2000 Dollar Budget Wedding: Guest Lists, Parent Involvement, and Sincerity--Oh My!
Guest Lists, Parent Involvement, and Sincerity--Oh My!
Some of my friends and I send out individual monthly e-mail updates recapping the triumphs and trials of our lives for the past month. It's a great way to stay connected with a lot of people in a lot of places. Sure it's mass-communication which always gets a bad rap, but if you put enough voice and raw honesty into the update, I think people are inclined to read it.
My friend, Allison, sent out her first update since our wedding. Because I saw her at the wedding, I technically should've known most of the important stuff in there. But, much to my surprise, there was major news I had not heard, such as the fact that she was training for a marathon.
This revelation reminded me that I didn't have as much quality time as I would have liked with the guests at my wedding. And our 80-person wedding was relatively small! And I got to see people at multiple points throughout the day because many of us stayed at the same place!
The truth is, I did get to spend some quality time with Jason and Allison. We even sat down to play a board game together in the middle of the reception.
I've been to so many weddings where--as a guest--I've spent little to no quality time with the bride or groom (Editor's Note: I'm not being heterosexist by using the phrase "bride or groom;" I've just never been to a gay marriage!). If I'm a bridesmaid, sure. I get to be part of the inner-circle. But other than that, I've felt kind of like an extra in a movie. I say hi to the folks getting married when my turn comes up in the receiving line. I'm sometimes included in the professional photographs when I'm part of the "college group" or "Teach For America group." We exchange small talk if there's a sit-down dinner and the bride and groom make their rounds to every table.
This type of wedding ends up feeling surreal to me. It feels like a charade or a facade or a "meet and greet". I end up feeling like, "Wait a second. This event should be the most sincere and authentic public expression of their love and yet this whole thing feels like a TV show."
There's very little sincerity and authenticity in a TV show. It looks one way on the surface, but there's a lot going on behind the scenes. So much of it is fake or constructed (even supposedly "reality" TV!). My friends have said to me, "We just want our wedding to be over." Or their weddings were so stressful they got seriously sick after it was over and their bodies could finally let down their guards.
I didn't want that for my wedding.
Matt's family and Matt and I decided early on that there should be a separate reception--weeks or months after the wedding--to bring together all the family friends or parents' friends who weren't included on our short guest list. We wanted our guest list to only include our nearest and dearest. In the end, I was much more relaxed saying my vows in front of 80 of my closest friends and family than I would have been in front of 250 quasi-friends and quasi-strangers.
"Your wedding day is really your parents' day as much as it's your day... in fact, they've probably dreamed and hoped for a loving marriage for you since they first held you in their arms. Your parents may well have personal friends, or even close family that you don't know well if at all (our parents do!). It's important for your parents to feel really included in this celebration - to feel like they share it with you, not that it's just yours."
I wholeheartedly agree that weddings are about family (your family of origin and/or your family of choice). And of course I want those two families to feel "included in this celebration." But I don't see how that premise leads to the conclusion that parents should be able to invite their closest friends--friends you don't even know.
My family did share the wedding with their friends--through photographs and videos after the wedding--not by actually inviting them to the wedding.
Chances are, there are already going to be people you don't know at your wedding. There will be some relatives on the other side or some guests of guests on your side. I already felt stretched thin trying to meet all the new friends and reconnect and cherish the old friends (and we only had 80 people there!).
In fact, if my parents (or Matt's parents) had invited any of their friends that we didn't know, we would have had less time to spend with our actual families. That would have defeated the whole point!
As it was, we got to spend a lot of time during the reception dancing with them, talking with them, hugging them, and hiking/horseback riding with them in the days before the wedding. For us, that was the best way to include our family in the wedding.
Although our families didn't agree with all our decisions along the way, they were immensely happy in the end. The event was the fullest expression of Matt and me. It was chock full of our tastes, preferences, and personalities. Because our families love us, they loved the wedding because it truly represented us.
Is your backbone for rent? Because it would come in SERIOUSLY handy for my wedding! Thanks for giving me some good, solid talking points to go to my future mother-in-law (and her 27 cousins eek!) with. Your blog has been a joy to read!
Make everyone feel involved, interested, entertained and loved.
Thank you for posting this! We are planning a wedding with around 80 guests (plus about 10 kids) and more than half of them are our friends, not our relatives. These are the people who we choose to see on a regular basis; these are the faces we want to see as we stand at the altar (or more accurately, under the trees).
I have read your whole archives and it (combined with the lack of anything really similar on the net) has inspired me to start my own frugal wedding blog. Thank you so much!
Sara, this blog is so great! Thanks for continuing to post despite the fact that your wedding has passed. You have many really important insights for the rest of us.
The issues you bring up here are tricky. Frankly, my man and I are footing the bill for our wedding mainly because we don't want to feel encumbered by our parents' desires. Of course we will take their thoughts into consideration, and invite as many of their guests as we can, but at the end of the day - as you said - the day should reflect the bride and groom, and first and foremost, they are the ones who should be surrounded by the people they love most.
My FI and I have gone around and around on this topic, I think it's one of the hardest ones of the whole process. In the end we both wanted a big fun party atmosphere with lots of guests so that made it a bit easier. We also picked a venue that's not huge (capacity 250 people) and that helped us say no to too many guests. I'm still hoping we come in under 200. We'll see.
We wanted our parents to have friends there, but we made a rule that at least one of us had to know and like them, we don't want strangers at our wedding (my mother was very offended by this, but she who does not contribute does not get to make rules). I do think it's partly their day too, to enjoy their children's love with people who are important to them. We had to put our foot down when FI's mom wanted to invite the adult children of all her friends, who FI and I don't know or hang out with. We had to cut some of our friends we're not as close to because of our venue size, so we were not going to have people who aren't important to us just because they're related to others who are.
I'm with you on this one. We actually kept our wedding even smaller at 50 people, but we're having another 50 later in the evening for the party. Some of our parents (all divorced, so 8 between us including new partners!) wanted to bring friends. Personally I found that to be quite peculiar. It never made sense to me that they would have friends to our wedding any more than I would have brought friends to theirs birthday parties, for example. I totally understand Meg's way of thinking, but to me it makes sense to keep it as small as possible so that it can be as intimate as possible.
2) Our parents have similar styles/ tastes/ friends to us. They don't tend to ask us for things that we are uncomfortable with. I'm not assuming this isn't true for you, but I know it is not true for everyone.
3) We're extroverts. It might be as simple as that. Having more people to talk to multiplies my joy.
I could talk about a bunch of other things, like how seeing my parents talk to their good friends at our engagement party, and seeing their pride and excitement reflected in their friends eyes - how that alone made my night. But, I'm not sure that's the crux of the thing. (though, it's worth keeping in mind).
I love, by the way, how your blog encourages discussion.
i think that, in order to make our (or your) parents comforatble during the reception, it is necessary to invite at least one of their close friends- maybe one that has known you since you were a kid but that you don't talk to...only because it makes it better for the 'rents. not everyone is comfortable with going around and talking to random people they don't know. as much as i wish most of my family were extroverts, many of them are introverts and not exactly the best conversationlists to those they don't know. so, in my case, i think it will be considerate to save a few spots on the list for a few of their friends that i normally would not have invited. (although i'm not inviting random aunts and cousins i don't talk to.) so i am still keeping the guest list chock-full of people we want there, but we want people to feel comfortable, so if that means inviting a few of our parents' friends, then so be it.
This was a bit of an issue for us when we began, but I think we're reaching good consensus about it. At first I was frustrated by my mother's desire to invite about 20 people who i don't really consider my friends, but then I realised that part of her (subconscious) reason was that she got married at 19, overseas, with very little money; she never really got the big wedding thing. Add to that that all our family are overseas so her friends are her substitute family, and that I'm an only daughter, and I realised that I would need to shift my position.
At the same time, I was really concerned about the possibility that I would have to not invite some of my own friends - people I love and value - to make room for my parents'. When I voiced it in these terms, my mother was understanding, so she has cut down her expectations.
Also all the people my mother are inviting are really wonderful, helpful people who are assisting wholeheartedly with lots and lots of DIY stuff to help the costs down, so I really can't complain. We held a simple engagement party so that I could at least meet them all before the wedding - and they did all the food for that. Win win!

You could the Triumph shortie levers a try, if they're still available for the latest TS. They bring the hand closer in to the switchgear, and still not too strong a pull. Pretty expensive, but worth it IMHO.
That might be what I have fitted - I'll have to check. We've further modified to file down the cam for the span adjuster, which gives a little bit closer reach still.
One other thing, Im guessing you have the same CNC levers as me, and comparing them it is possible that the OE levers may be better for this issue if you cant get on with the 3 finger shuffle.
Never ever found it an issue. I guess I must always put the indicator on before or after I engage the clutch.
I guess this is one time when the old BMW system of an indicator button on each handlebar might seem sensible. One for left, one for right, and one somewhere to cancel them. They were immediately beside the grips IIRC, so would be easier for the 'thumb length challenged' to manage.
I always liked that system - it was by far the easiest and the most intuitive to use. Nice big flipper buttons too - really helpful in heavy traffic.
But it was probably more expensive to make, and needed more wiring, which is I guess why they stopped fitting it.
Jjs Bmw has that I think. Much more helpful!
Sure. it's a doddle, ridden the M25 loadsa times on route to the ferry at Dover.
Ya just hang about for a courier to come past ya, then pull out & stick to his back wheel like poo on a blanket.......Ha, Easy Peasy. Them boys are pure nutters.
I aint got the bottle for it any more, I get the Hull to Zeebrugge ferry nowadays, far less stressful. Canna understand how southerners live longer than us chilled out folk oop norf.


"I consider painting to be a long and constant labour, one that does not allow for improvisation. With the aesthetic means proper to this art, I aim to express my ideas and my emotions while eliminating what seems to me superfluous."
Spanish (born in Madrid, 1942) and living in France (Rennes) for many years, Mariano Otero is a round trip painter who periodically returns to his native land to show his work. Within his artistic production, tango is not his solitary theme yet it is an issue he recurs to and reconsiders with the creative glance of an artist. Although Mariano (still) does not really know how to dance the tango, his retina has been captivated by the plasticity of a dance that does not need to be dominated to be felt.
All the paintings were showed at the Galería Max Estrella, Madrid.

What's So F#@*ing Great About HONY?
If you haven't been living under a rock, you would have come across the Humans of New York (HONY) phenomenon by now.
What initially started in 2010 as a photo blog of everyday New Yorkers, or as the man behind HONY, Brandon Stanton, calls it a "photographic census", is now a global force for good.
The simple idea behind HONY was to paint a picture of a place that was different than the one portrayed by the media. When real people from all walks share their life stories, a more nuanced but telling narrative starts to emerge.
Stories on HONY range from heart-wrenching to hopeful, inspiring to enlightening; each one stirs the human spirit. In this multi-colored tapestry, we see the commonalities among our differences. As Brandon himself observed, "I think the similarities I've noticed are the aspirations of people. It seems that everywhere I go, people want the same things — security, education, family."
The stories are as moving as they are varied.
It's no wonder HONY has over 15 million followers on Facebook and 4 million on Instagram, and that Brandon has become a media darling — invited to make appearances on BBC News, CNN and even earning a spot onTime magazine's 30 Under 30.
Brandon could have very easily cashed in on his celebrity like a Kardashian, but instead he has chosen to do more. Much more.
Ironically, the tipping point for Brandon and HONY came after an attempt by fashion label DKNY to use his images without his consent. After being publicly outed by him and HONY fans, DKNY agreed to donate $25,000 to Brandon's local YMCA in Bedford-Stuyvesant which was in dire need of $100,000 to send 300 inner-city kids to summer camp. To make up the difference, Brandon started an Indiegogo campaignasking his fans to chip in — and they did to the tune of another $103,000.
After Hurricane Sandy, Brandon partnered with Tumblr to raise nearly $320,000 to help the relief effort. He also played a critical role in a successful campaign to squash controversial renovation plans to the iconic New York Public Library.
Another HONY-fueled fundraiser generated $1.4 million, creating a life-changing opportunity for students from the Mott Hall Bridges Academy in Brooklyn to visit Harvard University. It began with this conversation Brandon had with Vidal, a middle-schooler:
"Who's influenced you the most in your life?"
"My principal, Ms. Lopez."
"How has she influenced you?"
"When we get in trouble, she doesn't suspend us. She calls us to her office and explains to us how society was built down around us. And she tells us that each time somebody fails out of school, a new jail cell gets built. And one time she made every student stand up, one at a time, and she told each one of us that we matter."
Clearly, Brandon recognizes the power of his platform and was willing and able to put it to full use.
Last year, the United Nations asked Brandon to do for distressed countries what he has been able to do for New York — put a human face to their challenges. In August 2014, he set off on a 50 day, 12+ country tour to create awareness about the UN's Millennium Development Goals.
The trip, which began in Iraq, took him through Jordan, Uganda, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and South Sudan, and into Ukraine, Iran, Pakistan, and India, and perhaps other countries along the way. The media tends to portray these nations through a single lens of oppression, strife, and suffering. HONY has shown us that beyond these conditions, there are heartwarming tales of hope and resiliency — painting a softer, more complete picture.
The highlight of this world tour was Brandon's visit to Pakistan — a country we've come to know mainly for terrorism, political corruption, and natural disasters.
Amidst this landscape, Brandon witnessed and shared with the world a more holistic view. Picturesque countrysides, lively markets, and vibrant city life — all the while encountering people, many with smiling faces, wanting the same things we all want: security, freedom, community.
Then we were introduced to the heart-breaking tale of Syeda Ghulam Fatima, an activist working to eradicate what's known as bonded labor in Pakistan.
"Throughout rural Pakistan, illiterate and desperate laborers are tricked into accepting small loans in exchange for agreeing to work at brick kilns for a small period of time," Brandon wrote in one of the posts.
"But due to predatory terms, their debt balloons, growing larger as time goes on, with no possibility of repayment, until these laborers are condemned to work for the rest of their lives for no compensation," he wrote. "If the laborer dies, the debt is passed on to his or her children."
Within hours of Fatima's and the laborers' stories being shared online, people around the world wanted to know how they could help. HONY set up a fundraising page for people to donate and, in just four days, collected more than $2 million.
The overwhelmed, grateful Fatima has vowed to continue working to end this form of slavery in Pakistan.
In essence, what Brandon is doing is not new. He follows in the footsteps of famous photographers like Elliot Erwitt, Lee Friedlander, and Dorothea Lange — artists who told human stories with their images. Except that he didn't set out seeking fame. He wasn't even a trained photographer. Brandon took to photographing people on the street as a reaction to losing his job as a bond trader in Chicago. An introvert in a city where he didn't know anybody, he used this to practice social skills.
In five years, Brandon and HONY have had far greater impact than many mission-driven nonprofits. Perhaps not being burdened by organizational structure or convention frees him to act more quickly. And today's global connectedness enables the rapid response from his fans.
HONY's success as a force for good may seem serendipitous, but in reality, it's a product of design. Brandon pursued his passion like a good designer would—with an open mind, curiosity, and empathy for his subjects. And the result is HONY, an artifact that informs and transforms us with its power of story.

Power and No. 12 Team Add to Legacy in Productive 2021
Photo courtesy of LAT
With each passing NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, Will Power continues to make his mark on the series record book. The 2021 season saw him capture another victory on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course – his record fifth career triumph on that circuit – to give him a win in 14 consecutive seasons and a total of 40 wins for his career. His 63rd career pole position, won at World Wide Technologies Raceway (WWTR) in August, moved him closer to Mario Andretti's all-time INDYCAR record of 67 poles.
Power and the No. 12 Verizon 5G Chevrolet once again demonstrated in 2021 that they had the speed and performance to compete among the series leaders as Power continued to chase down the INDYCAR SERIES legends in front of him in the record book.
The season opened with a strong showing by Power and the No. 12 team as they produced a second-place finish in the series opener at Barber Motorsports Park. A top-10 result on the streets of St. Petersburg in the next race gave Power fans plenty of optimism that this could be a special year for the Toowoomba, Australia native. However, the team hit a dry spell over the course of the next five races, finishing outside the top 10 until earning a sixth-place result in the second race at Belle Isle Park in the Detroit doubleheader weekend.
It seemed as though Power and then Verizon 5G Chevy team found their footing following Belle Isle with a third-place run at Road America, but an early incident at Mid-Ohio – while running inside the top five – resulted in a 25th-place finish for Power at a track where he runs particularly well. The 2014 INDYCAR champion rebounded the following week with his victory at Indianapolis followed by his WWTR pole position and a subsequent third-place finish in the Gateway race.
Power and the No. 12 team entered the final three-race stretch on the West Coast ranked ninth in the series standings. In the season's home stretch, Power welcomed the opportunity to move up in the standings with races at three race tracks where he has been super competitive in the past. An early incident at Portland forced the team to fight back for a 13th-place finish. A 26th-place result due to a mechanical issue at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca the following weekend hurt the Verizon Chevy team in the standings, but Power was able to finish with a 10th-place result in the season finale at Long Beach.
In a season that saw Power produce a race victory and a pole position competing against the deep and talented series field, the 2018 Indianapolis 500 champion continued on his path to INDYCAR immortality. Power's 40 career wins place him fifth on the all-time list and his 14 consecutive seasons with at least one victory is tied for the fourth-longest streak in series history. Yet, it is his total number of pole positions that have him in legitimate striking distance of the all-time record as he enters his 18th INDYCAR SERIES season in 2022 only four behind the record.
"It was a solid year for the No. 12 Verizon Chevrolet team, but we could just never find the consistency," said Power. "I really wanted to win a race to keep that streak going, and I'm very proud of the number of pole awards we've been able to grab. It's a record that I would love to have, but I'm more focused on winning another championship and another Indy 500. We just need to find that consistency and we will be fine."

Developer insights: where are the software developers in Germany?
Urban centers dominate, but Germany is more decentralized than you might think.
Overall number
Every year, the Federal Agency for Employment assesses the numbers of all professions in Germany based on certain categories and subcategories. At the end of 2021, the institution found that we have 281,380 employed software developers (category 434) in this country.
From previous research I know that the number of self-employed technical experts veers between 10% and 20% of the overall numbers. It is safe to assume that we have 310,000 to 330,000 software developers in Germany.
This number has been rising steadily in the last years. In 2017, we counted 205,070 employed developers. That is a rise of over 75,000 in just 4 years!
Regional spread of developers on Germany
In most other European countries like the UK, France or Portugal the vast majority of software developers is located in the largest urban center, which also happens to be the capital.
This couldn't be further from the truth in Germany. Historically, German-speaking countries have seen a decentralized organization. This system persists until today, and has been additionally impacted by the separation of West and East up until 1990.
Software engineers mirror that. There are a range of urban centers that channel digital economies and communities. These are:
Map of Germany with digital urban centers, displaying the percentage and absolute numbers of software developers.
Hamburg — 4.6% — 13,120
Berlin & Potsdam — 8.8% — 24,920
Bremen — 1.5% — 4,260
Hanover — 1.5% — 4,290
Ruhrgebiet & Düsseldorf — 5.4% — 15,300
Cologne & Bonn — 4.0% — 15,300
Leipzig & Halle — 1.4% — 3,980
Dresden — 1.5% — 4,280
Frankfurt am Main, Wiesbaden & Mainz & surrounding cities — 7.0% — 19,740
Mannheim & Heidelberg — 1.4% — 4,180
Nuremberg, Fürth & Erlangen — 4.9% — 13,930
Karlsruhe — 3.0% — 8,570
Stuttgart — 6.4% — 18,130
Freiburg — 0.7%— 2,140
Munich & Augsburg — 10.5% — 29,750
Taken together, these centers comprise about 177,930 developers or about 63% of all developers in Germany. Considering that many of these centers have quite a large catchment area we can safely say that over 70% of engineers are concentrated in or around them. That sounds like a lot.
Software development in the countryside?
However, when we consider that Germany is THE champion of SME development within Europe it is evident that urban centers only paint one part of the picture. Smaller cities, towns and satellite settlements offer opportunities that are not found in capital-oriented countries.
Where we find the most software developers
Looking at the map, we immediately see why companies hire in the usual "suspect" cities like Munich, Berlin, Hamburg and Frankfurt. Most open positions can be found there. All four cities have a strong startup scene, with Frankfurt having a decided focus on Fintech, and Munich being known for the more "solid" startups.
It is highly surprising, nevertheless, that we don't see more emphasis on the centers in Northern-Rhine Westphalia. Ruhrgebiet, Düsseldorf and the Cologne/Bonn areas have a combined might of 9.4% of all software developers — not even counting the "off centers" Wuppertal, Solingen and Bielefeld. There, we traditionally find increasing demand due to the digitization of long-history companies.
Why is it that companies gravitate more towards the "trendy" cities? Is it because they attract expats more easily? Now that we go more and more remote will we see an increase in developers in the North-West? Or will they percentage stay the same?
For an analysis on non-citizen software engineers in Germany see this article.
The Rhein-Main and Rhein-Neckar regions are equal surprises. Surely, the software giant SAP has its seat close to Heidelberg (full disclosure: my employer). But Munich, for instance, is home to the whole range of the giants Microsoft, Google and Amazon. In numbers, those two centers are roundabout close in weight.
This is complimented by the tech focus areas Karlsruhe and Stuttgart. Baden-Württemberg — also known as the "Ländle" — is often cast the the "boring" and "burgeoisie" federal state. It is undeniable, though, that there is digital power hidden there.
The overall distribution
While we could increase the level of granularity, even with the current selection we become aware that medium-sized cities host a significant share of developers.
Leipzig and Dresden have been up and coming for the last years. Hanover and the surrounding areas show the increasing digitization of the car builders. Freiburg and Bremen have always held their position in the further reaches of the South-West and North-West, respectively.
My home, Franconia, scores with almost 5% of developers located in the Nuremberg Metropolitan area. This is not even counting the adjacent centers and mini-powerhouses such as Ingolstadt or Würzburg. Together with Munich, they make Bavaria one of the most digitally-driven federal states — despite the government's lack of efforts.

434 is the software programming subcategory in the Federal Agency's roster. When we look at the larger IT/ICT category 43 the percentages remain almost similar.
That being said, the absolute numbers are impressive: Germany reached 941,030 IT specialists in 2021. Together with the freelancers that means we have somewhere between 1 million and 1.1 million information technology experts!

in Community, Notes

Musicals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Although my mother despises them, I was fortunate enough to have an aunt and cousins who appreciated them and were willing to indulge me. I can't remember how old I was the first time that I saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show–other than to say that I was far too young to be watching it–but that movie changed my life; it stirred within me an intense passion for musicals that has never been quenched.
In high school, I made friends with some of the drama kids. It was so cathartic to be around people who understood my passion and to be in a place where there was no judgment. During intermission, we'd jam to showtunes in the dressing rooms. I always ask musical theater fans what their favorite musical is, and I hear all of the standards: Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Les Miserbles, Hamilton, and Rent, but never have I come across a fellow fan of Miss Saigon. In fact, any musical fan friend I've mentioned it to has said that while they've heard good things about the show, they have not experienced it themselves.
The musical is an updated adaption of the opera Madame Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini and features a score by the genius duo behind Les Miserables, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boubil. It is Broadway's thirteenth longest running show, opening in 1991 after succeeding in the West End in London for 2 years. Filipina singer Lea Salonga made her musical debut as the lead heroine, Kim, at the age of 17.
Set during the fall of Saigon during the final days of Vietnam War, the musical tells the tragic story of a young orphan who gets entangled in a world of prostitution and corruption to survive. On her first night as a bargirl at the seedy bar Dreamland, Kim's virginity is bought by a US marine, John, for his friend Chris. Chris is initially reluctant to partake in his gift, but relents, and desperate for any connection, the two fall in love. Chris vows to save Kim from her life of degradation, only for the two to be tragically separated when the US troops were suddenly recalled home. It's a tragic love story that pulls at the heartstrings and despite its risque subject matter, it never comes across as profane, just a sad way of life for these characters.
The score is beautifully done with wonderful songs such as: "Sun and Moon" and "The Last Night of the World" two of Kim and Chris's love songs, as well as "I Still Believe," and the heartbreaking showstopper "I'd Give My Life For You."
In 2014, the show was revived in London and fellow Filipina, Eva Noblezada was cast as Kim. Following a successful 2 year run, it transferred to Broadway for a year before closing once more. A film adaption has been rumored to be in the works for years, however, nothing has as of yet, surfaced, though the 25th anniversary performance was filmed and released on DVD in the UK.
Having a wide range of shows to choose from, I can honestly say that Miss Saigon is one of my absolute favorite shows. Not only does it showcase the most under-represented culture and ethnicity, but the story is so engrossing that you're sucked right in and your heart breaks along with Kim's. Her journey from scared child to fearless mother willing to die for her young son is captivating and the shocking ending leaves you in tears. This is a story of survival, love, determination, and above all else, strength that is universal to everyone.
Why this amazing show isn't more popular among the theater crowd, I will never know. Seriously, if you have not seen this show, or at least listened to the soundtrack, you are missing out. There are very few times before that a show has impacted me as much as Miss Saigon did when I finished the 2014 live recording album for the first time. I am hopeful that the success of both productions of the revival will spur the film adaption on an that the revival cast will get to reprise their roles on screen; Eva Noblezada was born to play this role and after having heard her countless times on the album and seen her in the 25th anniversary live DVD, there is no one else who can do the role justice, besides Lea Salonga, of course.
The OBC and 2014 live recordings can be found on Youtube, as well as the 2001 Manila tour production — featuring Lea Salonga. I was able to find the 25th anniversary movie on a site and download it onto my computer since it was never released in the US on either DVD or digital.
Please go and check this show out. Even if it isn't your cup of tea, even if it isn't your new favorite show, it's worth a shot.

I had the game gear. It was Sega's response to the gameboy and it had color, but it never got popular enough.


Amazon's billionaire founder, Jeff Bezos, says watching his Blue Origin rocket make a safe landing after flying into space rates as one of the greatest moments of his life, and he can't wait to take a ride himself.
In an exclusive GeekWire interview, conducted on the morning after the New Shepard test mission, Bezos answered questions about what the flight means for Blue Origin, the space venture he founded … why he waited so long to start tweeting … and when the rest of us will get a suborbital space ride. He also stirred the pot in his rivalry with that other billionaire space geek, SpaceX founder Elon Musk.
Jeff Bezos posted his first Twitter update to celebrate the New Shepard test flight.
GeekWire: How does it feel? I saw you spraying folks with champagne this morning … What was it like to have this flight go off today?
Jeff Bezos: I was very optimistic about the flight, but I'll tell you, when I saw that vehicle land, it was one of the greatest moments of my life. Judging by the fact that there wasn't a dry eye in the house, I'm pretty sure all my teammates here at Blue felt the same way. This is a field that people go into in large part because of real heart and passion, and that team did a remarkable job. It was just incredible.
Q: It sounds as if you might have been wondering for a second whether the rocket would actually land on its feet. Did you have any doubts?
A: You know, I'm an optimist – so I always go into things convinced that they're going to work. But being sure it'll work and seeing it work are two different things.
A: Well, first, for spaceflight in general: Full reuse is the holy grail of rocketry. You cannot throw the hardware away every time and expect to ever realistically lower the cost of access to space. It's just impossible. What we did is an existence proof that you can vertically land from space and reuse the rocket booster. Our architecture is scalable to very large size. So I'm super-excited about that. It's something that puts us – and not just Blue Origin, but it's something that puts humanity on the path to eventually having millions of people living and working in space.
You were there for last week's Apollo F-1 engine unveiling [at Seattle's Museum of Flight]. If you look at modern rockets today, they still look very much like what you would have seen in the 1960s. You have to get away from expendable rockets if you're going to the next stage. And the booster is the most important stage to make reusable, because it's the biggest, most expensive part of a rocket system.
Q: And what does it mean for Blue Origin?
A: For Blue Origin, it's two things: There's what it means for our tourism program, and then there's what it means for our orbital vehicle.
For the tourism program, I'm hopeful that we're a couple of years away from commercial operations at this point. We consider this the first of many successful test flights. We're going to conduct a very thorough, very deliberate test program. For the next couple of years, we're going to fly this vehicle many, many times and put it through a lot of stressing conditions. When we're completely confident in the vehicle, then we're going to start selling tickets and putting people on board. That's very exciting.
As for what it means for our orbital vehicle, one of the reasons I love the vertical-takeoff, vertical-landing architecture is that it's so scalable. We're going to take the same architecture we just validated with New Shepard, but at larger scale with our BE-4 engines, and have a completely reusable vertical-landing booster for the orbital vehicle that we're going to fly out of Cape Canaveral.
Q: Are you going to be like Virgin Galactic's Richard Branson and make plans to go on the first commercial flight when New Shepard is ready to take on passengers?
A: I can't wait to go! I've wanted to do this since I was 5 years old. One thing I love about our vehicle architecture is that it flies autonomously, so we can do this very methodical test program without risking any test pilots. We'll go through this for the next couple of years, and then I can't wait to climb into that vehicle.
Q: There's been a lot of buzz over the past couple of hours. SpaceX's Elon Musk has sent along some tweets, [talking about the difference between suborbital and orbital when it comes to launches and landings]. People are discussing where today's flight stands in space history. Could you say something about your relationship with Elon? I know you've had some controversies, but I also remember hearing that at one time you traded notes about going into space. Are you frenemies?
A: Well, I don't how to characterize it. The basic Falcon 9 booster is a suborbital stage. In fact, they do a deceleration burn in space that lowers their re-entry conditions. Our re-entry conditions are probably harsher than theirs because of that in-space deceleration burn. They're not trying to make their orbital stage reusable. They're working on making their suborbital stage reusable. And that's what we just did.
Q: This was the first day that you've ever tweeted, as far as I know. What took you so long?
A: I wanted to save my first tweet for the world's first reusable rocket.
Q: I heard that you invited the "Good Morning America" broadcast team to go into space. How liberal are you with those invitations?
A: Are you interested in going?
Q: I think I am, yeah.
A: All right. Well, we'll put you on the list. I can tell you're a passionate space guy, and that's the kind of person we have a soft spot in our heart for. So we'll keep your name ready.
Q: OK, I'll hold you to that. … Anything else you'd like to touch on?
A: Well, I hope you can imagine how much passion there is around the room on this team. There are more than 400 people at Blue Origin, and this is just a great achievement of theirs. I'm really proud of the team.
Q: What's the team doing now? How do you celebrate something like this?
A: We had a party in Seattle, and we had a party here in West Texas. I think people are looking forward to having Thanksgiving dinner and showing the videos to their families and friends.
Q: And you'll probably be doing the same, I imagine.


Three new Altiplano timepieces, each featuring iconic areas of Piaget expertise, comprise this year's pre-SIHH models. Ultra-thin watchmaking, exceptional gem-setting and an expanded focus on hard stones, illustrated with meteorite, enliven these three models, which will be formally presented at the 2019 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva.
One of the key areas of savoir-faire associated with the Maison Piaget is the technique of gem-setting. As one of the very few traditional watchmaking manufactures with an equally strong focus on jewellery, Piaget is uniquely placed to create pieces that blend watchmaking with the precise skills associated with working in precious stones. These stones, formed under tremendous heat and pressure and extracted from deep beneath the earth's surface, highlight the eternal brilliance of a Piaget timepiece.
The 36mm Altiplano High Jewellery is an essential model in the elegant collection of Piaget, speaking to the feminine wearer and those who appreciate classic watch proportions alike. For the first time, it comes set with baguette diamonds on the bezel and dial, and a sunray-brushed dial in Piaget Blue, limited to an edition of 88 pieces.
The baguette cut is known for its discretion and refinement. In the pre-SIHH 36mm Altiplano High Jewellery, the baguette diamonds frame the watch and mark out the dial quarters, allowing the intense dial hue to truly shine. This particular shade of deep blue, somewhere between cobalt and midnight blue, has defined the maison through the decades and most recently anchored the anniversary collection of Piaget Altiplano watches shown at the 2017 SIHH. Like the sky itself, the dial reveals different aspects of appearance under varying levels of illumination, the sunray finish creating a hypnotic play of light and shade that is almost alive in its brilliance.
The 41mm Altiplano Tourbillon, limited to 28 pieces, represents the height of Piaget's prowess in gem-setting, decorative stone dials and ultra-thin high watchmaking. Completing the trio of Piaget's pre-SIHH creations is, fittingly, a watch that embodies the purest expressions of essential Piaget — the pink-gold 40mm Altiplano with grey meteorite dial and a simple distillation of time told in hours and minutes, with a date window at three o'clock.
The combination of pink gold with the grey meteorite and pink-gold indices is a step removed from the high-contrast beauty of the 36mm and 41mm models, but more fully showcases the subtle nuances of the meteorite as a material. The 40mm Piaget Altiplano in pink gold with grey meteorite dial is limited to an edition of 300 pieces.
The history of Piaget is inextricably linked with the history of innovative fine watchmaking, particularly in the area of ultra-thin movements. Milestone records include the hand-wound calibre 9P of 1957, the self-winding calibre 12P of 1960, and more recently the 1200P of 2010 and the extraordinary 2mm-thick Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept presented at the 2018 SIHH (read more about here).
The price for the Piaget Altiplano Tourbillon G0A44053 is CHF 110,000 before taxes.
The price for the Piaget Altiplano with grey meteorite dial G0A44051 is CHF 24,500 before taxes.

The congregants of Southern Oaks UPC feel that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ would like to raise us to another level in our relationship with Him. Since the day He called us out of darkness into His marvelous light he has been calling us to higher heights. We have determined to rise together with Him and with our fellow believers through reading, studying and applying His Word, consistent and fervent prayer, expressive worship and intentional evangelism.
It is our desire that all who attend our services feel the challenge to "draw nigh to God."
Another erroneous assumption is that there is little connection between belief and conduct. To the contrary, inadequate or false views will definitely affect our choices and actions. The more we assimilate divine principles, the more Christ- like we will become in daily life.


Reader: What has happened to common sense?
As I read the San Angelo Standard-Times headline article Monday, Jan. 28, I was shocked at the discovery by the Texas Secretary of State there were approximately 95,000 non-citizens who were registered to vote.
Let me try to understand this. Our constitution clearly permits only citizens to vote. The person in charge of our state's elections is trying to keep non-citizens from voting, and that is "alarming?" Common sense, we miss you so. When did you die?
Stevens further opined this action was a thinly veiled effort to purge the registration rolls and to discourage participation at the ballot box. Mercy.
Voting illegally is a form of theft. It is taking something that does not belong to the non-citizen. As a former retailer, one factor we constantly watched for was shop-lifting. Were our efforts to stop shop-lifting trying to "discourage participation in the shopping experience?" I don't think so. In fact, we did everything possible to encourage customers to shop. It was only the shop-lifters we wished to discourage.
This lunacy must stop. I heard on a news program where a professor had lost her job at a college because she encouraged her foreign students to speak English. This professor was simply trying to convey to students that the better their grasp English, the better they would be in an English-speaking environment. I feel certain she was not attempting to denigrate the students' native language nor heritage. She was simply using common sense.
Our society has become hypersensitive, looking for slights in every remark. We need to spend less time looking for the negative and more listening to what they are really saying. Who knows, maybe we just might learn something of value, and our dearly-departed friend, Common Sense, might come back to life.

This is the authors' accepted manuscript of an article that has been published in its final definitive form by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020.
For re-use rights please refer to the publisher's terms and conditions.
This paper propose a fuzzy logic based energy management system (FEMS) for a grid-connected microgrid with renewable energy sources (RES) and energy storage system (ESS). The objectives of the FEMS are reducing the average peak load and operating cost through arbitrage operation of the ESS. These objectives are achieved by controlling the charge and discharge rate of the ESS based on the state-of-charge of ESS, the power difference between load and RES, and electricity market price. The effectiveness of the fuzzy logic greatly depends on the membership functions. The fuzzy membership functions of the FEMS are optimized offline using a Pareto based multi-objectiveevolutionary algorithm, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). The best compromise solution is selected asthe final solution and implemented in the fuzzy logic controller. A comparison with other control strategies with similar objectives are carried out at a simulation level. The proposed FEMS is experimentally validated on a real microgrid in the energy storage test bed at Newcastle University, UK.

Do I need experience to join the team?
Not at all. We have a Novice team designed for those with no experience and you will spend a year with this team learning the sport with many others who are also new to rowing. We also have a Varsity team for those who have rowed in high school or who have finished their novice year.
What regattas do we attend?
The team attends several regattas throughout the year. They include the Chattanooga Head Race, Head of the Tennessee, Hobbs Island Regatta, Head of the Brazos, Louisiana State Championships, Heart of Texas Regatta, SIRA, Row Tide Regatta, John Hunter Regatta, Dad Vail Regatta, ACRA, as well as host the Marathon Rowing Championships and several home races.
What do I need to do to join the team?
There is a meeting Tuesday, September 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the President's Room in Student Union. At the meeting we will hand out some paper work, talk about the team, and introduce the coaching staff and some current rowers. If you cannot make this meeting or have questions, please contact Coach Jason Stelly at 318.357.5921 or stellyj@nsula.edu.
Are there different "positions" on the team?
There are several different "positions" we are looking to fill. We need rowers for both our Lightweight and Openweight squads. We are also looking for Coxswains. Coxswains are an extremely important member of the team, who helps run practice, motivates rowers, steers the boats, calls the race plan, and other responsibilities. If you are less than 120 pounds, you may want to consider becoming a Coxswain.
The team usually consists of 30-40 rowers.
The team practices on Chaplain's Lake on campus during the fall and Cane River Lake in the spring.
How long is the "rowing season"?
There are actually two rowing seasons. We begin training for the fall season in September and the races are referred to as Head races and generally are approximately 3 miles. When the rowers return to class in January, we begin training for the Sprint races. The majority of the racing and traveling occurs in the spring and the 2000-meter course is a slightly different format than the fall.
Does the Novice Team get to travel, too?
Yes. The team travels together to most regattas. We will be traveling across the country from Knoxville to Philadelphia to Oklahoma City to Austin and race a variety of programs.
Almost nothing. Each member is responsible for membership dues which run $100 a semester. This covers all your travels expenses (hotels, gas, rental vans) except for food.
Please do not hesitate to contact Coach Jason Stelly at 318.357.5921 or stellyj@nsula.edu.
Is it tough to fit crew into a busy college schedule?
Rowing is a time consuming sport, but with proper management it is possible to add crew to your college life. We work hard but we play hard too! Some of our rowers hold part-time jobs, many are honor students, and all would be happy to talk to you about how they balance rowing with college life. The rewards of rowing are, in the team's opinion, well worth the time commitment.
Demon Crew practices 5 times a week-Monday-Friday. Practices run from 5:00p.m.-7:15 p.m. on Mon-Thurs & 7:00-8:00 on Friday. There is also an erg workout in the gym that rowers do on their own during the weekend.
What sizes and builds are good for rowing?
Our team is open to all shapes and sizes. Your attitude is more important than your body shape!
I'm sitting on the fence about crew. What should I do?
If you are worried about the physical demands, time requirements, or you're just not sure what this is all about; we encourage you to come to our recruitment meeting. There is no commitment required for your first few days of practice.
What is a coxswain? Can I be one?
A coxswain is the person who steers the boat, encourages the rowers, and acts as an on the water coach. Coxswains are usually of a smaller build (120lbs or less). If you are interested in coxing we would love to teach you about it! Come to practice and let us know.
We are looking for people with good attitudes, a willingness to learn, and a desire to be part of a unique and close-knit team. Athletic ability is very helpful but not absolutely necessary. Rowing is an extremely physically demanding sport, but the team is here to help you learn and develop your skills. NO PREVIOUS ROWING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED. We'll teach you everything you need to know!

Marilee Fiebig Holmes Parents Are Pauline Fiebig And William Fiebig
Marilee Fiebig Holmes parents William Fiebig and Pauline Fiebig are residents of the United States. Marilee Fiebig Holmes was the first child born in 1977.
Marilee with her family moved to the United States when she was just 5 years old because her mother always wanted her daughters to take advantage of the education system that she didn't have growing up in Africa.
Pauline decision to provide her kids the best educational support started Marilee's interest in the field of law, and being an Immigrant she saw the tedious process her family went through and decided to become an immigration lawyer.
She is married to TJ Holmes since 2010 and they also have a daughter together.
Marilee Fiebig Holmes Parents Are From African Descent
Marilee Fiebig Holmes Father Has Four Decade Of Experience In Farming System
Marilee Fiebig Holmes parents gave her all the necessary support to improve her education.
Marilee has an impressive educational background as she graduated from the University of Michigan before finishing her law degree at Vanderbilt University Law School.
Her interest in the field of law started when she saw her mom go through the immigration process and have dual nationality at that time and saw the difficulty her mother faced during that time.
Moreover, her dad is the senior technical advisor in climate-smart agriculture and has a lot of experience always told her daughter Marilee to pursue her education and be the best at what she does. Her parents are proud to have a daughter who specialized in Immigration law, which they think is very important to the community and is doing a very good job at it.
Although she has an impressive background due to her career Marilee is facing a lot of controversies due to cheating allegations made by her husband.
Also, she kept her Instagram private immediately after the news surfaced and hasn't been active on social media since then.
Marilee Fiebig Holmes father William Fiebig is a farming systems agronomist with over four decades of experience.
William has expertise in climate-smart smallholder homestead farming systems in Africa, where he offers technical support for sustainable intensification, according to her LinkedIn profile.
One of his major accomplishments is their more than 15 years of experience working with both official and informal seed systems. He has created and carried out rural development projects.
He has contributed to teams that developed programs and projects and evaluated their effectiveness for USAID. He has also created long-term planning documents and analytical studies in climate-smart agriculture for DFID's Climate Smart Agriculture Programme for Eastern and Southern Africa.
He has recently started working as a consultant in climate-smart agriculture as an independent contractor and is working hard because he thinks Africans are in a good position to use climate-smart agriculture to lessen the consequences of climate change on their ecosystems.
William's first position was as a Rural Development Specialist in 1975, following three years of service in the Peace Corps when he helped smallholder farmers establish fish farms by establishing a trial fish culture program.
Since his first job in 1975 till present he has done a lot of work in farming system and half of his life have already been dedicated working in the same field.

Who Invented the American Flag
The American flag, a symbol of the enduring power of the United States of America, was first hoisted in 1776 with the Union Jack, the flag of Great Britain in the canton, but in 1777 the United States Congress approved changing the flag, and a short while later the original thirteen stars representing the 13 colonies was adopted and used by American forces in the War of Independence.
America's first flag was very similar to the flag familiar to all Americans and a fair percentage of foreign nationals in other countries, it had thirteen red and white alternating stripes, and in the canton a blue field with thirteen silver stars, in some flags arranged in a circle, but in others arranged in a grid. In those days many flags were home-made, but in any event it didn't really matter how the stars were arranged.
Legend tells us that a homely widow named Betsy Ross, who is portrayed in Bugs Bunny cartoons as an elderly and kind woman with a glowing face and grey hair raised in a bun, was the inventor of the American flag. The story is certainly attractive, Betsy was an all American lady whose husband had passed away many years before. Betsy owned a seamstress shop and had supposedly been a neighbor of George Washington.
In 1870 one of Betsy Ross grandsons, William Canby made startling claims that his grandmother had been approached by George Washington, Robert Morris, and George Ross who together represented a flag committee established by Congress to design a new flag that didn't include the Union Jack. Many people still believe that Betsy Ross was the inventor of the American flag but the Congressional Library has no records of a flag committee, and Betsy Ross herself never claimed to have designed the flag.
Prior to the declaration of independence a secret society of men called the Sons of Liberty used a flag of nine alternating red and white stripes that were vertical instead of horizontal. Many historians believe the American flag was based on this, although the first US flag with the Union Jack is almost identical to the flag of the British East India Company.
Another American, who is just as deserving of the hero status awarded to the inventor of the American flag was Francis Hopkinson, a Congressman and one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence. Hopkinson designed the Great Seal of the United States, and was also chairman of a Navy board department in 1776-7 when the navy was tasked with creating a flag for the US.
Invoices from Hopkinson which were rejected by Congress for his work on the flag design on the grounds that he had already been paid for his time as a Congressman, the wording suggesting Congress had no issue with him as the designer, only with him wanting to be paid twice.

Wake Radiology Renews as Year Round Partner with Komen
Subjects: Breast Cancer, Breast Imaging, General News
RALEIGH (May 10, 2010) – Wake Radiology has renewed its commitment as a year round partner with the Komen NC Triangle Affiliate. As a partner, the practice is committed to multiple events held by Komen NC Triangle over the next year and supports educational and outreach efforts by the organization. This is the second year that the practice has signed on as a year round sponsor. For the past three years, the practice has served as sponsor at the annual Komen NC Triangle Race for the Cure.
This year's Race will be held on Saturday, June 12 on the campus of Meredith College in Raleigh. The event, which attracted more than 23,000 participants in 2009, raised more than $1.75 million. About 75 percent of the funds raised from the race remains with the local affiliate to provide breast health research, education, screening and treatment programs for uninsured or underinsured women. The remainder of the proceeds goes to fund groundbreaking national breast cancer research.
"At Wake Radiology, we are proud to be a sponsor with the local Komen affiliate, as they share our philosophy of early diagnosis and treatment," said Kerry E. Chandler, MD, director of Breast Imaging Services at Wake Radiology. "Over the past decade, we have seen many advances in imaging and treatment that have led to a marked decline in breast cancer mortality. While much progress has been made, we cannot halt efforts to provide annual screening mammograms that have been so successful in uncovering breast cancer in its early, treatable form. We're excited to once again partner with the Komen Foundation who are also on the front lines helping patients who live in our community."
In addition, Wake Radiology has developed an advertising campaign featuring employees who are breast cancer survivors. The campaign includes print and sponsorship of a Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) bus wrap for a special Pink Bus promoting Komen and breast cancer awareness. The practice recently completed a photography session of employee survivors in the facilities boxing ring at Rapid Fitness on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh. Owner Michael Rattenni partnered with the practice by donating space for the educational advertising program.
According to the American Cancer Society, about one in eight women will develop breast cancer at some point in her life. This year, approximately 192,000 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and approximately 40,000 people will die from the disease. However, research reveals that the mortality rate could decrease by as much as 30 percent if all women age 50 an older would have a mammogram.

About Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cure. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, Komen has become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
The NC Triangle Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure serves a 13-county region, including Caswell, Chatham, Durham, Edgecombe, Franklin, Granville, Harnett, Johnston, Nash, Orange, Person, Vance and Wake counties.
