100-150 lbs can run me.
I'm looking for two residential Schweiss bifold garage doors, approx. 10'W x 8'H, suitable to have T-111 type wood siding on the outside surface. Can you give me some pricing and installer references?
I am designing an addition to the house to shelter an Endless-Pool--and want the side wall to open entirely in summer, but closed in winter. Your bifold appeals, but this will be in a side wall and the eave drops down to a level only about 5 inches above bottom of header, so doubt there is space for the "wedge". Thus, it looks like the hydraulic door will be a better solution. Door will be sheathed with same wood-product siding as house, but I will want an openable window in it as well (for light and ventilation when door closed). The opening is only 12' wide, 60 inches high. Can you give me a rough ideas of cost (not a "quote" I'll hold you to).
To whom it may concern, I would like to have a quote for 2 door options, both bi-fold and hydraulic / one piece. The door is for a residential garage, and we intend to clad it with cedar siding. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Hi, I have a 8' x 4' trap door that goes to my basement and as I'm getting older it is becoming difficult to lift it. I was wondering if you have a hydraulic door that would lift up out of the floor. Thanks.
Can we retro fit a Schweiss hydraulic system to utilize your new Red Power pump?
Do you make hydraulic and bi-fold garage doors for residential houses? What kind of price am I looking at on a single garage door? How hard is it for a homeowner to install?
I am looking for a hydraulic door that can be used as a security door at night and an awning during the day. The current building is a wood framed garage with a 12 foot wide sliding glass door on the end wall. Panel siding (wood) covers the building(no stucco to contend with), 220 volts is available in the building. Panel siding would be used on the hydraulic door to match.
We are looking to use a hydraulic door for a residential apllication and needs to be miami-dade county approved. We need information asap. Thanks.
I would like to investigate having 2 residential bi-folds systems to put on my house so I can have car lift. (2) 8x8 doors. (Standard)Whats involved?
We have a house design that calls for 4 hydraulic sunscreens/doors. The heights are fixed at 9'-1 1/8" with varying widths, the greatest being 25'-8". We are going to detail the door so that the frame is concealed. All are exterior applications.
I'm considering replacing a 16'w x 7'H residential garage door with either bifold or hydraulic door. Also want to know if I can build the door panels myself of FoamKore or similar plywood/foam laminated panels (and would need to know specs such as acceptable weight/sq.ft.). Can you please give me a ballpark idea about pricing.
We are interested in a hydraulic door/wall for our veranda. We could use either a 16' opening wall without man door or a 25' opening wall with man door built in to the wall.
I need 8 of 8'x8' single piece garage doors. Please provide me the details about the function of the doors and their price. They will be residential use and mostly have wood construction underneath. thanks.
Residential door connecting interior space to outdoor deck. Divided insulated glass panels are ideal, similar to those shown on the Palm beach resort or the Guthrie center or one of the residences with all glass bifold doors.
would like to know high, low price range for a 16 ft. wide X 14ft high hydraulic one piece door for RV garage on a new 15,000 sq. ft. home to be built in Punta Gorda, Florida. The Schweiss door I'm getting will have some type of Stucco/Dryvit applied to the exterior header and upper 6ft of the by-fold or hydrolic door and a false garage door applied to the lower portion of the door (8x14 garage door) to match the other 3 automobile garage doors on the front of the house. The house is in the final design process and the door will have to be meet wind load testing for Miami/Dade. The home is in the 130 mph. exposure "C" Zone. Please contact me ASAP please. Thank You. Phone or Email is fine.
This is a residential application with glass panels, similar to the "San Francisco Architects" or "New York Storefront" application in your photo gallery. Please quote a swing door that is 20' x 8'.
Hi, We're planning on building a LEED certified home this winter, and are interested in using one of your doors in place of french doors. We would want one with all glass panels. I read that you've installed bi-fold doors in LEED certified homes before. Can you send me any infomation on that? And/or on how well insulated they are? Lastly, what is the U-factor rating?
I am building a garage with an 18' x 7' opening. I would like a quote on a hydraulic door. It is for a residential application and I would like something that somewhat resembles the standard garage door already on the house.
Custom Designer Garage Doors with wood siding has it's own unique pattern & glass windows located in the top portion of garage door to give the home owner natural lighting. interested in 3- 10 x 10 insulated wooden hydraulic doors (no sheet rock) and an estimate.
I have a typical 2 car garage with overhead doors and openers. I would like to gain the space taken up by the overhead tracks and doors. I've considered horizontal sliding barn-like doors. When I contacted one residential door company, their suggestion was roll up doors similar to those used commercially. Would your bifold or hydraulic doors provide a gain in interior space, while providing the convenience of remote door openers? How does the price compare to regular overhead residential doors?
Hi, We're interested in using one of your hydraulic doors for a residential project that is under construction now. The opening is 8'x8'. Do you have any CAD drawings of the head, jamb, and sill details? If so, will you please send it to my email: Thank you very much.
Do you guys do residential? We have two 8x7 (approx) garage doors that we don't want to have open to the inside. Is the hydraulic an option? Need good insulation for Boston area as well. Thanks in advance.
Do you have a hydraulic garage door that would work for a residential garage? It would not need to be opened electronically, as we are using the front of our garage for storage and are building a wall about 3 feet inside the garage door. We don't want a standard door because it would interfere with the wall when it opens up. Please provide a quote for a basic residential hydraulic door that would be 8 by 10 feet.

Trump campaign tells Mississippi marijuana advocates to 'cease-and-desist' after Initiative 65 mailer

President Trump's re-election campaign has sent a cease-and-desist letter to a group pushing to legalize medical marijuana in Mississippi, saying its mailers falsely claim Trump supports a ballot initiative in the Magnolia State.
"The President's campaign has learned that your organization, Mississippians for Compassionate Care, has been circulating misleading communications using the President's name, image, or likeness in support of Mississippi Initiative Measure No. 65 and your group's efforts to legalize medical marijuana in your state," Trump campaign Director Michael J. Glassner wrote to Jamie Grantham, spokeswoman for Mississippians for Compassionate Care. "President Trump has never expressed support for Initiative 65, and his campaign demands that you immediately cease and desist all activities using the President's name, image or likeness …"
One major issue being debated in Mississippi is putting medical marijuana in the state Constitution, and the wording of the initiative that would not allow the state Legislature to set regulations or tax its sale.
The campaign said it learned that mailers supporting the medical marijuana Initiative 65 had envelopes that "deceptively — and in bold, capital letters —urge voters to 'JOIN PRESIDENT TRUMP' in supporting legalization of medical marijuana in Mississippi …"
READ MORE: Mississippi medical marijuana rhetoric intensifies as November vote nears.
But Grantham responded, "President Trump has clearly stated on multiple occasions that he supports medical marijuana. That is all that we've shared — the truth." She provided links to videos and reports of Trump stating he supports medical marijuana and letting states decide the issue.
"We've never said he supports Initiative 65 and that would be absurd to do so as I think he is pretty tied up with his own presidential election," Grantham said.
The Trump campaign said using the president's name is "unfair to Mississippi voters who may be led to vote Yes … on the false belief that President Trump supports the measure."
"Therefore, let us be clear about this:" Glassner wrote, in bold. "President Trump has never stated his support for passage of Initiative 65 or the legalization of medical marijuana in Mississippi."
In a press release sent out by Mississippi Horizon, a group that opposes Initiative 65, Jim Perry, a member of the State Health Board, which also opposes the initiative, claimed "there is a pattern of deceptive statements from the pro-65 campaign." He claimed the Initiative 65 campaign is "taking the playbook from Big Tobacco."
Grantham said: "Politicians and bureaucrats who are behind Mississippi Horizon are spreading propaganda every chance they get and they are against people in Mississippi having access to this plant that God made that is safe and effective at treating pain, nausea, tremors, seizures and other debilitating conditions."
Mississippi voters on Nov. 3 will decide whether to change the state's constitution to legalize medical marijuana. Voters will have three choices:
Approve Initiative 65, for which more than 228,000 Mississippians signed a petition, which opponents say is too permissive and written to help the marijuana industry, not patients.
Approve Initiative 65A, put forth by the Legislature, which would allow lawmakers to regulate a medical marijuana program, but which opponents say is a rope-a-dope by lawmakers to thwart medical marijuana usage and dilute the vote for Initiative 65.
Vote against both. But voters who do this can still vote for one of the two initiatives, should one pass.

Opposition Congress today served a no-confidence notice in Odisha Assembly against the Naveen Patnaik ministry accusing it of failing on all fronts.
"We have served a notice for no trust motion as people of the state and the assembly have no confidence in the state government run by the BJD," Congress Chief Whip Prasad Harichandan told reporters on the opening day of the Assembly session.
Stating that the opposition party was hopeful that Speaker Pradip Kumar Amat would take up the matter on Wednesday after the question hour, Harichandan said Congress wanted a debate over several failures of the state government.
Government Chief Whip Pravat Kumar Tripathy said, "The notice will be taken up if it is made as per provision of the Rules of the Business of the House. We do not understand what the opposition wanted to prove. They even do not have adequate numbers."

Across The Divide Available Now
"Soul soothing stimulating jazz…'Back in Time' again features Chris Botti's tantalizing trumpet lines… the tune is totally engaging and the recording is flawless!"
-Dick Metcalf, Contemporary Fusion
"Val Gardena's Across The Divide is just what the doctor ordered for these crazy times in which we are living….This is a very satisfying recording from beginning to end"
-Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck, Muzikman.net
CLICK TO LISTEN ON YOUR FAVORITE PLATFORM
From The Artist's Perspective
"Across the Divide" is a musical journey that seeks to soothe the soul and stimulate the mind. Music brings us all together and is the great common denominator that connects us all to our memories and feelings…"
"When I formed Val Gardena with Jeff Leonard in 1993, we described our musical mission statement as "creating music with melody, pop structure, ambient textures and jazz sensibilities, but no solos". Across the Divide continues these principles with the exception of "Two of One"and "Back in Time" which feature trumpet superstar, Chris Botti. It was a true joy working again with Chris after 20 years when he was a guest on the Val Gardena album, Migration. He is joined here by a stellar line-up who collectively lift these two compositions to unimaginable heights."
From the upcoming album, Across The Divide
"Two of One" features Chris Botti on Trumpet with the fantastic rhythm section of Nate Smith on Drums, John Patitucci on Bass and Taylor Eigsti on Piano. It was recorded at Power Station in July 2018.
Produced and Arranged with Andy Snitzer, it follows a similar musical approach as the previously released "Back in Time". The goal was to take an ambient musical outline and super impose a retro jazz feel. Chris and Taylor's solo performances are stunning.
20 years ago, Chris Botti made a guest appearance on the Val Gardena album, Migration. Since that time, he has gone on to be become a worldwide superstar in the Jazz world.
I am honored that he would join Val Gardena for another guest appearance, playing alongside a fabulous rhythm section featuring Grammy-nominated John Patitucci on Bass, Gene Lake on Drums, and Taylor Eigsti on Piano.
"Back in Time" is a retro-feeling tune that combines ambient simplicity, a catchy theme, and soulful playing.
Produced by Andy Snitzer
Written by: J.S. Bach
Arranged by: Christopher James and Robert Stark
Produced by: Robert Stark and Christopher James
Mixed and Mastered by: Robert Stark
This C major Bach Prelude is the first, and perhaps, most well known of the 48 preludes from the Well Tempered Clavier. It is played, as written, performed on the piano with additional atmospheric layers which allow the listener to rediscover its sensuous beauty and heavenly emotion.
Check out the video from Christopher James featuring "Mother Russia" from his album, Grace From Persistence.
"This album is my third as a solo artist. Musically, I wanted to explore more of the complex compositional style that emerged on The Sad Waltz. My intention as always, to find a connection to people's hearts and minds; to paint a musical picture with color and emotion, and for better or worse, to unveil a discovery that is not a straight line from point A to point B. The Grace from Persistence title comes from an idea that my collaborator, Bob Stark, suggested for one of the pieces written early on in the creative process. I did not really think much about it at the time, but while I was in the Southwest US this past winter, I saw a film that described the Native Americans' belief about the Saguaro cactus. Each of these sacred Saguaros is considered to be a unique individual, surviving on its own despite nature's extremes. The Saguaro cactus' state of grace is achieved through indefatigable determination to defy all odds – through persistence, if you will – and the existence of this physical and spiritual icon serves as a metaphor for our world. The deluge of assaults on humanity and nature is unending, but our resoluteness to survive as a human race must not be diminished or compromised.
Watch "Grace From Persistence"
"…the intricate weave of emotions conveyed by this exciting video will connect (in the immediate) to your heart and soul."
"If you're looking for music that departs from the norm, yet remains consistently full of life, this is MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"
Hear Grace From Persistence
Christopher James, American composer, pianist and producer, released latest work. The Sad Waltz on July 14, 2017.
The Sad Waltz, a follow-up to the autobiographical album House by the Railroad, is a collection of 13 original, colorful and diverse compositions written programmatically for an imagined visual environment. Featuring a number of world class musicians, Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel), Tim Lefebvre ( David Bowie), Gerry Leonard (David Bowie) and Andy Snitzer (Paul Simon), Christopher James draws on lifelong musical memories, influences and inspirations to weave this journey. The opening track, "Consequence of Intent" is an impressionistic juxtaposition for piano and ambient electronica, accentuated by the haunting guitars of David Torn. "The Steppes of Mora" is classically influenced with a tip of the hat to the great John Barry. "I Can See it Now" looks back at James' relationship with his late father with lyrics written by Nashville songwriter, Craig Carothers. "Ostinato" and "Claude's Clouds" further demonstrate James' interest in contemporary classical composition. Grammy tm award winner, Gil Goldstein, wrote the elegant arrangement for cello and accordion to compliment the piano on the title track, "The Sad Waltz". The powerfully moving last track, "Guardian Angel" was written as a tribute to Elton John. "His music gave me a context for life and provided a beacon of light that continues to be my north star".
Christopher James is an accomplished classical pianist, composer and solo recording artist. His duo group, Val Gardena, released 3 well received albums in the 1990's for Mercury Records. One of those albums, On the Bridge, featured the top ten single, "Northern Lights". As a successful music executive and ex-CEO of Universal Classics and Jazz he worked with, and signed some of the world's greatest artists, including Luciano Pavarotti, Renée Fleming, Andrea Bocelli, Chris Botti, Wayne Shorter, Elvis Costello and Sting. Over the past 5 years, James has re-dedicated himself to his true passion of composing and recording new music.
James produced The Sad Waltz with his long time collaborators Bob Stark and Grammy award winning engineer, Kevin Killen.
"This is far more than 'just another New Age album,'… the piano work is beyond excellent, and he uses a broad range of instruments to give you a full-bodied musical adventure that you'll be listening to over & over again!"
-Dick Metcalf, Contemporary Fusion Reviews
"…James' composing bravura and fearlessness make this one of the most fascinating (as well as highly enjoyable albums) I have reviewed in the last few years…"
-Bill Binkelman, RetailingInsight.com
"The Sad Waltz is about as out of the box as you can get – and I mean that in a very, very good way! …I give it my highest recommendation!"
-Kathy Parsons, MainlyPiano.com
"This is pure creativity and energy coming together to form a super nova of sounds. The Sad Waltz just made it into my top 10 instrumental albums for 2017."

I have recently been promoted to Interim GC at my company. Should I ask for more money?
How to ask for more money when you're asked to take on more at work.
What is the best way to reject a job offer and still preserve a good relationship with the hiring manager?
The GC of my company left and my colleague was promoted instead of me to take over the department. I still like my job, but is it the right career move to leave? What should I do?


Every year we read Shakespeare. Every year, it's a dreaded activity. I don't think I've ever read an actual Shakespearean play cover to cover. There's not enough time and I don't have enough motivation. I generally opt for Sparknote's No Fear Shakespeare which is honestly a lifesaver 100% of the time. However, recently I've begun to feel a little guilty about my little cheat sheet. When I take the time to analyze a passage from Shakespeare, I realize it's completely doable. Simultaneously, I begin to understand why Shakespeare is such a hyped-up playwright. There's depth, there's rhythm, and the plays continue to have applicable themes to modern society. I may not enjoy reading Shakespeare the majority of the time, but I've learned to appreciate his writing.
2017 is just about a week away and I'm more excited for this upcoming year than I have been for any past years. First of all, I'm ready to create a new, 2017 category for TJJJ which means that we have reached out anniversary. I'm celebrating in spirit. Beyond that, there's also the fact that I'm graduating this year. It's a little bittersweet. I've had some wonderful experiences and memories and some not so great times, but I'm satisfied with my high school journey. And I am so so excited for what college has in store for me. To reflect upon 2016, I'm sad to say that it's been one of the worst years of my life. Without going into depth, I'm just hoping and willing 2017 to go much better. As I am half a year away from graduating, I feel sentimental, but ecstatic for my next adventures.
According to my calendar to-do lists, I am still in October. Yes, I am 2 months (nearly 3) behind schedule. Everyday I slack a little more, and I fall a little more behind. As the school year is nearly half way complete, I'm constantly finding new things to add to my agenda. In an attempt to be organized, I often find myself writing to-do lists more than I'm actually doing them. If I could do one thing, this winter break, it would be to finish all the things on my Winter Break To-Do list.
There is 5 school days, and 6 regular days until winter break. I am eagerly awaiting its arrival while jittering in my seat because I have to quite a lot to accomplish by the end of this week. A common double-edged sword. I'm both eagerly awaiting its arrival and dreading the upcoming days up to it. And when it finally does arrive, I'm sure it's going to pass by in a blink of an eye.
College season is unfortunately still looming and the forecast calls for rejections and disappointments. Sadly, I'm still in the midst of applying because I'm a last-minute renowned procrastinator. I've had a 2 week hiatus from my previous application and I'm definitely feeling more rejuvenated.
My heart tingles when I think about college applications. As I click on the box that says that my status has been updated, I feel small nerves, tiny tingles, but not the world-racking feeling I thought I would feel. For some reason, I have greater anxiety finding out my test scores than I do about finding out about my life for the next 4 years. It's December. My last notification is in April. The time to make a decision is in May. Oh why is the collegiate fairy so cruel to us aspiring, doe-eyed teenagers.
I've been taking French class since I was in 7th grade. I've dedicated many years, stressful nights, and difficult days to this language. While it was a struggle to try to do the homework, it was an even greater struggle not being able to communicate effectively with my teacher. That class made me feel incredibly incompetent and frustrated. I think language is the most difficult subject to learn because you simply can't understand what the teacher is saying. It's especially difficult when teachers insist on an English-free classroom. How exactly are students supposed to learn a language when they have no words to match against it? Anyways, through my initial struggles with the French language, I decided that I needed to put it extra effort and greater dedication to the class than any other. As a result, I spent a lot of time with online French translators and dictionaries and I'm always looking to find more affordable Rosetta Stone-esque options. There are many apps out there that help people learn new languages. But since I've been advancing a lot more in recent years, I'm able to pinpoint where my weaknesses are. Don't get me wrong, I'm not strong in any aspect of the language. But there are certain ones that are extra difficult for me to get down. I think the most challenging thing currently is understanding spoken French. For me, I can understand my teacher about 85% of the time which is pretty good in my book. But when I listen to podcasts and radio stations, I'm completely lost. I just feel like they talk too fast and too slang for me to really understand what's being said. So now, I'm practicing with podcasts. Listening like everything else improves with practice. Currently, I'm listening to the Coffee break podcast and I'm really enjoying it.
I'm an adult! Not by law, but I'm practically there. These stresses I'm feeling, they are not adolescent stresses, they're grown-up, big man problems. However, I have to say: playing the part of adult without the label relieves me of a lot of pressure. To be honest, I'm not ready for the title. I don't particularly care for it because the more adult I become, the closer I am to not being a teen anymore and the closer I am to being thirty. Yikes.
Driving is a wonderful feeling. When it's warm outside and the window's down and the smell of fresh cut grass invades your senses: that's the best time of the year in my opinion. A lot of people say that once you drive for a certain time, you'll get sick of it. I hope that never happens because driving has become a therapeutic release for me, similar to hot showers. Unfortunately, I don't have many opportunities nor funds to explore new roads and routes. I basically drive the same road every day but I still look forward to it. After all, it's not so much about the destination as it is about the journey. And my journey is rocking. I think in the car is one of the only times I get a chance to just listen to music and jam out. And let me just say: nothing makes you feel more like an adult than being on the road on your own where you are responsible for your actions no matter your age. A little scary but also satisfying.
I like to think that I can conquer any subject, topic, or course that high school can throw at me. Though it's been difficult, I've managed to maintain a respectable grade in most of my classes, science being one of them. But what I've come to realize is that I have been jamming information into my brain, and crash memorizing information without actually retaining or "learning." I had to come to this realization the hard way, and by myself. After taking an end-of-the-year exam, it was clear that I had only memorized information in depth when I needed it. By the time I'm supposed to regurgitate a year-long worth of topics, I find myself stuck and incapable. Take this as a lesson from me: don't try to do last-minute crunching because it only leads to self-deception of what you've really retained in the long-term.
The first quarter of senior year has passed. This has been a really tough year for most of our class. With personal struggles, college applications, and vigorous classes, it's no wonder that senioritis is such a prominent and common term. Now that we are approaching December, I'm happy to say that a large burden has been lifted off my chest. The majority of my apps have been submitted save for one. Now, we play the waiting game. The dreaded yet anticipated college acceptance notification is just a little ways away. It's time for the home stretch and I'm eager to not let senioritis get the best of me by staying optimistic, energetic, and prepped.
We are approximately three weeks away from winter break. I am itching for it. I want snow and 2 hour delays and closings. I want to sleep for hours on end and then wake up and stay in my warm, comforting blankets. The 4-day Thanksgiving break gave me a taste of freedom and now I'm addicted. Without a doubt, these last three weeks will be torture: filled with tests, quizzes, and busy work.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. I love things that can fulfill their purpose, and even more when you think outside of the box. Why? because quite frankly, I am always thinking outside of the box. So boring staying inside the lines sometimes, you have to break that mentality and say "Well, why didn't I think of that?" a few times, and see why its good to think that way.
Thanks to the fine folks over at Trinity International, I was able to get my hands on a Dual Sided Mobile Bin Rack, that was given to me for the purpose of this review. So how does it affect my opinion, it's going to be a resounding I love this thing regardless if I got to review it, or if I had to buy it. In fact, I might do just that, buy another one for the same purpose as I intended this one for. So where can you get one? grab one here at Amazon, and get free Super Saver Shipping as well!
Okay, so wait, yes, there it is? You are thinking, what in the heck do you want me to do with one of these? and the answer is! Anything you want. So why do I say that? When I first saw this, i knew exactly in my mind what I was going to do with it. For me it was as easy as 1-2-3, I am going to use it in the Business Room that I use for eBay, my online store (coming soon), and for crafts and hobbies. So what are some examples of things I plan to use it for?, I am glad you asked! How nice of you! Let's review them below.
To store items I am going to sell on eBay, or in the future my online store (coming soon!). Things like Die Cast Ambulances, Matchbox, or Hot Wheels fit great in the larger bins.
I can store baseball/football or comic cards in the smaller bins, things I am either selling, or organizing. Will make quick work of organizing collectible cards.
In the smaller bins I can also store some of my craft/hobby supplies like Rubber Stamps, Stamp Pads, Bookmarks, Small Charms, Markers, Pencils, Paint Brushes, ideas are endless.
Yes, Yes, you can use this in the garage or work station, to store nuts, bolts, tools, tape, replacement fuses, bulbs, whatever a working garage would need, but since I don't need that, I used it for what I described above. Now how cool is that? you can say it, it's okay, "Tom, that's pretty cool!". Don't you feel better now?
So what are a few of the selling points?
Very easy to move, the casters move well, even on carpet!
Bins come off easy, and go on easy as well.
You can store items on top of the shelf as well. Do be careful with this, the lighter the better, you don't want to warp your wonderful bin rack now do you?
I love that it is double sided.
Total of 94 bins, 60 orange, and 34 gray.
2 of the 4 casters lock, so things are not moving around.
I wish the smaller bins were just a little wider, but again, nothing that will keep me from using it.
That I had another one!
Here are a few pictures of what I was describing above for what I want to use it for.
So I would love to hear what you would use it for? Leave your comments and thoughts below!

Prepaid reservation take higher priority in better table seating (not best table or table or choice). You will be redirected to PayPal. You can also use your credit or debit card.
As soon as you arrive at the restaurant we will find the best table possible from the ones available.


Volume checksums are a new feature in Laserfiche 8.3 that allows you to verify that the contents of your volumes have not been altered outside of Laserfiche. You can use volume checksums to help identify data loss or corruption as well as tampering.
When you enable checksums on a volume, the Laserfiche Server uses an algorithm to create a checksum: a string of information that can be used to compare and detect changes in the volume files. When volume contents (such as images, text pages or electronic files) are modified within Laserfiche, the checksums are updated so that volume contents and checksums continue to match. However, if the volume contents are modified outside Laserfiche—whether accidentally, as with file corruption, or deliberately through tampering—the checksum will no longer match those contents.
When a user opens a document in which the contents differ from the contents the Server expects, they will be presented with a warning. In addition, administrators can verify the contents of an entire volume at once to check for mismatches or other issues. The final checksum report will list any files for which problems have been detected.


Ask 100 persons what retirement is, and you will probably get 100 different answers. However, each answer would probably have a similar theme. Each answer would most likely include the theme of "stopping or slowing down dramatically what I have been doing and replacing it with some other activity." Many times, the "other activity" does not generate much of an income. That means that you must prepare for it.
Prepare?!!??! You want me to prepare??!! I can't even force myself to pack one day before I leave on vacation, and you want me to think about something that is going to happen years from now?
Why?! Because I want you to be able to do that "some other activity" some day!!! If you do not prepare financially, your plans may never happen or will experience severe delays. I really want you to be able to do what you want to!
There are many ways to prepare for retirement including: investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, rental properties, owning a business, owning real estate, owning intellectual property, writing a great song and selling licensing rights, patents, antiques, precious metals, and 1000s of other ways. The key is to diversify your retirement holdings so that your risk is mitigated. Don't hold all of your money in bonds, stocks, and mutual funds that are focused only on one segment of the market (like all in high-tech). Spread out your investments into many types of healthy markets.
The key is to START NOW!!! If you are 20 and you haven't started, walk over to an investment advisor today. If you are 30 and you haven't started, RUN over to the advisor. If you are 40 and you haven't started, SPRINT over. If you are over 50, for Pete's sake, TAKE A RACE CAR to the advisor's office!!!

Liz La Mura Charts An Exciting New Path As GH's Intimacy Coordinator
She acted on Santa Barbara and was married to Mark La Mura — giving her a great foundation for this exciting new role.
By Diane Brounstein 4 weeks ago
Films aren't the only entertainment medium that has heeded the alarms heard during the #MeToo movement. Soaps have too, having created an entirely new position on the set called Intimacy Coordinator. General Hospital has one in Liz La Mura, who — for many reasons — is the perfect person for this important job. She spoke with Soap Hub about it.
Liz La Mura — The Actor's Advocate
If her Iast name sounds familiar, that's because she is the widow of former Daytime Emmy-nominated actor Mark La Mura, who played Mark Dalton — Erica Kane's (Susan Lucci) half brother — on All My Children from 1976-1989 and then, he made sporadic appearances in 1995, 2004, and 2005. He passed away in 2017. But that's not her only connection with soaps.
"I am an actor, a professional dancer/actress," she began. In fact, she played Greta MacAdams on NBC's Santa Barbara from 1989-1990 — enjoying a brief romance with former priest Michael, played by Meg Ryan's other super-couple half from As the World Turns, Frank Runyeon.
"I got my MFA while I was pregnant," she said, explaining how both she and Mark got their MFAs because they wanted to be able to teach as returning professionals, having graduated from Kent State University. "I was an adjunct professor at Marymount Manhatten College, teaching movement for actors and doing a lot of coaching — contemporary work, Shakespeare, and I loved it." It was a great foundation for what would eventually happen years later.
Flash forward, and now their daughter was going to the University of Southern California. "The plan was that we were going to move back out here [in Los Angeles]; we've lived here before. I started looking for work in the academic world, and it was really tough to get into. A friend of mine — a colleague — said there's this new profession called Intimacy Director, and that's for theater. So I started Googling and found that this other position — Intimacy Coordinator — is for film and TV. So I trained with someone, it's a six-month training, and got certified. I am on the SAG/AFTRA registry as only one of 40 in the world. That's how new the position is.
Now, there are other people saying they're intimacy coordinators, but they're just not associated with SAG/AFTRA yet because one has to have amassed a certain amount of days working on set to get onto this registry.
Asked about the reaction of actors on set, she enthused, "Oh my gosh, actors are ecstatic." She then walked through the process of how it all works. "So what happens is, I will get a script, and then I'll do a breakdown of the scenes that I think are intimate — that can include simulated sex, nudity, or any kind of intimacy. Sometimes it's an emotional intimacy. It doesn't necessarily mean touching or sexuality happening. Sometimes it's something else. Really, I'm an advocate for the actor.
"So I will do a breakdown, and then I will talk with the director, sometimes the showrunner, the writer, and find out what the vision is," she continued. "Oftentimes in a script, it will say 'and they have sex.' So you say, okay, 'What does that look like for you?' Sometimes the director is very clear about the action, and sometimes they're not, and so by my asking certain questions, [it] really helps them to design maybe a shot, which they can talk to their DP [Director of Photography], whoever, and then once I do get a kind of clear vision of what's happening, I will speak with the actors. 'Are there any boundaries, any body parts you don't want touched or shown?' It's individual.
"I really want to have the actors be comfortable with what's happening on set, so if there's any kind of red flag, I will go back to the director and say, 'Hey, Actor A is great with everything except x, y, and z.' So that gives the director time to think about, 'oh okay, can we do a different camera angle? Can we use some more sheets?' So what happens when we have these conversations before we get on set, then, the shoot day will go a lot smoother because there are no surprises. Basically, we want everyone to leave feeling great about their work. So the actors love that because not only are they sometimes physically vulnerable, but they're emotionally and mentally vulnerable — there's crew watching all of this, so it's very [difficult]."
Liz La Mura knows this intimately, having been an actress herself and marveled at the decades actors had to worry about speaking up, afraid they would be replaced if they voiced any concerns. That is why this position is so important. "There is a power dynamic, obviously, and you feel it when you're on set," she says. "You don't want to be known as the 'difficult one' when it could just be such a simple solution. In my experience, the actors absolutely love what I do and always thank me and say, 'If you weren't there, I don't know if I would have been able to have done this scene.' So it's been great for me."
Her appearance on set did take some of the older General Hospital actors by surprise — a pleasant one at that. "Most of them have said, 'Boy, I could have used you 10 years ago, 20 years ago. I wish this position had been around at that time.' That was the reaction I get, that they're glad I'm there, especially for the up-and-coming talent. I love working with up-and-coming talent on both sides of the camera because it shows how important this position is and how it's integrated and how in the long run, it makes the whole day much smoother."
When asked if soaps have gotten more or less racy over the years, La Mura says, "I think they're pushing the envelope as far as they can because that's what we're seeing now. Again, sometimes intimate scenes don't have to be so blatant, they can be really subtle and beautiful, tender, and I think that's what's really important as well for character development and for storyline." During her time on the GH set, she's worked with many actors, but there's one she worked with elsewhere as well.
"Kelly [Thiebaud], who plays Britt [Westbourne], I didn't work with her on General Hospital, but I work with her on Station 19 [where she recurs as Eva Vasquez], which is always fun when you work with the same actor on a different show. She is lovely. We had so much fun. I will tell you that during one of the scenes in Station 19, where there's rumbling around on the bed, well what happened was, [she and her scene partner] turned — and she went flying off the bed! At the monitor, we were all like, 'Oh my God,' but she was like, 'I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine,' and it was so funny, we all said we hope they keep this take because it was perfect for the character, nobody got hurt, and we were all laughing. It's always fun to see those magical moments."
Remembering Mark La Mura's AMC Legacy
La Mura also recalled losing her husband to lung cancer. "It was really devastating. There was no sign of sickness." That was why it was hard to accept the diagnoses when Mark looked great. "He was sprinting still, running and sprinting. It happened fairly quickly. It was hard. It's still hard," she shared before also adding what being on AMC meant to him. "He just loved the work. Before I knew him, when he had the challenging job of being an addict — that kind of work, he loved that." She spoke of his devotion to truly researching what that life was like (even going to talk to folks in what was known as Needle Park, near the AMC studios), and at one point, it put him in opposition when he was presented with a prop on the set.
"When he was doing the crack cocaine storyline…and one day, props gave him this vial of crack cocaine that was maybe four inches, a glass or plastic vial…and he was like, 'This is wrong' because he went to Needle Park and researched and talked to these guys…researching how one feels when they are high when they're not high, he really did a lot of that. I think they just refused to get a smaller vial, so he went out and purchased some and walked into the producer's office and put it on their desk, and said, 'THAT'S what crack cocaine is!' And that producer was like, 'Get that off my desk now!' He got rid of it, of course, but he wanted to make a point. That was a true story."
Also true is how huge a following AMC stars had, and Liz shares that sometimes it was hard for Mark to go out because of the show's passionate fanbase — he even got tackled by a fan once. But his time there was special, and she shares that his co-star/onscreen wife, Kathleen Noone (ex-Ellen Dalton), shared with her that "I always felt safe with Mark. He always had my back, I always had his back, and whenever we had to do these intimate kinds of scenes, she felt so safe with him."
Fashion Star On The Rise
Liz La Mura said that Mark La Mura was an incredible father and would be so proud of their daughter Gabrielle — who is now a designer positioned to become a huge star. "She taught herself how to sew during the pandemic," explained Liz. "She started making things for her boyfriend and herself and started posting things. All of a sudden, all of these A-List stylists kept contacting her. Kourtney Kardashian is wearing her bags…it's just been amazing. She's been collaborating with other designers. She made a jacket that a stylist asked if she could use, and it ended up at The World Cup on a performer. We got a video where this performer is wearing this jacket, and there's millions of people behind. Instagram can be good and bad, but for her, it's opened up a whole new world. The universe sometimes just gives you what you want. I think Mark's watching over us." Click here to check out Gabrielle La Mura's website, and follow her on Instagram here.

'South Atlantic Requiem' by Edward Wilson
Published by Arcadia Books,
ISBN 978-1-911350-31-6(HB)
Edward Wilson has moved to 1982 for his latest spy thriller. The machinations of politicians and diplomats are laid out as they attempt to prevent war in the South Atlantic. Robert Catesby is Wilson's protagonist - a senior British spy whose remit includes South America. Budget cuts mean that he has only one agent in Argentina. Fiona Stewart is a Cambridge student who is in love with a dashing Argentinian polo player who is also a military pilot flying aircraft armed with Exocet missiles for the Military Junta. She helps to build a picture of Argentina in 1982.
Catesby moves from the thankless task of persuading the leaders of the British government that an Argentinian attack on the Falkland Islands is likely to the equally frustrating task of making a settlement to avoid war and loss of life. Catesby moves around Europe, the USA and South America at speed meeting some fascinating, often monstrous characters.
The details of undercover work and the complexity of diplomatic negotiations are fascinating and convincing to read. The inevitability of events that many readers will remember add authenticity and pathos to the story. The author does remind his readers in the acknowledgements that this is a work of fiction and does not portray real people
Reviewer: Jennifer S. Palmer
This book is the latest in a series of clever spy stories by Edward Wilson.
Edward Wilson was born in Baltimore, Maryland. His father, a merchant sailor, died when Edward was just six months old, leaving Edward's mother to raise him and his two brothers. He did his secondary education at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute (A previous student at Poly was Dashiell Hammet, the inventor of the hard boiled detective novel), before going on to the University of Virginia on a Reserve Officers' Training Corps scholarship. A few weeks after graduating from university, Edward was commissioned as a second lieutenant of infantry. He did the basic course at Fort Benning followed by parachute training, he then applied for Special Forces and completed the SF officers' course at Fort Bragg. He was shipped off to the Vietnam War in the aftermath of the 1968 Tet Offensive as a member of a Special Forces unit. After leaving the army, Edward travelled widely in Canada and Europe. He returned briefly to the United States to earn an MA in English Literature at the University of Massachusetts. He again left the States and became a permanent expatriate, emigrating to the United Kingdom after serving in the Vietnam War. He renounced his US citizenship to naturalise in his new country. Edward has lived in Britain since 1974. He renounced his US citizenship in 1983 and became a British citizen. Edward was a further education lecturer for 22 years. During this time he was an active trade unionist. He was also a member of the Anti-Nazi League and the Lowestoft Trades Council. Edward left full time teaching to devote more time to writing in 1997. Edward has lived in Suffolk since 1976. The county features in all his fiction. He now lives in a remote village. His pastimes include sailing, canoeing, wild swimming, running, tennis and growing vegetables.

Jennifer Palmer Throughout my reading life crime fiction has been a constant interest; I really enjoyed my 15 years as an expatriate in the Far East, the Netherlands & the USA but occasionally the solace of closing my door to the outside world and sitting reading was highly therapeutic. I now lecture to adults on historical topics including Famous Historical Mysteries.

Invest a lump sum in a Friendly Society Investment Bond that aims to offer long-term growth over 5 years or more.
How will the Investment Bond grow?
The Investment Bond does not pay interest on the lump sum you have paid in. Instead, the with profits Order Insurance Fund provides your Bond with the potential for growth by way of bonuses.
Any money paid into our Investment Bond is invested in our with profits Order Insurance Fund along with the other Order Insurance Fund Planholders (excluding those with ethical investments). Dependent on the performance of this fund, Foresters Friendly Society aim to add annual bonuses to increase the value of your Bond.
When the time comes and you cash-in your Bond in full, we also aim to add a final bonus to the value of the plan. This is done to ensure that the plan's payout reflects your fair share of the Order Insurance Fund.
In adverse market conditions, a Market Value Reduction (MVR) could be applied when you cash-in your Bond meaning that the amount you receive will be reduced and in some investment conditions you may not get back the full amount originally invested. We will only do this to ensure fairness between planholders leaving the fund at different times.
Please refer to the Important Information document for further information on how our Order Insurance Fund works.
The addition of any bonuses is not guaranteed.
We aim to pay annual bonuses on the value of your investment. Any annual bonuses declared on the plan will then increase the plan's value for future year's bonus declarations. Bonuses are calculated daily which allows for the timing of any investments and withdrawals together with any previously allocated bonuses.
When you cash-in your Investment Bond in full, we also aim to add a final bonus to the total value of your plan.
A £10,000 Investment Bond taken out on 1st November 2008 and surrendered on 1st November 2018 received a pay out of £17,123.95, on the basis of no earlier withdrawals being taken. This is total growth, after charges, of 71.2% or 5.5% per annum.
Past performance should not be seen as a reliable indicator of future results and the addition of annual and final bonuses is not guaranteed.
The final bonus rate is based on the year the money was invested into the plan and can change at any time.
The above graph is provided for information purposes. The potential for future bonuses depends on the performance of the Order Insurance Fund and how we distribute any profit.
The annual bonus rate is applied to the amount invested (minus any withdrawals you may have made to your Bond) plus any previous bonuses that have been added.
The addition of any bonus is not guaranteed and you may not get back the full amount originally invested, dependent on the investment conditions at withdrawal.
To find out more about the addition of bonuses and how we manage our fund please read our Principles and Practices of Financial Management (PPFM).
We may vary the design of a product to best meet the needs of our planholders which may affect the timing and size of future bonuses. Therefore the above table is provided for information purposes only and should not be considered an indication of likely future performance.
You are willing to take a moderate amount of risk.
You understand and accept that inflation could erode the value of your money over time.
You understand that you could lose money on a 'Medium Risk' investment.
You understand that Foresters Friendly Society regard a 'Medium Risk' product to be one which typically cannot predict the amount of money you may receive back.
For more details about the Investment Bond, please read the Investment Bond Key Information Document and Important Information.

Sweden says bookseller held in China denied access to Swedish doctor
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A Swedish book publisher being held by Chinese authorities has not been allowed a promised visit by a Swedish doctor, Stockholm said on Thursday.
Gui Minhai, a Hong Kong-based publisher of books critical of China's leaders was abducted in Thailand in 2015, one of five people in the Hong Kong book trade who went missing that year and later appeared in custody in mainland China.
Gui, 53, was released from custody last October, but his whereabouts were unclear until January when his daughter said he was seized by Chinese agents onboard a Beijing-bound train while in the presence of two Swedish diplomats.
China confirmed last month that it had detained Gui.
Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom said a Swedish doctor who had been sent to Gui had been denied permission to meet him on Wednesday.
"The Chinese actions are unacceptable and break previous promises that our citizen would be allowed to meet a Swedish doctor," Wallstrom said in a statement.
"Our efforts concerning the case are continuing with unrelenting vigour. We continue to demand that Gui Minhai be given the opportunity to meet Swedish diplomatic and medical staff and that he be released so he can reunite with his daughter and family."

My collection juxtaposes themes of 1970s disco; the metallics, hallucinogenic prints and halter necks, with themes of the sea; the idea of fluidity, flow and the water connecting living organisms. I was inspired by the vibrancy the disco era, studio 54 and the untangible essence of euphoria and connected-ness. Nature can bring about these same feelings, so in a sense the two seemingly separate themes seem to harmonise.
Organic, fluid prints and tonal colourways are prominent, with pops of metallic accents throughout. Silhouettes are an amalgamation of voluminous shell shapes with lighter garments being more fitted to the body, creating an ethereal collection with an edge.
