The Sensual World
Every so often I read a book that makes me suck wind, as my former colleague in the bookstore used to say.
Suck wind~v. 1. to draw breath through one’s mouth. 2. To elicit a gasp. 3. To be surprised, as in the sudden appearance of Jesus Christ at Buffet World (extremely unlikely, and entirely inappropriate in this context.) 4. To experience a euphoric reaction to a beautiful thing.
Big Wolf & Little Wolf: The Little Leaf that Wouldn’t Fall is such a book. As I turned the pages of BWLW for the first time, I was struck by the exquisite charm and quirkiness of the illustrations by Olivier Tallec. And the writing…well, I wasn’t expecting it to be so poetic, and the ending so lovely. It is a vent sucer à deux, a double wind-sucker. When I finished it, I wanted to share it with someone, anyone, immediately, after I caught my breath of course. My cat, however, was uninterested.
Sometimes I feel like a preacher, fired up by the Good Word (or the Good Illustration), my arms raised in a beatificating pose, testifying to the masses, and one mightily bored feline. Big Wolf & Little Wolf: The Little Leaf that Wouldn’t Fall is a great book. A perfect book. And your souls will be damned if you don’t pick it up.
The story begins in spring, on a magnificent hill under two chunky, but softly painted trees; a bucolic scene spread over two pages.
In fact, all the pages follow this format, and all are magnificient. Big Wolf-tall, slim and amply snouted, is catching butterflies with a net, and Little Wolf, squat and blue, is fixated on a leaf, ‘sweet and tender green’, which is protruding ever so delicately from the tree’s canopy.
“I just have to taste it.”
Big Wolf replies, “Wait. Eventually it will fall.”
By summer, the little leaf has turned shiny and deep green. Little Wolf says, “Go get me the leaf. I just have to look at myself in it.” Badminton racket in hand, Big Wolf advises patience. Autumn arrives and the colours have turned soft, including the leaf which Little Wolf longs to rest against his cheek. Again, Little Wolf asks Big Wolf to fetch the leaf. “I just have to touch it.”
“Wait,” said Big Wolf. “You’ll see. Soon it will fall.”
While it appears as if Little Wolf is rather demanding, he is at heart, a sensualist, yearning to experience the perfection he perceives to exist in this leaf. Ever out of reach, Little Wolf’s attention wanes. By winter, he no longer asks about the leaf which even now, still clings to the branches of the tree, a last wisp of colour in the barren landscape. It is at this point that Big Wolf decides to pluck the leaf for his friend. “I’m going up!” he declares. In his (really awesome) yellow fur boots, Big Wolf begins his ascent, and Little Wolf says nothing. As the branches crack under Big Wolf”s weight, Little Wolf begins to ask himself if the little leaf is worth the trouble. Climbing ever higher, Big Wolf almost falls, and now Little Wolf is sure the leaf is not worth it, but still he says nothing. Finally Big Wolf reaches the leaf, which he is just able to touch by stretching his body across a branch. The leaf is ‘sweet and tender’ and Big Wolf is determined to pluck it from the branch for his friend, but the fragile leaf falls to pieces in his hands.
“In the setting sun, red and gold flakes descended slowly towards Little Wolf, who waited below. Little Wolf looked up into this rain of gentle stars. Little Wolf caught a teeny tiny one on his tongue, and he tasted its sweetness. As another passed before his eyes, he saw how bright it was. When a piece slid all the way down his cheek, he felt how gentle it was, and he trembled for a long time.”
Little Wolf says nothing.
Big Wolf slowly descends the tree. The night has fallen and the crescent moon hangs in the blackened sky. Little Wolf waits until Big Wolf’s feet are firmly planted on the ground, and then he says:
“That was the most beautiful thing I ever saw.”
And that’s when I sucked wind. How lovely. How deeply, and wonderfully moving.
The quietly evocative, and beautifully paced words by Nadine Brun-Cosme are accompanied by the most gorgeous artwork by Olivier Tallec. What a team they make, although the words and the illustrations, if they had not been in service to the other, would stand magnificently on their own. It happens all the time. You find a book that has great illustrations, but a ho-hum story. Or vice-versa. Not here. Big Wolf & Little Wolf: The Little Leaf that Wouldn’t Fall is a perfect collaboration between two great artists. The multi-media (mostly oil, I think) landscapes by Olivier Tallec are truly breathtaking, but it’s his wolf, or wolves, that really steal the show. Big Wolf in particular, more of a scribble, or stick-wolf, than a fully rendered drawing, is so funny and charming in his yellow boots and puff-ball toque, he is instantly endearing.
Little Wolf, clearly the dreamer of the two, exists in many of the pictures as a tiny blue streak of paint (in woolies) against the colourful expanse of the seasonal backgrounds. Love the trees, and especially how Tallec picks out just a few details here and there, including the little leaf that wouldn’t fall, almost invisible and yet so compelling. Out of the ordinary, just like this book.
There was a predecessor to The Leaf that Wouldn’t Fall called Big Wolf & Little Wolf, as well as a third (and last) book in the series to be published in April called BWLW: Such a Beautiful Orange! I dipped into the Enchanted Lion Books website and discovered that they published another 32 Pages favourite, The Chicken Thief. A stroll through their other titles and it’s clear this is a publisher is seriously committed to exquisite illustrated picture books.
Olivier Tallec was born in Brittany, France in 1970. He graduated from the Ecole Ecole Supérieure d’Art graphique in Paris worked in advertising as a graphic designer before fully devoting himself to illustration. Monsieur Tallec has illustrated over 50 books for children. He also has a fabulous website, but once again, it has not been translated, so my opinion is based entirely on the pretty pictures, not the pretty words (high school French is good for translating cereal boxes, not websites.)
Nadine Brun-Cosme has published more than 20 novels and picture books for children. She lives in France. Thank you Ms Brun-Cosme, for making me suck wind. You’ve written a beautiful book.
Big Wolf & Little Wolf: The Little Leaf that Wouldn’t Fall is written by Nadine Brun-Cosme and illustrated by Olivier Tallec. Published by Enchanted Lion Books, 2009

Please note, some of the illustrations faded in the translation from book to scanner. Get the book. I insist.
Also, thanks to Kate Bush for inspiring the title of this post.

Thompson Scores Multiple Honors at Road America
By SRO Motorsports America StaffJune 29, 2016GT Class, Team News
ELKHART LAKE, Wisc. – After a difficult few Pirelli World Challenge races, Colin Thompson was a part of the post-race ceremonies once again, collecting two Best Start of the Race awards and a Hard Charger honor at Road America.
Thompson and the K-PAX Racing team knew Road America, with its long straights, would be an uphill battle for the McLaren 650S GT3. Thompson’s 17th-place qualifying position for Saturday’s race confirmed those fears, but he had 50 minutes of caution-free racing to make the best of it.
Pushing hard on the start, Thompson picked up three positions before Turn Three, earning the Optima Batteries Best Start Award.
“The start was really hairy,” Thompson said. “I ended up splitting the wall and a Porsche. As you start going up the hill out of the final turn, the wall gets closer and closer. That wall was jutting toward me as I was side-by-side with the Porsche. After the team saw the video they went and checked the end plates on my wing to see if there were rub marks because it was that close! I was able to lock another two positions in by the time I got to Turn Three. Overall, it was really clean even though chaos was happening all around me. I didn’t touch anybody and was able to move past three cars.”
Unfortunately, Thompson was unable to advance any further due to an issue with his No. 13 K-PAX Racing Pfaff/McLaren Toronto McLaren 650S GT3 that forced him to pit multiple times. He ended up finishing 22nd. The K-PAX team worked hard overnight to sort out the issue and Thompson had a much more fruitful Race 2 on Sunday.
Starting from 17th, Thompson managed to have an even better start on Sunday, picking up five positions on the opening lap.
“I did the exact same move as Race 1, going between the wall and a different Porsche,” Thompson said. “That actually got me two positions. I was able to grab another spot by the time I got to Turn One. I got a run going into Turn Three and got another two guys. I passed five cars the first lap!”
It just got better from there as Thompson proceeded to work his way up through the field, all the way to seventh in class and eighth overall. It was the best result the team could have hoped for on a track unsuited to the McLaren’s aero strengths.
“When you have a start at Road America, you really need to work it out by the time you get to Turn Three, because after that, its all about the draft and top speed and that was something we were lacking,” Thompson explained. “I knew I had to get a good run and build a gap out of Three, so I could secure my spot going into Turn Five and then just work on growing the gap and catching the next guy.”
Once again, Thompson collected the Best Start of the Race Award, but he also earned the VP Racing Fuels Hard Charger Award for advancing more positions in the race than any other driver.
Coming away from the Road America weekend with three special awards was just the boost Thompson needed at the halfway point in the Pirelli World Challenge season and heading into the next round at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, July 29 – 31.
You can watch Thompson slice through the field at Road America, on CBS Sports Network, Sunday, July 3, at 3pm ET.

China faces shortage of express delivery workers in the New Year
Faced with long hours, intense work pressure, low pay, high living costs and insecure employment, many express delivery workers, the vast majority of who are young male migrant workers, are choosing to stay at home after the New Year holiday rather than go back to the cities.
Many delivery stations in major cities Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu etc. have been struggling to find enough staff, and local governments have launched recruitment drives to lure workers back.
An exhausted courier grabs some sleep while he can
Many express delivery companies began their own recruitment efforts prior to the holiday, proposing competitive “monthly salaries ranging from 4,300 yuan to 15,000 yuan, during peak seasons.”
Like the factory owners before them who struggled to retain workers after the New Year a decade ago, some delivery companies helped couriers buy return rail tickets for the holiday and provided bonuses for introducing new workers to the company as a way of getting them to stay.
Unlike factory owners however, very few delivery companies can actually guarantee a secure job with proper benefits to workers and thus have a much more difficult time ensuring that their workers return. Even S.F.Express and e-commerce giant JD.com only hire a certain percentage of couriers on formal contacts with pensions, medical insurance and other benefits such as company vehicles.
Most express delivery companies hire staff from labour agencies or rely on temporary workers during peak periods such as Singles Day in November. Another common practice is to establish franchises as a means of expanding coverage in smaller cities. These franchises may be just one person or that that person may hire their own workers, again on a very precarious basis.
Most couriers are essentially independent contractors, responsible for collecting and delivering packages in a specified area. They are restrained by tough regulations on delivery times: Deliveries inside a city should be within 24 hours, deliveries in different domestic cities should be within 72 hours, and penalties are applied for failure to deliver on time. Contractors are only paid by the package and have no labour contract or social insurance from the company.
In 2017, China’s courier business volume increased by 28 percent to exceed more than 40 billion packages for the whole year. Revenue also grew by 24.4 percent to reach 495 billion yuan. The workers however never shared in the benefits. As a result, many young couriers have no sense of loyalty to the business and will quit as soon as better opportunities arise. The industry may eventually to move to drones to ensure deliveries but in the meantime, it will have to rely on its under-paid army of around two million young migrant workers.
Unless the industry improves pay and working conditions for its couriers however and gives them proper contracts and secure employment, it will continue to face labour shortages in the future.

5 Willpower Habits Every Man Should Develop
Editor’s note: The following selection on “Will Power Habits” comes from The Technique of Building Personal Leadership (1925) by Donald A. Laird. We changed “will power” to “willpower” in the text, to match modern vernacular.
I don’t know what willpower is. But I do know that many people have difficulty in directing their mental and physical abilities consistently and effectively. Perhaps it is determination and grit they lack, perhaps it is a lack of willpower. At any rate, they are lacking in a vital quality that makes for achievement. Near-poets are about the only people that can be a success with this lack in their make-up.
You may have known of people with such strong determination that they were privately called obstinate and stubborn. This is selfishness rather than the consistent direction of one’s energies. It is not willpower, but won’t power. Many people think they are strong willed and moral merely because they do nothing bad. The real test, however, is not negative but positive. It is: how much good have you directed your energies to accomplish?
“May the gods spare me from these ‘burn-‘em-up’ salesmen who work like a whirlwind the first week each month, and lay down the rest of the month,” a sales manager of a Wall Street bond house said to me recently. He wanted bond salesmen who made most commissions for themselves — and incidentally for the company — at the end of the year, not those geniuses who could sell without trying and who tried very sporadically. The race is not always won by the swiftest, but often by those with the rare quality of stick-to-itiveness.
The track coach of a midwestern university recently told me the following story which illustrates the point. Joe Smith came to college from the farm. He was too small to play football, too near-sighted to get into baseball or basketball, but he wanted to serve the school and make a name for himself in track. But the track coaches could see no signs of promise and Joe was advised to take up debating or checkers.
Discouraged, but still determined, Joe secretly trained himself for three years for the distances. Two miles from the campus where he lived was an attorney’s home, and Joe took care of the furnace. Early mornings when no one was stirring about the campus he ran to his furnace. Late at night he repeated his morning program. He timed himself, varied his stride, and kept at it for three years without the coach being any the wiser.
When entries were being made for the spring meet of the conference Joe came out the first afternoon and showed the coach what he could do. The coach agreed to enter Joe in the two-mile distance. Joe held out, however, until he was entered for the half mile, mile, and two mile. He qualified in the preliminaries, and when the finals were run Joe came in first in each one.
I have fallen into the habit of thinking of Joe when I feel like running away to do something else. It helps me keep from becoming discouraged too easily. It helps me plan for results not just for a day but for a goal set several years into the future. I have found that it also helps others to know about Joe. Difficulties such as Joe surmounted really give the best experience there is for developing what some call will power.
There are several easily formed habits of work and thought which also give an added impetus to self-determination and energy direction.
Get down to business at once is one of them. I know of people who actually tire themselves out in getting started to work. They listen for the clock to hear if it is running (although it has never missed a day). Then the things on top of their desk have to be arranged just so. Then they begin to wonder what they should do first. Suddenly they think it would be thoughtful to sharpen a supply of pencils. They should be made to realize, however, that it is better for them to grab the first letter and tend to that than indulge in all this will-weakening dalliance which each day gets a firmer hold through the tenacity of habit formation.
Another one of these important habits all should try to get deeply ingrained is to do the hard or unpleasant task the first thing. Continually postponing writing an unpleasant letter, for example, makes delaying it easier the next time. I have found personal desks literally crammed with unpleasant tasks of this nature. This particular person was not conscious of a weakening of his will; he was bothered with fatigue which his light job brought on. Little wonder! The accumulated worries in his desk would have tired anyone. Anticipating unpleasant tasks is thus not only undermining one’s self-determination but is building up additional fatiguing worry as well. Do the difficult job first in the morning and enjoy a more restful day. Learn to like difficult tasks, for it is these rather than the easy ones that steel your determination.
How many unfinished jobs are left behind when we put on our hat to go home also indicates the strength of our self-determination. To develop this trait favorably one should stick to a job until it is done. Form the habit of staying, not quitting. And when you do feel like quitting think of Joe who trained for the distances, or Daguerre who spent fourteen years to get a photographic image to stick on glass. Don’t be a putter-off.
The tired person is the weak-willed person who is easily led. Few people die from overwork, but many wills are killed in this fashion. The editor of one of the two best-known magazines in the world visited me last year. The first remark he made as he stepped off the train in Utica was, “For heaven’s sake, don’t ask me to make a decision; that is all I do all day long on the job and I want to rest.” Form the habit of keeping well rested. If you need an alarm clock to get you started mornings, you are cheating yourself on rest.
Are you sold on yourself, on what you are doing, on the goal and aim you have in life? If you are, there is little need of worrying about your will being weak. The best incentives for getting determined and consistent action come from within. It is a sorry person who does not have his inner self goaded along by the example of some famous man of history or of today’s business. Read about these people, associate with them as much as possible, and get under their shadow for personal encouragement and inspiration.
Form the habit of getting down to business at once.
Form the habit of doing the hard or unpleasant job first.
Form the habit of sticking to a job until it is done.
Keep well rested.
Believe in yourself, your job, your life plan.

A Few Reasons Why Life Goes HAYWIRE
James Harleman / January 27, 2012 / No Comments
It’s no secret that Steven Soderbergh essentially just built a movie around MMA fighter Gina Carano because he caught one of her fights. While the backdrop of Haywire is seemingly a web of international intrigue, it’s actually pretty simple, and the director seems less interested in making a film so much as toying with action movie conventions, improvising like a jazz musician. It’s appropriate then that the score employs various jazz tunes set during the non-fighting sequences (which have no music, and no enhanced fisticuff sound effects) and the music, like the movie, has moments that gel and moments that don’t.
While not a great film, it’s intriguing to watch Soderbergh riff, see the surprisingly all-star cast that surrounds Carano (Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton, Michael Douglas) and realize that she holds her own in screen presence and acting chops. I’m certain we’ll see more from her.
As a black ops soldier seeking payback after being betrayed and set up, Carano plays Mallory, a woman so enigmatic she’s effectively a force of nature (albeit very human and fallible in Soderbergh’s steady hands). It’s hard to glean a lot from her stiff-lipped character in the narrative, but as we see a string of men get their comeuppance at the hands of this relentless woman, I realized there are very human reasons why they fall under her strong will, which make it intriguing as a character study less of Mallory and more of the men who misjudge her.
“You shouldn’t think of her as being a woman. That would be your first mistake.”
Aaron – Underestimating
Channing Tatum shows up as Aaron and, instead of the usual bad-ass we expect antagonists to be in a typical action flick, he confesses to being tired. He complains he’s driven all night and whines that Mallory’s situation dragged him out of bed. He’s irritable, uncomfortable, and in every way misperceives the gravity of the situation. He underestimates the implications of what’s going on, underestimates the seriousness of the current scenario and threat, punctuates it by underestimating Mallory’s fighting prowess, her will, and the relentless ends she’ll go to in protecting herself. (Concurrently, he OVERestimates his own skills). Aaron is beaten before the films opening fight even begins.
How many times do we walk into situations like this in our lives? We overestimate our own abilities, underestimate the physical, psychological or spiritual opposition we’re facing, and get our prideful posterior soundly trounced and handed to us? We wander half-asleep through life itself, ignorant that there is a real conflict going on that may bubble to the surface and impact us at any second. We’re thoroughly unprepared to handle the “enemy” that may well devour us, be it the world, the devil or our own flesh.
Still, even being aware of these things doesn’t mean we won’t hesitate when it’s time to take decisive action.
“He who hesitates is lost” – Joseph Addison
Paul – Hesitating
One of the revealing things Michael Fassbender’s lets the viewer know about his character Paul is that “he’s never done a woman before”. While I certainly don’t condone murdering anyone (which would include said woman) it’s curious to see how Paul’s fascination with Mallory and his admitted trepidation lead to his undoing (which is pretty clearly shown in the trailer, so that shouldn’t be a spoiler). I’m glad he doesn’t succeed, but on another level it’s telling that, again, Mallory isn’t just victorious because ‘she’s perfect’. As Aaron underestimated her, Paul fails here by hesitating, by what appears to be some pulled punches and an unwillingness to commit. He’s undone by his own faltering, however slight (as he certainly is trying to kill her) whereas his prey has no reason to hold back.
Choosing a righteous course of action and then looking back has turned people into pillars of salt. Jesus once said that a man who puts his hands to the plow but looks back is clearly unfit. I’m actually happy when this happens to a villainous antagonist in a story, but how many times has it also happened to us? How many times have we been anything less than whole-hearted… and that wavering cost us a victory, cost us respect, cost us a relationship? Are we hesitating in areas that may have dire consequences for our life, for our soul? How high will the cost of this hesitation be?
Kenneth – Coveting
Actually, Ewan McGregor’s slimy character has a laundry list of issues and this one barely covers it. We could also throw in deceit, lust, bearing false witness, worshipping money, and more. He covets Mallory as a asset for his business and also, how do we say… covets her assets. Instead of chewing scenery, however, McGregor presents Kenneth as a fairly regular guy, one we can all probably say with shame that we relate to. Maybe our double-dealing doesn’t cross international borders and get people killed directly, but if we all are, or have been, in lifestyles and seasons where all we care about is our own bottom line.
If we want the butt-kicking heroine of the story to mete out some much-needed justice on Kenneth, what might that implicate we deserve? Our resonance with movies like Haywire might have less to do with the enigmatic protagonist and more to do with whether or not we’re transparent enough to recognize we relate with the compromised people upon whom the wrath is poured out.
Are we FIRST REFORMED?
Our World, A FALLEN KINGDOM?

The Top 5 Cloud Security Companies to Watch
by Martin Tantowon October 12, 2011
All companies planning to migrate to the cloud have serious security issues to consider. This is the reason why a lot of startup companies are out in the market to address this problem and to take advantage of this huge market base.
Check out five of the most recent companies offering their best cloud security features.
CloudPassage
Cloud Passage has its headquarters in San Francisco and was founded by CEO Carson Sweet, who came from Agentrics, Executive Chairman Talli Somekh from Musea Ventures and Vice President of Engineering, Vitaliy Geraymovych from a technology consulting firm.
The key features of their product include Halo SVM and Firewall SaaS, and the best part of their service is that it is free.
Their Selling Point: CloudPassage had their eyes on the reliable security feature that will protect the virtual server platform, which they believe is the lifeblood of the virtual network. CEO Sweet said, “People sometimes sort of forget about the virtual network around those machines that need to be secured.”
CipherCloud’s headquarters is located at Cupertino, California. Founder and CEO is Pravin Kothari; he was formerly the founder, CTO and interim-CEO for Agillance. He also held the vice president of engineering and co-founder position for ArcSight.
They use tokenization and cloud data encryption for their security features, which they offer on a pay-per-service subscription at $20 per month.
Their Selling Point: CipherCloud focuses on encryption and tokenization as their primary security feature, which will both protect data on storage and data in migration. Kothari said that the security threat lies in the hands of the unsecured enterprise customers and not their cloud providers. He said, “Our gateway is designed as a stateless solution. This, along with our high-performing encryption algorithms, ensures near-zero impact on the performance.”
HyTrust
HyTrust’s headquarters is located at Mountainview, California. The following key people are responsible for the company startup: John De Santis is CEO, who is the former vice president of Cloud Services at VMWare, Eric Chiu and Renata Budko are co-founders and act as president and vice president of marketing, Hemma Prafullchandra is CTO, who is also the former CTO of FuGen Solutions.
HyTrust offers their newest version 2.2, which supplies a centralized access and control for cloud servers that provide reliable security and compliance. The service per host supported is set at $1,000.
Their Selling Point: They have been chosen last year as the “2010 Company to watch” gives them the edge over their competitors. Their security product stood out against established industry forerunners conducted by Trend Micro that tested various virtualization security management tools.
Bromium
Bromium is a company that is still on the stealth mode and is currently developing their security features. Their headquarters are located in Cupertino, California and Cambridge, U.K. It is headed by their founders Gaurav Banga, former CTO of Phoenix Technologies; Simon Crosby, former Citrix CTO of Data Center and Cloud Division and Ian Pratt, current chairman of Xen.org and another Citrix expert.
Since the product is not out yet there is no pricing available, but a lot of hint are being speculated that Bromium’s product will use virtualization to secure all endpoints of the cloud enterprise.
Their Selling Point: Crosby remains to be one of the most outspoken about the public cloud. He says that security breaches are not the result of cloud loopholes, rather they come from the unprotected cloud enterprise customer base, which they are hoping to address.
High Cloud Security
The company’s headquarters is located also at Mountain View, California. High Cloud Security’s co-founders include Bill Hackenberger, who is also CEO and president and Steve Pate. Hackenberger, was a key person in startups like AIM Technology; he also served as vice present of engineering for Caymas Systems and Vormetric. Pate, on the other hand, served as CTO of Vormetric and developed virtualization at HyTrust.
Their product has not released any pricing yet, but says that their Virtual Machine encryption answers will provide a vital security platform.
Their Selling Point: Their product marketing strategy took a different route by releasing an excerpt from an article that pointed out the three quick steps on how to steal and hijack important enterprise data. They emphasized that all machines are running virtual at that time, so they came up with a solution that the only way to prevent hijackers’ access to the database is to encrypt all sensitive information at the storage layer.

Special bulletin - Acoustic Americana Music Guide
You can read the entire current edition at
http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com/2010/03/acoustic-americana-music-guide-fresh_27.html
Meanwhile, here's some fresh news:
TV show about WESTERN Music...starts tonight, March 30, 2010!
The first round of filming, sorting, and editing are complete. Meet "The Heart of Western Music." It is the brainchild of Scott and Linda Deal, and the idea is, well, sorta an “American Idol for Western Music.” Not pop, not country, not "country western" but Western Music...the music of the American West. But the big difference is, some of the leaders of the Western Music industry will listen to the newly discovered talents, folks just entering the Western Music arena, and instead of criticizing in front of the TV audience, they mentor, teach, encourage...and by golly, the concept is working!
The first episode airs Tuesday March 30, nationwide, at 7:30 PM Pacific, 8:30 PM Mountain, 9:30 PM Central.
Find "The Heart of Western Music" on Direct TV Channel 344, or Dish Network Channel 230.
A huge part of the success if this project has been the generosity of the artists, and the Deal family, and if the network sees enough viewership, the show continues. And YOU can be a part of the success, by viewing the show if you have Direct or Dish, and by looking at the videos attached here. It is a BIG event for the future of Western Music.
Please do join us!
Here are the video links...share them with friends and family, as well as this email.

Acoustic Americana Music Guide & fresh News, March 27 to April 6 (and beyond)
This edition contains an urgent appeal to YOU to support the Guide, so that it can continue. See the first first News Feature.
MUSIC GUIDE & NEWS
MARCH 27 to APRIL 6 events (and beyond, through 2010)
1) URGENT APPEAL FROM THE GUIDE
SUPPORT THE GUIDE, AND GET SOME GREAT DVDs / CDs IN RETURN!
Last year, the Acoustic Americana Music Guide gave-away tickets to see EMMYLOU HARRIS, SHAWN COLVIN, PATTY GRIFFIN, BUDDY MILLER, and others. We want to offer tickets for shows THIS year, as well – and we can, because they’re available to us (and therefore to YOU) – but ONLY if we can continue to maintain the Guide. That’s where you come in.
RIGHT NOW, we are offering some GREAT thank-you gifts in return for your support – we have CDs and DVDs we can send you!
The Guide must ask NOW for your financial support. For more than seven years, the Acoustic Americana Music Guide has brought you the most detailed information on acoustic music performances in the Los Angeles region and news of acoustic music festivals everywhere, together with news of things like workshops for artists, songwriting contests you can enter, and lots more. The Guide has continued to grow and list more and more and more gigs and acoustic music events – and that’s part of the problem. There is an ever-increasing amount of all of it.
We don’t simply tell you when the “big names” are in town. We provide as much information as we can, covering the great unknown indies; the up-and-comers; the wonderful artists who write clever or inspiring songs and are virtuosos on their instruments; talented musicians ranging from today’s “acoustic renaissance” innovators to those who breathe new life into everything from Ragtime to Skiffle to Old Time fiddle music to Blues slide guitar to mandolin to banjo to accordion to harmonica to sweetly-blended vocal harmonies – and much, much more.
Our write-ups don’t stop at the “who, where, and when” information available in several calendars around town. We reveal the crucial “WHAT” – what kind of music a performer or band does, what awards they’ve won for it, what accolades they’ve collected along the way, and more. And those are the things that make all the difference between seeing names you don’t know, and quickly knowing that an artist or band is someone you’d like to see. (That’s the feedback we get all the time.)
In addition, we provide separate descriptions of dozens of acoustic music radio and TV shows that feature performance-interviews with artists (mostly available as web simulcasts), and recently we’ve added so many additional acoustic music shows that those listings now require separate postings for each day.
We cover the rich, broad, deeply tuneful spectrum of acoustic Americana – from blues to bluegrass to borderlands, Cajun to Celtic to cowboy to Cape Breton to Quebecois, new-old-trad-alt-post folk, and the best of today’s vibrant acoustic renaissance. If it’s acoustic music, from folk-Americana to Djangostyle gypsy jazz, from sea chanteys to honky-tonk to accessible classical music perfomed live, even stage plays and other events we think you’ll like, our goal is to include all of these things in the Guide – and with enough information to enable you to see at a glance what they’re about – and more, to offer an informative and pleasant journey – an exploration of the live music landscape.
Riding herd on all this, and getting the word of all of it to you, requires many, many hours EACH and EVERY week. And since our editor’s eye surgeries (two surgeries, with two more still to come), things are more challenging and take even longer.
If you print-out the Guide, with its detailed presentations of live music events and news features, it’s over two hundred pages of original content each week. We don’t just cover FAR MORE (by orders of magnitude) than the L.A. Times and LA Weekly combined – we bring you news of many genres – hundreds of acoustic music performances that those other “news” sources have consciously chosen to ignore.
And yes, along the way, things have gotten completely out of hand, in terms of the time required to do all this, especially in this economy. We just can’t do all this for free anymore.
We can and will continue to bring you the Guide, and even EXPAND to a full-feature website in the near future – IF we have your help.
So here’s the deal – WE HAVE GOODIES FOR YOU in return for your help!
SEND US A CHECK FOR $25, and we’ll send your choice of:
(A) the professionally-produced DVD of the multi-artist Benefit Concert for the editor - with LOTS of wonderful performances- PLUS, one CD of your choice,
(B) you may select THREE CDs from the list of all that we have available.
(And read the catalogue to the end and get ANOTHER bonus!)
The COMPLETE LIST, WHERE YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR “THANK-YOU” GIFTS, is at
http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com/2010/03/support-guide-and-get-some-great-dvds.html
Email us to tell us you’re sending your $25 check, and to tell us whether you want the Benefit Concert DVD plus one CD, or three CDs / DVDs from the catalog as our “thank you” for your $25. That’s important, because everything in the catalog is first-come, first-served (there is usually only ONE of each catalog item) and the first email asking for a particular CD is the one that gets it.
WRITE YOUR $25 CHECK TO “TIED TO THE TRACKS” AND MAIL IT TO:
Pasadena CA 91117-5427
Then email us at tiedtothetracks@hotmail.com and put “Guide Thank You” in the subject line – tell us what choices you want, and confirm your selections before they’re gone.
It is our intention to keep publishing the Guide, and to make it even better – THANK YOU for your help to do that!
2) FOLKWORKS PRINT EDITION - SPECIAL SUMMER ISSUE
To be distributed at the Claremont Folk Festival, Topanga Banjo Fiddle Contest and many other festivals and concerts throughout the summer, now has advertising space available. The special edition will appear online (www.folkworks.org) as well as in print. The ad rate sheet with specs is available by email from ledas@pacbell.net. The ads must be submitted at 300 dpi for paper printing (not at 72 dpi as used online-only).
3) CELEBRATE RECORD STORE DAY & GET SPECIAL STUFF, APRIL 17…
Though they are often portrayed as a dying breed, true music lovers have respect and admiration for the REAL record shops that remain on the American economic and cultural landscape. Again this year, record stores across the U.S. are celebrating “Record Store Day.” It’s April 17, when many stores will offer exclusive, collectible items from a broad range of artists, including Bruce Springsteen.
Columbia Records has produced a 10" vinyl single available only on Record Store Day. For those who’ve never seen a vinyl record, it actually has music on two sides. The special single’s side A is "Wrecking Ball (Live at Giants Stadium)" and side B is "The Ghost Of Tom Joad (Live Version featuring Tom Morello)."
Exclusively created for Record Store day, the limited edition 10" Springsteen single features two rare live performances from 2009 and 2008. Both of these tracks have previously been available digitally, but not on any CD. You can only get a copy on Record Store Day. The label tells us, “This piece is strictly limited so contact the store in advance to make sure that they will have stock.” (More on the Boss and his recordings at brucespringsteen.net.)
Check out www.recordstoreday.com to find your nearest participating store, and pay them a visit on Saturday, April 17.
4) COFFEE GALLERY – WHAT’S WITH ALL THE NEW PHONE NUMBERS?
Used to be that when you wanted tickets for a show in the Backstage before it sold-out, you simply called the front counter and got a harried barrista, and waited your turn to get your reservations made. That was always fraught with potential problems, since barristas often have a waiting line of folks who want complicated beverages – folks who may provide the barrista with tips – but answering the phone and fielding questions while paging through a reservation book brings no tips and creates delays for counter patrons.
Okay, so it was long overdue that the Backstage got a separate phone line with a separate person answering it - or at least a recording device where you declare your desired reservation and leave your phone number.
But the Backstage proceeded to get TWO different phone lines. There is a reason for that. You can call 626-794-2424 during the day and you’ll usually reach Beverly, who will take your RESERVATIONS FOR BACKSTAGE SHOWS (or, if you don’t reach her, you can make a reservation on the answering device).
Or, you can call 626-689-4144 at any hour, always get an answering device, and select options for RESERVATIONS FOR BACKSTAGE SHOWS, or leave a message for CGB impresario Bob Stane, or inquire about renting the Backstage, or you can still get routed through to the front counter if you need to know anything about the Front Stage’s (free) shows, or the free WiFi, or the food or drink operations. That latter desire – reaching someone at the front counter – can still be achieved at the original number, 626-398-7917 – just remember that phoning the counter gets you a barrista who is probably harried, so be patient. And now you know why the other numbers are for reservations.
It really is worth noting this stuff, since some Backstage shows sell-out promptly, and none of these numbers are available in the phone book or from directory assistance.
5) ALL-STAR LOWEN & NAVARRO TRIBUTE CD HELPS ALS FOUNDATION
Check out the "KEEP THE LIGHT ALIVE" CD. It’s a multi-artist tribute to LOWEN & NAVARRO, and all proceeds go to the ALS Foundation and to Eric Lowen in his heroic battle with this dreaded disease. Info at www.keepthelightalive.org. (Yes, we told you about the album when it was first released, so this is a gentle reminder, or news for those it missed it the first go-’round.)
6) THOUGHT FOR TODAY…
“Drink coffee - do stupid things faster with more energy!” - T-shirt worn by banjo legend Bill Keith
7) THOUGHT FOR THE AGES…
“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything.” ~ Plato

Michael has done musical and spoken word excerpts from his compelling “Aztec Stories” presentation on radio’s “Tied to the Tracks,” including music on original and traditional Native American instruments.
Did you see our GUEST EDITORIAL in February 2010 by award-winning musician FREEBO? He wrote an essay on climate change that’s worth a read, and we presented it in the Guide. It’s entertaining and thoughtful, and takes it to the “deniers” in right-wing media. It’s at http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com/2010/02/climate-change-by-freebo-special-to.html

8 pm MUSICA ANGELICA, renowned Baroque Orchestra, presents Bach’s “ST. JOHN PASSION” at First United Methodist Church, 500 E Colorado Bl.; Pasadena.
This is the “St. John Passion” as Bach presented it 400 years ago. Although the son of J.S. Bach claimed that his father composed five Passions during his lifetime, evidence for only two – the St. John Passion and St. Matthew Passion – is documented. Music lovers will have a chance to hear the earlier work, described as “Bach’s most vivid and thrilling work” by the Gwent Bach Society, when the renowned baroque orchestra Musica Angelica presents the St. John Passion on Sat, Mar 27 at 8 pm at the First United Methodist Church in Pasadena and Sun, Mar 28 at 4 pm at the First United Methodist Church in Santa Monica.
“When we took the St. Matthew Passion on tour in 2007, El Universal in Mexico City described the performance as ‘a Passion as God and Bach commanded,’” recalls Laura Spino, Executive Director. “I have no doubt that audiences will feel the same way when our conductor Martin Haselböck tackles the St. John Passion.”
“We’re presenting the St. John Passion as Bach presented it almost 400 years ago at Good Friday services in his Leipzig Church,” says Haselböck, described by music critic Alan Rich as a “man who knows his Bach.” “As in Bach’s time, we are using eight solo singers to perform all the roles. This gives the ensemble parts more intensity than any choir could do.”
Bach never did write an opera, Haselböck adds, because Leipzig did not have an Opera House. “This is as close as he got to that genre,” the conductor explains. “His St. John’s Passion is the dramatic one, with powerful ensemble scenes and very emotional arias in contrast to the more reflective St. Matthew Passion.”
Soloists taking part in the production include tenors Tilman Lichdi and Pablo Corá; sopranos Mary Wilson and Catherine Webster; countertenor Ian Howell; baritone Michael Dean; and bass-baritone Scott Graff.
Info or tix at 310-458-4504 or www.musicaangelica.org. Tix, $49 or $55.
8 pm JANET KLEIN & HER PARLOR BOYS play Boulevard Music, 4316 Sepulveda Bl, Culver City; 310-398-2583; www.boulevardmusic.com. Come out and frolic with “Ukulele Chanteuse” Janet Klein, and her all-star Parlor Boys. Janet and her distinctive musician pals bring to life "Obscure, Naughty and Lovely tunes of the 1910s, ’20s & ’30s, delivering a bundle of spirited and inspired renditions of cleverly fun but forgotten Tin Pan Alley, early hot jazz, saucy bits and late ragtime gems. These merrymakers zestfully branch into obscure vaudeville and Vitaphone numbers, Hawaiian, Yiddish novelty tunes, French and Italian knock-out ballads.
The Parlor Boys feature Grammy winner Ian Whitcomb on accordion and ukulele (a Backstage favorite), as well as the astonishing guitar, banjo and whistling talents of John Reynolds, and Tom Marion on guitar, banjo & mandolin (he’s an alumni of R. Crumb's Cheap Suit Serenaders), along with a bevy of hot musicians on violin, cornet, trombone and slap-happy bass.

7 pm HOLLY FIGUEROA O’REILLY with AIDEN JAMES and CHRISTOPHER DALLMAN at the Skylark Café, 3803 Delridge Way SW, Seattle, WA 98106; 206-935-2111. Holly says, “It is a free show and is all ages. And it’s with these two dudes that will seriously knock your panties off. (I mean...your socks. Your socks off.)”
Holly recently auctioned a pair of Luna guitars with the money going directly to helping the devastated people of Haiti. She says, “Thank you to everyone who bid, and to the winners: I hope you are enjoying your new guitars! I really loved being able to write that check, knowing that it was going to do some bit of good.”
Holly has more news. She says, “Since my last update, I found out we were moving (yay! Good news! But time consuming and stressful, and doesn't leave a lot of room for anything else...), am starting a new part time job doing something I love (yay! very happy about this!), was FINALLY approved for financial aid, so am in school full time again (yay! I can't wait to finish my degree!!), and am being audited by the IRS for a year that I was still married and filed with my now ex husband (boo! Bad news! Major suckage! We mostly get along and everything, but...1) audits bite and 2) audits with your ex husband? Double bite.)...all this month. So, Evan and I decided to move recording to April, and keep working on pre production in February and March.
“There was a lot of good news in that last paragraph...way more good than bad. The good news in this paragraph is that all of the insane business that has swallowed February whole gives us lots and lots more time to take preorders for the new record!”

11 am-3 pm “FREE TRAIN RIDES” behind miniature steam locomotives at Los Angeles Live Steamers (LALS) Railroad Museum, 5202 Zoo Dr, Griffith Park, L.A. 90027. Closed on rainy days. This is not the park’s carnival-style train, though it is indeed big enough to ride, and the trains are pulled by real (if lilliputian) steam locomotives. It’s just east of Travel Town and its real but immobile steam trains. Revisit all those songwriting dreams of riding the rails and hearing lonesome whistles, even if each of the engines’ “big” drive wheels are something like four inches in diameter instead of 70 or 80 inches, and the whistles are more akin to piccolos than the haunting reverberations of the denizens of the high iron. LALS is a non-profit that’s been around since 1956, founded by train enthusiasts to educate people in railroad history and lore and to further the avocation of live steam, gas-mechanical and electronic railroad technology. They operate 7 1/2 inch-gauge (distance between the rails) model trains for the general public to ride every Sunday (weather permitting). The gate is open from 10:45 am to 3 pm. In addition, they have extensive layouts for 4 3/4” and 3 1/2” gauge model trains. Passengers must be at least 34″ in height, and weigh under 350 lbs. LALS survives solely from donations by fans who visit and ride the trains. Admission is free but be kind and give the suggested donation of $3. More at www.lals.org

7 pm THE REFUGEES featuring Cindy Bullens, Deborah Holland, and Wendy Waldman, at McCabe’s, 3101 Pico Bl, Santa Monica 90405; 310-828-4497; www.mccabes.com.
Each member of the Refugees has written hit songs, sometimes made famous by other artists’ covers. They are multiple-award winners as soloists and in bands, and veterans of the music industry and the folk-rock world. Each is highly entertaining and funny, and together they're a musically diverse intertwining of successful artists.
The Refugees are CINDY BULLENS, DEBORAH HOLLAND, and WENDY WALDMAN. (Wendy was profiled in 2007 in FolkWorks.) Together they are a convergence of songwriting and high-level performing talent. Each member performs her original songs accompanied by the others on guitars, bass, melodica, keyboards, percussion, mandolin, harmonica, and vocal harmonies. They also present their new co-writes.
CINDY BULLENS' career, jump-started by a stint in ELTON JOHN's band, has included eight solo albums on major or national indie labels. Her debut solo album, "Desire Wire" (United Artists), scored a breakthrough hit with her song "Survivor," (you can hear it at www.cindybullens.com/cindybullens_survivor.mp3) and it earned a Grammy nomination for best rock vocal performance. Her critically acclaimed 1999 CD "Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth" (Artemis) won the 2000 AFIM Award for Best Rock Album. Cindy's current CD is "Dream # 29," which the Boston Globe declared a "gem." Bullens continues to impress critics with a sound she has "perfected" (Washington Post), a combination of "no-holds-barred rock" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) and "aching melodies" (Country Weekly). "Dream #29" features guest appearances by SIR ELTON JOHN, DELBERT MCCLINTON and Red Sox pitcher TIM WAKEFIELD. Her songs have been recorded by the DIXIE CHICKS, RADNEY FOSTER, THE NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND, IRMA THOMAS and others.
DEBORAH HOLLAND's singing and songwriting talents were first introduced via two critically acclaimed albums, tours, MTV videos, and television appearances with the seminal trio ANIMAL LOGIC (with STEWART COPELAND and STANLEY CLARKE). She's followed with a successful career as a solo artist with 4 CDs; the newest one is "Bad Girl Once, Soccer Mom Now" (Rage On Records, 2006). Critics have praised her songwriting as "a lyrical ironist to match Warren Zevon." (Sing Out! magazine), "a female Loudon Wainwright III" (OC Weekly) and "as a wordsmith, Deborah Holland concerns herself with the balance between heart and mind. As an artist, she makes the balance seem effortless" (Dirty Linen). In addition to making records, Deborah scores music and writes songs for film and television, is a full-time professor of music at Cal-State L.A., and is a mother of 2 boys.
WENDY WALDMAN has a distinguished career as an artist (solo on major labels and cult fave BRYNDLE), one of the first woman record producers to have a major impact, and songwriter of multi-platinum songs in genres from country to pop, film, jazz, children's music and R&B. Her list of songwriting and producing credits is extensive and impressive, and includes the Grammy-winning "Save the Best for Last" (recorded by Vanessa Williams). Her first album, "Love Has Got Me," on Warner Bros. Records, was proclaimed by Rolling Stone Magazine to be the "singer-songwriter debut of the year." She has eight solo albums, all critically-acclaimed, and she's toured extensively. In 1996, a "best of" collection was released on Warner Brothers, followed by the reissue in 2005 of all her Warner albums. Her 2007 CD, "My Time in the Desert," had its world premiere on radio’s “Tied to the Tracks,” and CDs by the band's other two members have been heard on the show.

Named in FolkWorks as the Best Acoustic Band of 2008, they are one of, if not "the" most historical Western bands in the world. The Riders Of The Purple Sage have starred in films and radio for the pre-war days to today... Today's Riders, under the leadership of Cody Bryant, put on a show rich with old and new music. Band members are skilled musicians, and their instruments include a five-string banjo, hot lead guitar, fiddles, steel guitar, bass, hammer dulcimer, concert harp, coronet, drums, and consummate vocals.
While keeping alive the tradition of the original Riders' sound, they continue to write and perform new material that carries on and builds upon their signature style. Adding a strong swing influence (ala Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys), their performances appeal to listeners and dancers of all ages. Today’s Riders bring together hot swing riffs with smooth harmonies that, at the end of the show, leave the audience wanting more. Their sound and show makes you feel that all is well in the West. After one performance, critic Larry Wines called them “ethereal and orchestral,” adding, “They exceeded musicianship. They exceeded their genre.” Venue impresario Bob Stane adds, “You owe it to yourself to see this most amazing and amusing exhibit. Forget what you think you like and don’t like.

Tue, Mar 30; last Tue, every month; a “SHOW-OF-THE-WEEK” pick:
6-8:15 pm STAN WEST at Frisella's Roastery, 179 N Glendora Av, Glendora; 626-852-1810. A bluesman from hat to boots, Stan West is, according to blues expert Bernie Pearl, one of this country's premiere slide guitarists. Vintage Guitar Magazine wrote, "Stan West knows the Blues," and Seven Days adds, "If there is any justice, Stan West would be a legend." He’s still working on that, with his new CD, “Live at Mr. Mike’s.”
When he played the Fret House, they noted, “Stan West is something of an institution on the Southern Californian blues scene, delighting the patrons of the area's blues clubs with his potent slide guitar riffs for around thirty years, as well as opening for artists like Bo Diddley, Johnny Winter and Robben Ford. A rather astute observer of that four-letter word called ‘life,’ Stan West knows the blues.”
Stan has quite a history, indeed, including performing on stage with all those luminaries, and even with Janis Joplin. In 1977, a stroke paralyzed one side of his body and robbed him of the ability to play. Overcoming that with a new and unique slide guitar style, he launched the Stan West Band in ’79. Beginning in ’83, he became proprietor of Stan’s Guitar Shop in Glendora. His previous CDs were released in ’94 and ’97. More recently, Stan was diagnosed with coronary artery disease, and has been forced to declare “no more smoke-filled clubs!” Catching Stan perform these days is a rare treat. More at www.stanwest.com. Venue offers great food, beer and wine. Stan says, “Try their tri-tip for a real sandwich treat!”

Michael Smith is a songwriter’s songwriter, with songs like his iconic “The Dutchman” that are poignant and others that are mysterious or hilarious, and sometimes all three at once. Michael’s songs have been recorded by dozens of artists in the folk, country and pop music genres, from Steve Goodman to Anne Hills to Tony Trischka; from Gordon Bok to Trout Fishing in America to tenor John McDermott. His song “The Dutchman” has been recorded by more than thirty artists. His songs have been sung in nearly every folk music room in the United States and Canada, popping-up in modern British cinema, on Broadway, in cabaret and theatrical reviews, in Russian coffeehouses, camp singalongs, house concerts, weddings and funerals, radio and television.
“Hearing the songs of Michael Smith in this day and age is like reading an anthology of short stories by Hemingway after decades of only comic books,” says Song Talk Magazine. Sing Out! Magazine calls Michael “one of the few undisputed geniuses among singer-songwriters today.”
He has been writing for over three decades, and his songs include “Spoon River,” “Dead Egyptian Blues,” “Last Days of Pompeii,” and “I Brought My Father With Me.”
Michael was catapulted into international acclaim when he was commissioned to compose the music for Steppenwolf Theater Company’s production of “The Grapes of Wrath.” The production won 1990 Tony Awards for Best Play and Best Director, and Michael performed with the play for over three years in North America and England. He has been active in theater for many seasons, with numerous other original production credits as well.
Many people have been introduced to the music of Michael Smith from the recordings of his songs by artists such as Anne Hills, Bernice Lewis, Tom Rush, the late Steve Goodman, Claudia Schmidt, Jerry Jeff Walker, Liam Clancy, Gordon Bok, and even Jimmy Buffett. He has been featured on “All Things Considered,” “Good Evening,” and other National Public Radio programs, and on CBC Radio in Canada.
He has performed live at dozens of major folk and other music festivals in the US and Canada, including the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Bethlehem Musikfest, Kerrville Folk Festival, and the Owen Sound, London Ontario and Winnipeg Folk Festivals in Canada.
The Folk Era label has recently released “Michael Margaret Pat & Kate,” a collection of songs used in an autobiographical theatrical production, and “There,” a 2001 collection of new original songs. Michael’s latest is a pair of live performance CDs, both recorded during the same week in 2003, “Such Things Are Finely Done, Live from Tales From the Tavern,” and “Michael Peter Smith Live at Dark Thirty.” Both these CDs are available only from his web site or in concert.

8 pm THE HICKTOWN HOMEBOYS featuring ERIC CORNFORTH at the venue named in FolkWorks as L.A.’s best intimate acoustic listening room venue - The Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N Lake Av, Altadena; reservations 626-794-2424 ; venue phone 626-398-7917; info www.coffeegallery.com. Venue impresario Bob Stane says, “Your presence is requested to help welcome a great new band.”
The Hicktown Homeboys feature a new discovery, the young vocal powerhouse Eric Cornforth. They perform country classics, folk, bluegrass, Americana & oldies. Eric began singing his own original folksongs to great acclaim at the folk jams and open mics in Northern California at the age of 16. At 23, Eric is a torchbearer for classic country ballads and jukebox favorites, from Hank Williams and Merle Haggard to the Platters and Roy Orbison. Eric has entertained almost everywhere in Northern California and he's an annual attraction at the National Old Time Fiddle Contest in Idaho every June.
Bob Stane calls him, “a real crowd pleaser with a tremendous voice. He's almost too country for the country jams in Bakersfield and L.A. ...like a breath of fresh mountain air, Eric gives new life to great old songs, along with seasoned veteran players Chad Watson on bass, Jim Eaton on Dobro and Tom Etheridge on mandolin. The Hicktown Homeboys serve up two hours of authentic all-acoustic good old country songs. No gimmicks, just honest acoustic renditions of time-tested favorites from the American Country Songbook. Don't miss the Coffee Gallery debut of this enigmatic young phenomenon while he's still unknown by the masses... the songs on the video demo are slow tempo... they can also rock the house.”
Check out a performance video at www.hicktownhomeboys.com. Tix, $15.

8 pm THE BROMBIES bring bluegrass to Viva Fresh Cantina, 900 Riverside Dr, Burbank (next to L.A. Equestrian Center); 818-845-2425. They have a residency there, the first, third (and occasional fifth) Wed of every month.

New format is an Open Mic from 8-9 pm, with signups at 7:30 pm, first come, first serve. Each Open Mic performer gets a sheet of paper to write-down and rate every performer except him/her self. At the end of the Open Mic, the top-rated Open Mic’er participates in a song circle with Dale LaDuke and a guest artist. Venue offers tasty Italian food, and you can bring your own wine, with no corkage fee. No cover, artists perform for tips.
8 pm “LAPTOP LYRIC SING ALONG” on the Coffee Gallery FRONT stage, 2029 N Lake Av, Altadena; info, 626-398-7917; www.coffeegallery.com. Donna Barnes-Roberts says, “Now, what makes this SingALong special is that we are using everyone's laptops to show the lyrics we want to sing!” She’s started a blog, www.cgsingalong.blogspot.com with songs that may be chosen, including links to the lyrics on the web. Donna adds, “That way, everyone who brings a laptop with WiFi can see the lyrics we are singing.”
Everybody knows the world-famous Coffee Gallery Backstage, with its parade of professional acts. Now, Duane Thorin hosts this new weekly series, wherein invited artists lead sing-alongs, assisted by other musicians who drop by and want to play. Donna says, “There will be a few musicians to keep us together, but this event is not about showing what a great soloist you are - it is about everyone enjoying themselves, and singing - whether or not everyone is in tune (and I expect there will be sour notes - joy is not always pretty).” Duane adds, “Public invited to sing and play along to songs we all know and love. Musicians and singers welcome! We’ll start with all the Beatles songs and go forward and back from there. No sign up, just show up, sing from the audience or move up front to play along as well. The Coffee Gallery now features soup and sandwiches in the evening, plus coffee drinks, white and dark hot chocolate, pies, smoothies, smiles and good company.” This does NOT take the place of scheduled shows in the Backstage – it’s in addition to scheduled shows there. No cover.
8 pm “WHISKEY DICK WEDNESDAYS” at Fubar, 7994 Santa Monica Bl (1 blk E of Crescent Hgts), West Hollywood.

Say howdy to the craziest party there could ever be,” their promo says. Other nights there are anything but Americana music, and do not offer such incredibly cheap liquor.

It’s APRIL!
Aside from the fact that today is, infamously, April Fool’s Day, the origin of the month is rather interesting.
Hard for our modern reckoning to believe, but April was the second month of the Roman calendar until 45 BCE. The origin and meaning of the word “April” brings considerable debate. Jakob Grimm, one authority, says it may have originated from the name of a hypothetical god or hero named Aper of Aprus. Other scholars believe it originated from the Latin verb apeire, meaning “to open.” That would refer to the opening of buds and leaves with the arrival of Spring. Speaking of which, what’s the official flower for April? It’s the sweet pea, in case you wanted to know.
POEM OF THE MONTH FOR APRIL
from Shakespeare’s “”Merry Wives of Windsor”
He capers,
he dances,
he has eyes of youth,
he writes verses,
he smells April and May.

Thu, Apr 1; a “SHOW-OF-THE-WEEK” pick:
8 pm It’s “DINNER and a SHOW” with THE SWINGIN’ ARMANI BROTHERS at the venue named in FolkWorks as L.A.’s best intimate acoustic listening room venue - The Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N Lake Av, Altadena; reservations 626-689-4144; info www.coffeegallery.com.
The members of this band bear suspicious resemblances to the members of the Riders of the Purple Sage. For the past two months (one show each, in Feb & March), this was a delight of Italian folk music and opera mixed with more contemporary songs, and the band was joined by two very genuine opera singers. We expect opera singers to take part tonight, as well.
There’s catered Italian food, a drawing for an Armani mandolin signed by the band, as well as other Italiana flavored items. Venue impresario Bob Stane says, “Tap your toe and sway to classic neopolitan Italian folk music with a little Frank & Dino thrown in… violin, mandolin, guitar, bass and percussion by the Brothers, who, very often, suspiciously in certain light, look remarkably like some members of the Riders of the Purple Sage - but in pinstripes. Legend has it the Brothers stowed away on a freighter carrying olive oil from the old country to pursue their musical dreams in the Small Apple. See them before their green cards expire! The Coffee Gallery has cleverly stolen them away from a nearly endless tour of Italian restaurant lounges to perform for you. Bob Stane consumed gallons of lattes in his caffeineated and fevered pursuit of this unsung and largely cult act, so that you, his loyal music lovers, could enjoy them in the safe and relaxing confines of the Coffee Gallery. Jackson Armani will dazzle you with his mandolin virtuosity and his oh-so-romantic violin, and Codio will croon the night away. Relax, dance the tarantella with a ‘Stranger In The Night’ and sing along with your new found Italian friends to ‘That’s Amore.’ Come hungry! All this for only $24.99, dinner included.”

Ostensibly a “trop rock” collaboration, this is much more. Last time they were here, they made a bunch of fans and the members of the group sold a lot of solo CDs. Expect a good time, and a fine way to kick-off an early summer.
It’s “a night of 6-string Trop-rock music on a Panamanian coffee wharf.” (That's the décor of The Coffee Gallery Backstage, in case you never noticed.) What happens when you invite four very popular San Diego area musicians, who are singer-songwriters, band leaders / performers / old friends / and devotees of Jimmy-Buffet-and-beyond trop-rock, to put together a super-group to play your wedding? That actually happened, and the results is The Tiki Bar Allstars. They had so much fun playing that wedding, and were so well received, they convinced the “San Diego Parrot Head Club” to book them for its mega-fundraiser anniversary event. The results were magical.
Now, imagine you and them, with nothing but their acoustic guitars and their voices, are stranded on a coffee wharf in Panama because your cruise ship is in dry dock for repairs. You're sitting around on some crates and whatever chairs you can find with a tropical breeze coming off the Caribbean, and these guys just start singing whatever comes to mind to pass the time. That's what's already happened once before at The Coffee Gallery Backstage. It brought acclaim from music reviewers and a happy audience, so they return tonight to do it again.
Venue impresario Bob Stane says, “The friendship, the camaraderie, the common love of the trop-rock sound, the laughter, the spontaneity, you'll not find that in a show anywhere else. Though they'd never been on stage all together before that wedding, they are all old friends and have a rapport with each other that matches that which they each bring to their audiences. Their common affinity for the music of Jimmy Buffett, Harry Belafonte, The Kingston Trio, Bob Marley, the Hawai’ian Islands, the Caribbean, and good old American country and rock & roll, infuses their own songs with that unique blend sounds and style that says kick back and enjoy life.”
Bob continues, “The Coffee Gallery Backstage performance space being what it is, a stage set designed by a Disney artist to look like the above mentioned coffee wharf or dock at the jungle's edge, makes it the perfect setting for this one-of-a-kind event. Put on your tropical camp shirt, your flip-flops, your shorts and straw hat and come on down for a tropical shindig to remember.”

The Tumbling Tumbleweeds began as a tribute to the Sons of the Pioneers and they continue in their quest to pay homage to that rich musical legacy with a show complete with singing, humor, storytelling and a bit of fancy western footwork. In addition, they write and perform their own original songs in the style of that and other groups that have inspired them. With a blend of western heritage and movie nostalgia they are “Family Entertainment” through and through. The Coffee Gallery Backstage remains a special place to The Tumbling Tumbleweeds for giving the group their first real “break” and they return every few months to their old Altadena stomping grounds with their special brand of Western musical entertainment, bringing some new songs, laughs and plenty more rip roarin’ Western cowboy fun and good times.

At the band’s very first performance, they played for Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Gene Autry and Keely Smith. Will has a pair of Gold records. And they’re about to launch a new radio show.
They're variously described as “The Marx Brothers meet the Sons of the Pioneers!” - "America’s Singing Cowboy!" - "The Band that won the West!"
Since their critically-lauded year-long run at the Steve Allen Theater in Hollywood, Will Ryan & the Cactus County Cowboys will tell you that they've "broken records all over the country - Shellac and vinyl mostly, but they’ve promised to sweep up on their next tour."
Lead singer and guitarist WILL RYAN has written songs for acts like the Okay Corral Chorale, the Pointer Sisters, Patti LaBelle and Clark Burroughs. Also for characters like Tigger, Garfield, The Grinch and the Muppets. Will used to open for such folks as Rick Nelson, Pure Prairie League and Lionel Hampton. Then he became a Cineloquist, which is what he calls an Actor who does a lot of Voices. He can be heard in such films as “The Little Mermaid”, “Looney Tunes: Back in Action!”, “The Land before Time” and the holiday favorite “Mickey’s Christmas Carol”. Currently, he’s regular on “Mickey Mouse Club House” and the radio serial “Adventures in Odyssey.”
Instrumental Wizards WESTY WESTENHOFER (on bass, tuba and euphonium) and JOHN “PRESTO” REYNOLDS (on guitar, banjo and jazzbo) are Will’s sidekicks. You may recall them as the front men of the Palm Springs Yacht Club, when they worked with the Smothers Brothers, Julie Andrews and Steve Allen. Westy and Presto are the Originators and Principal Perpetrators of the musical art form known as BI-LABIAL FRICITATION. Venue impresario Bob Stane says, "Their demonstration of this arcane practice is a work of show-stopping flabbergastosity."
BENNY BRYDERN has returned from his own European tour to rejoin the band. You’ve been dazzled by his fiddle/violin virtuosity in his other bands, including THE HOT CLUB QUARTETTE and JANET KLEIN & HER PARLOR BOYS.
The newest band member is CHLOE FEORANZO, the 17-year-old old sax and clarinet wunderkind who’s now tripling on mandolin. This brilliant musician completely wowed the crowd at her first CGB appearance with the band in November.
Adding to Will’s pair of certified RIAA Gold Records for earlier work, he says the band’s first Audible Records CD, “Rhythm Rides the Range!” has "just gone uncertified Tin." They’ll be performing tunes from their new Audible Records CD at this show. Tix include dinner, $23.99.

Husband and wife team, Jim and Anne Curry deliver the multi-platinum hits and favorites of the late great John Denver, in a fun-filled evening of singing and stories. Jim plays 6 and 12 string guitar and sings John's songs in a crystal clear tenor. Jim voiced Denver’s songs in the CBS-TV movie “Take Me Home: The John Denver Story.” He has performed Denver's music in sold out shows throughout the country and aboard cruise ships. Anne, his wife and musical partner, plays guitar and mandolin and sings harmony. You'll be invited to sing along, share in the memories, learn new songs (you probably already know more of t6hem than you think), and howl at the moon (literally) as you take part in Denver’s last song, about the return of wolves to Yellowstone.
The music of the late John Denver is like an old friend, outlasting trends and standing the test of time. This is a nostalgic and thoroughly enjoyable tribute to the music of one of the most beloved singer-songwriters ever to grace the stage.
Jim's uncanny ability to mirror John's voice and clean-cut look takes you back to the time when "Rocky Mountain High," "Sunshine," "Calypso," and "Annie's Song" topped the charts, when John Denver’s popular music had the heartfelt message of caring for the earth and caring for each other. John Denver's message is worth repeating: "Be kind to the Earth and to each other." More at www.jimcurrymusic.com. Tix, $18.

He’s described as “A ‘Green’ walkin' man with audio visual electrics,” and venue impresario Bob Stane says, “Seeing a Walkin’ Jim Stoltz concert is like coming face-to-face with a modern day Johnny Appleseed. His ‘Forever Wild’ concert combines photos (from twin projectors), songs, and stories all stemming from over 28,000 miles of wilderness walking. It’s an evening of Woody Guthrie-meets-Ansel Adams - the stirring photography, Jim’s deep baritone voice, and his rich songwriting transport us to the last of America’s wild places.”
This is his 24th year of touring with this award-winning multimedia concert for the Montana man of the mountains, who consistently inspires and uplifts audiences from coast to coast.
“The road less traveled is not a road,” says Walkin’ Jim. And after an evening with America’s wilderness troubadour you’ll have a better appreciation of our country’s beautiful wildlands heritage. Jim has trekked from coast to coast, three routes from Mexico to Canada, Yellowstone to the Yukon, and annual backcountry treks from high in the Arctic to deep in the Utah’s canyonlands.
Bob Stane adds, “This is a rare chance to meet a man who knows America like no one else. Come out and experience this unique event, from a spellbinding story about his guitar saving his life, to the glorious photos of wild America, to the tuneful melodies that spring from the land itself, it’s a one-of-a-kind evening.” Tix, $20.

Annual “SANTA CLARITA COWBOY FESTIVAL” this year with a theme of, “It’s Not Country- It’s Cowboy!” brings great authentic and original Western music from Grammy nominated singer-guitarist DON EDWARDS, Western Music Awards king DAVE STAMEY, SONS OF THE SAN JOAQUIN, RUSTY RICHARDS (a previous 20-year member of the Sons of the Pioneers), COW BOP, COWBOY CELTIC, THE QUEBE SISTERS, THE SONS AND BROTHERS, JON CHANDLER & THE WICHITONES, top western artist JUNI FISHER, and BRENN HILL, plus cowboy poetry (the event use to be the Santa Clarita Cowboy Poetry Festival), with cowboy poet and humorist ANDY NELSON as performer and emcee, and multi-award winning poet YVONNE HOLLENBECK, and meany others, plus a Youth Poetry Round-Up, and individual poetry and trick roping workshops. Ancillary events are taking shape for the 2010 Cowboy Festival, through the week preceding the weekend. More is added as things develop, at www.cowboyfestival.org.
It’s a chance to “step back to a simpler time of chaps, saddles and old-time saloons.” This year’s festival will include a mix of new attractions and returning favorites, including dutch oven peach cobbler, trick ropers, authentic gear and a first-rate musical lineup.
Festival guests can see some of the Cowboy Festival’s most beloved returning performers.
In addition to returning favorites, others – both cowboy musicians and poets – will make their debut on the Melody Ranch stage. Rusty Richards- a previous 20-year member of the Sons of the Pioneer- will take the stage Saturday morning
Past performing guests on radio’s “Tied to the Tracks” who are playing this year’s festival include COW BOP, one of the West’s most popular swinging jazz and western bands; Grammy nominee DON EDWARDS; JUNI FISHER - one of the nation’s top Western Music performers; and awards champs DAVE STAMEY, and SONS OF THE SAN JOAQUIN.
How good is the music at the festival? Take just one example: JUNI FISHER’s “Gone For Colorado”, a self penned family history in song, topped Western Music charts, was awarded the Western Music Association’s 2009 “Traditional Album of the Year,” and the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum awarded it their top honor in Western Music, the “Wrangler Award for Most Outstanding Western Album” of 2008.
Festival guests will enjoy a real treat when Canada’s COWBOY CELTIC hits the stage - widely hailed for their beautiful evocation of the Celtic music rooted in the campfires in the Wild West THE QUEBE SISTERS – a whole band of FIVE National Fiddle Champs – return to showcase their blend of western swing and traditional Texas fiddle tunes.
Also featured are THE SONS AND BROTHERS, one of Colorado’s hottest cowboy bands, and JON CHANDLER & THE WICHITONES. The list of performers continues with Utah-based BRENN HILL, who’s been writing his great original Western music since the age of 16.
Cowboy Poetry, for which the festival was originally founded, is ably represented by a full stable of cowboy poets, including poet and humorist ANDY NELSON who serves as performer and emcee on Sun, Apr 25, and YVONNE HOLLENBECK, one of the most published cowgirl poets in the West, who showcases her multi-award winning poetry.

7 pm PHIL CHRISTIE plus SEVERIN BROWNE & MICHAEL VALENTINE at the venue named in FolkWorks as L.A.’s best intimate acoustic listening room venue - The Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N Lake Av, Altadena; reservations 626-794-2424; venue phone 626-398-7917; info www.coffeegallery.com.
Phil, ho has done a live performance-interview on radio’s “Tied to the Tracks,” tells us, “Well it's time for our annual return to the Coffee Gallery Backstage and I'm thrilled to be sharing the bill this time with my good friends Severin Browne & Michael Valentine. I'm planning a set of songs - not surprisingly - that focus upon family and parenthood. We've got some great surprises planned so we hope to see you there.” Since he plays here only once a year, here’s some extensive info on Phil Christie:
“Phil Christie's Rearview Mirror is a collection of some of the most well crafted songs this writer has heard since the heydey of the Brill building.” - B. Noel Barr, Random Lengths, Sep 8, 2008.
It's not often you hear a voice as strong as Phil Christie's. Though he keeps it well leashed, the potency and muscularity reverberate in every verse he sings. Another of those highly talented Canadians, he took very broad inspiration from fellow countryman Gordon Lightfoot. Christie's compositions keep more to the distinctiveness of a Lightfoot or Bruce Cockburn. There's just something of the forest and brisk winter in the way a good deal of the Canadian folkies compose.
“Every cut of this CD is solid radio material. Either Christie or Steve Sheehan is playing a perpetually chord-picked axe, I'm not sure which, but it's like a rainbow running through most of the cuts. I'm certain, though, that Rearview Mirror doesn't represent the singer at his zenith; that's yet to come. You have to hear his voice to understand. Christie has the presence and sturdiness of an opera singer, but that's not his gig. I don't know what would be, but when he hits the mode that will take the full measure of his prowess, a cyclone will cut through the charts.” - Mark S. Tucker, Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange, Aug 14, 2008.
Canadian Singer-Songwriter Phil Christie shines with his song ‘Rearview Mirror,’ with beautiful lyrical imagery and Contemporary Folk production and songwriting. Fans of David Wilcox and Gordon Lightfoot will appreciate his music. This artist is one to watch RATING: ***** (5 out of 5 Stars) - International Acoustic Music Awards, July 30, 2008.
”Back in the heydays of James Taylor and Jackson Browne, there were second tier singer/songwriters that a lot of people liked more that were highly influential and very talented but just didn't have that something that put them over the top. Christie is in the mold of those musical soldiers that felt more like a pal than an unreachable star, who didn't drop the hits but left you with something more lasting. Think comparing Fred Neil to James Taylor. With some highly talented pals that know the ropes bringing home the sound, Christie's tales of every day life are sure to ring a bell when you are looking for some meaty songwriting you can get into. It may not be vintage Dylan, but there's nothing wrong with vintage John Batdorf.” - Chris Spector, Midwest Record, July 13, 2008.
”Folk guitars travel over the highways. ‘Midnight moon on a night, muddy, black as coal, trail of dust and a heavy load. Everything I once held dear in my rearview mirror.’ A familiar lonely tale, but told with new poetry. Desert wind blows a tumbleweed up on the rise? evokes one feeling and a moment later ‘sunlight around her like a prayer’ digs deeper into another feeling, a memory of my life lived, perhaps a bit callously. I'm sure some of my past would yell at me - you weren't looking, you were very callous. Ah. Takes good music to pull out confessions from a hard-hearted man. And Phil obliges with much good music. Shoutout tunes are the beautiful ‘Random Acts Of Kindness,’ a tale of the small flowers I let slide through my fingers, and ‘Me & My Guitar,’ a song that many people write but few succeed at. Phil succeeded. Three chords and a simply melody opened up my heart and set me free. Thanks for stirring my soul! - eartaste.com, June 3, 2008.
”If you like your music richly mellow, flavored just right with equal doses of Americana and Folk, then Phil Christie, a Neil Diamond similar-sounder, is worth a listen. Blessed with a smooth, easy and clear tone, this Canadian is out with his latest, Rearview Mirror. On an album filled with anchored emotion, Christie is the guy you play at night, late at night, when the candle flickers and the wine is working, when thoughts run and race -- when music does its best work. The multi-talented Christie - he draws major duty by producing, playing and writing here - has pulled together an album that's not going to appeal to the hats and buckle crowd; rather, if you lean towards middle-of-the-road country that's easy and melodic to the ear, this is for you.” - George Peden, countrystarsonline.com, June 17, 2008.

Series presenters Nick & Rex tell us, “Priscilla Herdman burst onto the national music scene way back in 1977 with her album, ‘The Water Lilly.’ Because it included seven songs with words by Australian poet Henry Lawson, many of us thought initially that she herself, was Austrailian, though she is an American who grew up in New York state. She is only an occasional songwriter, but in the intervening years, she has released an album on an average of every third year, and she has proven herself to be an extraordinary selector of songs. These songs range from well-known songwriters, such as John McCutcheon, Stan Rogers, and Utah Phillips, but more often are from lesser-known writers, such as Bill Staines and Connie Kaldor. She has made us aware of many fine performers by including obscure, but priceless songs on her CDs and in her repertoire. Priscilla is an exceptional singer. She has a pure, beautiful voice and sings with conviction to her material that is striking. Opportunities to hear her on the West Coast are rare, and we are extremely proud that she chooses to perform at Caltech on her rare tours here.” Tix $15 for adults, $5 for Caltech students or children.

This year's tellers include emcee Ed Stivender, Nancy Donoval, Angela Lloyd, Willy Claflin, David Gonzales, Samite of Uganda, Hobey Ford, Motoko of Japan.
“The Ojai Storytelling Festival was an eye-opening experience. I had no idea that there were so many talented people who could thoroughly captivate an audience. The festival had to be experienced to be believed. A friend could rave to you about how entertaining the event was, but the actually experience can't be conveyed. It's like trying to describe the smell of a flower.” - Mike Millan.

Laurie is one of the finest singers and songwriters around, and Tom is equally talented and essentially shares the top billing in this dream show for us. Laurie is one of those few people who not only embodies the highest talents of bluegrass and folk greats like Bill Monroe, but she forges ahead and continues to shape the bluegrass world and achieve new heights. Along with her singing and songwriting talents, Laurie is a fine fiddle player and guitarist. She's won a Grammy and has twice been named Female Vocalist of the Year by the IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association). IBMA executive director Dan Hays said, ‘Laurie is one of the pre-eminent bluegrass and Americana artists of our time. She spreads her talent over several genres – bluegrass, folk, country – and with the recognition she has within all those fields, I would certainly say she's one of the top five female artists of the last 30 years. And she continues to make great music.’"
They continue, “TOM ROZUM has been performing with Laurie Lewis for 23 years or so. He is an exceptional mandolin and guitar player, and his vocals, both lead and harmony with Laurie, are outstanding. He has a strong interest in old time and swing music, and whether he's singing harmony on "Texas Bluebonnets" or lead on "Without My Walking Stick," the result is magnificent. Tom and Laurie are a delight to watch and listen to. Don't miss this chance to hear them up-close and personal.” More at www.laurielewis.com and www.tomrozum.com.

Jun 17-20, in Colorado; a “SHOW-OF-THE-WEEK” pick:
37th Annual “TELLURIDE BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL” in Telluride, Colorado, is quite simply one of the best acoustic music festivals in the world. This year’s lineup includes SAM BUSH BAND, YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND, BÉLA FLECK with ZAKIR HUSSAIN & EDGAR MEYER, THE DEL McCOURY BAND, HOT RIZE, PUNCH BROTHERS featuring CHRIS THILE, LEFTOVER SALMON, TIM O'BRIEN BAND, JERRY DOUGLAS, PETER ROWAN, CAROLINA CHOCOLATE DROPS, JOHN COWAN BAND, IMELDA MAY, CADILLAC SKY, MUMFORD & SONS, THE DREPUNG MONKS, SARAH JAROSZ, THE HILLBENDERS, JOSH RITTER BAND, EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS, the always anticipated TELLURIDE HOUSE BAND featuring SAM BUSH, BÉLA FLECK, JERRY DOUGLAS, EDGAR MEYER, BRYAN SUTTON & STUART DUNCAN, plus plenty more sets day and night by many other acoustic artists who bring music within and well beyond the bluegrass genre. Much more info and links at www.bluegrass.com/telluride. Camping, especially for the closest campgrounds, and the full four-day passes always go quickly; campground spaces and festival tix are now on sale, at 800-624-2422 or http://shop.bluegrass.com.
The festival coincides with the Summer Solstice; the longest day of the year and the beginning of summer. It's a magical time of sun and light, when the high country of Colorado puts away its skis and grabs hiking boots, kayaks, and a low-back festival chair to take in bluegrass and other acoustic music that’s arguably related, but always wonderful.
This year’s lineup provides another magical four days of only-in-Telluride performances by beloved festival veterans and inspiring new talent. Telluride royalty includes virtuosic bluegrass superpickers, soulful songwriters, and some of the biggest stars in the rootsy Americana landscape.
The festival is built around the many artists that have defined the Telluride Bluegrass sound. The weekend is sprinkled with inspired sets from Peter Rowan, John Cowan, Sam Bush Band, Béla Fleck (performing in a trio with Indian tabla master Zakir Hussain and bassist Edgar Meyer), and many others, culminating in the epic festival closing set from the Telluride House Band (Sam Bush, Béla Fleck, Jerry Douglas, Edgar Meyer, Bryan Sutton, Stuart Duncan).
Del McCoury returns to Telluride to celebrate his 50th year in the music industry. Yonder Mountain String Band celebrates their 11th year; Leftover Salmon celebrates their 20th year as a band - a band that formed in the Town Park campground jams of Telluride Bluegrass. Punch Brothers featuring Chris Thile follow-up last year's "Punch Brothers Play & Sing Bluegrass" with a new set of original music.
Since its very beginning, the festival has embraced a wide swath of roots music to create the unique genre of "Telluride Bluegrass." This year's lineup welcomes Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Dublin's rockabilly superstar Imelda May, London arena-folk quartet Mumford & Sons, and much more.
The festival is just above the town of Telluride, nestled in the rugged San Juan Mountains at nearly 9,000 feet above the sea, and surrounded on three sides by the natural architecture of the Telluride Box Canyon, Telluride is arguably the most spectacular town in the American West.
For regulars, who call themselves “festivarians,” Telluride is The Bluegrass Festival. Regulars here include a loyal following of artists, as well. Some cite the “unique thrill” that comes from “performing in front of the smartest, most attentive audience in the country,” as the festival site says. Promoters assert, “Artists are encouraged to take risks in Telluride, and the Festivarian audience [which has its own website] is regularly rewarded with unique blends of voices sharing the stage for the first time - as a new musical friendship cultivated backstage makes its debut on the Telluride stage.”
Your editor has been there, and all that is true. Telluride lives up to its hype. In fact, it exceeds it.
With music on the main stage all day, intimate workshops on the Elks Park stage in the middle of town, prestigious band and songwriting contests, late-night Nightgrass concerts at every indoor venue in town, and jam sessions throughout the night in the town’s condos and in the campgrounds near and far (connected by festival bus service), it’s a week of uncommon musical riches.

It’s been named in FolkWorks among the best acoustic music festivals in Southern California. And it’s always a tough choice whether to go to the Huck Finn Jubilee or the Live Oak Music Festival, or split the weekend and go to both.
The Jubilee includes the “Deering Banjo National Championships.” It’s been featured on TV’s "A World of Festivals" (www.festivals.com/wof). Newsweek named it "One of Eight Great American Festivals,"and it won the IBMA's 2001 "Bluegrass Event of the Year."
This year’s acts include RHONDA VINCENT AND THE RAGE, MICHAEL CLEVELAND & FLAMEKEEPER, RUSSELL MOORE & IIIRD TYME OUT, MARK TWAIN LIVE, and plenty more.

The Live Oak Music Festival is a three-day concert and camping event held every year on Father’s Day weekend in the hills above Santa Barbara, California. 100% of Live Oak proceeds go to support KCBX Public Radio (www.kcbx.org) an enviably good station (especially for everyone in L.A., where its signal doesn’t reach). KCBX serves a broadcast area of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties.
The event’s self-promo is quite accurate: “Live Oak, as it has become affectionately known, is more than just a music festival — it is an experience rooted in music and community. These two elements together create a three-day journey into a timeless place that is far removed from ties and clocks, suits and schedules. The festival features an aural collage of live music ranging from traditional, folk, bluegrass and gospel, to blues, jazz, classical and world music. Nestled in the oak trees of the quiet Santa Ynez Valley, Live Oak comes alive as an outdoor music festival showcasing some of the finest musicians from around the world. The camping experience at Live Oak creates a community of several thousand friendly people that are all doing the same thing — relaxing and having fun in the warm sunshine of June.”

Annual “ROCKYGRASS ACADEMY” on the 14-acre Planet Bluegrass Ranch in Lyons, CO; www.bluegrass.com/rga. Check for open classes at http://shop.bluegrass.com or 800-624-2422.
For a week each year before the ROCKYGRASS festival begins, Planet Bluegrass offers their academy, with everything from small classes taught by world-class professional musicians, to sessions on group jamming, vocal coaching, songwriting, one-on-one instruction, and more. The curriculum features a broad variety of electives including learning fiddle tunes, practice techniques, writing instrumentals, accompaniment, improvisation, and musical history. Evenings feature band scrambles, barbecues, and plenty of jamming for novice through advanced ability levels. Many Academy students return year after year, creating long-term relationships with budding musicians from all over the world.
Instrument Classes are taught by RockyGrass Festival performers - world-class bluegrass musicians representing several generations of the music's history and future. These talented musicians spend the week teaching instrument classes, leading jams, and sharing their wealth of musical experience. Typically, these include three levels of instrument instruction for guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and bass, as well as classes in banjo (Scruggs-style and clawhammer) and dobro.
Vocal, Songwriting & Traditional Dance Classes are separate course tracks. And there’s a Kids Camp for children (ages 7-14) of registered Academy students, taught by the award-winning Bearfoot, the bluegrass band from Alaska, now in their seventh year of teaching.
The academy offers a popular “Instrument Building Experience” where a few lucky participants have the chance to walk away with a hand-built instrument in just four days. All the instrument kits allow students to sample a variety of building techniques and materials during the process. Along with the mandolin family of instruments, this year offers two mandolin building graduates the chance to build a travel guitar. For the mandos, no building experience is required, just a good attitude and focus. The “Experience” has produced over 160 instruments built to date.
Of course, if you go, you’ll surely want to stay for the ROCKYGRASS Festival, on the following three days. (See the Guide’s Jul 23-25 listing.)

Family Transport to Heathrow Airport- Tube or Minicab?
Totally Airports Airports, London heathrow airport, heathrow minicab, heathrow tube or minicab, london airport minicabs
London Heathrow is one of the world’s greatest airports. It serves destinations across the world and lies at a distance of approximately 15 miles to the west of Central London. It acts as the chief operating hub for British Airways and its partner airlines.
The airport has numerous facilities for the convenience of passengers. Passenger movements into this airport are constantly on the rise. Business travellers visit London all around the year, while summer months are generally preferred for family trips.
Heathrow is well connected by different modes of transport
London Buses:
The National Express operates hourly services from Heathrow to Victoria station, for a journey time of 35 minutes. Services are also for transfers at night.
London Underground/Tube:
Heathrow terminals 4 and 5 have separate underground stations, while terminals 2 and 3 share one station. The service is by means of Piccadilly Line, which operates between 5:00 to 23:45 hours.
Heathrow Connect:
Heathrow connect bound for Paddington station departs every 30 minutes for an approximate journey time of 25 minutes. Prepaid Oyster cards are valid up to Hayes and Harlington.
Heathrow Express:
Heathrow express also operates nonstop services only up to Paddington station at a frequency of every fifteen minutes. The trains are equipped with all modern facilities like baggage space and wireless internet.
Services from majority of the public transport systems either commence or conclude in Central London. Passengers destined for areas beyond Central London are thus required to switch between same or different modes. Also absence of tube services at night also proves an obstacle in most cases.
Furthermore family transfers to and from airports, involving luggage, kids and multiple members can get challenging. These instances are addressed by comfortable London airport minicabs. Available right outside the airport terminals, they can also be pre booked to save time in long waiting queues. The carriers are available based on passenger numbers, thus large group friendly. They feature ample room for luggage and also come with additional child/infant seats at nominal additional costs. Besides door step pickup and drop off, passengers are also eligible for free vehicle upgrades, subject to availability. A dedicated help desk team is at constant service with free flight monitoring and suitable rescheduling of airport bound journeys.

Just Show Up To The Big Dance
Yesterday, I hit the wall for coverage on the next signature of "The 66 Kid." I thought I had enough info and photographs to cover the section on my Little League career, but when it came time to do the layouts, I realized I was sorely mistaken. What to do?
Ray "Buns" Bonham of Flagstaff showed up at the True West World Headquarters this morning with a suitcase full of all the missing Little League photos and newsclippings. In addition to being my Kingman All Stars teammate, Ray has it all, including the actual Northern Arizona Little League Tournament program:
So, looking through his clippings I was able to patch this storyline together for the book:
The Northern Arizona Little League Championship In Flagstaff (1959)
When I was 11, and an all star alternate, I didn't play one single inning. I hated riding the bench. In my last year of eligibility I was determined to give my last year everything I had to not only make the team but to play as well as I could. I had a very good coach, Frank Esquibel, who taught me the finer points of drag bunting and when the All Star practices began he coached me on how to get an extra step towards first base.
On July 27, 1959, we traveled to the big city—Flagstaff—by car caravan. I rode with Ray Bonham, Chuck Petkovitch and our driver was hitting coach, "Jonesy," who worked the bug detail at the inspection station on north 93. We landed at the biggest and best hotel in Flagstaff, The Weatherford. I had never stayed in a hotel before. When we got to our room on the second floor, Jonsey told Ray and I we could use anything he had but we weren't allowed to use his toothbrush. Although I made a mental note about this, I think he was joshing. Jonsey also had little pebbles he would carry and he would give them to certain players to put in their back pockets to help them play better. Alan Tapija had a great tournament and he had Jonsey's little pebble in his left-back-pocket for every game.
We weren't in the hotel for very long before Chuck Petkovich and another kid from our group threw a water balloon out the second story window, right outside our room, drenching a man and woman going to a business meeting. They were wearing business attire and were not happy. The hotel staff responded quickly and kicked everyone from Kingman out on the street. We ended up at a flea bag hotel on Route 66 just east of San Francisco.
Things went better on the playing field. In our first game, we defeated Holbrook 7 to 3 Tuesday afternoon. Skip Davis started as pitcher for Kingman but was relieved by Wendell Havatone in the second inning. According to the Mohave Miner, Skip's arm "tightened up in the mile-high dampness and he was removed to prevent injury coaches said." The Miner also reported, the "game started at 2 p.m. but was called after two and one-half innings of play at 2:50 p.m. because of rain. Play resumed at 4:40 p.m." Wendell Havatone had two hits with Robert Bell, Ray Bonham, Paul Torres and Heber Nelson each getting one apiece."
We advanced to play Page. Ray Bonham was the pitcher going the distance, striking out 10 and giving up one walk. Quoting the Miner again: "Kingman jumped off to a two run lead in the first inning when Allen Tapija bunted and was safe. Robert Bell bunted and was safe on a fielder's choice, and Leroy Bender walked."
"Tapija and Bell scored on pass balls before the side was retired."
"In the big fourth inning, Skip Davis walked and Stephen McLendon was safe on an infield error. Then Tapija walked to load the bases. Robert Bell singled sharply to right scoring Davis. . .Havatone then singled to score Tapija and Bell."
I have never been so successful on any playing surface in my lifetime and no newspaper reporting in my lifetime has ever mentioned me so prominently, or so successful on the field of dreams. According to one of my coaches, Floyd Cisney, I was the team's leading hitter at the tourney, batting 670. True, I achieved this mostly by bunting and being fast, but still, I'll take it. This was truly the top of the roller coaster for my sports career. We beat Winslow in the final and the game was broadcast live on KAAA to the folks back home. We weren't told about the broadcast to keep our nerves down, which was probably a good idea.
When we got home the team's leading players were asked to show up for the photo op in a vacant lot across from Valley Bank the next day. The select crew, myself included, showed up for our starring moment but there was a slight problem. Leroy Bender showed up with Allen Tapija and, although he was a player on our team, he hadn't been asked to be in the photo. Rather than tell him he couldn't be in the photo, Leroy stepped into the photo and is there for all time, simply because he showed up. That is so Kingman, and I learned another lesson: so you weren't invited to the big dance?
"Just show up at the dance and you'll be surprised how often you get asked to dance."

'Disappearance at Clifton Hill' Is a Compellingly Weird Tribute to One of Canada's Biggest Landmarks Directed by Albert Shin
Starring Tuppence Middleton, Hannah Gross, David Cronenberg
By Matt Bobkin
Niagara Falls occupies a particular space in the minds of Canadians, a site of natural wonder and urban decay. Director Albert Shin goes heavy on the latter in Disappearance at Clifton Hill, which sets the crumbling facades of the human condition amidst the similarly crumbling facades of Niagara Falls. Starting out as a full-blown caper, Disappearance at Clifton Hill gradually descends into a murky character study about the impacts of grief.
The film stars Sense8's Tuppence Middleton as Abby, a young woman who returns to her Niagara Falls hometown after the death of her mother. Ostensibly there to prevent the sale of her mom's beloved — albeit decrepit — motel, Abby's ulterior motive is to explore a purported kidnapping she witnessed as a child. The film questions her reliability and lucidity with a series of subtle clues and improbable coincidences, and Shin's strong directorial style strikes a balance between maintaining a level of uncertainty and advancing the film forward.
Clifton Hill explores the small-world dynamics of dying towns, and the lengths families will go to to maintain their legacies, no matter how local. While Middleton's mainstream, Hollywood-ready sensibility provides an accessible anchor, it's the supporting cast of townies that gives the film its comedic edge, including Marie-Josée Croze and Paulino Nunes as a pair of low-rent magicians and iconic filmmaker David Cronenberg as an eccentric podcaster, a hilarious reminder that he's as capable in front of the camera as he is behind it.
The film falters, however, when it actively works to undermine Abby's credibility — with no anchor to tether itself to, the film risks coming too far off the rails. Abby's links to reality — her straight-laced sister Laure (Hannah Gross) and Laure's affable husband Marcus (Noah Reid) — are too one-dimensional to provide a compelling balance to her increasingly manic detachment from the world around her.
But, like its namesake neighbourhood, there is an underlying charm beneath Disappearance at Clifton Hill that aims to keep things in enough working order to bring home the ending. While a perplexing watch, it eventually picks itself together for an engaging final act that drives forward logically and clearly without sacrificing its off-kilter sensibility.

Lady Gaga's 'Chromatica' Tracklist Has Leaked
Elton John, Ariana Grande and BLACKPINK contribute
By Calum Slingerland
Lady Gaga was set to release new album Chromatica this month, but like a number of artists, ultimately decided to delay its release due to COVID-19. Now, the effort's tracklisting has surfaced online.
Today, some keen-eyed Little Monsters happened upon a Target pre-order page that featured the album's artwork, complete with a hype sticker listing all 16 album tracks and a trio of Target exclusives. While the graphic has since been removed from the retailer's website, you can find it archived below.
As the sticker shows, Chromatica features collaborations with Elton John, Ariana Grande and K-pop outfit BLACKPINK. Alongside previously shared single "Stupid Love," the album also includes a series of three songs that share its title.
UPDATE (5/6, 12:20 p.m. ET): Chromatica will now be out on May 29 via Interscope after being delayed from its original April 10 release date.
Earlier this month, Lady Gaga had shared Chromatica's album art and physical release designs on Instagram, with the hype sticker tracklists blurred out. She has yet to set a new release date for the album.
Last weekend, Gaga curated COVID-19 relief concert "One World: Together at Home," which featured Paul McCartney, Lizzo, Billie Joe Armstrong, Eddie Vedder and more. She also recently announced plans to release a new book this September.
One World: Together at Home has also been released a sprawling 79-track album, which you can stream below. All streaming revenue from the compilation will also be donated to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

1. Chromatica I
2. Alice
3. Stupid Love
4. Rain On Me (ft. Ariana Grande)
5. Free Woman
6. Fun Tonight
7. Chromatica II

It wasn’t as good as the first time.
This was hardly a surprise, and indeed both of us had known it was going to fall far below even our meagre expectations, but it was still an unpleasant thing to experience.
The whole enterprise had been doomed from the start. Some wishy-washy, over-thought attempt to recapture a spark that had long since left the stable (to mix imagery). We both had strong feelings regarding the beach, and that particular stretch of it especially. Thinking about it still made both of us happy. Given that happiness these days was somewhat thin on the ground, this made the thought precious. It was subject to diminishing returns however, and as the time between then and now grew the power of the memory to make us smile got thinner and thinner.
This was bad. The world was a dark and dreary place now, especially compared to how carefree and full of possibility it had been then. Even the filmiest means of obtaining a shred of joy was worth bending over backwards for. So that was what we planned to do. We would go back to that stretch of beach and we would recreate everything we had done, so as to refresh the memory and stave off the ever-encroaching bleakness.
Planning was the first mistake. Originally, the excursion to the beach had been spur of the moment. We’d been nearby (though neither of us could now remember why) and having nothing better to do we had run off to be fools in the surf. The spontaneity had been a key aspect of the whole thing. Removing it hobbled it before it even got started, and we both knew it. Going through the motions of what we had done the first time with none of the thought or feeling that had been involved in the WHY of what we’d done was hollow.
None of this helped by the fact the beach itself was never going to be like it had been back then, either. The bleakness and gloom that suffused the world was not purely metaphorical and had many tangible, physical aspects to it. The water had been cold before – as we’d experienced, squealing as we splashed one another with it – but now it was both freezing and highly caustic. Hence the wellingtons. The sand too was rougher and had more malice in it. A pinch of the stuff had managed to sneak into my boot and the flesh had worn raw very quickly indeed. I’d pretended it was fine and plastered a smile onto my face to match hers, but it had been quite significantly painful.
Collapse was inevitable. Her efforts were admirable and she really did put in far more effort than I did, but she did eventually have to admit that it had been doomed. The look on her face would have broken my heart, had it remained capable of such a thing. Environmental conditions had hardened it, both figuratively and literally. That was why it was sat in a jar some distance away, the gap in my chest instead occupied with something more mechanical and more efficient.
I think the mounting grimness in the world had got to me far quicker than it had got to her. The downcast look on her face was so potent because underneath it was still the faintest – though dying – glimmer of hope. If not hope that our little beach re-creation would be successful then at least hope that tomorrow might be just that little bit better. I had no such illusions, to the point where I considered them illusions by default. I tried to smile, but it just made her look unhappier.
This wouldn’t do. She’d even gone to the trouble (and danger) of finding the same dress she’d had that day. She looked much as she had done that day, in fact, which is to say achingly beautiful. And there I was, a hunk of so much dour gristle. Even if I thought that the tiny flicker of yearning that still hid somewhere inside her was a silly thing, that didn’t really give me the right to dampen it by hanging around being so damn depressing. It wasn’t fair on her.
I managed a proper smile as I reached a decision. Stepping up I put a hand to her cheek and planted a kiss on her forehead before striding off into the waves. She cried out and made to stop me, but I was already too deep and with the dress and the looseness of her wellies she was unable to pursue without sustaining horrendous burns. I was sustaining horrendous burns, but I wasn’t too fussed. It would be over soon.
And who knows. Tomorrow might turn out better after all. For her, at least.

The Various Lives of Infinite Nullity, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
Author: Everything Theatre in Off West End, Reviews 10 October 2013 0 249 Views
Clout Theatre
Directed by Mine Cerc
Pros: The excellent physical performances from the Lecoq-trained ensemble are extremely polished and highly skilled.
Cons: Falling in the genre of performance art, it will not be to everyone’s taste and the theme was rehashed again and again, without exploring new ideas.
Our Verdict: Great performances can’t save this repetitive, one-note performance art production.
Courtesy of Battersea Arts Centre
For 45 minutes, three dead people share an excerpt of their purgatorial existence with us. Using physical theatre, clowning, sound and moments of truly inexplicable performance, we see the dark absurdity of death. It is not just any type of death, either. These three characters all committed suicide, though we do not find this out until about ten minutes into the performance. In a parody of a support group, they sip tea and share their reasons why they decided to shuffle off this mortal coil and list the things they can’t do now that they’re dead.
For the first section of the show, we see three messy, white-faced, childlike clowns gleefully exploring the messiness of a bloody death, but they soon reveal their adult selves. Fake blood abounds, particularly at the end of the show, so this isn’t for the faint-hearted audience member. Using a non-linear structure, what we really see is a collage of moments where these characters (who are not named and no programme was provided) pass the time. Diversions include drinking tea, killing themselves, killing each other and re-enacting a burial. There are extensive, detailed movement sequences and creative use of sound, such as the clatter of teacups against their saucers.
The whole performance was mostly consistent in addressing the theme of absurdity in death and I took a rather existential view from it. No action has any lasting effect in this world. The director often uses repetition and grotesque actions that have no effect on the characters to get the point across, but I did not find any particularly deep exploration of the idea.
Despite the near-consistent addressing of the theme, I found one scene utterly jarring and unconnected to the performance and the images from it are the most pervasive in my memory. One of the women came onstage with a zebra mask, no top, high heels and a tight skirt and repeatedly solicited the male performer for coins. After several successes, the other female actor came onstage wearing a lion mask. She placed an aluminium stepladder over the man, climbed up it whilst he writhed sensually, and urinated over his head. I only hope it wasn’t a genuine act, though it looked incredibly realistic. There seemed no connection to death or suicide whatsoever. Absurdity and objectification, yes, but it made little sense to the overall context of the piece.
Visually, the performance was incredibly striking and their characterisations were made whole by the actors’ physical work. The stage design was simple, a few plastic drop cloths covered the floor and provided a translucent backdrop that they exploited fully. Forty-five minutes was just the right length for such a piece, though I would have liked to see a deeper exploration into the effect of the deaths on the adult characters rather than the nearly constant childish play-acting at death. Comparing it to other experiences of performance art this was a good example that was well-planned using highly skilled performers, but followed one note for the whole show.

Pacific Region –
Caribbean Region –
West Africa –
IMPACT is a cross-cutting, multi-faceted project that aims to strengthen the connections between the scientific assessments of climate impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to help enable access to finance and help implement concrete projects in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Least Developed Countries (LDCs). The project is implemented in three focus regions –the Pacific, West Africa and the Caribbean.
Due to the diverse and unique conditions of SIDS and LDCs, climate change poses an existential threat to many of these countries and undermines sustainable development prospects for most. These countries often lack capacity to develop and implement science-based strategies for climate adaptation and mitigation, to access climate finance and to fully represent their interests at the international level. But they have a vital interest in being able to ensure an ambitious and 1.5°C limit-compatible implementation of the Paris Agreement in the period to 2020. The tools and methods of this project are co-developed with the partner organisations to follow regional requirements, ensure ownership and the establishment of long-term application capacities. Integration into the larger framework is ensuring comparability as well as transferability of results between regions.
The project aims to build sustainable capacity in partner regions in these dimensions:
Climate Finance and Implementation
This aspect of the project supports regional implementation, enhances long-term sustainable access to international climate finance and strengthens capacities of national and regional entities through co-development of institutional processes and plans, strategic stakeholder engagement, and regular regional training workshops throughout the project duration.
IMPACT assists with revising 2020 NDCs & analyses transformational pathways, including emissions ambition requirements in line with the 1.5°C goal in the Paris Agreement, to inform implementation, climate finance investments, and adaptation needs.
Through IMPACT, scientific outputs and knowledge products are co-developed with relevant actors to make use of them in the development and implementation of transformational climate adaptation and mitigation strategies.
IMPACT diplomacy is aimed at enhancing SIDS and LDCs negotiators’ participation in the international climate negotiations (UNFCCC) by building on the expertise, networks and trust established through the highly successful SURVIVE and High Level Support Mechanism projects.
IMPACT is funded by the German Ministry of Environment as part of its International Climate Initiative, and is implemented by with partner institutions in the focus regions: Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre, Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, Charles & Associates Inc (Grenada), Le Comité Permanent Inter-Etats de Lutte contre la Sécheresse dans le Sahel, West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use, as well as Potsdam Institute for Climate Impacts Research.
2020 NDC Revision
IMPACT assists with the enhancement of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to increase ambition and fast-track implementation within the NDC Partnership. Climate Analytics is part of the NDC Support Cluster, established by the German Ministry of Environment as part of its International Climate Initiative, which aims to promote coordinated consultations and maximise synergies in the partner countries.
In an analysis prepared for the NDC Partnership our experts looked into the recent developments in terms of NDCs submission and renewables deployment. They also outlined a number of instruments that can be utilised to decrease the gap between current emissions trends and the Paris Agreement compatible emissions pathways.
Country Request Mechanism
One of the unique features that allows IMPACT to deliver tailored policy, technical and scientific support in the focus regions is the ‘country support request mechanism,’ developed with partner countries during the inception phase of the project.
This is how the mechanism works: the requesting body – which can be a regional organisation or a national government department, for example – contacts one of our regional partners (SPREP in the Pacific, CCCCC in the Caribbean and Climate Analytics Lomé in West Africa), specifying its climate-related needs. Our regional scientists then work with the requesting body and regional partners to develop the best approach to deliver this support. Since the implementation of the mechanism in 2017, IMPACT has responded to more than 20 requests.
Climate Tools
Open access, user-friendly, and interactive tools making climate projections easily available to policy makers and researchers for agriculture, energy, and human health.
Adaptation Map for West Africa and Caribbean
Costs of Inaction
Other tools developed under IMPACT and other Climate Analytics projects: RegioCrop, Local Sea Level Rise (Local SLR), RegioClim (developed under the PAS-PNA project)
The full list of Climate Analytics tools
Guidance for SIDS and LDCs on accessing climate finance
Under the IMPACT project, Climate Analytics aims to support SIDS (Small Island Developing States) and LDCs (Least Developed Countries) in accessing international climate finance. Feedback from the regions we support identified a lack of guidance and knowledge products on accessing international climate finance specifically tailored for SIDS and LDCs. These three briefings aim to provide targeted guidance to SIDS and LDCs on how to go about developing a GCF proposal, enhancing the Climate Rationale in GCF proposals and key elements to include when developing a proposal.
Elements of a Strong GCF Proposal
Addressing the GCF Investment Criteria
Enhancing the Climate Rationale for GCF Proposals
New climate tools and training
Climate Analytics has produced new climate tools as part of IMPACT. These include a map providing an overview of adaptation actions that have been taken by 11 countries in West Africa and the Member States of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) since 2010; and another showing the additional economic damages – the costs of inaction – that Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Least Developed Countries (LDCs) face in a 3°C world compared with 1.5°C, the limit set out in the Paris Agreement.
Other tools developed under IMPACT and other Climate Analytics project: RegioCrop, Local Sea Level Rise (Local SLR), RegioClim (developed under the PAS-PNA project)
In September 2019, Climate Analytics hosted two webinars giving participants hands-on experience with the tools. The webinars took place in English and French and covered: RegioCrop, Local Sea Level Rise (Local SLR), RegioClim (developed under PAS-PNA project), Costs of Inaction; Adaptation Map
Video recordings of the training webinars in English and French
Climate Week NYC
As part of the IMPACT project, we are organising two events during Climate Week NYC 2020, an annual event hosted by the Climate Group in association with the United Nations and the City of New York. Taking place between 21-27 September, it will be the largest climate summit taking place in 2020. Our events include ‘Climate action: If not now, then when?’, a webinar hosted by our Climate Policy Team on 24 September at 14:00 – 15:30 (CET) / 08:00 – 09:30 (EDT), and ‘The long and short of it: Interlinkages between NDCs and Mid-century decarbonisation strategies’, organised by the Implementation Strategies Team on 23 September at 15:00 – 16:00 (CET) / 09:00 – 11:00 (EDT).

- The long and short of it: Interlinkages between NDCs and mid-century decarbonisation strategies
COVID-19 another shock for vulnerable countries facing multiple crises
The coronavirus pandemic adds yet another shock to the multiple challenges that more than a billion people living in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) already face in day-to-day life. It is much more than a health crisis. It has the potential to create devastating health, social, economic and environmental crises that will leave a deep, long-lasting mark. However, it is an opportunity to adopt and implement sustainable solutions during the recovery process, also for LDCs, without losing sight of the climate crisis.
Facing Covid and climate, Pacific island capacity stretched
As the economic impacts of COVID-19 on Pacific Small Island Developing States stretch into 2020, there is a real risk that longer-term strategic action on climate change will take a back seat, and countries struggling to keep up with rising tides risk losing further ground.
Coronavirus underscores small islands’ climate vulnerability
The coronavirus pandemic is a new setback for island states already suffering from climate change and storms such as Cyclone Harold and Hurricane Dorian. They are also preparing for the next season… What are the implications for the efficacy of coronavirus measures as well as for the economic resources available to respond to the pandemic?

A somewhat interesting point:
http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/02/opinion/beale-star-wars/index.html?hpt=hp_t3
I don't exactly share his views, but he does have a point that Star Wars misrepresents Sci-Fi. Though, the author loses a lot of authority for saying The Matrix is "the most original sci-fi movie of the past 25 years". Well Matrix was original, but did this guy never heard of Primer? Moon?
This editorial seems analogous to criticizing Lord of the Rings for misrepresenting historical fiction. It's not like people are somehow tricked into thinking that Star Wars is serious speculation about the future.
Hmm.. that wasn't what I got from it. I read it more as people saw Star Wars and thought Sci Fi was big operas and explosions, when really it's about exploring deep issues of our humanity.
The problem isn't Star Wars misrepresenting sci-fi. The problem is people misclassifying Star Wars as sci-fi. It's fantasy.

Nope, its definitely Science Fiction
"fiction based on imagined future scientific or technological advances and major social or environmental changes, frequently portraying space or time travel and life on other planets."
Just because its not the dark gritty moralistic style of Sci Fi....I like to think of it as High Science Fiction, in the same way people like David Gemmel are High Fantasy

Star Wars features The Force, which is basically magic. They "explain" it later with midichlorians and whatnot, but really, it's still magic. IMO, that puts it squarely outside the realm of science fiction and firmly in the realm of fantasy. It's fantasy in space with some technological trappings, but still fantasy.

Not sure if that is a good argument. Lots of science fiction feature some sort of psyonics. Or sufficiently advanced alien technology (=magic).
Not like I disagree with your final conclusion, though.
Quote from: popsofctown on September 02, 2015, 02:07:20 pm
pacovf has a neopets account. It has 999 hours logged. All his neopets are named "Jessica". I guess that must be his ex.
You could use that to argue that Dune is fantasy, though I consider it pretty Sci Fi. I guess it intersects both.
The Star Wars plot also features far more fantasy tropes than sci-fi tropes.
Call it Science Fantasy if you wish?

Who are you??! George Lucas!?
Sure, but the Force isn't technology.
:_( I have been found out.
No, but seriously there's no reason because a piece of work draws mostly from the ideas of one genre that it can't draw on the tropes of another, they don't have to be considered mutually exclusive.

George Lucas himself said he sees Star Wars as fantasy. The whole A long Time Ago... is supposed to be a nod to fairytales saying Once Upon a Time... Lucas created Star Wars around the idea of the Hero's Journey which is a common motif in myth's.
Anyway, long story short, Star Wars is fantasy with sci fi elements.

Although it's maybe a bit pointless to argue exactly what genre label Star Wars should have, here's some misc evidence from the internet:
IMDB: Action Adventure Fantasy
Google "star wars genre" (dunno where it gets its data from): Fantasy, Adventure Film, Science Fiction, Action Film
Wikipedia: "epic space opera", where "space opera" is defined as "a subgenre of science fiction"
Wookieepedia, "the Star Wars Wiki": "a science fiction franchise"
I'd argue based off this that it's more common to call Star Wars "science fiction" than to say that it isn't.
I don't think that hurts my point at all. I agree that it is more common to call Star Wars "sci-fi", but I'm saying that doing so is inaccurate. The earlier linked article suggests that Star Wars hurts the sci-fi genre by making people think that sci-fi is all about laser gun fights and explosions and big bad villains, whereas the best sci-fi is "essentially about ideas, not action", touching on larger themes of the human condition, and so on and so forth. I'm saying that there isn't even a comparison because Star Wars isn't really sci-fi, even though most people think of it as such. The problem isn't that Star Wars misrepresents the depths of sci-fi, as the article posits, but that people like to classify Star Wars as sci-fi when it shouldn't be.

I think Star Wars is Sci-Fi. I don't think it's only Sci-Fi. And I don't think it's the definition of Sci-Fi. But definately Sci-Fi.
I think it's a matter of definitions. Would "Lord of the rings IN SPACE" be science fiction or fantasy?
Why can't it be both?

Why is playing the violin so hard? – Violin Techniques For Beginners
“It’s just a really tough instrument, and I never really liked it in the beginning— I could be playing it a certain way and the notes were all out of alignment,” Mabry says over a beer at the downtown bar with her father, Joe, a retired city manager for 25 years. “And then finally it dawned on me. If I’m going to use a violin, then I can just use it in a way where I can make it my own, not having to buy a huge bag of strings.”
Mabry studied in the Chicago area while her father was employed there, while her mother stayed in Brooklyn to be with her family.
But the violin wasn’t Mabry’s first instrument. As a girl, she and a few friends would travel to New York City’s Irving Plaza for “Somewhere between a cabaret and a rock concert,” as one friend wrote in an oral history she recorded while making the documentary. When Mabry entered high school, she had already seen her second big move in her life. She’d left a long-time boyfriend for a man who hadn’t seen her play the violin (the boyfriend was a New Yorker, but Mabry was from the East Coast) so he got the idea to teach Mabry to string the instrument herself. Mabry was 14 years old. (She’s now 22.) “We learned from an expert and that wasn’t even hard to do,” Mabry recalls. “I would use a violin and then have someone give me instructions about what to do with my body in order to do that trick.”
Even though she didn’t get an audition for a college show, Mabry got signed to a record label that released “What a Feeling”. It debuted in the top 10 on the Billboard charts. It made her the cover of Harper’s Bazaar and she landed several jobs working with indie labels and on the road— she even wrote a song for a group called Fuzz, who went on to make the 2012 Grammys’ Top Five Albums chart.
When you see the sun rise up and make the morning light shine on the world
And a voice tells me you’re here, you’re home, you’re close
Let the music play in my mind and play with your words
When I think it’s time to go home
You’re the one that puts me there
You were there for me when everything went wrong

Mason Greenwood a better goalscorer than Cristiano Ronaldo
by Grant Boone
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed Mason Greenwood as a "special talent" after the teenager helped Manchester United beat Brighton 3-0 at the Amex Stadium.
Solskjaer started his praise of the teenager by stating "He's played fantastically." before going on further, "He's a special kid and we know that when he gets his face up and looks forward that he's risky, but his hold-up play, general play and link-up play was great. I'd have been proud of that goal".
Greenwood's 13th goal of the season in all competitions was the signal for United to take complete control.
"I don't like talking about City but you think of David Silva at Manchester City - that player [that] links all the play together, and I think we've found him in Fernandes". He's a special talent, a special kid that we are going to look after, try to develop into a top top player.
As Manchester United carried the ball up Brighton & Hove Albion's pitch with the speed of the Royal Air Force and the poise of the Royal Ballet, it was an instinctive urge to think back to two goals from Sir Alex Ferguson's era and smile happily that such breathtaking counter-attacking is once again within the gift of those who wear this shirt.
After the game, Ole also praised his new signing, stating "I knew there was a leader there, a victor and we knew we needed that type of player. Fair play and well done to the club for making the deal happen". "It was a great pass by Nemanja, a great cross from Mason and fantastically finished by Bruno so I'm very, very happy with all the goals".
With a run-in that includes games against Bournemouth, Aston Villa and West Ham, Solskjaer's men could enjoy a memorable conclusion to the campaign as they also chase success in the FA Cup and Europa League. "We defend from the front". A win could see them equal last season's points tally with five matches left to play.

Long before I ever visited Las Vegas, I heard tales of solitaire being offered as a gambling game.
I've never actually seen the game in casinos, and have never quite been sure it really ever was offered. Still, the idea of solitaire as a casino game has persisted in the Las Vegas one-card-at-a-time mode on computer solitaire games.
Now it seems the cards are ready to flip for cash through Solitairus Inc. at its site casinosolitaire.com. Partners Cam Uhren and KC Flynn have their eye on casino distribution as a slot machine or on pads as skill-based gaming becomes more widespread, but for now, those in jurisdictions where online gaming is legal can play for money at the site, while the rest of us can enjoy a little free play.
After the initial seven stacks of cards are dealt, you can choose to deal one card at a time and go once through the remaining deck, or three cards at a time for three times through the deck.
You get a payoff for each card on the four foundation stacks that you begin when you play aces. Casino Solitaire spices up the game with a dual jackpot and with a tournament mode in which you play against other players.
In the tournament mode, entrants each get the same initial shuffle, and the winners are determined both on speed of play and accuracy.
I asked Flynn if the old tales of Las Vegas solitaire played a role in developing Casino Solitaire.
"One of the original partners simply asked the question, 'Why isn't solitaire a slot game?'" Flynn said. "From there, we explored the stories that the game was originally played in Las Vegas at bars. Patrons would buy a deck of cards for $52 and receive $4 for every card they were able to put in the stacks.
"We understood that it was played before gaming became regulated and it was discontinued as regulators wanted to know the house advantage and operators didn't know how to calculate the house advantage. In addition, the game took up a lot of room at the bar and took to long to play."
Calculating the house edge remained a challenge, but the partners were encouraged to press on because of solitaire's popularity. Microsoft first included a solitaire game in Windows 3.0 bundles and later said it was the most-used Windows application. Flynn said there now are more than 2 billion games of solitaire played per day.
"However, discovering and proving the house advantage to regulators proved to be challenge," Flynn said. "After substantial investment in time and resources, we were able to answer the challenge for regulators and we've been granted two U.S. patents along the way."
The rise of skill-based gaming could create an opportunity for the game in casinos.
"In our view, our game offers at least two things to players," Flynn said. "It creates a skill-based opportunity with an old familiar friend. Almost everyone in the Western Hemisphere has played solitaire at one time in their lives.
"It provides a value proposition for players as it delivers time on device for players."
The term "time on device" has been emphasized since the rise of video slots to denote games with frequent paybacks that extend playing time. Game manufacturers try to balance time on device with the chance at big wins.
How long it takes to get from online game to casino game remains to be seen. The popularity of wagering on solitaire online will play a role. But the potential is there to make solitaire a casino game in more than just distant memories.

First Look: iOS 5 Beta 1
Apple, iOS, Review
5, Apple, beta, home screen, iOS, iPad, iPhone, newstand, preview, review
At the beginning of WWDC 2011 yesterday, Apple announced iOS 5 and iCloud, along with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion (again).
Apple claims iOS 5 includes over 200 new features, previewing ten of them yesterday.
Let’s look at a few of these features, as well as a few of the bugs that I hope will be fixed by the next beta release.
Warning: iOS 5 betas supposedly cannot be downgraded to iOS 4.x, particularly on devices that have a baseband (iPhone, and iPad 3G). While I have not tested this, and I have written an article about how to downgrade betas in the past, there is no guarantee that my method will work this time. Download and run the iOS 5 beta at your own risk.
With that in mind, I’ve only upgraded my iPad 2 to the iOS 5 beta. My iPhone remains on iOS 4.3, and as such, this post will only cover iOS 5 as seen on the iPad.
The iOS 5 home screen, as seen on my iPad 2
There are a few things to notice here. First, a new app called Reminders (no, it’s not an App Store app, it’s built-in; I have no need for a to-do list app and would never install one =/). There is also a new app/folder called Newsstand. I’m not entirely sure which one it is, as it appears in the multitasking tray (probably a bug), but it opens like a folder.
My Social folder, containing the new Messages app
In iOS 5, Apple is introducing the new iMessage service. Apple is also adding the Messages app to the iPad and iPod touch in order to allow usage of this service (however, iPads and iPod touches still cannot send regular SMS messages). iMessage is an instant messaging service provided exclusively to users of iOS devices, that gives SMS-like messaging, with the ability to send media, receive read receipts, and see notifications that indicate when the other user is typing. It feels a lot like the old iOS Messages app, while adding a lot of features similar to those found in Windows Live Messenger.
Game Center in iOS 5
In iOS 5, Apple has enhanced Game Center, adding the ability to have an avatar for your profile. Furthermore, they are also adding official support for turn-based games, which will probably bring many promising offerings once iOS 5 is released this fall. Until then, games that leverage this functionality most likely will not appear in the App Store, as Apple does not accept apps written using a beta version of the iOS SDK (much like how Game Center was utterly useless in the iOS 4 betas since no games supported it).
Much like the new functionality in Game Center, there isn’t much to see here either. No apps support the functionality offered by Newsstand yet, and the Store button is disabled. Newsstand is supposed to be a collection of newspaper/magazine apps. It is also supposed to be capable of pushing updated content to these apps. Most likely, there won’t be much to do with this until after the official release either.
A couple of screenshots of the Reminders app
In what I consider to be a questionably stupid move on Apple’s part, iOS 5 now includes a built-in to-do list app called Reminders. Considering something of the sort could exist perfectly fine on the App Store (and, in fact, many things of this sort already do), I’m really wondering why Apple bothered with this one. Nonetheless, you can see a couple of screenshots of it in action above. You set up tasks that the app can remind you about either by time, or, in what may be the one interesting thing about this app, by place. Supposedly, when you’re at a certain location, it can deliver a reminder. Anyway, the first screenshot above shows my list of reminders, and the second shows those tasks which I have completed (even though I just threw that up on the spot, it’s pretty accurate about what I do and don’t get done).
The emoji keyboard on iPad… finally!
As seen above, Apple has finally enabled the emoji keyboard for iPad (well, they’ve enabled the ability for you to enable it). Just go into your keyboard settings, and add the Emoji keyboard like any other. Then annoy your fellow iOS users to death with emoticons.
The split keyboard
While on the topic of the keyboard, Apple has added the ability to split the keyboard in iOS 5. Hold the keyboard dismiss button to access the option to do so. Some people I’ve spoken to love this feature. I, however, find it dismally annoying. It makes me really prone to typos, by both making the buttons smaller, and by putting them in unusual locations. I hate it, and will still be using the regular keyboard, but your mileage may vary. Also of note, you can undock the keyboard to move it up or down the screen as you wish, while keeping both halves attached and the buttons their usual size. This feature may be useful for some, but I will be leaving the keyboard in the tried and true location of the bottom of my screen.
The About menu in General Settings
Okay, there’s a few important things to notice here. First off, the build number of this beta is 9A5220p. Second of all, there’s an option to change the device name… on the device itself. In addition, there is a Diagnostics and Usage menu, which gives you the ability to turn the option to send such data to Apple on or off (something normally done in iTunes).
These next two observations are quite significant. Why would Apple give you the option to do these things on the device itself?
Apple has finally dropped the requirement of having a PC or iTunes. iOS devices are now completely independent. When you open the box of an iOS 5 device, it will no longer greet you with the familiar “Connect to iTunes” screen. It will instead prompt you to set up the device… on the device itself. As pointed out in the keynote, this is the logical conclusion to their theory that we are living in a “post-PC era.” To enhance the independence of the device from iTunes, you may also delete music directly from the device in the Music app. There is also a Usage menu in General Settings that provides an overview of the amount of storage used by a given app, along with the ability to delete a given app outright, or to dump its data (I greatly appreciate this feature; I commonly download videos using Terra Web Browser then have it open them in VLC. VLC can play the videos just fine, but it gives no way of deleting the copy of the video that Terra dumped in its documents folder. And considering some giant douche forced Apple to pull the VLC app, that’ll never be fixed either).
As seen above, Apple has also introduced over-the-air updates in iOS 5. Supposedly it will also be more efficient than the previous update mechanism, as it will only download that which has changed, as opposed to an entire firmware image. It does, however, seem to be somewhat buggy at this point. While I don’t know if it’s even really enabled in this beta, or if it’ll allow you to update between betas, it claims I’m not connected to Wi-fi, even though I am.
As a side note, as much effort as Apple has put into removing the dependency on iTunes, I wonder why they’ve also added Wi-fi syncing with iTunes now.
While I think it’s broken in this build as well (either that or the iTunes 10.5 beta is broken), there is an iTunes Sync option in General Settings that allows you to sync over Wi-fi, although it claims that iTunes is never available to sync to.
Furthering the theory that we are living in a “post-PC world,” Apple has introduced iCloud, their cloud storage service. As seen in the Mail option above, Apple is now giving away @me.com e-mail addresses for free. It also includes the former MobileMe service of Find My iPad. It also introduces the ability to sync your bookmarks, notes,contacts, calendars, and reminders, as well as Photo Stream, a way to store your photos in the cloud (why it gives Photo Stream a separate menu, I don’t know; the only option that menu gives is yet another on/off slider). By the way, did anyone notice that Apple changed the slider images? Personally, I liked the old ones better. As seen immediately above the big red Delete Account button, you can also back up your devices straight to iCloud. However, this disables automatic backup with iTunes, so I left it disabled.
Twitter integration in iOS 5
iOS 5 now features direct integration with Twitter, allowing single sign-on for all Twitter apps, a most welcome addition after Twitter’s basically made developers of Twitter clients bend over and take their crappy web-based authentication. Apparently iOS will be spared the awful experience, as you can add accounts directly in the Settings app.
Posting to Twitter from Safari
You can also post to Twitter directly from certain apps, including Safari (pictured above) and Photos. However, photos tweeted from Photos seem to be in highly reduced quality.
While I find this functionality both well-implemented and convenient, I’m slightly worried about the precedent that it’s setting. If Apple is this accepting of third-party software out-of-box, this may eventually introduce Facebook support in iOS. Considering I do not use Facebook, I would find this to be unnecessary bloat. And for those that do, if I really need to scare you with what may happen, this could lead to crapware in Macs down the line. What I’ve always enjoyed about Mac OS X is that Apple makes both the hardware and the software, therefore wants to make both work well together, not loading a ton of crapware onto Macs out of box. While this is somewhat different, it is setting a precedent that I’m concerned may lead to such things.
A notification in iOS 5
As was probably the most (over-?)hyped feature of iOS 5, Apple has included a revamped notifications system. While I’ve never used MobileNotifier, I’ve seen screenshots/videos, and the fact that Apple has hired its developer, Peter Hajas, is apparent (while talking about Apple hiring a jailbreak developer, let me add a bit to my rant on Sony by saying Apple is setting an excellent example of how Sony should’ve handled their argument with Geohot).
Apple has also provided Notification Center, a summary of recent notifications. It allows you to open the app that created them, or to clear the notifications created by a given app.
Lock screen notifications
Notifications on the lock screen have also been improved. You can swipe across one to go to the app that created it, and it now handles multiple notifications better.
Notifications in iOS 5 are also incredibly customizable. You may select whether they appear in Notification Center, whether they appear on the lock screen, and even how many messages appear in Notification Center. Furthermore, it is also of note that Apple has not completely removed the old notification system. You can configure an application to use the old notification style by setting it to use “Alerts” instead of “Banners.”
Thank you for reading my review of some of the many changes in iOS 5. While not pictured, a couple of other things are of note, such as the music app having been split into two on all devices. The music app on iPad has also been redesigned. The one thing that really, really peeves me about iOS 5 thus far, and I really hope is a bug that Apple plans to address, is the “lock out of device upon X incorrect passcode attempts” functionality. For one thing, syncing with iTunes no longer resets this lockout. Furthermore, even if it did, if Apple really plans to cut the cord and sell to users who don’t own a PC or a Mac, they’ve gotta at least make that functionality an option. My password would take millions of years to bruteforce, and I’d rather some stupid kid playing with my devices not prevent the person intended to access the device (me) take millions of years to get into the device owned by the person who actually knows the password. I don’t need a software-enforced lockout to keep my stuff safe. Besides this (hopefully once again a bug that will soon be addressed), my only real disappointment with iOS 5 is that it hasn’t provided a unified way to access files across apps (as opposed to the Open in… functionality that gives me a mild measure of trouble in VLC). Storage space is finite, and having to make a copy of a large movie just to watch it, as opposed to being able to just watch the copy that I downloaded from its present location, is quite annoying.
In summary, while iOS 5 has a couple of critical bugs, and lacks one feature I really wanted to see, it’s certainly moving even further in the right direction. The best mobile OS on the market today, and most likely for the entire foreseeable future, has gotten better with messaging across devices, sexy new unobtrusive notifications, finally gaining complete independence from the PC, and built-in free cloud backup and syncing.

I stumbled upon this, and it’s really well done!
I have a question, in your opinion, why am I not seeing notifications on lock screen and am not able to se gestures?
Great article! Good to know that I’m not the only one concerned about the third party apps spoiling the “immaculate” iOS and OS X software. This is a step going against not only the very core of what apple stands for but also Steve Jobs’ own words from a previous keynote. As for the iTunes Sync feature: oddly enough I notice the same thing until I went back to check it one morning only to find that it apparently synced an hour earlier. However, I have yet to replicate it since then.
I am also not seeing any notifications on the lock screen at all – neither with the iphone 4 nor the ipad 2 (freshly updated to ios 5, not jailbroken, all notifications enabled, exchange account set to auto push every 15 minutes, wifi enabled and online etc)

This NIMH-funded, two-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (T32) provides fellowship training in health services research involving older adults with mental disorders. The program is designed for
medical physicians
social/behavioral scientists
who are committed to becoming independently supported mental health services researchers.
Program Goals: The goal of this training program is to increase the number of researchers in geriatric mental health services research by preparing them with the requisite skills to conduct mental health services research in age-relevant settings, populations, and service models.
This multi-site Services Research Training Collaboratory (SRTC) brings together the strengths of investigators and training opportunities in four leading centers of excellence in geriatric mental health services research, namely Dartmouth College, Cornell University, the University of Washington (UW), and the University of Michigan (UM). For detailed information about the research ongoings at each site, visit our downloadable T32 Program Brochure.
The program’s goal is to grow the field of early-career research scientists focusing on geriatric mental health services through a proven, innovative, transdisciplinary, multi-site, training collaboratory. We achieve this goal by providing fellows with a two-year program consisting of:
Mentored geriatric mental health services research training;
Cross-site seminars and co-mentoring linked by web-based communication and archived curricula; and
Formal coursework at each site, including the opportunity for a master’s degree in public health or master’s of science in health services research.
The SRTC is committed to recruiting and retaining individuals with disabilities, ethnic and racial minorities, and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Music to start your 9/22 week: At The Gates, Oberon, Black Crown Initiate
Posted by Morgan Y Evans - Walking Bombs on Monday, September 22, 2014 at 9:16 AM (PST)
Let’s get this party started right and kick off the earliest “trve” days of Fall with some powerful new music from some well regarded musicians. These sounds are nothing short of a contribution to society that goes beyond any detractors remarks or behind the scenes personal stuff. These artists are on fire.
Taken on their own merits, the following songs are all powerful ways to tame the feeling of being a flickering thought in the cosmos, or at least come to grips with it while fighting a war against reality.
The new marching monster from At The Gates is strong stuff, perhaps not shocking in direction or content but nonetheless a worthy tune. Is this what you expected after so many years waiting or perhaps never expecting a new ATG song at all? I like the opening attack and confidently melodic guitar leads the best, while the vocals tear to the bone. This will surely be a rekindling of faith for some who feel this genre needs a jolt. Whether it changes your day completely or is just another cool metal song, it’s good to have the band back (even though I am more chuffed by the genuine risks taken on Siren Charms, the thrilling new release from In Flames).
[youtube]http://youtu.be/aoJYZITMZAI[/youtube]
Prophecy Productions has released a lyric video for Oberon’s gorgeous “Phoenix”. This song is meandering deeply into my heart with a wistful sense of determination “facing the force of time’s grinding teeth, of the body’s fading flame.”
In 1997, Oberon’s self-titled mini album was one of the very first releases by Prophecy Productions. Now, after two full-length albums (Mysteries in 1998 and Anthem in 2001) as well as a single (“Big Brother”, 2000), which were self-released by the artist, some musical explorations under the monicker of Future Whirl and a long-term creative hiatus, Oberon is back with his first album in 13 years.
I can’t get enough of this song. Sabbath Assembly and Hammers Of Misfortune fans take note.
[youtube]http://youtu.be/jI4RiiXbmWs[/youtube]
Black Crown Initiate need to be on everyone’s radar this year. The Wreckage of Stars has some absolutely amazing moments. The drumming alone on this album is next level. Alex Hoffman from Fallujah did the record artwork for the band, and you can hear top notch glorious metal mental workout “Withering Waves” below.
[youtube]http://youtu.be/Qv2k7YyWeL0[/youtube]
It’s nice to actually have some tunes this week to tear me away from my old copy of Shadows Fall’s The Art Of Balance (R.I.P.) for a minute and into the present. Metal survives and grows ever stronger.

Deeds of Flesh
Unique Leader Records
Deeds of Flesh MySpace
Technical death metal pioneers DEEDS OF FLESH return after a seven year hiatus with their 9th studio album Nucleus, set for release via Unique Leader Records on 11th December 2020 (Vinyl release 15th January 2021). The band's first release since the tragic passing of guitarist / vocalist and Unique Leader founder Erik Lindmark, who lost a battle with sclerosis in 2018, Nucleus features guest performances some of the biggest names in extreme metal to celebrate his life and contribution to metal. Vocalist Jacoby Kingston is joined by members of Pathology, Gorguts, Dying Fetus, Submerged, Decrepit Birth and more. With a mix of the old and new style of DEEDS OF FLESH writing, this album is the completion of a story that began with Of What's to Come (2008) and ran through Portals to Canaan (2013). The music was written by Erik Lindmark (RIP), Craig Peters, Ivan Munguia and Darren Cesca, and had been recorded and partially mixed for almost four years. When Erik Lindmark passed in 2018, vocalist Jacoby Kingston came out of retirement to help finish the album. Alongside long-time drummer Mike Hamilton, they finished the story arc, wrote the lyrics and made the vocal arrangements for Nucleus.

Egypt in the Future Tense: Hope, Frustration, and Ambivalence before and after 2011
By Brittany Landorf June 17, 2019
Matters Under Review
Download PDF: RV Landorf, Egypt in the Future Tense
By Joska Samuli Schielke
Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2015. 260 pages. $30.00.
What does it mean to “live the good life?” How do individuals navigate the spaces between frustration and hope, dreams and thwarted realities, and piety and anxiety? Samuli Schielke’s second monograph, Egypt in the Future Tense: Hope Frustration, and Ambivalence before and after 2011, asks us to attend to these questions, drawing us to the ways in which young Egyptians inhabit the intersections of modernity, Islam, and politics. His ethnography follows the lives of primarily young, Egyptian men from 2006–2013 as they attempt to escape boredom, live religiously sound lives, find meaningful work, foster romantic relationships, and advance socially and economically in the pathways connecting their village located in the Egypt’s Nile Delta to Alexandria and Cairo. While the 2011 revolution is not the explicit focus of his book, it emerges in several chapters (and is included in the book’s title) as a key moment in the consciousness of his interlocutors. Schielke is both a filmmaker and a photographer, in addition to his work as a research fellow at Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient and as an external lecturer in Visual and Media Anthropology at the Free University of Berlin. As such, his work not only engages the medium of print but photography and film as well. This multi-faceted way of sensing, perceiving, and being is reflected in his turn to ontological and affective states of frustration, boredom, and failure that shape how his interlocutors navigate their everyday selves and their ideals.
The book is divided into two parts: the ambiguities of grand schemes and the ways people inhabit and interact within grand schemes. The first five chapters focus on themes of a purposeful life, striving to be a good person, embodying religious knowledge (following the straight path), longing for romantic love, and the relationship between capitalism and religious revival. In the first chapter, Schielke examines the ambiguity of life-purpose through the lens of boredom and killing time. The second chapter explores the multivalent and, at times, contradictory ways of embodying living a “good life.” Chapter three builds from this multivalence and ambiguity to unpack ideas of moral perfection as constructed through Salafi revivalist practices and discourse in Egypt. Chapters four and five consider the grand schemes of passionate love, religious revival, and consumerist capitalism. The second half of the book shifts from a focus on the grand schemes and their frameworks to the quotidian strategies people develop to navigate them. In chapter six, Schielke examines questions about commitment to the Salafi path, moving from there to the avenues opened by dreams of migration to the other side (i.e. Europe) in chapter seven, and the constraint of the neoliberal bureaucratic, educational, and political systems in chapter eight. Finally, chapter nine concludes with his interlocutors’ experience of the 2011 revolution and its aftermath.
Schielke’s epistemological critique of the anthropology of Islam developed by Talal Asad, Saba Mahmood, and Charles Hirschkind is key to the book’s argument. He takes particular issue with Mahmood’s conceptualization of embodied piety and the Aristotelian tradition of ethical self-cultivation, explicitly and implicitly deploying Mahmood as a foil throughout the book. In response to what he views as Mahmood’s (as well as Asad’s and Hirschkind’s) theoretical abstraction, reliance on Foucauldian understandings of subjectivation through discourses of power, and an almost pure, or capital ‘I,’ Islam, Schielke offers a theoretical framework drawn from his interlocuters, whom he calls his co-theorists, that is attuned to the ambivalence and human-ness of being Muslim.
In addition to troubling normative configurations of an anthropology of Islam by attending to the everyday moments of Muslim-ness, Schielke engages in existential and ontological play with time, which Ahmed Ragab and others have referred to as timeplay.[1] His analysis of time’s sporadic movements and its lapses highlight central tenets of his book: ambiguity and ambivalence. While Schielke would perhaps refer to his use of time as interacting with an anthropology of time, I would argue that his attention to the particular timeplay of modern Egypt as lived in the spaces intertwining urban and rural is also reminiscent of dystopian fiction, as well as recent work in queer and critical theories, and the history of science.[3] This timeplay highlights the tension Schielke mentions between acceptance of one’s fate and destiny (qadar) and working towards one’s ambitions, aspirations, or dreams (see chapters 2–3).
Surprisingly, while marriage, love, flirtation, sexual tension, gender control, and men feature prominently in his ethnography, gender and sexuality are not engaged in a rigorous manner. Schielke occasionally gestures to the gendered nature of these experiences, strategies, and anxieties, yet does not fully interrogate the ways in which the existential realities and concerns he observes cannot only be considered gendered experiences but are also constitutive of his interlocutor’s performance gender. It would be interesting to see Schielke return to his discussion of boredom, anxieties, and frustration to consider, for example, the relationship between these existential states and masculinity in Egypt today.
This book is a noteworthy contribution to the study of Islam specifically and anthropology of Islam more broadly. It should be read in connection with the theoretical works it engages, namely that of Asad, Mahmood, and Hirschkind, as well as recent attempts to move beyond their theoretical tradition, such as Amira Mittermaier’s Dreams That Matter (2010), Su’ad Abdul Khabeer’s Muslim Cool (2016), Shahab Ahmed’s What is Islam (2016), Anand Vivek Taneja’s Jinnealogy (2018), and Sylvia Chan-Malik’s Being Muslim (2018). Schielke’s Egypt in the Future Tense asks us to reconsider the quotidian experiences of being Muslim in a rapidly reconfiguring world. For Schielke, to live the “good life” is to perform a technology of a fractured self, revolving around in the continual negotiation between dreams and frustrated desires, faith and anxiety.

Property buyers putting purchases on hold
Buyers worried house prices will fall in uncertain future
Mortgage brokers said buyers were postponing or pulling out of property deals as a result of the Brexit vote, fearing that economic uncertainty would make their purchase unaffordable or hoping that prices would later fall.
Andrew Montlake, director at broker Coreco, said a number of clients had contacted the broker to put their purchases on hold as the shockwave of the Leave vote broke on Friday morning. “They want to see what’s going to happen,” he said.
Gary Festa, executive director at broker HFM Columbus, said three borrowers had pulled out of deals after the vote, two in expectation of falling prices to come. Other clients, he said, were pursuing their property purchases but were concerned over their future prospects. “They work for foreign banks and they’re worried about their jobs,” he said.
Recent weeks have seen a slowdown in activity, as buyers and sellers held their breath over the EU referendum, agents and brokers said. But a Brexit outcome that leaves many questions unresolved until lengthy political negotiations are concluded has redoubled the mood of uncertainty.
Property experts said the vote would put a stop to the increased price rises seen in sought-after parts of the market in recent years, in particular London. The Treasury warned ahead of the vote that prices could fall by between 10 and 18 per cent in the event of Brexit. But the number of transactions is also likely to fall, according to Richard Donnell, research director at housing market analyst Hometrack. Looking at the impact of previous political and economic shocks, he estimated that they triggered a 10 per cent fall in transactions in UK cities and 15 per cent in London.
Some foreign buyers were taking advantage of the decline in sterling to make their move. Ed Mead, executive director at agent Douglas & Gordon, said overseas buyers were phoning in to make offers below asking prices on prime central London homes after the currency shift. “US buyers are probably getting things at one-third less than they were a year ago.”
Adrian Anderson, director at broker Anderson Harris, said a non-UK resident had called on Friday morning to accelerate a purchase. “High-value London properties may all of a sudden start to look cheap, particularly for buyers in US dollars. The high-value non-doms may see it as a bit of an opportunity.”
Mr Montlake cautioned that the continued demand for housing would cushion any hard landing. “There is some panic but people need to remember when they’re buying a property as a home not as an investment. People still need to move, they get divorced and they need to live near schools. There is still an imbalance of supply and demand.”

BTec missing results: ‘We’ve been forgotten about’
Image copyright Thalia Hazeldine
Four days have passed since BTec students across the UK were due to get their results.
But those four days have been an anxious wait for many students – because they’ve heard nothing about their grades.
Most received their qualification, according to the Association of Colleges, but exam board Pearson admits there has been a delay for some.
With university spaces filling up – and clearing opportunities dying down – students worry they won’t make it to university.
Pearson didn’t say when results will be available but is offering to speak to universities on behalf of affected students.
The UK’s largest awarding body for qualifications including BTecs, A-levels and GCSEs says it is looking into the issue “urgently”.
Some students who took Cambridge Technicals – vocational qualifications similar to BTecs but administered by the OCR exam board – are experiencing the same delays.
OCR apologised for “adding to the stress” of students and said it would confirm results “as soon as possible”.
Image copyright Ellie Clarke
Image caption “I love caring for people so much”
That’s no help to 18-year-old Ellie Clarke though.
She’s spent the past two years completing her BTec in Health and Social Care – which included coursework, exams and 100 hours of voluntary work caring in the community.
Her “heart sank” when she went to see what grade her hard work had led to and the website showed nothing.
“As students, we’re committed to completing our assignments on time, but our exam board couldn’t even commit to getting our results in on time.”
She’s since struggled to sleep and feels helpless.
“I’ve cried a few times. I don’t know what to do or who to contact because there’s realistically nothing I can do.”
‘It’s like we’re not important’
Without her results, she says it’s hard to access clearing.
“I have until next week to accept my accommodation, as the universities now need our results as a matter of urgency.”
Ellie and her classmates “feel forgotten”, she adds, like they’re “not important”.
But she is committed to caring for people, regardless of how the delay over results ends up.
“If this year doesn’t go to plan, I’ll carry on, get a nursing degree one day and treat those people that lowered my grades or didn’t give me my grades – to show them how hard I worked.”
Pearson said: “We understand the frustration this must have caused. We are working closely with the students and colleges involved to look into this urgently and provide any outstanding results as soon as we can.”
It’s asking affected students to direct message @BTECstudents or @Edexcelstudents on Twitter for help.
‘There’s nothing to celebrate’
Image copyright Faheem Khan
Image caption Faheem says his nerves have been building since Thursday
“On results day you know you’re going to be nervous for what you get, but because we haven’t had our results and it’s going on for four days now, those nerves rack up. It’s quite hard to deal with.”
Faheem Khan is waiting anxiously to see whether he will be accepted into either Wolverhampton University or De Monfort University to study Pharmacy.
The 20-year-old says Pearson “needs to get itself together”.
“If the roles were reversed and we were to give our results late we would be disqualified. It’s not fair, we would be punished.”
Faheem was hoping to go out for a meal with his friends after finding out their results but the plans are on hold because “there’s nothing to celebrate”.
“If I try and look at the positives, this results day is something to remember.”
‘I don’t think I’m going to university’
Image copyright Thaila Hazeldine
Thaila Hazeldine wants to do a nursing degree after finishing her Level 3 Health and Social Care BTec. But now she doesn’t think that’s likely.
“Clearing places are filling up, I just don’t think I’m going to university this year.”
She hoped to have a place confirmed at Brighton University by now. The uni is holding a place for her until she finds out her results.
If Thaila misses the requirements though she had been hoping to get a spot at the University of Portsmouth. That chance is now gone – there are no spaces left.
“We’ve had little communication from Pearson. It’s exhausting for us.”
Thaila hasn’t joined some of her friends at the pub to celebrate the end of two years’ hard work. Instead she’s been “constantly checking” her phone for updates.
The 18-year-old feels Pearson has put her and her classmates at a “huge” disadvantage and left them feeling “frustrated and forgotten about”.
“I’ve worked so hard for the past two years – even when it was really difficult and I felt like quitting – because I knew by putting in the work I’d achieve great things. To have that taken away by Pearson is disheartening.”
‘The good places are running out’
Image copyright Badar Hussain
Image caption Badar says dealing with dyslexia during his BTec was his biggest challenge to getting good grades
“I’ve worked really hard as I sat my exams before lockdown,” Badar Hussain tells Newsbeat.
He’s achieved distinctions and merits throughout the year and says the delay in results could harm his university prospects.
“If I don’t meet my offer, I can’t go through clearing because I have no results to show and all the good places are running out.”
It means the 18-year-old will have to re-do his course or take a gap year.
Badar says he’s received no updates from his college or Pearson about his results, despite sending multiple emails.
“On the day, I was sent no information about what my results were or what to do for clearing. It’s been four days and there has been no information about this or what to tell my universities.”
He feels the system is “unfair” and BTec students like him are dismissed and not taken seriously.
Badar wants to study science further and become a doctor – but for now, “the future is unimaginable”.
“Any help from the government with reserved university places would perhaps help.”

An avalanche has hit Hotel Rigopiano in Italy
Two children were among the 20 guests staying at Hotel Rigopiano in Pescara, a province in the Abruzzo region, when the avalanche hit.
While some hotel guests were able to get away before the avalanche struck, it is unknown how many were in the building at the time of the incident.
The hotel, on the slope of Gran Sasso, had earlier used its Facebook page to warn guests the phone network was down due to bad weather.
Mayor of Pescara Antonio Di Marco described the avalanche as a “terrible tragedy” and said the hotel is buried in snow.

An avalanche warning was triggered earlier yesterday after a series of earthquake rocked central Italy.
Mr Di Marco said: "There seem to be victims, but it all needs to be confirmed. There were 20 guests in the hotel."
In a Facebook post, which has since been deleted, Mr Di Marco said: "Unfortunately this terrible tragedy has occurred. It seems the people are dead, but this has yet to be confirmed."
Italian news agency ANSA said at least three people are believed to be missing with other local media saying as many as 30 guests and staff are unaccounted for.
The chef from the four-star spa resort raised the alarm with Pescara Red Cross who have rushed to the scene.

It comes hours after several strong earthquakes and aftershocks struck central Italy, which has been hit by heavy snowfall in the last week.
Four quakes of magnitude 5.2 and higher struck near the hill town of Amatrice, some 60 miles northeast of Rome, in the space of four hours.
Much of the area had already been abandoned after last year's earthquakes.

Manila-based photographer Aaron Favila was about to drive his family to the new Star Wars movie on Sunday afternoon when he saw an alarming tweet: The Taal volcano in Tagaytay, just 35 miles (60 kilometers) from the Philippine capital, was spewing ash and threatening an eruption.
The movie would have to wait.
Favila alerted video journalist Bogie Calupitan and chief correspondent Jim Gomez, and immediately started making plans to head to the site, a 2 to 3-hour drive from Manila. He told his family to take his wife’s car to the movie and he set out on the road, with Calupitan not far behind.

As Favila got close, a downpour of ash started to fall, and his wipers couldn’t keep up. Favila shot a few snaps before dark, filed them, and pressed on. Joining the standout photo coverage was recently retired chief photographer Bullit Marquez who contributed key images.
Meanwhile, Calupitan was making his own way to the site, and Gomez was filing urgently from the office. Even from the road, Calupitan secured user-generated content (UGC) from Facebook and from his wife’s office mate who lives near the volcano. Then he spotted a narrow vantage point along the road and set up his live shot. It showed a dramatic scene, with a high cloud of ash rising from the volcano amid intermittent flashes of lightening. Because of their fast work, AP was the only agency with live shots before darkness fell. A major competitor did not arrive at the site until the next morning.
The entire team employed AP’s news gathering strategy of Now, Better, Best: being the first up with live shots and UGC, and then dominating the story for two days even after the competition arrived.
Their fast and professional work was reflected in the play. Ten of the top 100 photos downloaded from AP images were volcano photos, even though the story was competing with NFL playoff games and the Iran plane crash. The top three videos were also of the volcano, with a whopping 2,876 hits combined. The text story was used widely as well. But perhaps the most impressive image was one that didn’t make the wire, this shot of Favila’s car after it was blanketed by ash:
The AP is paying for a thorough cleaning. Oh, and Favila still hasn’t had a chance to see that Star Wars movie, though the force was most definitely with him and his colleagues. For outstanding work, Favila, Calupitan and Gomez win AP’s Best of the Week award.

“APOGEVMATINI APOLAFSI”
MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2: THE OFFICIAL TRAILER HAS ARRIVED
The much anticipated trailer for ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2‘ has finally been released. The sequel is based 13 years after the original film and is centred once more around the much loved Portokalos family. ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ was released in 2002 and made $368 million at the box-office globally, setting the record as the biggest romantic comedy of all time; meaning the expectations for the sequel are high to say the least.
Universal Pictures have finally released the official trailer, which gives fans a good idea of what to expect. The plot centres around Toula Portokalos (Nia Vardalos) and Ian Miller (John Corbett), who are still lovingly married with a daughter. Their daughter is played by American film and television actress Elena Kampouri. As the plot unfolds we learn that she is applying for distant colleges, to be freed of her over-protective and over-bearing Greek family.
As for the much anticipated second wedding, well it turns out that Toula’s parents, played by Lainie Kazan and Michael Constantine aren’t (technically) married to each other and the film centres around them tying the knot a second time (officially this time).
Returning also for the sequel are Andrea Martin, Louis Mandylor and Gia Carides. New characters include John Stamos and Alex Wollf. Kirk Jones directs this new chapter, which Nia Vardalos once again wrote; Rita Wilson and Playtone partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goertzman are back to produce.
The long-awaited sequel is set for release on March 25, 2016. Watch the official trailer, here…

About William Duece Hulett
INDEPENDENT NASHVILLE RECORDING ARTIST
William "DUECE" Hulett is from Lexington, KY. William was raised by his loving parents who both had a strong love of music. His mother would always listen to Patsy Cline, Connie Francis and Gene Pitney, while his father listened to Ronnie Milsap, Hank Williams, Randy Travis and Ray Stevens, just to name a few. Their love for music influenced William to become a singer himself. William was introduced at an early age to many types of music and has been influenced by them all, but his greatest inspirations would have to be "Garth Brooks", “Randy Travis” and "Alan Jackson".
William first started singing at age 7 at his local church and his deep love for singing just got stronger as the years went by. He would sing at family reunions, weddings and gatherings as much as possible, and at the age of 17 his luck started to change when his uncle bought a bar in Versailles, KY. William had his first singing debut in front of a large crowd at his uncle’s bar. As William looked out into the crowd and into their eyes filled with enjoyment, he then knew that singing was what he would strive for. Being a singer and pleasing the crowd made him come alive and William has been singing ever since.
William, as years went by, owned a few bars and has done personal security for some of the biggest and best entertainers known. Never giving up on his singing career, William's dream has finally come true and he is now known as Independent Nashville Recording artist "DUECE"!
Some of “DUECE’s” gigs include:
Cadillac Ranch in Nashville, TN
Tootsies Orchid Lounge in Nashville, TN
Legends Corner in Nashville, TN
The Second Fiddle in Nashville, TN
The Stage in Nashville, TN
Whiskey Bent Saloon in Nashville, TN

One Pasty at a Time: Blazers Anthem
To get to where you are, you have to realize where many have been. (NSFW after the cut)
Jean Idelle: Jet Magazine, (February 5, 1953), Image courtesy of 1953 Black History
This doesn’t just apply to the performers of years past, but also to contemporary performers who, in essence, blaze their own amazing trail, leaving you with your jaw wide open and a realization that you’ve got some work to do. I say this having sat in two very different, but ultimately amazing audiences the previous week: one as an audience member at a Brown Girls Burlesque-sponsored show in honor of Jean Idelle, a burlesque dancer from the 50s who is soon to be inducted into the Burlesque Hall of Fame (courtesy of the performances by Brown Girls Burlesque and their special guests), and the other, as a quasi last minute stage kitten, quasi audience member at the lecture-performance on Wild Wild Women (burlesque and the sideshow), who watched in stupefied joy as contemporary top performer Julie Atlas Muz made her pussy lips sing to Judas Priest’s ” Breakin the Law.”
As you can imagine, Jean Idelle is what we would call legend, a performer from one of the golden periods of burlesque, but also a performer competing with an often white-washed view of history. Following “La Baker,” writes Chicava Honeychild, the creative producer of Brown Girls Burlesque, and an amazing fan dancer herself, “The 1940s and ’50s was an era of stunning nightclub floorshows that featured African-American women who traveled coast-to-coast and around the world. Yet, the books that claim to detail the history of burlesque say little about women of color and their unique struggles and triumphs.” Idelle, who is now in her seventies, was treated to performances from The exHOTic Other, Jazabel Jade, and the other amazing women who make up the troupe, all in an effort to raise money for her trip to her Legends induction. Ethereal and divine, it also is a homage to the great performers who came before, as well as how things have changed and stayed the same.
Julie Atlas Muz performing with Mat Fraser: Beauty and the Beast (c) Photo taken from Kontejner
On the other side of the coin, there’s Julie Atlas Muz, a contemporary performer, whose own work rests in between the world of burlesque and performance art. Muz has trail-blazed mainly by doing her own thing, which is enough in itself to make one realize how far you can go (what’s that quote about surrounding yourself with people who are better than you?). “Bust Magazine” describes her as one who “thrives on the heady thrill of exposing both herself and her work to the censure of a world which often devalues her art form and equates it with soft porn,” which frankly, sounds way more fun than what would have been considered “art” by an institutional force that’s known to rarely take many seriously, other than the big boys. Muz is hilarious and beautiful, her work a combination of ooing and then screaming, bringing the bizarre to the front and center, where you can enjoy every moment of it. Let’s just be real honest. That’s some hard shit to follow.
By watching other performers, not only do you realize what you may or may not be as one, but moreover, what you aspire to do. Not in a – hey, I’m going to do that act type of deal (cause that’s a serious no-fucking no), but how performers carve out their own spaces by way of cutting through what came before them. It’s an education of sorts, a way of recognizing what those who came before or, hell, are still coming (that joke writes itself) and how heavily they influence the space you take as a performer and form into your own. Moreover, it makes you buck up and get out there and own it. That’s the thing about blazing trails – you eventually have to own them, whether it’s being a legendary performer like Jean, a game changer like Julie, or just altering the course of what you expected for yourself. Sure, two of those weigh heavier than say, personal narrative, but they are also personal narratives, ones that can then provide visibility for others who are just beginning or finding their way. The important part is recognizing those who came before you for the trailblazers they are, whether it’s for creating a paradigm shift or merely existing – they are the ones who keep at this thing, who keep making magic happen again and again and again. If that’s not something to be thankful for, or at least, to be in awe of, I don’t know what is.

Love this information. Thanks for always writing such interesting stuff, Coco. :)

This article reminds me of a cartoon I saw earlier today entitled Poet School:
“So I have to learn everything there is to know about poetry, and then ignore it?”
Well said, trailblazers of the future. Â Well said.

Vladimir I. Arnold (dixit)
In the mid-twentieth century the theory of partial differential equations was considered the summit of mathematics, both because of the difficulty and significance of the problems it solved and because it came into existence later than most areas of mathematics.
Nowadays many are inclined to look disparagingly at this remarkable area of mathematics as an old-fashioned art of juggling inequalities or as a testing ground for applications of functional analysis. Courses in this subject have even disappeared from the obligatory program of many universities (for example, in Paris). Moreover, such remarkable textbooks as the classical threevolume work of Goursat have been removed as superfluous from the library of the University of Paris-7 (and only through my own intervention was it possible to save them, along with the lectures of Klein, Picard, Hermite, Darboux, Jordan, ... ).
The cause of this degeneration of an important general mathematical theory into an endless stream of papers bearing titles like "On a property of a solution of a boundary-value problem for an equation" is most likely the attempt to create a unified, all-encompassing, superabstract "theory of everything."
The principal source of partial differential equations is found in the continuous-medium models of mathematical and theoretical physics. Attempts to extend the remarkable achievements of mathematical physics to systems that match its models only formally lead to complicated theories that are difficult to visualize as a whole, just as attempts to extend the geometry of second-order surfaces and the algebra of quadratic forms to objects of higher degrees quickly leads to the detritus of algebraic geometry with its discouraging hierarchy of complicated degeneracies and answers that can be computed only theoretically.
The situation is even worse in the theory of partial differential equations: here the difficulties of commutative algebraic geometry are inextricably bound up with noncommutative differential algebra, in addition to which the topological and analytic problems that arise are profoundly nontrivial.
At the same time, general physical principles and also general concepts such as energy, the variational principle, Huygens' principle, the Lagrangian, the Legendre transformation, the Hamiltonian, eigenvalues and eigenfunctions, wave-particle duality, dispersion relations, and fundamental solutions interact elegantly in numerous highly important problems of mathematical physics. The study of these problems motivated the development of large areas of mathematics such as the theory of Fourier series and integrals, functional analysis, algebraic geometry, symplectic and contact topology, the theory of asymptotics of integrals, microlocal analysis, the index theory of (pseudo- )differential operators, and so forth.
Familiarity with these fundamental mathematical ideas is, in my view, absolutely essential for every working mathematician. The exclusion of them from the university mathematical curriculum, which has occurred and continues to occur in many Western universities under the influence of the axiomaticist/scholastics (who know nothing about applications and have no desire to know anything except the "abstract nonsense" of the algebraists) seems to me to be an extremely dangerous consequence of Bourbakization of both mathematics and its teaching. The effort to destroy this unnecessary scholastic pseudoscience is a natural and proper reaction of society (including scientific society) to the irresponsible and self-destructive aggressiveness of the "superpure" mathematicians educated in the spirit of Hardy and Bourbaki.
The author of this very short course of lectures has attempted to make students of mathematics with minimal knowledge (linear algebra and the basics of analysis, including ordinary differential equations) acquainted with a kaleidoscope of fundamental ideas of mathematics and physics. Instead of the principle of maximal generality that is usual in mathematical books the author has attempted to adhere to the principle of minimal generality, according to which every idea should first be clearly understood in the simplest situation; only then can the method developed be extended to more complicated cases.
Although it is usually simpler to prove a general fact than to prove numerous special cases of it, for a student the content of a mathematical theory is never larger than the set of examples that are thoroughly understood. That is why it is examples and ideas, rather than general theorems and axioms, that form the basis of this book. The examination problems at the end of the course form an essential part of it.
Particular attention has been devoted to the interaction of the subject with other areas of mathematics: the geometry of manifolds, symplectic and contact geometry, complex analysis, calculus of variations, and topology. The author has aimed at a student who is eager to learn, but hopes that through this book even professional mathematicians in other specialties can become acquainted with the basic and therefore simple ideas of mathematical physics and the theory of partial differential equations.

4-Year-Old Saves Pregnant Mother's Life with a 911 Call
incredible kids January 28, 2015
4-year-old Calise Manning is a little hero after using what she was taught to save her mother’s life.
Calise's very pregnant mother, Centerria Manning, taughter her to call 911 if anything happened to her because Centerria is epileptic.
CNN says Centerria had a seizure and fell to the floor. Calise was not only paying close attention, but she sprung into action, not missing a beat.
In a 911 call obtained by CNN, Calise said, “My mom is really pregnant and she’s having a boy and she really needs help.” The 4-year-old also went on to give all of their information, including her mom’s age and address.
In the call that runs more than seven minutes long CNN said Calise is heard responding to the 911 call taker who asks her how old she is. Calise said she was “four” and added, “Yes, and I’m almost getting bigger.”
Not only was Centerria’s life saved, but she also gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
“The dispatcher who handled the call told the station that she’s recommending Calise get an award for being calm in a scary situation,” CNN said.
As for Centerria’s fiancé, he wasn’t home at the time of the incident. Mom and baby are healthy.

The old rule, the true rule and contract administration notices in construction – Andrew Mewing
Recently there has been a trend towards a non-technical or commercial approach to contract administration notices in construction. This trend appears driven by a similar approach to the interpretation of contracts, including the progressive creep away from the restriction on examining surrounding circumstances (the Codelfa “true rule”). The High Court of Australia recently breathed life into the true rule, creating an apparent re-divergence of the laws of England and Australia. What does this mean for the approach to contract administration notices in Australia? This article argues that a non-technical approach is still to be preferred, and in the process embarks on a critical analysis of the issues involved in the contract interpretation debate.

Contractors’ global loss of productivity claims – David McAndrew
Contractor’s loss of productivity claims are notoriously difficult to prosecute, defend and determine. They are typically pleaded and prosecuted as a global claim, (often a total cost claim) and therefore raise difficult issues in relation to causation, including the pleading and proof of the causal link between (1) the alleged employer breaches, (2) the consequent disruption/loss of productivity, and (3) the global loss claimed. Rather than set out the causal link between the individual breaches and the specific loss attributable to each breach in a conventional manner, the contractor’s case is that the causal links set out above are to be inferred. There are many useful articles and authorities in relation to the pleading and proof of global claims per se. However, what appears to be lacking is a summary of all of the key issues relating to global claims for loss of productivity. The purpose of this article is to provide a “road map” in relation to these claims.

GLEE: Marley and Kitty are “Holding Out for a Hero” in fierce costumes
By: Estella Pierce | November 23, 2012 at 1:00 PM EST
Marley and Kitty may be frenemies, but they worked well together in this Glee duet.
Melissa Benoist and Becca Tobin dressed up as superheroes in the Glee episode “Dynamic Duets.” Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) teamed these two girls together to sing, and they delivered in a big way.
Their song was “Holding Out for a Hero” as originally made famous by Bonnie Tyler.
Kitty Wilde wore a cat costume, while Marley was “WF” – which changed meaning from Wall Flower to Woman, Fierce. (Because, why not?)
And while some may have been expecting Kitty to sabotage Marley’s costume to tear open, nothing like that ever happened.

Employer Transit Subsidy Study: Executive Summary
Hall, Peter V.
Perl, Anthony
Sawatzky, Karen
and multiple more authors
This study found that the larger the transit subsidy offered, the more employees were induced to become transit riders and the more transit-only commuting increased. The increase in transit-only commuting came from a reduction in auto-only and auto-and-transit commuting. Transit subsidy acceptance and effectiveness can be dampened by factors such as the availability of cheap parking, or greater distance between the workplace and rapid transit, leading to some variability in outcomes. Transit ridership and subsidy acceptance were associated with various positive self-reported improvements to workers’ quality of life, including their health, stress levels and commute predictability. These positive quality of life outcomes were achieved without the transit subsidy having any observed effects on work schedules, turnover and performance.

Cooperation, Proximity, and Social Innovation: Three Ingredients for Industrial Medium-Sized Towns’ Renewal?
Gros-Balthazard, Marjolaine
Talandier, Magali
Over several decades, medium-sized industrial towns have suffered from a combination of economic and political processes: Deindustrialization, metropolization, and withdrawal of public services. After two decades in which they have been somewhat neglected (in favor of metropolises), there have recently been State and European public policies aimed at them. Medium-sized cities are not homogeneous and present several trajectories. Based on quantitative approach in France, we highlight the very diverse socio-economic dynamics of French medium-sized industrial towns. Thus, far from widespread decline or shrinking dynamics, some of these cities are experiencing an economic rebound. This is the case of Romans-sur-Isère, a medium-sized town located in the south-east of France. Focusing our qualitative analyze on this city, we try to understand this type of process. In this medium-sized town, former capital of the shoe industry, local stakeholders, private, and public try to support a productive renewal. The results of our case study highlight the role that cooperation, spatial and organizational proximity, and social innovation could play in the renewal of productive economy in medium-sized industrial towns. Even if the economic situation remains difficult for many medium-sized cities in France as in Europe, we argue that they could have a productive future making and ultimately take advantages of their “medium-sized” attributes.
Citizenship and Cities: The Torch of a Sustainable Future
Cameron, Ken
In this presentation given at SFU on September 24, 2018, adjunct professor Ken Cameron introduces his new book, Showing the Way: Peter Oberlander and the Imperative of Global Citizenship. Through the previously unpublished story of Oberlander's progression from persecution and internment to becoming a pioneer in Canadian urbanism, Cameron's book elucidates the remarkable evolution of the concept of citizenship over the past 100 years. Cameron's lecture focuses on the meaning of citizenship today as a set of rights and responsibilities we must exercise at the local, national and international levels if humanity is to survive the forces of nativism, intolerance and protectionism now sweeping our world.

Cities in a Sea of Uncertainty: Growing the Conversation on Regional Planning and Governance in Metro Vancouver
McDougall, Katelyn
Mussell, Linda
Yang, Sherry
Metro Vancouver is growing rapidly and urban development patterns may no longer align with the regional vision that has helped shape the area’s land use over the last 50 years. This study explores some recent land use and transportation decisions in Metro Vancouver, as well as the political dynamics and decision-making processes that have influenced the region through a series of case studies. Specifically, this report aims to summarize the current state of the region in the context of land use and transportation planning decisions and the intergovernmental collaboration and processes underpinning these decisions. This report also examines the success and legacy of the “Cities in a Sea of Green Vision” LMRPB vision and pathways forward.
Urban Challenges Forum 5 (January 17, 2017)—Riverfront Remake: What Vision is the City Crafting, and for Whom?
Edwards, Gail
McCullough, Robert
Seaweed, Dave
New Westminster’s most significant cultural, economic and natural asset, the riverfront, is slated for major change. How is the city going to balance history, housing, business and tourism, while creating a vibrant and welcoming space for all? Watch the videos below to see how this discussion took shape at the Urban Challenges Forum on January 17, 2018.
Urban Challenges Forum 4 (November 15, 2017)—Truth and Reconciliation: Cities and Citizens
Truth and Reconciliation is spoken about a lot, but what does it actually mean for cities and individual citizens? Learn some uncomfortable truths of New Westminster history, how the city is responding to Truth and Reconciliation, and why it’s the responsibility of all citizens to effect change.
Urban Challenges Forum 3 (October 18, 2017)—The Cost of Moving People and Goods: Who Pays?
Firth, Daniel
Transportation infrastructure is a hot button topic in Metro Vancouver. Paying for transit, bridges, tunnels, roads and moving goods and people costs money. So, who pays for it all? How will mobility pricing work in the City of New Westminster? How will the cost affect the average consumer? Watch the videos from the Urban Challenges Forum 3 to learn how this part of a bigger conversation unfolded at this Urban Challenges Forum.
Urban Challenges Forum 2 (March 30, 2017)—Fentanyl: Breaking the Cycle
Somers, Julian
The fentanyl crisis is new, but the opioid crisis is not. Watch the videos below to learn about how fentanyl fits within a pattern of opioid crises that goes back to the 1970s; the overlapping issues of homelessness, addiction, mental illness and criminality; how police are responding and the ethical challenges they face; and long-term solutions based on a practical understanding of the larger issues.
Urban Challenges Forum Session 1 - Housing: What Have We Done?
Dench, Sarah
Cote, Jonathan
Moore, Joseph
This public forum provided a hard look at the political, historical and social roots of the homelessness crisis in Canada and the Metro Vancouver region and explored how our perception of housing has shifted from home to commodity. Also discussed was how the City of New Westminster has emerged as a leader in fighting homelessness.

Placing RP on war footing with China’s
Ninez Cacho-Olivares 01/31/2012
Noynoy is really endangering the country not only be risking economic sanctions from China that may even lead to war with the Philippines in the middle of it all, but also virtually giving the country away — and for a song — to the no longer great god America by considering (probably a done deal by this time) to make this country an American base for spy planes or drones, which could kill many innocent Filipinos, just as these drones have done in Pakistan and Iraq and other some such places where the American military is still around.
Already, that report that emanated from the Washington Post and confirmed by Malacañang, albeit claiming Noynoy is still “mulling” over the expanded military presence, has raised the hackles of China, as gleaned from the Communist Party paper, Global Times, although Chinese diplomatese tempered the Chinese government’s reaction to the offer from the Philippines to the US, calling for greater efforts toward “peace and stability” in the region, after the Philippines offered to allow more American troops on its territory.....

Russia opposes 'Libyan scenario' in Syria and will block resolution
Russia will not bargain with the West over the fresh draft resolution on Syria, says Russia’s deputy foreign minister. The draft in its current form ignores the Russian position and therefore, has no chance of being accepted, Gennady Gatilov said.
"It is not part of our political practice to trade our principles," Gatilov said on Monday as cited by Interfax. "We don't bargain, but seek consideration for our positions and our vision, which are based on our knowledge of regional realities and our historical experience.”
"Russia can only support the resolution if it fixes Russia's principled approaches, which I have mentioned and which are shared by many other countries," he added..... MORE

Indefinite detention and torture: US already enforcing NDAA
Not even a month after President Barack Obama signed his name to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, the US government is already using the legislation to justify its ongoing detainment of a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay.
Musa'ab al-Madhwani had barely entered adulthood when he first arrived at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 2002. But in the months between his capture in Pakistan and transfer to Gitmo, the Yemeni national experienced more than most would see in a lifetime. Before he turned 23, he says he was beaten and kicked, threatened with death and suspended by his hands in an underground torture chamber..... MORE

Impeachment trial

Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 01/31/2012
It does not require much brainwork to know and conclude that the now ongoing impeachment trial costs money — money that certainly does not come from any of those directly and indirectly invoked therein. Instead, they are nonchalantly and conveniently taken from the direct and/or indirect taxes of every baby, child, teenager and adult in the Philippines. Never mind if they have barely enough money to buy their food, to pay for their clothes and shelter.
Never mind if their fathers and/or mothers cannot even find work, cannot in fact afford sending them to school, cannot buy the medicines they need and do not even find any relief in the ever rising prices of prime commodities — their little energy/fuel consumption included.
In other words, never mind if the impeachment case is undertaken more by way of vindictiveness than the honest-to-goodness search for truth and the due application of justice...... MORE
Palparan’s ‘lawyer’ claims missing UP students alive
“If it is false, it’s an insensitive and irresponsible claim designed to confuse and raise false hopes. It could be a cheap shot to incorrectly undermine the charges. But if true, which is good, it raises even more questions though.” – Edre Olalia, private prosecutor
By RONALYN V. OLEA
MALOLOS CITY, Bulacan – After five years and a half of searching for her daughter, Erlinda Cadapan would have been overjoyed after being told that her dearest Sherlyn and companion Karen Empeño, the two missing University of the Philippines (UP) students, are still alive.
But the news came from one of the purported lawyers of retired Gen. Jovito Palparan Jr., the main suspect in the abduction of the two UP students.
In the January 30 hearing at the Bulacan Regional Trial Court branch 14, lawyer Jesus Santos said, “Last night, I was informed that the alleged victims are alive. If [petition for] preliminary investigation is allowed, [we will prove that] the alleged victims are alive, then what is the crime committed?”
Judge Teodora Gonzales said Santos’s statement is mere information not supported by facts. Santos replied, “If this information would be right, it’s the end [of the case].”
Surprised, one of the private prosecutors Edre Olalia stood up and said, “If the bare allegation is true, charges of kidnapping and serious illegal detention still hold…Assuming it is true, it would not in any way affect the case.”
Judge Gonzales told Santos, “Unless the victims are produced, the statement would not hold water.”
Immediately after the hearing, Mrs. Cadapan approached Santos and said, “You’re already old. Do not lie anymore.”
“It is difficult to take their words. What I want is the truth. If they know where Sherlyn is, why did they not surface her earlier? I have been searching for more than five years. They have been lying to us for so long. If it is true, why did they not bring my daughter and Karen to court?” Mrs. Cadapan said in an interview after the hearing.
Mrs. Cadapan noted that Santos did not provide the source of information and any details regarding the whereabouts of Karen and Sherlyn. ..... MORE

The BPO backlash
Ken Fuller 01/31/2012
Last week, this column argued that many Philippine commentators on economic affairs fail to think “outside the box.” Due to ideological commitment, some voluntarily submit to the narrow horizons of the current, dysfunctional “export-oriented” economic model, imposed by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund decades ago. Others have simply abandoned hope that the Philippines will embark upon the path of genuine development.
Take, for example, the concern regarding the Call Center Worker and Consumer Protection Bill currently before the US Congress.
In 2011, business process outsourcing (BPO) revenue in the Philippines was $9 billion, no less than 4.5 percent of gross domestic product. Some 900 BPO firms employ 1.1 million Filipinos, around 60 percent of whom are call center agents. This country, being the world’s third largest provider, has 15 percent of the market share......

SC justice files libel case vs journalist
A libel complaint was filed yesterday before a Manila court by Supreme Court Associate Justice Presbitero Velasco Jr. against journalist Marites Vitug.
The complaint arose after Vitug, in her book, claimed, among others, that over his years in the judiciary, lawyers and judges gave Velasco the monicker “practicing justice,” referring to his frequent visits to his former law firm when he was a Court of Appeals (CA) justice.
In a two-page information, Assistant City Prosecutor Jose Nelson Todas found probable cause to indict Vitug, citing as evidence her own book, “Shadow of Doubt,” launched two years ago..... MORE

Presence of US troops in RP not aimed against China — AFP
By Mario J. Mallari and Fernan J. Angeles 01/31/2012
The Department of National Defense (DND) yesterday doused fears that the planned increased military presence of the United States in the Asia-Pacific Region, particularly in the Philippines through more military exercises, was aimed against China which has expressed concerns over the plan.
At a press briefing, DND spokesman Peter Paul Galvez said the Philippines is pushing for stability and peace in the Asia Pacific region as he stressed that the planned increased US military presence coupled with the ongoing capability upgrade and modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) are not directed against any nation.
“Of course, we are after peace and stability in the region. That is our priority,” Galvez said. “…The increased US presence is really for the exercises, along with the equipment we are buying, we need to know more, we need to train how to use these things properly. There are new concepts of operations, there are some techniques that we don’t know yet, that is the primary reason.”.... MORE

Solon slams China media’s threat to ‘sanction’ Philippines
Zambales Rep. Ma. Milagros “Mitos” Magsaysay yesterday slammed an editorial by the China Global Times pushing the Chinese government to sanction the Philippines over its increased ties with the United States in terms of improving the country’s defense capabilities, saying China has no right to impose punishment on the Philippines since we are an independent country and not under their control.
“China has no right to impose sanctions on the Philippines because we are not under their control. We are an independent nation and thus, do not serve for their pleasure,” Magsaysay said.
However, the solon urged the government to rethink its decision to undergo more joint exercises in the country as well as allowing American soldiers to rotate around the country and expressed alarm that this might jeopardize the safety and security of the Philippines and make it a target by enemies of the United States.....

Tupas snubs JBC meeting
A meeting between members of the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) proceeded smoothly despite the different sides that members of the collegial body are standing on the impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona.
Two JBC members are firmly lodged on the prosecution’s side, namely Iloilo Rep. and Justice Committee Chairman Niel Tupas Jr. and possible prosecution witness Justice Secretary Leila de Lima.
Court spokesman Jose Midas Marquez said “Everything was normal they had the agenda so they just went through the agenda. It was business as usual for the JBC.”.... MORE

Immigration bars 980 aliens from entering RP
By Conrado Ching 01/31/2012
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) barred more than 900 foreigners from entering the country in 2011 in the different ports of entry nationwide.
BI Commissioner Ricardo David said that a total of 980 foreigners were refused entry last year, compared to the 640 who were excluded in 2010.
David attributed the rise in the number of excluded aliens to the increased vigilance of immigration officers who screen arriving foreigners in the various airports and seaports..... MORE

A Brief Note on the History of Marina Lifts and Capacity
by Markus McDowell | May 2, 2016 | Marina | 2 comments
Why do Wiggins marina lifts have the reputation as the safest and most stable in the world?
Over the next few posts, we’ll take a brief look at the history of lift capacity and the differences between lifting a boat and lifting other loads.
From Lifting Pallets to Lifting Boats
About 35-years ago, the first modern “marina forklifts” were built. Like today, they designed like regular forklifts, modified to pick up boats. Those “regular” lifts worked with loads that usually had a center of gravity near the physical center. That center of gravity is the “load center,” and became the standard way of discussing capacity.
Imagine a pallet of bricks on a forklift, set back against the carriage. If the pallet is 48” x 48” and weights 5,000 lbs, then the load center 24” out from the carriage. So you need a forklift that can lift 5,000 lbs at 24” load center. (How high out can lift the pallet is another consideration—the higher you raise a load, the more capacity is needed. More on that later.)
Regular forklift capacities became standardized at 24” or 36” load centers. For larger loads, this was increased by building bigger lifts with heavier counterweights. Still, most loads had their load centers somewhere near the center, and were usually easy to calculate.
There are other factors to be considered. A forklift is not a teeter-totter (or see-saw) which simply lifts a load up and then puts it down. It accelerates, moves, brakes, turns, and goes up and down slopes. This all affects the center of gravity. If you want a forklift to be stable, it has to be built beyond the stated capacity. Specifications are one thing—stable and safe operation in the field is another.
Wiggins Lift has always designed and manufactured our lifts far beyond our competitors’ ratings. Safety and performance in the field are a matter of pride for us. A non-Wiggins lift may be cheaper, but it will not be safer or perform as well.
Designing to Lift Boats
When the first marina lifts were manufactured, the same capacity terminology was used. But boats are quite different from other loads. Their centers of gravity are often not anywhere near the center of the boat. They are far longer than most normal loads. Every boat is different, not only in OEM options, but owner additions (larger tanks, generators, appliances, etc.) Boat manufacturer are concerned about displacement, overall-length, beam, and so on. The center of gravity of a boat is not as important to them as to us, and not always easy to calculate for marina lift operations.
Early manufacturers found that to design a forklift for a 20’ boat, the forklift had to be rated 96” load centers! Moreover, longer boats placed more stress on the lift through additional leverage, resulting in bent forks, broken mast bearings, and other damage. Not only did the capacity at load center need to be moved out, but the lifting mechanisms needed to be beefed up. Wiggins Lift has always been at the forefront of these developments, and that why we have the reputation for the toughest and safest marina lifts in the world.
As marinas needed to move larger and larger boats, the forklift capacities had to increase: 6,000 lbs at 96” load center, then 8,000 lbs, 10,000 lbs, and even 12,000 lbs.
You might be thinking that a 96” load center doesn’t make a lot of sense with boats beyond 20 feet long. And you would be right. If a marina owner want to lift 25,000-pound boats which are 35’ to 45’ long, along with a strong enough mast and carriage, the capacity would need to be 25,000 lbs at a 96” load center. That’s an 8’ load center, which makes little sense for a 40’ boat. (We are not aware of any 20’ boats that weigh 25,000 lbs!).
Another Way of Determining Capacity
Still, these are the terms we are stuck with after such long usage. However, Wiggins has used an additional capacity measurement, specifically designed for boats, for about ten years. Along with the standard capacity rating of 96”, this rating gives you a leverage rating and gives you a more accurate measurement to determine what lift you need for your marina, and what boat you can safely transport.
We’ll discuss this capacity measurement in our next post.

The Last Doctor Who Review (For The Time Being)
We keep getting exterior long shots of a Cyberman in a cave. (Actually, we keep getting the same long shot of Cyberman in a cave.) In the darkness, lit up by some kind of spotlight, it looks very silver, very shiny, very real.
It is eight years since the Cybermen last appeared on TV: an eternity in TV years. They are part of the past of the series; something our elder brothers remember; as irretrievable and canonical as shillings, and food-rationing. Yet here they are: on the screen, looking just as they did on the Weetabix picture cards and the Target book covers, silver suits and eye holes and handlebar ears.
Genesis of the Daleks was about the Daleks. It may have deconstructed their origin but it was interested in what a Dalek was and why. Revenge of the Cybermen is not remotely interested in the Cybermen: they exist only because they are icons. Like the Daleks they are "utterly ruthless", "total machine creatures", who think they are "destined to be rulers of all the cosmos." Sometimes, they remember that they are evil science fiction robots and say things like "maximum urgency imperative." But a lot of the time, they just sneer like any other super-bad-guy.
"You are about to die in the biggest explosion ever witnessed in this solar system. It will be a magnificent spectacle. Unhappily, you will be unable to appreciate it."
The sheer creepiness of the creatures who rose from their tombs on Telos, humans who have let themselves become machines, is long forgotten. The eerie, barely audible high pitched mechanical voices ("You will become like us") have been replaced by actors shouting from under masks. Even the Doctor finds them more ridiculous than threatening. The previous story repositioned the Daleks as emotionless creatures of pure evil. A good title for this one might have been Redundancy of the Cybermen.
A large amount of Episode Three is taken up with a battle between the Cybermen and the gold-mining-dwarves who inhabit the caves. It is not choreographed: it is a montage of guns going off and dwarves falling over. But it is very dramatic: a little like the legendary Dalek vs Mechanoid battle at the end of The Chase.
It looks real because it is real. Some actors dressed up as Cybermen and some other actors dressed up as dwarves and they went down Wooky Hole. (This was before Chewbacca). They pretended to have a fight and Elisabeth Sladen fell in the water and for a few seconds she was in serious danger. Old Doctor Who is doubtless very silly and very tacky and very amateurish; but the word that keeps occurring to me in these scenes is documentary.
We are back on the Ark, retrospectively re-purposed as a sort of space-light-house preventing people crashing into Jupiter's new satellite. It is the Very Far Future: but it is the sort of Very Far Future where people still wear patent leather shoes and keep box-files on their book shelves. At first it looks like everyone on the Beacon is being wiped out by a plague; but then it turns out that they are being poisoned by more than usually unconvincing Cybermats. It is quite hard to keep track of which human is which, but one of them is in charge and one of them is a scientist and one of them is a traitor. It feels like the kind of thing Patrick Troughton would have got involved with: boring scientists, gleaming monochrome corridors, a base, as it were, under siege.
But then we shift to the planet Voga, Jupiter's new satellite. A younger, militaristic dwarf wants to emerge from the caves and fire missiles at the Cybermen. An older, more sensible dwarf, wants to stay underground where it is safe. This all feels like the kind of theatrical costume drama we used to get when the Doctor was still known as Grandfather. The older dwarf literally hobbles around the stage with a long white beard and a walking stick. The masks and the make-up put one in mind of Peter Hall's legendary Orestia. (This was before Peter Hall's legendary Orestia.) If you don't have a problem with high artifice and theatricality, its really nicely done:
--You made clandestine contact with aliens, and you beamed radio transmissions out into space. There are no greater crimes in our calendar.
--In your calendar, Tyram! Your cowering, furtive, underworld life. If we survive, I will face trial gladly. I will give the people my reasons. I wanted to free them from this tyranny of dark, living rock.
--Living the way we had for generations, at least we were safe, Vorus. Safe from the genocidal threat of the Cybermen.
--I had a dream.
--A folly, conceived out of arrogance through overweening ambition.
And so on, for weeks at a time.
I will defend Revenge of the Cybermen to anybody.
It has one very big logical flaw. The dwarves -- oh, all right, if you insist, the Vogans -- live on a planet made entirely of gold. This makes them the implacable enemies of the Cybermen: Gold is to Cybermen as Kryptonite is to Vampires.
The Gold thing is presented as if it were a fact which everyone already knows. Indeed the Doctor tells us that the Cybermen were defeated at the end of the Last Great Cyber War as a result of Humans armed with Glitter Guns with such confidence that diligent Who fans go scuttling off to their episode guides to check which story this happened in. It didn't happen in any story. The idea that the Cyberpeople die if you wave a lump of gold in their general direction was made up for this story. (It spoiled the Cybermen for years to come.)
But in Episode Three the Cybermen attack the Vogan's planet; and the Vogans despair that their weapons are useless. But the entire planet is made of the Anti-Cyberman Metal.
This is clearly a plot hole. But it is not the kind of plot hole that obliterates the story, or even really impacts on it. It doesn't make sense, but it doesn't matter.
It has been my argument that Doctor Who while it is sometimes other things as well is primarily and irreducibly a children's tea time adventure serial. Specific details may change -- from space fascists to space robots to space dwarves. But you aren't expected to necessarily keep up with the plot, or even remember which story you are in. No-one can be expected to catch every single episode, but every episode is recognizably an episode of Doctor Who,
This is a story in which gold mining dwarves and silver robots kill each other in location shots in caves. A story which ends with the dwarves aiming a missile at the Ark while the Cybermen plan to crash the Ark, loaded with bombs, onto the planet Voga. (The Doctor is on the Ark; Sarah-Jane and Harry are on the planet.) Sarah-Jane falls sick with a space plague that makes the veins on her face glow red; the Doctor has a planet busting bomb strapped to his shoulders and is forced to go down to the very centre of the planet Voga. In order, apparently, to fragmentize it. The Doctor has to talk the rather dense people on the planet's surface through the process of directing the missile away from the Ark and into the Cybermen's spaceship; and then personally steer the bomb-loaded space station away from the planet, in a scene that is part roller-coaster ride and part computer game. (This was before computer games.)
As a children's tea-time adventure serials go, it doesn't get much better than this. If you are over-worried that the Vogans didn't think to use their gold against the Cybermen you are probably not the target audience.
Imagine Tom Baker without a scarf.
Or, imagine Tom Baker, as originally imagined, with a sensible, normal length, collegiate scarf.
The rest of his costume is smart: stylish, even. The velvet jacket; the elbow pads; the cravat; the watch-chain. The hat is a little over-large, but it matches. Take away the scarf, and you have an English professor, or maybe an espresso guzzling perpetual student.
But the scarf: less an item of clothing, more a trademark. He wears it all the time, regardless of the weather. (Who on earth keeps a scarf on indoors?)
Tom Baker talks about Homo Sapiens. Tom Baker worries about destroying sentient life-forms and murdering infants in their cradles. And yes, there is a childish insolence about him. When Sarah-Jane says "It's good to see you?" he says "Is it?" which is the sort of thing schoolboys get slapped for. His pockets contain jelly babies, an apple core, and a yo-yo: we only need some conkers to complete the set. And there are a couple of daft ad libs. Having knocked a Cyberman out by putting gold dust in its respirator, and with only seven minutes to save the universe, he pauses to quote five words of Macbeth. ("Dusty death, out out, brief...") It isn't clear who in the audience is meant to pick up on this. But the Scarf marks him off as strange, eccentric, silly; and as the years roll on, the scarf will come to dominate his characterization.
Tom Baker will not be remembered as the Shakespearean One, the Philosophical One, the Melancholic One—even the Annoying One. History will remember him only as the One With The Scarf.

Something not quite right here, I think.
I've very much enjoyed this series by the way.
Five words.
This is literally what Tom says, though: "Dusty death, out out, brief". Which come in the middle of a line: "And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death: out out brief candle."
Macbeth is so astonishingly rich in well-known phrases that it sometimes reads like a sort of joke "Shakespeare's greatest hits" — "all our yesterdays", "the way to dusty death" and "out out brief candle" are all stand-outs in their own right, and having them all in the space of single sixteen-word sentence is just ridiculous. (I had much the same feeling about the last few minutes of Casablanca.)

‘Constitutional Court to be operational’
ATTORNEY General Likando Kalaluka.
‘CATHERINE MUMBA, Lusaka
ATTORNEY-GENERAL Likando Kalaluka has assured that the country will have an operational Constitutional Court and Court of Appeal before the August 11 general elections.
And Mr Kalaluka says the decision to exclude deputy ministers in the new constitution is not a lacuna but a deliberate decision by Zambians who deemed the positions an expense.
Speaking when he featured on the Sunday Interview on Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) television, Mr Kalaluka said his office, in collaboration with the Judiciary and the Judicial Service Commission, will soon come up with a bill to be introduced to Parliament next week to operationalise the two courts.
“Hopefully the bill will be passed and we will have a fully operational Constitutional Court and Court of Appeal before the polls,†Mr Likando said.
He said, during the same period, the Judicial Service commissioners will be working round the clock to see who can be appointed as judges to run the two courts.
He said the two courts cannot operate without an Act of Parliament, which describes the processes and procedures for which it will be run.
Mr Kalaluka said any issues that require to be dealt with by a Constitutional Court before it is operationalised will be handled either by the Supreme Court or High Court since it was only introduced last month when President Lungu assented to the constitutional amendments.
And commenting on the exclusion of deputy minister in the new constitution, Mr Kalaluka said it was a deliberate decision made by Zambians who deemed it an expense.
Mr Kalaluka said by operation of the law, deputy ministers will continue performing their duties until parliament is dissolved.
He, however, said after the August 11 elections, Zambia will not have deputy ministers.
“But we now have a new law that permits an individual to petition parliament to do an amendment to any law, so people who do not agree with this law can call for an amendment,†Mr Kalaluka said.
He said any member of Parliament (MP) who loses his seat by either resigning or being lawfully expelled from his political party will be barred from recontesting it in a by-election.
Mr Kalaluka said this law will make MPs remain loyal to political parties that sponsored them to get the seat and reduce unnecessary by-elections.
He appealed to various stakeholders to educate people on the referendum which will be held alongside the general elections and urged Zambians to first assess how the new constitution will work for the nation before calling for other amendments.

Fish Tacos Are Just Part of Mexican Food Tale
October 1, 2009 by jim.pickell
Filed under Blog, Press
Special to The Bee
PUBLISHED WEDNESDAY, MAY. 13, 2009
Mouth Watering
As well as surf, sand and sun, another thing you can count on when you spend much of winter at the southern reaches of the Baja peninsula is an endless supply of fish tacos.
Casting for yellowtail, dorado, sierra and other varieties that provide the meat of a fish taco, after all, long has been the principal lure of Los Cabos, the sunny fishing settlements of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas at the tip of Baja California Sur, where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean mesh.
I couldn’t wait. On the drive from Sacramento, I began to eat fish tacos south of Coalinga and continued through San Diego, Ensenada, San Quintin, Guerrero Negro and other coastal cities recognized for their seafood.
No question, fish tacos constitute a quick and convenient meal, customarily consisting of a few pieces of battered and fried fish tucked inside a corn tortilla. The dressings generally include shredded cabbage and a mayonnaise-based sauce. Assorted optional additions are wedges of lime, slices of cucumber, pico de gallo and a wide range of hot sauces.
“There may be no experience on Earth that quite matches the pleasure of an afternoon spent wandering around the Ensenada fish market, sluicing fish tacos down with oceans of slush-cold Tecate beer and watching locals haggle over yellowtail tuna and horse mackerel,” wrote Pulitzer Prize-winning restaurant critic Jonathan Gold.
I now suspect, however, that Gold was smitten more with the scene, the sunshine and the cerveza than the fish tacos.
By the time I got to Los Cabos, I not only had my fill of fish tacos, I was convinced they’re the most boring item of the Mexican diet.
Just when, where and by whom the fish taco was hatched is a matter of debate in culinary circles, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the inventor was an enterprising street vendor responding to touring gringos who prefer their food readily identifiable, convenient, pale, bland, fried and cheap, requisites met quite neatly by the standard fish taco.
Sure, over the ensuing months, we again ate fish tacos, especially at two landmark Baja taquerias celebrated for their fish, shrimp and scallop tacos: Taqueria Rossy and Cabo Mama Surf Tacos. Both were within walking distance of our casa in San Jose del Cabo.
But our diet branched out as we explored other aspects of Mexican cuisine, both ancient and modern.
“Don’t eat the street food,” warned an ex-pat American schoolteacher I ran into on a morning walk soon after we arrived. It was advice not difficult to heed when it came to neon-colored clouds of cotton candy, but easy to forget when the choice was succulent and spicy tacos al pastor – slices of marinated pork stacked on a spit, fired by a gas-fueled flame and quickly cut into thin strips that fly deftly into a palmed tortilla, often topped with a chunk of pineapple flicked from atop the cone of meat.
Mexican cuisine as frequently interpreted in California is pedestrian and heavy – tacos of oily ground beef, tamales with more masa than filling, burritos big enough to double as pontoons on a fishing boat. Granted, some California chefs appreciate that cooking in Mexico is largely regional, and frequently fresher, lighter and more varied than versions we see routinely in the United States.
But after three months in San Jose del Cabo, I wouldn’t try to codify a “Baja cuisine.” As Mexican regions go, Baja California Sur is too young, modern, diverse and dynamic for any one cluster of dishes to represent the state, or for even a defined style of cooking to have evolved.
Yet I sensed four currents of Mexican cooking coursing through Baja California Sur:
• Simply prepared seafood inspired by proximity to the Sea of Cortez, with its varied bounty of fish and its expansive white beaches, where local families have camped on weekends and holidays for generations. On the beach, the catch may be grilled quickly, then tossed onto a tortilla with a homemade salsa and a dash or two of hot sauce. In one of the region’s artfully ambitious restaurants, the seafood is apt to be prepared and presented with more precision, such as parrotfish steamed in banana leaves, topped with a pesto of cilantro and cashews, and accompanied with a ratatouille of prickly pear.
• Despite the area’s emphasis on seafood, more beef is prepared in gutsy and rustic hacienda ways than you might expect along a warm coastline. Baja, however, continues to celebrate its ranching culture, which remains alive despite the sparse forage of the desert and the encroachment of condominiums.
(Much of the state, incidentally, still is open range, something to keep in mind as you drive along the coast, your eyes diverted by multimillion-dollar “villas” rising above the beaches.)
• No matter how casual or how grand, few restaurants of Los Cabos are without at least a dish or two from other regions of Mexico, recognition that much of the area’s population, whether permanent or seasonal, consists of people who have arrived in cars with license plates saying Nuevo León, Michoacán, Jalisco, Sinaloa, Sonora or some other mainland state.
• By the same token, the 18-mile stretch of Highway 1 between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas is dotted with tony seaside resorts whose clientele is in large part international, thereby helping account for the Italian, Japanese, Chinese, French and Thai restaurants in and about the two cities.
If Mexican food frequently is knocked as “unhealthy” it isn’t for its content so much as its vivid flavors, which invite overindulgence. Many of the staples of the Mexican diet are marvelously wholesome – avocados, tomatillos, tomatoes, beans, corn – and their preparation often retains their nutrients without adding too much distracting impact from butter, sugar, salt and the like.
The two supermarkets we frequented had terrific produce sections, their bins sagging with pineapples, papayas, cantaloupes and other vitamin-dense fruits. A subsection of one produce department included more than 20 fresh herbs, some familiar (minty yerba buena, earthy epazote) and some new to me (ruda, said to be favored by the Aztecs as a cure for intestinal ailments).
For every downtown cart selling ice cream, another would be dispensing fresh-sliced watermelon and mango. The most popular breakfast destination along the blue-collar street Valerio González Canseco was a café specializing in take-away jugos and licuados, its entrance crowded with sacks of oranges.
And just try to find some traditional “manteca de cerdo,” or lard rendered from pork. When I asked its whereabouts at one of the supermarkets I was shown to an aisle lined with jars of “manteca vegetal comestible,” or vegetable shortening. There wasn’t a tablespoon of lard to be found in the place.
But as I began to prepare beans that called specifically for lard, I remembered a nearby open-air café where the specialty is carnitas, chunks of pork fried in large caldrons of oil alongside the sidewalk out front. The place does a huge business, and I got to speculating that it must have some lard it would be willing to give up.
Sure enough, the cooks at El Michoacano saw me coming, and had a kilo of old- fashioned pork fat in my hands before I completely got out my request in my halting Spanish. The plastic container was dented, its top torn, and it had to be kept in a plastic bag in the refrigerator because there was almost as much lard on the outside as inside. Like oak with wine, a little lard goes a long way, and that kilo was far more than I needed during our three-month sojourn.
No, there’s much more to Baja cookery than fish tacos. As we neared the end of our stay, I returned to the most historic and alluring place to shop for food in San Jose del Cabo, the Alberto A. Alvarado Aramburo Mercado Municipal, the old-time communal market in the middle of the city.
In addition to produce stands and Tortilleria Erika, it includes Marlene Cremeria y Polleria for chicharron, chorizo, chicken and cheese, Carniceria Dos Arbolitos for carne de puerco, New York rib-eye, machaca and other cuts, Sinaloa Fish Market for cabrilla, chica, huachinango, camaron, atun and other seafood, and a food court with 10 small stalls, most of which are named for and overseen by women – Marbella, Sonia, Ely.
I walked up and down the central corridor, scanning the menu boards while debating with myself about what to order for one last late breakfast in San Jose del Cabo. Should it be caldo de camaron, bisteck con nopales, rojo pozole or blanco pozole, chilies rellenos, menudo?
Fish tacos weren’t among the options, but chilaquiles was, and at a table in front of the stall Luncheria ZuLema that’s what I ordered, with a verde sauce, two fried eggs and a tall tumbler of freshly made orange juice.
It was the perfect send-off. The accompanying salsas were blistering hot, the chopped cilantro fresh, the white onion sweet, the eggs precise, and the chilaquiles – basically triangles of leftover tortillas simmered in a zesty tomatillo sauce – had the elusively correct texture, slightly chewy and hauntingly toasty.
Now there’s a dish of challenge and invention, just the item to keep me fueled and interested on the drive back to Sacramento.
Pescado a la Veracruzana
While most closely identified with the Mexican coastal city of Veracruz, this classic seafood entree can be prepared wherever meaty fish fillets can be found. We generally used cabrilla, sometimes called flag cabrilla, a member of the grouper family caught in the Sea of Cortez off San José del Cabo. Serve with a fruity albarino, pinot grigio, chenin blanc or sauvignon blanc. This recipe is adapted from “Authentic Mexican” by Rick Bayless with Deann Groen Bayless (Morrow, $30 384 pages).
Note: Prep time does not include the 1-hour marinate time for the fish.
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless meaty fish fillets like red snapper or halibut, preferably in 4 pieces, each 1/2-inch thick
Freshly squeezed lime juice and a little salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, preferably part olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 pounds (4 medium-large) ripe tomatoes, roasted or boiled, peeled and cored, or three 15-ounce cans good-quality tomatoes, lightly drained
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
20 meaty green olives (preferably manzanillo), pitted and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons large Spanish capers
2 medium pickled chilies (jalapeños), stemmed, seeded and sliced into strips
1 tablespoon pickling juices from the chilies
1 1/2 teaspoons mixed dried herbs, such as marjoram and thyme
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus a few springs for garnish
1-inch cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, very coarsely ground
1 cup light-flavored fish broth, bottled clam juice or water
Salt, if necessary
Rinse the fillets, lay them in a noncorrosive dish and sprinkle them with lime juice and salt. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, 7 or 8 minutes.
While the onion is cooking, cut the peeled fresh tomatoes in half crosswise and squeeze out the seeds into a strainer set over a small bowl. Cut the tomatoes into 1-inch pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Collect all the juices on the cutting board and add to the tomatoes, along with those strained from the seeds. Canned tomatoes need only be lightly drained, then cut into 1-inch pieces, collecting the juices as you go.
Add the garlic to the lightly browned onion and stir for a minute or so, then add the tomatoes and their juice. Simmer for 5 minutes to reduce some of the liquid.
Divide the olives and capers between two small bowls, and set one aside to use as garnish. To the other bowl, add the jalapeño strips, pickling juice, mixed herbs and chopped parsley. If you don’t wish to have the whole bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves or cracked pepper in the finished sauce, wrap them in cheesecloth and tie with a string; otherwise, add them directly to the bowl containing the herbs.
After the tomato mixture has simmered and reduced, add the olive/caper mixture which contains the jalapeño strips, pickling juice, herbs and spices (either loose or in cheesecloth). Add the fish broth (or clam juice or water). Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Taste and add salt if necessary and remove bay leaves and cinnamon stick (if added loose) or cheesecloth-wrapped spices.
Fifteen minutes before serving, remove the fillets from the refrigerator and rinse them again. Either poach them in the sauce on top of the stove or bake in the sauce, as follows:
Stove-top method: Nestle the fish fillets in the sauce so they are well covered. Set the lid on the pan and place over a medium heat. After 4 minutes, turn the fillets over, re-cover and cook 2 or 3 minutes longer, until a fillet will flake under firm pressure.
Baking method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place fillets in a single layer in a lightly greased baking dish. Spoon the sauce over them, cover with aluminum foil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the fish just flakes when pressed firmly with a fork at the thickest part.
Serve the poached or baked fillets on warm dinner plates with lots of the sauce, garnished with a sprinkling of the reserved capers and olives and a sprig of parsley.

Cook time: 30 to 45 minutes
Serves 6 to 8 (about 24 tacos)
Fine fish tacos are found at stands all about Baja California, customarily selling for less than $2 in U.S. currency. When you fish the Sea of Cortez, however, you have to do something with the seafood you don’t release.
While we were in San Jose del Cabo, a brightly polka- dotted, sleek, meaty and rich member of the mackerel family, the sierra, were running strong. We released nearly all of them, but kept a couple for tacos, their oily flavor more than compensated by the spiciness and sweetness of this batter, adapted from Deborah M. Schneider’s “Baja: Cooking on the Edge” (Rodale, 274 pages, $27.95). She says double-frying the fish is essential, but we found a single frying to be satisfactory.
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon dried whole Mexican oregano, rubbed to a powder
12 ounces (1 bottle) cold beer, plus more to thin the batter if necessary
2 pounds firm, meaty fish
Freshly squeezed lime juice
24 tortillas, preferably corn
To make the batter, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic, cayenne, mustard, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper until well blended. Stir in the beer until there are no lumps. (Batter may be made several hours ahead and refrigerated.)
Trim the fish of all blood lines and skin. Cut into pieces the size and shape of your index finger. Sprinkle with a few drops of lime juice and a little salt. (If not using immediately, wrap and refrigerate.)
Pour oil into a deep, wide pan to a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees. Use a deep-fry thermometer or test the heat by dropping a little of the batter into the oil. It should bounce to the surface almost immediately and be surrounded by little bubbles.
Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Check the thickness of the batter by dipping in one piece of the fish. The batter should be the consistency of medium-thick pancake batter, coating the fish easily but dripping very little. Add a little beer if the batter seems too thick.
Add the fish to the batter. Using tongs or chopsticks, swish each piece to make sure it is thoroughly coated, then lift it out of the batter, let it drip once, and lay the fish gently into the hot oil. Cook a few pieces at a time until they float and the batter is set but still very light in color. Pieces that stick to the bottom may need to be nudged with a spatula to release them.
Remove the fish to a rack to drain; reserve the frying oil. (The fish can be prepared ahead to this point, cooled on a rack, and refrigerated uncovered. Cool the oil and reserve.)
When you are ready to serve, reheat the oil to 350 to 360 degrees and refry the fish a few pieces at a time until crisp and golden brown.
To serve, hold a tortilla in your hand and add a few pieces of fish and the traditional accompaniments: shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, chopped white onion, cilantro, lime juice, mayonnaise-based sauce (mix together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 to 2 teaspoons white vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoons milk or water). Corn tortillas customarily are preferred for fish tacos.
Per serving based on 8 servings without accompaniments: 480 cal.; 31 g pro.; 60 g carb.; 11 g fat (2 sat., 3 monounsat., 6 polyunsat.); 36 mg chol.; 343 mg sod.; 5 g fiber; 3 g sugar; 22 percent calories from fat.
Chilaquiles verdes
Serves 2 as a main dish, 4 as a side dish
Chilaquiles verdes, a popular breakfast dish in Mexico City, can be dressed up for dinner by adding a couple of cups of shredded roasted chicken.
For this dish, the tortilla chips, sauce and crema can be prepared in advance, but simmer the final assembly just before serving to retain the dish’s proper texture.
This version was adapted from “Authentic Mexican” by Rick Bayless with Deann Groen Bayless (Morrow, $30, 384 pages).
Note: The prep and cook times include the time to make the salsa verde and the crèma espresa. The prep time also does not include the 16- to 28-hour set and chill time for the crèma espesa
6 medium-thick corn tortillas, preferably stale and store-bought
1 1/2 cups tomatillo sauce (salsa verde) (recipe follows)
1/2 cup boneless, cooked chicken, cut in chunks (optional)
1 large sprig epazote (optional)
1/4 cup thick crèma espesa (recipe follows), or commercial sour cream thinned with a little milk or cream
2 tablespoons crumbled Mexican queso fresco or queso anejo, or a cheese like feta or mild Parmigiano
1 thinly sliced onion, broken into rings
Cut tortillas into fourths. If they are moist, dry them out for a few minutes in a 350-degree oven until quite leathery.
Pour the oil into a medium-sized skillet set over medium-high heat. When hot enough to make the edge of a tortilla sizzle, add half the tortilla pieces. Turn them frequently until they are lightly browned and nearly crisp, then remove and drain on paper towels. Fry and drain the remaining tortilla pieces in the same fashion. Reduce the heat to medium-low and discard any oil that remains.
Return the tortilla pieces to the skillet and add the tomatillo sauce (salsa verde), broth, optional chicken and optional epazote. Stir well to coat the tortillas. Cover the skillet and simmer until the tortillas are soft but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
Scoop the mixture onto a warm serving platter. Drizzle with the crèma espesa, sprinkle with cheese and decorate with onion rings. Serve immediately.
Per serving based on 4 side dish servings without optional ingredients: 319 cal.; 5 g pro.; 26 g carb.; 23 g fat (5 sat., 6 monounsat., 12 polyunsat.); 9 mg chol.; 241 mg sod.; 4 g fiber; 3 g sugar; 63 percent calories from fat.
Salsa verde (tomatillo sauce)
1 pound (11 medium) fresh tomatillos, husked and washed
3 fresh chilies serranos or 2 fresh chilies jalapeños, stemmed
5 or 6 sprigs fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
1 large clove garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon lard or vegetable oil
1 or 2 cups poultry broth, less for a thicker salsa, more for a thinner
Salt, about 1/2 teaspoon, depending on the saltiness of the broth
Boil tomatillos and chilies in salted water to cover until tender, 10 to 15 minutes; drain.
Place the tomatillos and chilies in a blender or food processor, with the cilantro, onion and garlic. If using a blender, stir well. Process until smooth, but still retaining a little texture.
Heat lard or vegetable oil in a medium-large skillet set over medium-high. When hot enough to make a drop of the puree sizzle sharply, pour tomatillo mixture in all at once and stir constantly for 4 or 5 minutes, until darker and thicker. Add the broth, let return to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until thick enough to coat a spoon, 10 to 20 minutes. Season with salt.
Crèma espesa
2 tablespoons buttermilk
Pour the cream into a small saucepan, set over low heat and stir just until the chill is off; do not heat above 100 degrees (lukewarm). Stir in the buttermilk and pour into a glass jar.
Set the lid on the jar (but don’t tighten it) and place in a warm (80 degrees to 90 degrees) spot. Let the cream culture and set for 12 to 24 hours, until noticeably thicker (perhaps almost set like yogurt or sour cream). Stir gently, screw on the lid and refrigerate at least 4 hours to chill and complete the thickening.
Chayote with tomato and green chili
Can’t wait for that summer zucchini to arrive? Look around the supermarket for the Mexican vegetable chayote, which isn’t zucchini but is similarly flavored and textured, though it also suggests cucumber and melon, or a hybrid of all three. After seeing mounds of chayote in the markets of San Jose del Cabo, we went looking for a recipe, and found this side dish back home, at the Web site www.simplyrecipes.com (type chayote into the search field) of Sacramentan Elise Bauer.
1 pound chayotes
6 ounces roasted tomatoes (you can use canned fire roasted tomatoes, or roast whole tomatoes on stovetop or under broiler until skin begins to blacken; do not remove skin but process whole)
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 large green Anaheim chili pepper (stem and seeds removed and discarded), chopped (wear gloves).
Pinch red chili pepper flakes
1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro
1/4 cup finely grated Monterey Jack cheese
The peel of chayotes is tough and inedible even when cooked, so peel them completely. This may take a little doing, as the folds in the chayotes can make it difficult. Cut the chayotes into 1/4-inch-wide, 2-inch-long julienned strips, with or without the core.
Purée the roasted tomatoes and the garlic in a blender, set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and green chilies. Cook on medium heat until just soft, about 3 or 4 minutes.
Add the tomato mixture and red chili flakes, and continue to cook 3 minutes more. Add the chayote, water and salt to taste. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes. Add the chopped cilantro and cook for 5 minutes more. The chayote should be just tender, moist but not watery.
Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve.
Per serving: 126 cal.; 3 g pro.; 9 g carb.; 9 g fat (2 sat., 6 monounsat., 1 polyunsat.); 6 mg chol.; 191 mg sod.; 4 g fiber; 2 g sugar; 64 percent calories from fat.

John Douglas Armorial
This page was last updated on 02 November 2019
Biography finder
Index of first names
This page is a stub. You can help improve it.
According to Burke, this coat of arms was granted to a John Douglas in 1780, by the Albany Herald of Arms. However, there was an Albany Herald named John Douglas between 1768 and 1795.
This person may be Sir John Douglas a British officer of the Royal Marines, and the son of Louis Douglas, Esq. of Dalkeith in Scotland.
Sir John Douglas was born at Jean Fields, Dalkeith, near Edinburgh; he was the son of Louis Douglas, Esq.; his grandfather was a lord of Session. If the grandfather was also Lewis Douglas, then he was involved in the trial of Archibald Stewart for neglect of duty in 1745. Sir John became involved in the scandal of the alleged illegitimate child born to the Princess of Wales, Caroline of Brunswick.
Lewis Douglas of Garvald is mentioned in The Heraldry of the Douglases under person (86) in the Douglases of Cavers section.
Blazoning the Arms: The shield is the same as Douglas of Mains, except it features an engrailed green border containing eight golden crescents. The crest shows a black martlet. The motto of this Douglas is Sursum meaning “Upwards.”
Interpreting the Arms: Based upon the inclusion of the elements One may assume that this Douglas is a descendant off-shoot of the Mains branch of the Clan Douglas. The Martlet is a symbol of the fourth son and may signify one who has to subsist by virtue and merit, not inheritance. The engrailed line represents the earth or land. A Crescent signifies one who has been honoured by the sovereign; hope of greater glory. Knights returning from the crusades introduced the crescent, the badge of Islam, into the language of heraldry. Thus the crescent may have been incorporated into these arms because Sir John Douglas had served with the Turkish Army in the deserts around El Arish, and his coffin, decorated with the flag under which he served at Acre.
Research note:
• There appears to be a connection with Steuart Douglas 18 September 1781. John and Steuart are both mentioned in a handwritten note in the same book published in 1749.
• 13 Feb 1795 - In Monteith Close, Edinburgh, death of Mr John Douglas, Albany Herald, uncle of Sir Andrew Snape Douglas, Captain of the Royal Navy.
Thus he is be Dr William Douglas of Leith's brother.

Manchester City v Aston Villa Betting
The Premier League season is now drawing to a close however there are still plenty of meaningful games and some excellent betting opportunities. Below I have previewed two of the televised matches and recommended two bets which I perceive to be excellent value.
Manchester City v Aston Villa
The late Premier League game on Saturday takes place in Manchester as Manchester City host Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium. Amazingly Manchester City are fourth in the Premier League table after a really poor run of form, they’ve lost six of their last nine matches in all competitions. I think it’s likely that Manuel Pellegrini will get sacked at the end of the season.
Manchester City’s opponents, Aston Villa have improved as of late under new manager, Tim Sherwood. Villa have won five of their last eight matches and that includes a victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final last weekend. The squad’s confidence must be high and I’m slightly surprised to see Aston Villa priced as huge underdogs this weekend. Villa’s performance against Liverpool was excellent, based on that it’s hard to believe that they’re 15th in the Premier League table, however they look a much better side under Tim Sherwood.
Villa’s success has largely been down to Christian Benteke, if the talented Belgian is at the top of his game Villa have every chance in this match. Since Randy Lerner appointed Tim Sherwood as Villa manager, Christitan Benteke has scored more goals than any Premier League player. My recommended bet for this fixture is Aston Villa double chance at a very generous price of 3/1. I think it’s worth noting that Manchester City are missing Vincent Kompany and the likes of Wilfried Bony, James Milner and David Silva may not feature.
Recommended Bet: Aston Villa double chance – Bet365 @ 3/1 Click here for an upto £200 Matched Bet

TheShortList: 50BestMaster-Planned Communities in the United States
BY BRENT STOLLER with an introduction by Annette Fuller
See PDF of article here.
NEW NEIGHBOR WAS UNPACKING a moving van near Katrina and Chuck Hans in the Arlington Ridge active-adult community in Leesburg, FL. “He needed to use a dolly, and I was like, ‘We have one,’” Katrina says. “Then he needed a ladder and another neighbor said, ‘I have one.’ We look after each other. It’s like another family.”
The Hanses are two of the 92 people you are about to meet who have relocated to one of our 50 best master-planned communities across America. Their kind spirit is representative of the folks we interviewed. They clearly speak the same retirement relocation language.
Every other year in the July-August issue, Where to Retire provides a comprehensive look at the best of the best in master-planned living. Our office staff has been working on this issue for more than six months. This is our 11th listing; our first such feature was in 1999. We evaluated hundreds of communities, but chose only established neighborhoods with enough acreage to build at least a year’s supply of homes.
The developments are in 17 states, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in towns beautified by beaches, mountains, clear skies, lakes, rivers, rolling hills and other earthly assets. (See the Letter From the Editor on page 10 for more detailed data on the compilation.)
Some of our 50 are active-adult neighborhoods; others are all-ages. And some are a mix of the two, meaning an enclave of active-adult housing within a larger all-ages development.
A few logistics: The communities are listed alphabetically, by state and then by development name. This is not a ranking, so they are not numbered. Each has a short description, including interviews with residents. A databox shows home prices, websites and more. (Note that costs fluctuate; we provide here the latest figures available at press time.) The chart on pages 78 and 79 lists all 50 as well as a rundown of amenities, making comparisons easy.
When senior writer Brent Stoller interviewed the residents for this story, two people — one in North Carolina and another in Colorado — mentioned the same phenomenon, with no prompting from him. Both recounted how the development they were considering somehow resonated with them on a deeper level.
“It just spoke to me when we drove through the entrance,” says Michelle Schuller, of the first time she and husband Charles drove onto the grounds of Compass Pointe in Leland, NC. “It met all our needs.” The same thing happened to Scott and Diann Edwards when they were introduced to Toll Brothers at Inspiration in Aurora, CO. “We came out to Inspiration one day and toured, talked to people and looked at the home sites and the models, and it really kind of spoke to us,” Scott says. We hope our research and our story speak to you, too.
THE LURE Blue Ridge Mountain views inspire a blissful atmosphere in this development. The golf course makes the most of its beautiful setting, as elevated tee boxes give way to rolling fairways that ramble past waterfalls. Following workouts in the fitness center, matches on the tennis and pickleball courts or time in the community garden, residents retreat to the on-site restaurant for a meal among friends. Broadway-style musicals and a symphony are staged in Hendersonville, while the nearby French Broad River allows additional outdoor recreation.
WHAT RESIDENTS SAY “You never get tired of watching the sunsets and sunrises,” says Gary Elam, 59. He and wife Tamera, 57, purchased their lot here in 2008 but didn’t relocate from Fishers, IN, until 2016. Avid golfers, they play in the development and compete in tournaments around the state. They also exercise in the fitness facility and are members of multiple hiking clubs. “We did not realize the importance of moving to a planned community of other retired people who are active,” Tamera admits. This September, they’ll join some Cummings Cove friends on an Alaskan cruise. “We have four kids, and they laugh at us, because we are much more socially involved than we were when we worked and certainly more social than they are,” Tamera says.

"Teesri Aankh" An urdu sci fi Play
Riding off the popularity of the successful and critically acclaimed play "Jaal” and “Nizam Sakka”, the team of Theater Hub and The Lahore Alma has returned to present "Teesri Aankh”, an Urdu Sci-Fi Play which is expected to present an extremely entertaining evening for the audience between 3rd to 5th February at Ali Auditorium. The play, which is a very ambitious script to say the least, takes its roots from sci-fi as it revolves around an alienated location and the arrival of a mysterious alien race that plan to capture humans in order to unravel their grand plans for the human race.
What's most notable about the project is the fact that it tackles Science-fiction, a genre that has been left mostly unchallenged when it comes to theater in Pakistan. While the premise of the play will capture the attention of most, it's the mature characters and their transformation under various scenarios that will breathe life into the play. From a mysterious Chawkidaar, to a war torn writer, the play is destined to pull the audience into a different reality.
Jodat Irtiza, who plays an Alien in the play says, "Playing the character of a being that humans could not relate to proved to be a challenge. The body movement, the language, the dialogue delivery all had to be very unique and even though my character is more on the humorous side, I'm glad I could work with a person like our director Talal Ali Jan, who helped me throughout the project to fine tune it”.
Muhammad Usman, who plays the character of a deranged, war torn writer says, "The character is very mature and complex, but it has been a joy to be able to play it. Of course, it would have been almost impossible without the help of the director and team, and hopefully, the audience will appreciate the complexity and maturity of not just my character, but the whole cast!"
Doing a Sci-Fi play is definitely a challenge, but Theatre Hub has consistently lived up to expectations in the past and they deserve the complete confidence that they will pull of yet another masterpiece this February.

Take cost effective action
Cost effective actions overview
There is a high demand for public services and a need to prevent future ill-health yet public spending is being squeezed. Investment in prevention (known as preventative spend), could meet demand in a cost effective way.
Our work so far has found that
many preventative measures are cost effective
some forms of prevention are likely to reduce health inequalities
some of these interventions will reduce future demand for health and social care
some will be cost saving, but most will generate further health and other benefits for extra costs.
There is increasing evidence that taxation or other policies affecting prices, regulations, and legislation to change behaviours are likely to be both cost effective and efficient in reducing health inequalities.
Our Economics of Prevention inequality briefing outlines the current evidence. It provides links to a range of recent evidence from organisations such as
the World Health Organization (WHO)
the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
Public Health England (PHE).

English Name:
Peppered or Tuxpán Splitfin
Mexican Name:
Mexclapique (erronously: Mexcalpique) de Tamazula
Original Description:
TURNER, C. L. (1946): A contribution to the Taxonomy and Zoogeography of the Goodeid Fishes. Occasional Papers of the Museum of Zoology University Michigan No. 495: pp 1-15
Holotype:
Collection-number: University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, Cat. No. UMMZ-143022.
The Holotype is an adult female of 27mm standard length, collected by C. L. Turner on April the 3rd, 1939. Eight Paratypes, five males and three females (Cat. No. UMMZ-143023) were taken with the Holotype.
One of the oldest photos of Allodontichthys tamazulae, a male from the Río El Terrero, published in 1984 (E. Pürzl):
Terra typica:
The Holotype was collected in the Río Tamazula, the uppermost section of the Río Coahuayana before it changes the name into Río Tuxpan, just above the town of Tamazula de Giordano in Jalisco.
Etymology:
The species is named for the town of Tamazula de Giordano in the state of Jalisco, the type location of this fish.
Distribution and ESU's:
The Tuxpan Splitfin is endemic to the Mexican federal state of Jalisco, historically widely distributed in the upper sections of the Río Coahuayana (Miller et al., 2005), named ríos Tamazula and Tuxpan (downstream to at least 45 river kilometres below the town of Tuxpan), and the upper Río El Tule drainage (ríos El Terrero and La Trampa), an affluent of the Río Naranjo, the name of the Río Coahuayana section following the Río Tuxpan. The historical extent of occurence included several affluents of the ríos Tamazula and Tuxpan, the ríos Contla, San Gregorio (San Jeronimo or Cobianes) and Atenquique, and the arroyos (creeks) Tecalitlán and Espanatica. Recent surveys (2019) revealed this species also from the Río Pihuamo, Río El Cajon drainage. Due to water pollution caused by sugarcane mills (e.g. Tamazula de Giordano), by sewage from the town of Tuxpan and by a huge paper mill in Atenquique can be inferred, that the main river nowadays is partly only scarcely populated with this species, and the Río Tamazula past the sugarcane mill in Tamazula de Giordano uninhabitable (Lyons and Mercado-Silva, 2000). However, it still inhabits the listed affluents and the Río Tamazula above the sugarcane mill and is known from about 10 collection sites. From the distribution in three distinct river systems, three subpopulations, the Río Tuxpan subpopulation (type subpopulation), the Rio El Cajon subpopulation and the Río El Tule subpopulation can be inferred. The bold names are the ones officially used by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía, nevertheless, other ones might be more often in use or better known and therefore prefered.
ESU ist short for Evolutionarily Significant Unit. Each unit expresses an isolated population with different genetic characteristics within one species. ESU's can be defined by Molecular genetics, Morphology and/or Zoogeography and help in indicating different phylogenetic lineages within a species. The abbreviation for an ESU is composed of the first 3 letters of the genus, followed by the first 2 letters of the species name and an ongoing number in each species.
In Allodontichthys tamazulae, it is not possible to distinguish different ESU's, so there is only one recognized: Aldta1
The Río Coahuayana basin from the Hydrographic Region Armería-Coahuayana on a Mexico map Left map). Within the Río Coahuayana basin, the Tamazula Splitfin occurs in three subbasins: The Río Tuxpán subbasin (TUX) in the Río Coahuayana headwaters, the Río Coahuayana subbasin (COA) further downstreams and an eastern affluent, the Río Ahuijullo subbasin (AHU) (right map):
International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN): Vulnerable
Distribution and current conservation status of the Mexican Goodeidae (Lyons et al., 2019): Vulnerable/stable: „Historically known from throughout the Upper Coahuayana River basin where it coexisted with A. hubbsi (Miller et al., 2005). Pollution from a sugar cane mill near the town of Tamazula has made a portion of the former range of the species in the lower Tamazula River uninhabitable since the 1970s (Lyons and Mercado-Silva, 2000). Our recent surveys have encountered A. tamazulae at ten locations, several of which had moderately large numbers of fish, and populations appear to be stable."
NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010: Categoría de riesgo (Category of risk): P - En Peligro de Extinción (in danger of extinction)
The habitats are generally small, rocky streams and riffles over substrates of sand, rocks and boulders. The vegetation is typically green algae, sometimes sparse or none, especially in large rivers where the species is scarce. The currents are slight or moderate to swift, the water is turbid or clear. It can be found in depths of 1m, but usually it prefers depths of 0.5m or less. Like all known Allodontichthys-species, the Peppered Splitfin is a bottom-dwelling and riffle-inhabitating species.
On a survey in 2016, a group of members of the GWG found this species together with Allodontichthys hubbsi and Ilyodon whitei close to the bridge at Contla in the Río or Arroyo Contla in very shallow (about 20cm deep) water in swift current. Both Allodontichthys species were easy to catch by lifting rocks, were the fish hided and put a handnet over the place. The river had a width of about three to four meters in this dry season, the broad stony river bank sugested a width of about eight to ten meters in the rainy season, which could be confirmed on a second survey in November 2018. The first survey revealed good stocks of this species with nearly the same number of individuals as of the Whitepatch Splitfin. The group was able to find this fish additionally in the Río Tamazula at the east end of the town of Tamazula de Giordano, together with the same species of Goodeids and "Xenotoca" lyonsi in sligthly deeper water and swift current. On the second survey of the Río Contla in November 2018, it was a murky fast flowing river, wide up to 8 or 10m and deep to 120cm at some places. Only few Peppered Splitfins could be found this time, including fry (and two female "Xenotoca" lyonsi). A survey of the Arroyo San José de Tule in the same month revealed the species together with A. hubbsi above the town of San José de Tule near the aquaeduct, whereas in the town, only Allodontichthys tamazulae could be found. All Allodontichthys at all surveyed locations in November were in poor health condition probably due to a higher pressure through parasites. The health of fish was much better on a GWG survey only four months later (dry season). The group found the Peppered Splitfin from the Río San Jeronimo throughout the whole Río Tamazula to the section between El Tulillo and the Presa El Charizo, in the nameless creek N of la Garita, in the Río El Terrero, the Arroyo San José de Tule and in the Río Pihuamo, Río El Cajon drainage. At most of the places the species occured in good numbers. A so far last survey of this drainage revealed Allodontichthys tamazulae from the Río Tuxpan about 45 river kilometres below the town of Tuxpan.
Turner found no gravid females in April 1946, but Miller took individuals of 14–18mm SL between 24. February and 24. April. This suggests a reproduction during early winter. A survey of the GWG to the Río Coahuayana drainage in March 2019 found at almost all collection sites gravid females in different stages and fresh born fry.
The conical and shouldered teeth and the short gut (2/3 to 3/4 of standard length) indicate carnivorous feeding habits. Turner found some large (5mm) insect larvae in the gut.
The maximum known standard length is 73mm (Miller et al., 2005).
Colouration:
Turner described the colouration of preserved specimens in the following way: "In general the colouration of A. tamazulae is much lighter than of A. zonistius, and the entire portion above the lateral line is more lightly mottled with dark brown. About 12 heavy, dark, vertical bars extend in the females of A. zonistius from well above the lateral line to well below the lateral line, and a black comma-shaped patch is present just back of the pectoral fin. In A. tamazulae there are 18 to 22 very short dark bars along the lateral line. Only in the part anterior to the dorsal fin and behind the head is there any considerable extension of the bars below the lateral line. In this area 7 to 10 irregular bars extend downward upon the belly. The comma-shaped patch behind the pectoral fin is present in A. tamazulae, but is much lighter than it is in zonistius. Three light vertical bars occur upon the caudal fin in A. tamazulae. There are none in A. zonistius. All males are more heavily marked than the females, particularly in the vertical bars below the lateral line upon the belly."
Sexual Dimorphism:
At first appearance, males and females of the Peppered Splitfin are not as easy to distinguish from each other as sexes from other species of Goodeids, but easier than males and females from closer related species like Allodontichthys hubbsi or zonistius. The safest characteristic is the Splitfin in males, means the for Goodeinae typical mating organ formed by a notch after the first seven shortened rays of the Anal fin. Additionally, male Allodontichthys tamazulae have a bigger Dorsal fin than females, and it is usually more intensively coloured, dark blotched or even almost black. A third character is the colour: males are brighter coloured, mainly blue or bluish on the back, with the upper part of the body clearly separated from the lower part by a series of black blotches forming an irregular line while females are duller coloured and mainly yellow.
In the 1980s, Miller & Uyeno postulated, that Allodontichthys hubbsi and tamazulae might be sister taxa, because they are distributed sympatrically and are of similar shape, but later phylogenetic results (Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and mitochondrial control region, Webb, 2002) and morphological features (Rauchenberger, 1988, e.g. it differs from its congeners having only 3-3 versus 4-4 mandibular pores in the acustico-lateralis system, a longer base of the anal fin and the dorsal fin placed more anteriorly) heavily supported the position of Allodontichthys hubbsi at the basis of the genus as the most distinct representative. Latest phylogenetic studies (Cytochrome b gen, Domínguez-Domínguez et al., 2011) however place the Whitepatch Splitfin again next to Allodontichthys tamazulae as its closest relative. Nevertheless some inconsistencies remain: Why is it possible, that two closely related species of one genus are able to develop in one river system, and how can it happen, that both persist next to each other? Here the emergence of different sex chromosmomes in Allodontichthys hubbsi could be the answer. But how can the morphological distinct features between hubbsi and its three congeners be explained? Maybe the relationship is not that narrow and the Whitepatch Splitfin is really the most basic species of Allodontichthys, but former hybridisation processes between Allodontichthys hubbsi and tamazulae may be pretending narrow relationship in the cytochrom b gen, so for the moment, the position of the species in the genus Allodontichthys is not clearly resolved.
The Whitepatched Splitfin occurs in most of the habitats sympatrically with Allodontichthys tamazulae. It is very likely, that both species are ecologically niched with Allodontichthys tamazulae prefering dense root mesh of trees and riparian vegetation where it regularly could be sampled on surveys in 2019 and Allodontichthys hubbsi hiding under big rocks and boulders in the river course.
Webb compared two populations of Allodontichthys tamazulae, one Aquarium strain from the Río Tamazula and one wild caught one from Río Contla, also from the Río Tamazula drainage. Surprisingly he found notably differences of the two samples (2.1% sequence divergence). That is nearly as much as he found between polylepis and the clade zonistius plus tamazulae (2.4%).
J. Lyons and N. Mercado-Silva (2000) wrote, that in the field, the easiest possibility to distinguish A. tamazulae from thubbsi is by the colour of the back. While the Peppered Splitfin shows black or brown spots, the Whiteptach Splitfin doesn't have clear markings. Mary Rauchenberger (1988) described the dorsal body pigment of A. hubbsi as reduced in places, giving the fish a blotchy appearance. Additionally, she remarked pale fins in contrast to the other species.
First picture showing the backside of several Allodontichthys hubbsi and a single Allodontichthys tamazulae (left), second picture compares Allodontichthys tamazulae (above) and hubbsi (below) laterally:
Husbandry:
Looking on the biotopes of Allodontichthys tamazulae, they suggest the species may prefer a habitat with moderate to swift current, structured with gravel, rocks and boulders. It seems to be less aggressive than its congeners, nevertheless there is aggression between the adult fish, so the tank set up should prevent the fish from seeing each other all the time. Fry is eaten in most of the cases, but it may depend on the quantity and quality of food and on the number of places to hide. When several different stages of juveniles occur, fry may be neglected, so it makes sense to add separate brought up fry to the group with a size of 2 or 2.5cm to provide these stages and get a flock breeding colony.
The recommended tank size is at least 150 liters, bigger tanks with a generous base and little height (25cm are enough) are better for sure. With rocks well structured tanks combined with some roots and/or wood seem to do best with this species. The current should be moderate or swift, especially as the species is adapted to a high oxygene level (at least 8mg/l).
In the wild, the species seems to feed from small or middle - sized invertebrates like bloodworms or insect larvae, so feeding with similar food, water fleas, Mysids and other food from animalistic sources will be best for this predatory fish. In aquarium, it feeds also well from flake food, granulate and even tablets, additionally given Nauplia of Brine Shrimps are eaten greedy and the species is not acting shy at all.
Concerning water quality, this species is in need of bigger water changes (60-80% every week) like most of the Goodeids, especially river inhabiting species, so an automatic water changing system can be helpful. Otherwise, in combination with constant temperatures higher than 24°C, fish may get sick, lose resistance against diseases and age too fast. So for keeping the strain healthy and strong, give the fish a rest during winter time with temperatures lower than 20°C for 2 or 3 months so they stop producing fry. In spring, when the temperature slowly increases, they will start spawning at 20 or 21°C and won't stop until it gets colder again or when it gets too warm (25°C).
This species is doing very well when is kept in the open from spring to fall, starting when the water temperature by day exceeds 17°C and cold periods are no longer expected. Bring them out in the early afternoon, the time of the day with the highest water temperature. During the warm summer, reproduction will stop and may occur again in fall. Bring the fish in before the water temperature deceeds 17°C by day and keep them cool for the first days, then slowly raise the temperature but try to stay below 20°C over the winter time.

In- Kyung Kim leads the way after Day 2 of the Ricoh Women's British Open
Playing through torrential rain, In-Kyung Kim returned a second round of 68 at Kingsbarns Golf Links on Friday evening to take a two-stroke lead in the Ricoh Women’s British Open.
Kim went to the turn in one-under-par but eagled the long 11th to move one stroke clear of the clubhouse leaders, Georgia Hall and Lexi Thompson. She then birdied the par-4 17th during a particularly heavy downpour to extend her lead at the championship’s halfway stage.
The world number 21 claimed her sixth LPGA title a fortnight ago, a year after winning for the third time on the LET at the ISPS HANDA Ladies European Masters, in Germany.
She said: “I really didn’t know what I was shooting. I just wanted to play in my own time, because it was really hard, especially on the last three or four holes when it was pouring down. I just had to move forward.”
She added that her eagle on 11 was “unexpected”, as her drive ran downhill leaving her 206 yards to the front and she dribbled a 5-wood up to within 20 feet, before draining the putt.
The race for the Smyth Salver, awarded to the leading amateur who plays all four rounds, looks set to go to the wire with 2016 Ladies’ British Open Amateur champion, Sophie Lamb, posting a second round 71 to finish tied with World No. 1, Leona Maguire, on four under par 140. They also have My Leander right on their tails after the Swedish international posted a 70 to complete 36-holes on three under par 141.
The cut fell at one under par and among those who made it with nothing to spare were World No. 1, So Yeon Ryu, and one of her predecessors, Lydia Ko.

The only Scot to make the cut was Sally Watson on 3 under.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Review – 4 1/2 Stars
This is the first game I’ve played to get right the way a super hero’s life is constantly pulled in many directions at once, between the urgent threats of villainous schemes and being there for family, between balancing work or school and the cries of people being victimized on the streets, between the plan that might actually save the day and the unexpected twists of Moore’’s Law that unfairly makes that plan harder to achieve. Of course Spidey’s the guy to do this with, but taking that dynamic from the comic books and putting it in a game isn’t easy.
A big part of this is the new graphics, the first of the launch titles for the new consoles that delivers a noticeable leap. It’s more than greater detail or smoother action, every object is now made up of a greater magnitude of pieces and so has a presence and is more convincing. It’s more than fight scenes and special effects, it’s everyday things like billboard signs, streetlights, handrails, and windows that all have a tangible realness, they’re not just a background whipping by, but they feel as something you could stop and investigate with intense detail if you wanted to. The game gave me the feeling of being on an actual city street, of riding a subway in real life. That’s meaningful for an Open World game where you have New York City presented at such a large scale, yet it’s the little things, like the way the pigeons scatter as you swing through them in Central Park that help give the sense of a living, breathing city that behaves whether you’re there or not.
It’s there in character performances too, not just facial expressions that captures sheepish smiles or sighs, but it’s in shoulder shrugs and the way people reach out and nudge each other for assurance.
This gives Miles Morales a life to be interrupted, so when the mission list grows, sending you off to deal with some of the Tinkerer’s henchmen, you really do have a life you need to get back to. When he hangs out with Phin or Ganke, the story sequences aren’t just a breather from the action, they’re fun moments and I found myself looking for more of them.
The fights involve punching and shooting webs, swinging into bad guys and using webs to pick up heavy, nearby objects and swing them about like a morning star. Since it’s Miles under the mask you can charge your attacks with bio-electricity for radius effects and blasts that take out multiple targets. A skill tree and a collection of different suits and gadgets let you expand your attacks and customize your tactics to include stealth take-downs, your own holographic henchmen, and a special form of camouflage.
I like the way Spidey’s senses are used to scan a situation to pick out henchmen and plan tactics or investigate a scene to work out a puzzle solved by his powers and wall-crawling.
The game offers a quick recap of the events from Marvel’s Spider-Man, the kind you normally see in television and it’s nice to see in games, but this isn’t a proper sequel. It plays on it’s own well and although the main story missions aren’t as long at that game, the side-quests and extra tasks tie in so well with the main story I’d argue it’s not a shorter experience.
As you swing through the city Miles’ new suit plays podcasts, some hosted by friends, as his phone receives messages from all the people in his life, including Peter Parker, and a “Friendly Neighbourhood” Spider-Man app launched by Ganke connects you to the public for engaging messages. Among the games’ menu system there’s even a fictional social media feed where you can see people react to the things you do, including trolling by J. Jonah Jameson and his followers.
There’s no question the game is a showcase for the PlayStation 5 and is among the best launch titles this holiday season, but I find it’s also an example of how game creators can make a super hero game that’s as much about the person under the mask as it is the hero fighting in the streets. With this game you get to hang out with Miles Morales as the humble, likeable guy that he is and it’s a nice feeling. I hope one day there will a game that can do that for Bruce Wayne or Clark Kent.

Neonatal vascular access provision reviewed and refined
Home » Neonatal vascular access provision reviewed and refined
“We combined the vascular access team (VAT) and NICU PICC team to improve the timeliness of NICU PICC insertions, standardize care, and use ultrasound for all PICC placements.” deCastro et al (2014).
deCastro, M.V.A., Eades, L.J., Rineair, S.A. and Schoettker, P.J. (2014) Proactive Planning for Vascular Access Therapy: One Hospital’s Plan for Success. The Journal of the Association for Vascular Access. 19(4), p.238–243.
Neonatal vascular access provision reviewed and refined http://ctt.ec/DobVc+ @ivteam #ivteam
Background: Vascular access is a critical component of care for patients in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Our NICU had only a small number of nurses cross-trained to perform peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertions and was not able to provide coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We combined the vascular access team (VAT) and NICU PICC team to improve the timeliness of NICU PICC insertions, standardize care, and use ultrasound for all PICC placements.
Methods: A paper guide tool was developed to prioritize PICC placements as emergent, same-day, or nonemergent. NICU nurses were trained to insert PICCs using ultrasound. Catheter insertion and care processes were standardized for the new centralized PICC team. NICU and VAT staff worked together to improve daily communication, hand-offs, and referrals. Criteria were developed to determine the appropriate hospital location for PICC insertions. Charge nurses began capturing information about patients with PICCs on daily planning sheets.
Results: Following implementation of the new combined VAT, the average wait time for emergent and same-day insertions decreased 10%. No adverse events were reported due to a delay in PICC placement or the PICC referral process.
Conclusions: Combining the NICU PICC insertion nurses and the VAT into a new centralized PICC team provided an opportunity for growth in both areas. NICU PICCs are now placed efficiently based on patient acuity and referral prioritization throughout the hospital. NICU and VAT physicians and nurses have developed a strong partnership for the provision of PICC services for NICU patients.

Album Reviews : Lacrymae – The Hallowed Design
By Mitch Booth on February 21, 2010
It’s always a great feeling to discover a new band who, despite having minimal familiarity with them, manages to blow you away as soon as you hear their music and leave a lasting impression and Lacrymae, from Western Australia, have done just that with their fantastic debut release The Hallowed Design.
Whilst the music has been described as being for fans of Sonata Arctica, Rhapsody Of Fire and Symphony X, who would certainly gain something from this release, there is also a far darker undercurrent at work that is enriched with a poignant thread of classical music which adds an almost cinematic quality to each song.
Lacrymae are blessed with two talented vocalists in the form of Agostino and Francesco Piscitelli whose voices effortlessly morph from fragile to emotive all the while employing harmonies that are exceptionally well done. Based upon their performances here it is no surprise that they were awarded ‘Best Metal Vocalists’ at the Western Front Heavy Metal Awards in 2009.
Or course, all this would mean nothing without the rest of the band and you obviously can’t overlook their vital contributions as the music is just as impressive. Throughout The Hallowed Design each member clearly shows their abilities without any pretension and they give each of the songs the shades and textures that make this such a well rounded work.
There is also an enigmatic quality to the artwork that complements the music, from the illustrations courtesy of Perth artist Chris Nixon through to the smattering of words that are included in the booklet, and the lyrics are also very well written though you’ll have to pay a visit to their Myspace to read them in full.
As far as I am concerned, The Hallowed Design is a magnificent effort in all aspects and, at a mere five songs, certainly leaves me eagerly anticipating what Lacrymae will do next and has been on constant rotation since I received it. If such a high standard is kept across a full length release it would be a brilliant thing indeed so, until that happens, this is a mandatory listen for discerning fans of melodic and intelligent metal anywhere.

Nathanael Jones
Open-source and its struggling Middle Class Tuesday, May 6 2014
Skip to the bottom for details about KeyHub.
I love creating libraries; building high-end components that other developers can leverage. Why? Because my efforts will enable more progress than I could directly create myself.
But open-source typically means free.
How do open-source library developers survive?
Here are a few common patterns I've seen in open-source projects.
Weekender - A project small enough that occasional weekends by one developer can keep it maintained and high-quality.
Orthogonal - A project whose development was funded by a OSS-friendly business with an unrelated profit model.
Bazaar - A project with immense reach and a sufficient number of contributors that progress arises from the chaos. Linux used to be an example, although it's now also an example of #4 and #2.
Support-based - A project sufficiently complicated to use/integrate that a large number of users will require support. Support contracts are the only viable option here; support incidents NEVER pay for themselves, let alone product development.
Service bundling - Mozilla Foundation & Firefox are good examples of this; Google provides 85% of their annual income in exchange for being the default search engine. AWSSDK and Heroku Toolbelt are good examples of libraries with this model.
Donation-ware - Wikipedia manages to sustain itself and MediaWiki through donations, although being the 6th most popular website in the world makes this quite a bit more feasible than your average app or library.
Weaknesses of these patterns for library development
Weekender projects can't have a large scope; or if they do, they need to use low-friction technology. There are lots of Weekender micro-CMSes in Ruby, while very few are maintained for .NET.
Orthogonal - By the nature of their orthogonality, there is little motivation for continued public maintenance after the first stable release. If properly advertised these sometimes transition to Bazaar, although more frequently they become Weekender projects or join the Unmaintained.
Bazaar - Libraries require absolute backwards-compatibility and API consistency. While a large volume of pull requests is helpful, the lion's share of work still falls on the official maintainer even if they're only writing unit tests and documentation. Corporate sponsorship (Orthogonal) is nearly always required, but is rare in the .NET space.
Support-based projects need a critical mass and a minimum quantity of enterprise eyeballs before the first dollar can arrive. There's a huge gap between Weekender and Support-based project sizes, making the transition impossible for most.
Service bundling works great if you're offering SaaS interface libraries. If your library works 'offline' (as most do), this isn't really an option.
Donation-ware needs lots of eyeballs to work. Libraries are naturally targeted to developers of a specific technology, which limits the user base too far. I've only seen a handful of libraries survive this way, and they were jQuery or Javascript libraries with extremely good advertising and millions of eyeballs.
New .NET OSS projects have fewer real patterns
Weekender projects you fund yourself
Orthogonal projects your boss or client has allowed you to open-source. You'll probably make a Weekender out if it, if it's small enough, and you care enough.
…but they don't scale
Neither of these options offers a profit model, neither has a path to scale. Getting them large enough to transition to Support-based can take 4-6 years (in my experience), and requires a massive financial investment.
For small projects a profit model isn't necessary. But when a project requires more than 25 hours from the maintainer per week, there's no light at the end of the tunnel. You can't offer support guarantees or contracts unless you're in control of your own time and employment.
Also - what if you WANT to focus on developing libraries full-time instead of orthogonal apps or services; what if library development is your goal?
Middle-class software is important; it's how platforms evolve
Solutions to tricky problems generally require a substantial amount of code. It's an inherent trait of software; the easy problems don't need libraries very badly, while the hard problems simply can't be solved without componentization. If you're solving a end-user need, there are easier paths to profitability. If you're just solving a 'tricky' or 'painful' developer need, you're probably in the software Middle Class.
Most progress happens in the middle class; our applications are limited by the quality of the platform stack they use. As libraries harden and evolve, they continually form new layers in the application stack, and have historically moved down into the OS, windowing system, and browser.
Unfortunately, Orthogonal software is rarely great quality. Focus is rarely on the API, but rather on solving the particular itch of the business itself. Most of the great advances I've seen have come from Weekender projects which took risky, radical approaches to solving big problems.
Open-source and .NET haven't been friends very long, and while there is definite growth from the Nordic regions and with certain applications (Umbraco, ServiceStack, Json.NET), CodePlex is overall a depressing graveyard of unmaintained, non-functional libraries that were once cared for and once worked.
There's a strong social component to the abandonment here as well; users of .NET OSS libraries tend to forget that the developer is doing this for free, and browsing the Issue Tracker or Discussions page will inevitably turn up absurd scenarios. I'm sure cultural differences are also a contributing factor here; what US developers consider rude, impolite, and demanding may be socially acceptable in some countries nearer to the 17th parallel.
How can middle-class software survive? Here's one ugly solution:
OSS purists might stone me, but I think the following compromise could enable hundreds of failing .NET OSS projects to survive and eventually transition to a Support-based model.
Enforced donation-ware; MIT-licensed source code with license keys
'Official' source code and binaries will contain license key enforcement
Users will be legally permitted to remove the DRM and use it for free, and even branch the project and publish a DRM free version.
To preserve income, the official maintainer only needs to maintain better SEO ranking and better code quality than the derivative branches.
License key enforcement should be 'light' - just watermarking or displaying an advertisement.
How could this possibly work?
In any other language I doubt it would, however…
The .NET space is unique among communities for its general unwillingness to ever (re)build from source code or make edits to existing projects. We can turn this 'bad side' into an advantage.
.NET developers aren't typically morally opposed to license keys, they just wisely avoid using closed-source software with them. If presented correctly and clearly, I don't think many .NET developers would react badly to OSS+license keys.
.NET businesses are already conditioned to pay for components.
NuGet distributes binaries, not source code.
But how can you do DRM in open-source?
Like all DRM, it can be removed - just much easier
But with 256-bit asymmetric encryption, you can eliminate keygen cracks, making it impossible to trick the stock binaries or NuGet packages.
All you have to do is make the path of least resistance 'just buy it'. No legal mumbo-jumbo is needed, other than your Privacy Policy if you're using a central licensing server. Your license portal better support OpenID, offline keys, and floating domain licenses, however — the path of least resistance needs to actually be less resistance than deleting 5 lines of code.
I think this is a bad idea if you …
Aren't using .NET or something very similar in culture and community.
Already have a large user base. It's better to stretch for the support contract model than to risk alienating your entire customer base.
Have an alternative profit model
This is certainly better than…
Releasing closed-source
Writing your own license that's incompatible with OSS licenses.
KeyHub — lowering the barrier to entry
Licensing portals are notoriously painful — both for end-users and the maintainers. Typically, they're far out of reach for small companies, let alone individuals.
That's where KeyHub (Apache licensed) comes in.
KeyHub combines OpenId/OAuth login (no password required) with 2 great license key models: permanent offline keys (asymmetric encryption), and floating (online) keys. Keep everyone happy by letting them choose between convenience and offline support.
Our intended launch date was over a year ago, but due to severe issues with Azure, it got delayed yet again. It's now ready for alpha testing, and we'd like your help.
To make KeyHub successful, we need to find 7+ individuals or businesses that will commit to its use and maintainance.
If you're paying exorbiant fees for an ancient, closed-source licensing system, this is a great time to consider an exit. KeyHub is designed to support multiple vendors per application, and lends itself to a hosted scenario. Using shared infrastructure (CI, SQL, load balancing, fault tolerance, etc), we can make KeyHub both practical and reliable.
KeyHub offers a streamlined user and vendor experience that will reduce your pain. Join us in making keyhub.org a reality. Contact me, or send a pull request.

My experience with Azure Thursday, May 1 2014
TLDR; Azure deleted my company's data without warning and wouldn't fix it.
Let me start by saying that despite everything, I was extremely enthusiastic about Azure — until my last experience. Also, I'm mostly focused on git push style deployment (Azure Web Sites).
Forced off BizSpark plan by rounding errors
I was a late adopter of Azure (February 2013), after the new portal was released.
Roughly a week after switching to Azure, a rounding error killed all of my websites and databases. Despite having only empty databases, the system had decided I was using 1.000001 database units, .000001 in excess of my quota. There were no notifications; we found out about the outage the hard way - subscription shutdown. Despite being truly under the free quota, I just switched to pay-as-you-go billing and ate the cost. I couldn't get any help from Azure billing or support on the BizSpark subscription.
This is when I discovered that you cannot move services between subscriptions. If Microsoft messes up a subscription, you have to re-create everything — while your web presence is down.
Azure Web site deploy failure rate is high
My next hurdle was when I exceeded the 1GB quota for disk space with cache files. Azure web site storage being ephemeral and all, I'd expect it to just recycle and redeploy. Oops, no, everything just shuts down. There's also no way to resolve the issue (start, stop, redeploy doesn't help) I ended up having to move from Shared to Reserved to 'clean' the instance.
I've had about 20% of my deployments fail due to a DLL still being in-use. There doesn't seem to be any handling of file locking; the deploy didn't auto-roll-back either. Start, stop, redeploy, nothing could solve it. I had to downgrade to shared, then back to reserved so I can get the website back up on another instance.
Confidence - moving critical services to Azure
With that behind me, and impressed by the decent performance I was seeing, I gradually moved all my apps and sites to Azure, including web applications and customer databases.
Then this appeared in my inbox, timestamped 7:29am.
I checked, and all of my azure sites were down. I logged into the portal, and discovered that all of my databases, backups, instances, and websites had been terminated and deleted. There was nothing left. In fact, everything had been deleted at midnight, 8 hours prior to the first (and only) notification of the action taken.
Now, the cancellation wasn't random, but it also wasn't completely my fault. Every year, Xbox Live bills me ~$120 MSFT for 2 gold subscriptions that I've never used (I always buy prepaid cards). It's a ghost that can't be killed; no record of it except the credit card charge.
A couple weeks prior to this event, a charge for $121.14 MSFT appeared on my card. I logged into my azure account and verified that my most recent statement was $38, and I had no pending invoices or e-mail receipts. After triple-checking it couldn't be Azure, I opened a dispute on the charge, certain it was from XBOX.
A few days after the cancellation, the matching Azure invoice appeared in my account.
Handling of the situation
I immediately contacted Azure support and explained the situation. They insisted that while invoices are generated some time before they're available for viewing, credit cards are not charged until afterwards. Perhaps this is how it's supposed to work, but it's not the order of events that happened to me - my azure charge was initiated before I had any warning. I wasn't expecting $98 of CPU usage either, which made the charge even more difficult to identify. I did re-authorize the charge with the credit card company as soon as I got the invoice.
The first representative did not offer to help resolve the situation or restore service to the subscription, but suggested I open yet another support ticket to migrate the services to a new subscription.
Due to the extensive delay, I redeployed to AppHarbor and restored service to my sites.
I continued inquiring into how to 'fix' the situation. I've included the transcript below.
Communication transcript
Hello Nathanael, Upon reviewing we see that all the data has been deleted as the subscription was disabled. Hence, data transfer is not possible. Kindly let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks and Regards, Aarish
Deletion of my data is violation of the Azure Usage agreement per 4c and 4e "Customer Data return and deletion". http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/legal/subscription-agreement/ You may extract and/or delete Customer Data at any time. When a Subscription expires or terminates, we will retain any Customer Data you have not deleted for at least 90 days so that you may extract it, except for free trials, where we may delete Customer Data immediately without any retention period. You remain responsible for all storage and other applicable charges during this retention period. Following the expiration of this retention period, we will delete all Customer Data, including any cached or back-up copies, within 30 days of the end of the retention period. You agree that we have no additional obligation to continue to hold, export or return Customer Data and that we have no liability whatsoever for deletion of Customer Data pursuant to these terms. - Nathanael
Hello Nathanael,
Kindly be informed by design when a subscription is cancelled or disabled, all deployments are deleted leaving only the SQL database and Storage account which will be available for 90 days from the date of cancellation. Upon reviewing the usage, we see that SQL database usage stopped on 9th July and the subscription was disabled on 10th July. Let me know if you have any questions.
However, you're saying that the SQL and Storage accounts were deleted.
-Nathaanel
Thank you for your response. The SQL database was deleted from the management portal before the subscription was disabled from our backend. Also, there were no storage account usage for this subscription. Hence, no data was retained. Let me know if you have any questions.
At which point I took a day off to cool down. I certainly didn't log in and delete my own data on the same day my subscription was terminated. I can only assume that the audit logs for subscription cancellation were simply confusing.
I haven’t heard from you, and hope this means I have completely addressed your concern. If you do have any further questions, please reply and let me know – I will be happy to assist you further. If not kindly let me know if I have your permission to archive this case.
I still haven’t heard back from you, but would like to confirm that the issue is fully addressed before I archive this case. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Apparently waiting a couple of days wasn't enough for me to resume the conversation with a polite tone, which I feel bad about.
Surely you're joking? What have you possibly resolved? - Nathanael
Kindly be informed that as there were no SQL database and storage account at the time when your subscription was disabled. No data was retained. Hence, we are not able to transfer as per your request. Let me know if you have any questions.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
I'm pretty sure that DB still had data at the time the subscription was cancelled. Also, why can't you at least transfer the Website configurations to the new subscription?
-Nathanael
Several days into the conversaion, Aarish finally offers to re-enable the subscription (but explains that it's a useless effort).
Hello Nathanael, Kindly be informed that there are certain prerequisites to perform data transfer. Some are listed below;
1: Source and destination subscription has to be active. 2: Destination subscription should be empty. 3: Service administrator of both the source and destination subscription should be common ( at least until the transfer is complete).
I have enabled the source subscription from backend. Kindly login to the portal to check if the website is available. Kindly let me know if we can schedule a call to discuss further.
So, you're saying that since I already have 1 server using the new subscription, I can't move anything to it? This kind of limitation needs to be communicated much more clearly to customers. - Nathanael
You are correct. If the destination subscription has any services running, we cannot move services from another subscription. Also be informed that the source subscription was enabled from the backend, kindly verify the same and let me know if you have any questions.
Many users of ImageResizer have asked for a SaaS version of the software. I wish I could provide it to them, but I cannot entrust my users to a host that capriciousouly deletes customer data. It's also not cost-effective run Windows on AWS, which means an ImageResizer SaaS is not happening.
Azure has potential, but Microsoft has never been good at billing customers accurately or resolving related issues. I've been using AWS and Heroku for years without experiencing a single billing-related service disruption — despite having credit cards expire multiple times.
Don't assume I have perfect faith in AWS, Heroku, or even AppHarbor. The only decent way to mitiage risk is plan for multi-cloud support. If you can redeploy to another provider, you can avoid bad situations. Unfortunately, AppHarbor is the closest thing Azure has to competition.
What Azure needs to improve on
Use a different merchant description for Azure charges.
Consider rounding fractional amounts down instead of up. Floating point math is hard, we know.
Notifiy customers before (not after!) deleting their stuff.
Perhaps, if there is a billing issue, give customers a time window to resolve it.
Add a "Reset" button to websites that recycles the VM and ephemeral storage, so when code fails, users can rescue bad situations.
Be transactional about website deployments. If you couldn't deploy all the files, roll back.
Handle locked files.
Provide invoices via e-mail.
Don't be arbitrary and annoying about subscriptions. Let them be repaired.
Try less hard to cancel customer accounts.
Empower customers to resolve subscription problems without involving support.
We love you AppHarbor, stick around!
And last, but most importantly — Azure needs viable competitors. With linux, we can pick and choose cloud providers at will, but investing in a Windows-based cloud application ties us firmly to Microsoft (and their strengths and weaknesses). If Windows is to be a viable platform in the future, it's cloud story must be multi-vendor — in a way that it isn't now.
Microsoft has invested in their competitors before - and this is a great time to do it again. Azure can't survive alone.
The War On Waste - or Why I Focus On Libraries Saturday, November 2 2013
Skip this if you're not in a philosophical mood. It's a 1000-word soliloquy about personal goals and regrets.
Also, despite the next section, I am pro-Microsoft. My personal goal is to make developers happier and more effective on whichever platform(s) allow me to do so. Also, vendor loyalism in software often hurts the vendor - insular feedback is tremendously destructive.
Background — Waste
During my pre-2008 loyalist phase, I wasted precious years struggling with sub-par tools and writing mountains of boilerplate code. I trusted my peers (and even — foolishly — technical evangelists who've since moved on) to know which tools were best — after all, they'd been in the business much longer than I.
In defense of my peers and I; when one works exclusively on a platform of black boxes, guessing only through inference of results how they operate, one tends to stop questioning the manufacturer's guidance. Belief systems usually form, evidenced by code rituals and cargo-cult behavior. Shotgun programming proliferates, and manufacturer advertising is absorbed as if it were truth. Logic, without good data, is useless to every mind. Software, without source code, is an endless quantity of bad data. Demand source code for everything you touch. As the depth of the software stack increases, vendors who don't provide source code and transparency will reach a paralysis point.
Our planet is being revolutionized by software, but in a horrifically primitive way. Man-decades (sometimes centuries) of human creativity — per business — are spent to reinvent line-of-business software, which is used improperly (if at all) by a handful of people, and thrown away after a few years. Meanwhile, projects and organizations with a demonstrably positive influence on the world struggle to accomplish their (often unique) software goals. Despite an explosion in the number of software developers in the last two decades, very little has changed about what wastes our time and energy. For a profession that builds its own tools, it's extremely shaming that leaky abstractions are still so prevalent and that code reuse is so rare.
Software has a human cost
As developers, we tend to pour our mental energy and health into our work, leaving us so mentally drained that we are often ineffective at life itself.
I admire and envy those who balance work and life easily, who can leave problem-solving at work. I've never been able to. I shower thinking of algorithms. I shave while trying to simplify interfaces or APIs. To expel a problem from my brain, I have to read an extremely absorbing book — or replace it with a better problem.
Based on those I've met, I don't think a healthy balance is the norm for software engineers.
Software has a human cost, but that cost is different for everyone.
For me, it first struck after 4 years as a paid developer. I was 18. I take 4 medications and 5 supplements every morning as a result. My eyesight is slowly worsening. My daily visits to the gym are driven by my desperation to recover; to be around when my son is grown.
Minutes in which I have mental energy to expend are precious to me now; I don't take an hour of coding for granted.
No sum of money could justify what I (or countless others) have put into software. Our best hope to balance the scales is to translate our past, present, and future time into as much net happiness for others as we can.
I can't force the world to adopt or create open-source. Economics (at best) suggests a slow erosion of proprietary systems, but at the current rate it could be decades before we see code reuse exceed duplication — if such a thing occurs.
The sheer demand for software developers is also two-edged sword. It raises salaries, but also makes it that much harder to fund software that doesn't generate revenue.
Open-source tackles waste head-on, often fighting against massive advertising budgets with only agility and developer altruism. And somehow, it's winning against more wasteful models.
I think many confuse the enemy here. It's not Microsoft, not Apple, not closed-source software. It's waste itself. Our enemy is the squandering of human creativity, the art burning in piles of discarded one-use software.
To me, the Apache and MIT/BSD licenses are the most effective at reducing waste.
I can't find the GPL attractive. What benefit can be had by preventing closed-source programs from using your library? Developers aren't in charge of business decisions; they're just trying to get their job done. They're probably more grateful than most for what you've built, and almost as likely to contribute back. Excluding the average developer doesn't help you, them, or anyone.
There is no war between open and closed source software; only against waste.
What drives me
Lacking influence or riches, I focus on building tools.
I patch (and build) libraries to save developers time and frustration. You should, too.
Good ideas are contagious, even when implemented in the briefest manner possible. Show just one person what could be, and soon it will be what is.
Simplify the complex. Eliminate leaky abstractions. Reduce code noise. Automate the mundane.
Help developers focus on the unique parts of their challenges, and you've multiplied how much they can accomplish with their time.
Remove useless disruptions so they can spend more time in the flow, and you've made them happier people (clinically proven). Flow is one of the primary causes of happiness; leaky abstractions make it harder to be happy.
This is a goal every developer can achieve. Fixing a bug might save 100 people 30 minutes of frustration. That's a massive win in terms of net happiness, even if it was hard for you.
Just the psychological effect of a pull request is enormous to a library developer. It's a concrete validation that their library is useful, worthwhile. And as an extension, that they have been.
Select your tools with ruthlessness; repair them with consideration. Require source code to everything you touch. Optimize for net happiness.

How To Run Linux On A Chromebook Spoiler - this is not breaking a chromebook into a linux box! What it is - quite simply - is proof positive that the web browser is quite capable of taking over as the primary application context for all but the most extreme human computer interaction [Yes - that does mean Microsoft are getting in right - as are Google]. It is absolutely 100% the truth that these are pictures of my Samsung Chromebook running linux. What is happening here is that it is running linux in Bellard's amazing JavaScript PC emulator. The Chromebook's chrome V8 JavaScript engine can boot this 2.6 kernel up in around 10 seconds. Howto: Linux shell restricting access By default when you add new user to system (/etc/passwd file) it grant shell access. If you are creating new users for POP3 or SMTP (mail server) or FTP then you do not need to grant shell access to a user. Remember as soon as you add a user he/she can login via telnet or ssh.
LVM HOWTO Logical volume management provides a higher-level view of the disk storage on a computer system than the traditional view of disks and partitions. This gives the system administrator much more flexibility in allocating storage to applications and users. Storage volumes created under the control of the logical volume manager can be resized and moved around almost at will, although this may need some upgrading of file system tools. The logical volume manager also allows management of storage volumes in user-defined groups, allowing the system administrator to deal with sensibly named volume groups such as "development" and "sales" rather than physical disk names such as "sda" and "sdb". One of the difficult decisions facing a new user installing Linux for the first time is how to partition the disk drive. With logical volume management, the whole disk would be allocated to a single volume group and logical volumes created to hold the / /usr and /home file systems.
Always Innovating: Introducing the Smart Book Four OS fully optimized and configured for the Beagleboard Always Innovating is pleased to announce Super-Jumbo for the Beagleboard family (also compatible with Touch Book & Smart Book). Super-Jumbo a single image which provides four operating systems fully optimized for the OMAP3 chip, and aggregates hundreds of applications already set up for you across the four major ARM operating, i.e. AIOS (complete full features Angstrom fork), Android Gingerbread v2.3, Ubuntu Maverick 10.10, and ChromiumOS (first time ever released for OMAP3). Our single kernel is compatible across the whole Beagleboard and Touch Book families. Last, Super-Jumbo includes the feature to switch at run-time between those four operating systems without any performance loss.
Samsung Series 5 3G Chromebook (Arctic White): Amazon.co.uk: Computers I bought the Samsung Chromebook because I wanted one fast-access device, with an attached keyboard, where I didn't have constant reminders about security updates and scans, to act as a supplement to my home PCs. I'd been very interested in buying one since they appeared on the market, as I'd remarked to a colleague a few years ago that netbooks would run faster if the browser alone was the operating system, and you could probably do most tasks using this - so I had already bought into the concept, as far as I know, before it was even announced. Anyway, in the following, I've compiled some points which I hope will be useful to other Amazon users.

(CLOSED) DE-FOA-0002441 - Scientific Discovery Through Advanced Computing: Partnerships in Basic Energy Sciences
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=330209
The DOE SC programs in Basic Energy Sciences (BES) and Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) announce their interest in receiving applications from interdisciplinary teams to establish Partnerships under the SC-wide Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program in specific targeted topic areas that relate to the BES and ASCR missions.
Targeted topics are described in the Supplementary Information section below. Applications and Pre-Applications that do not address one or more of these specific topics may be declined without review.
This Announcement invites new research proposals for the SciDAC-5 Partnerships in BES that enable or accelerate scientific discovery employing DOE High-End/High-Performance Computing (HPC) facilities, e.g., see https://science.osti.gov/ascr/Facilities. For the purposes of this Announcement, the term “DOE HPC” has been expanded to include the high performance production computational systems at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), as well as those existing, or planned to be available by 2022, at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), or similar DOE computing facilities. ASCR expects that DOE HPC will include exascale machines now planned for these Facilities (Perlmutter, Aurora, Frontier) within the period covered by this Announcement, please consult the following websites for further information:
https://www.nersc.gov/systems/perlmutter
https://alcf.anl.gov/aurora
https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/frontier
https://science.osti.gov/ascr/Facilities/User-Facilities/Upgrades
Topics for this solicitation are limited to those listed below. Applications and Pre-Applications in other research areas may be declined without review.
SciDAC will support interdisciplinary teams to establish partnerships between domain scientists – in the fields of materials science, condensed matter physics, chemical sciences, geosciences, and energy-related biosciences – and applied mathematicians and/or computer scientists to overcome barriers between these disciplines. The integrated teams will engage with the SciDAC Institutes and allow full use of DOE HPC computing capabilities. Two topical areas of interest will be targeted:
Quantum Phenomena of many-particle systems driven far from equilibrium. Applications are sought that drive and manipulate quantum effects such as coherence, entanglement, and novel states of matter by going beyond the use of existing quantum-based methods in their traditional regimes.
Predictive Control of Reaction Pathways for chemical mechanisms in complex non-equilibrium and field-driven environments important in synthesis of materials and chemicals, and deconstruction of macromolecular structures such as plastics for polymer upcycling.
Efforts aimed at extending currently attainable length/time scales or increasing complexity and that algorithmically match efficiency enhancements offered by next generation computers will receive priority.

Meet the Messengers
To send money to another citizen of the Imperium is easy. The Messengers can get it to them guarenteed if it's possible.
Ezekiel Redpaw
An old and wizened stoat, many suspect Ezekiel stays with the messengers because his wife is an utter annoyance, and he despises the notion of staying home with her all day. By all rights, he should have retired long since, but he is a valuable and important member of the Messengers. Ezekiel will take a minimum of a comission for his work, saying that he does it more for the walks around the city than the money these days.
Fentooth Niberach
Fentooth "stupid-foreigner" Niberach has got a reputation. A reputation for doing exactly what those above him say, and nothing else. Fentooth would not be taking any comission had someone not told him that it was okay, should he slip just a little bit of the coins to feed his family (ie. his mother).
Miles Svindler
Those who know Miles know that he always has "Something Else" running on the side. While he's been accused of everything from stealing to running most of the gangs in the city, nothing has been conclusive. Miles figures that being a Messanger gives him good reason to be out around the city looking for creatures, and a bit of a commission won't hurt anyone.
Wenifaw Darkblade
Wenifaw Darkblade is rather ashamed of her last name, and would like it, please, if you would omit calling her Wenifaw Darkblade, Wenny Darkblade, Darkie, Bladegirl, or "you!" (most because, despite severe effort to the contrary, she is conspicuously horrible with any sort of weapon). Wenifaw Darkblade is pursuing a career at art, and funds most of her supplies through an average sized comission.
Jacobean Myer
Not much is known about Jaco, other than that he will not speak, and always seems to be wearing black. In actual fact, he is trying to compile a tell-all story of the urban lifestyle of the Vulpine Imperium. Most creatures ignore him because he is generally ignorable, despite an average comission he takes on each delivery.
Atch Willard
Atch is the son of a wealthy farm owner. He's in the city because farming is not suited to sons of wealthy land owners, and is a messanger because he is, in fact, the 5th son of a wealthy farm owner, and very inconsequencial. Hoping to one day start his own business selling farm produce in the city, he takes a comission larger than most.
Thomas Frye
Frye was once an accountant, until it was found that entries such as "Frye's Famous Vacation" and "Secret Missions for Williker's" were found in various record books. Frye has determined that 4% of the gilders he carries will go to room and board, 2% to Williker's, and 1% to Sweet Sweet Revenge.
Erskine Levi
One day in the (so incredibly it may be called imaginary) distant future, Levi the Great will be a name on everyone's lips - the greatest singer Ever in the Entire Historie of the Vulpine Imperium. Becoming such a famous figure, Levi has found, costs gilders, which is why those who find their gifts being carried by him try to stifle an inward groan.
Jones Flattail
Stuttering Jones Flattail has got a scheme. You feel sorry for him, aww...the poor mite with big eyes, scraggly fur, and a pervasive stutter. Being preoccupied with that, you do not notice the heafty comission he takes.
Theodore Beechem
Muffle your groans of dismay, and stomp on your feelings that this is, truly, your unluckiet day! Theodore may look ugly, dress awfully, and smell other(under)worldly, but he's really a "very nice, honest" guy (ie. He's going to take as much money from you as he can. Be serious, here. This is a guy who's been arrested upwards of 20 times for stealing).

TV Review: Jessica Jones
There are three types of people who will read this.
The first are friends, colleagues and acquaintances who’ll see it on my twitter (@mrfreeman1984) or facebook page and will be bored, or need something to take their minds off life, something mind numbing and tedious, maybe with poor grammar, spelling and linguisterics* to read – who’ll stumble through to paragraph two and then move on. They’ll be indifferent about this.
The second are people with Netflix who’ve seen the advert and haven’t quite decided whether to watch this or not – will it be another Daredevil or Arrow… Hit or miss?** You should read on.
Finally there’s the Marvel geeks, those who can reel off hours of “what really happened”, who’ll bore you to tears with fan theory and how the series hasn’t remained true to the original vision. Guess what, no-one but other Marvel geeks care. Also I don’t care whether something is associated with Marvel or superheroes or whatever. I care if it’s good. Marvel geeks flee now. I’m on episode two and here’s my thoughts.
Jessica Jones is good, possibly very good.
Jessica is a private investigator with a secret, she’s an ex-superhero, who’s great at jumping and has super strength and, possibly (and also possibly not) laser eyes. But that’s not what makes her character interesting. What gives her depth beyond most other superheroes is that she’s not a natural superhero, she has experienced the most horrendous trauma and come out shattered, battle scarred and alone. Think Tony Stark post-first Avengers movie. The difference is that this is smarter, better performed and with an astonishingly good lead performance by Krysten Ritter.
Her performance has vulnerability, a darkness that shows a tortured soul and, importantly, incredibly conflicted. Yet despite this the character has real strength, shows a modern set of values that often don’t resonate on TV, and, refreshingly, strength of character and brains are prioritised over looks and physical prowess or violence. It’s all played to near perfection. This is an actress with range.
The script is witty and terrifying at the right moments and the pacing feels measured unlike some of its all-action contemporaries. We don’t meet our super villain in episode one, an inspired move to unsettle and set a tone through other’s interactions and feelings towards him as to who he is is. What some series seem to fail to realise is that what connects the audience to characters is the human not the superhuman elements – it’s what connects us to them, makes them relatable. While the superpowers hold that initial interest, to get a series beyond the mental age of a 5 year old boy (and get longevity or my attention past episode one), we need to discover their inner turmoil and that is where Jessica Jones succeeds – don’t miss it.
*deliberate
**but which is which?
Enjoyed this? Give it a share!

August Record Shopping in Nashville, Part One.
After tearing through Arizona and San Diego at the beginning of this month, I managed to find myself in Nashville, Tennessee for work at the tail end of August, ready to take my per diem check and blow 85% of it on records.
I got to Nashville on Thursday afternoon, but was occupied with work stuff until Saturday evening, when I was able to make my way over to Grimey's, a place that a few people had told me to check out while I was there. It was packed with records, but most of them were new, and that's stuff I can get at home.
They did have a small side room with new arrivals that were used, so I dipped into that and ended up walking out with a handful of LPs.
Hybrid Ice - Hybrid Ice (1982)
Private-press LP out of Danville, PA from a rock group that has that prog-ish Yes vibe to them. Their song "Magdelene" was covered by Boston. That's nothing to be ashamed of.
Samantha Fox - "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" 12" (1986)
German import version! I bought this for a dollar and it's got the BPM listed on the front so you know this one'll be bumpin' in the club.
N.Y.C. Fat Girls - "Here Comes the Fat Girls" 12" (1986)
New York City's female answer to the Fat Boys, who they call out, and wow, this is a wild one. A lot of talk about how much they like to eat, which I guess make sense.
Richard Pryor - Black Ben the Blacksmith (1978)
Party-record Richard Pryor on the Laff label. Not sure I want to find out what's going on with that horse.
Richard Pryor - Outrageous (1979)
And another one. I got these for 2 bucks each. I enjoy these hastily made old-timey comedy records.
And aside from a nicely priced Happy Mondays Call the Cops DVD that I picked up and am very excited to watch, that was all I left with from there. Started slow, but it didn't last long. I ended up going nuts at the next place, which is where I headed straight from Grimey's because it was open until 8 and in the same general area.
Boulevard Record Shop had some BOGO signage plastered all around so when I walked in, I asked the dude what the deal was. He told me that if I bought any record from the main part of the store, I got one of the records in the bins up against the wall for free, but it also turned out that the entirety of that wall was buy-one-get-one, too. So you couldn't get the deal with two records from the main shelves, but everything else was good to go. You see what I'm saying.
I quickly realized I wouldn't be purchasing anything from the main racks because when I see a copy of Brothers in Arms priced at $20, I know not to bother with the rest of the shit. So I checked the bins by the walls, expecting to encounter some $12 Jermaine Jackson records, but instead I found a treasure trove of fairly priced obscure-ish LPs from which I kept pulling gem after gem, knowing that they were all basically half price, and I figured I'd add it up at the end and put some stuff back if I had to. I did not have to. I bought a ridiculous stack of records from this place. Here we go:
Jack Brown - Jack Tells It Like It Is (196?)
I'll be honest: I don't listen to a lot of the religious LPs I collect, because the music is usually shitty and often creepy. But I always listen to one kind of religious record if I pick one up: the Old Dude Gives A Straight Talk To Teens spoken-word record. (Also Christian stand-up records, which are terrific.) If you've never listened to Don Lonie Talks to Teenagers, you're really missing out. He weaves his way into the Jesus stuff masterfully after earning a teen-filled auditorium's trust with some wry high-school humor. So, yes, I'm looking forward to this one. This old codger was in six different prisons and addicted to drugs for 30 years and he's here to tell you about why that's a bad idea. Pretty sure the J-Man is involved. He usually shows up towards the end.
Johnny and The Distractions - Let It Rock (1981)
These guys were out of Portland in the late 70s through the 80s and I believe this was their sole major-label release, on A&M. I have a few of their other records – the one before this one and the one after. Bridging the ol' gap, here. Feels good to do that.
Goldust - Saturday Soiree (198?)
Private-press vocal trio cover-song situation out of Knoxville. Sit back and let them take you on a trip through the 30s, 40s, and beyond!
The Complete Cockatiel Training Album (1980)
I have a few of the other records from this teach-your-bird-to-talk-and/or-whistle-showtunes series, and you'd think they'd be kind of rare but they're not. But they are cool to have, and, in a pinch, a great conversation piece!
Tammy Faye Bakker - Run Toward the Roar (1980)
Speaking of great. I'm not sure I'd ever come across a Tammy Faye record before, but if I did it wasn't this one. What a cover. The back is also really getting the job done. Even has the original PTL Club inner sleeve! Boy, she had fun for a while there before it all went to shit, didn't she? So powerful.
Ed Kilbourne - I Know Where I'm Going (1964)
Ed's got directions, and he's taking his guitar with him. Back of this is completely blank.
Mike McGuirk - Country Feelings (1980)
First Goldust, and now Mike McGuirk? And when I was in Arizona earlier this month I found that Dusty Rhodes record...! The weird wrestling connections continue with this private-press country crooner out of New York. Title is very Kirk Van Houten.
Cash Backman - Little Bit of Understanding (1976)
LP out of Australia from a guy with a cool name holding a kitten and smoking a cig on the front of his debut album. So this is kind of crazy - just noticed that the inside of the gatefold is inscribed. Here's what it says, line by line: "To Mr. Dobbie Grey / One Hell of a guy / Cash Backman / (support act, Melb. July 7, 1976) / Thanks again!" Do I own the copy of the LP that Cash Backman signed for Dobie Gray - whose name he didn't know how to spell - when he opened for him in Melbourne, Australia in the summer of 1976? I think I just might.
Gino Harrison - An Inceptional Album (1981)
Sealed, private-press LP out of Texas that I can't find any evidence of existing on the internet. Back cover features complimentary quotes from bar and restaurant owners who would not hesitate to hire Gino again. Got this for four bucks, but really two.
Tommy Scott and The Men of the Long Journey - Songs of the Road (196?)
This one was also sealed, also four bucks. Early stuff from a Grand Ole Opry dude, from what I can tell. We'll see if I keep this one.
Heirborn - Undercover Christian (1981)
Man, I forgot I snagged this. I was really just grabbing stuff, so part of the fun is getting these records home and remembering why I got 'em. The cover on this one is just so great. I love Christian rock bands trying to be cool. Here you can see them sneaking into church in disguise. Is that what it's come to? I'm also now realizing I have their other LP and that they were out of Spokane and possibly Bellingham.
Slim Goodbody - Healthy is Wealthy (1980)
This was, admittedly, a "hey I 'member this guy!" type purchase, but it's got a gatefold cover and is just lousy with bizarre puppets, so I'm good with it. And seriously: remember this dude?
Jimmy Travis - My First One (197?)
Private-press country LP out of Tennessee with a cosign from Boots Randolph on the back. Track on here called "God Never Made a Horse Happy Couldn't Ride" that I'm tempted to fire up over here. And I just did. Dear lord. It's about a rodeo rider who was a champion and then starts losing, goes hard into boozing out of control, and then kills himself by OD'ing on heroin. And also the guy singing the song is his little brother. Yikes. That was not what I was expecting there.
Jimmy Travis - "Live" (198?)
This must be Jimmy's follow-up, and sadly, he does not perform "Happy." This one's out of Hendersonville, Tennessee.
Ronnie Cochran - Ronnie Cochran Sings: A Tribute to an Old Friend Mel Street (197?)
Private-press country-rock LP out of Nashville in probably the late 70's, because that's when Mel Street killed himself. This is another one that I can't find any info on. Feel like I should do the right thing and put some of these on Discogs, but I probably won't.
Waves of Grain - The West Was Fun (1985)
Jangly indie rock out of California that's on a small label that looks like it put out some other similar stuff. Brendan O'Brien is listed as the drummer on this but I'm not sure if that's the record producer dude.
Nigel - Ocean (1987)
Ohhhh this is a good one. Private-press sensitive-dude rock out of Philadelphia that is a one-man operation, with 19-year-old Nigel here playing every instrument on the album. My copy's got two different lyric inserts, a typed letter to a guy at a magazine named Greg who he's trying to get to review it, and a photocopied, handwritten 4-page bio. What a find.
Joey Welz - My Kind Of Country is Rock 'N' Roll (1989)
It was really weird finding this record because I've met this dude. At a few different music conferences. He played keys for Bill Haley & His Comets for like 3 years in the early 60's and he will tell you that within 20 seconds of meeting him. The back cover of this is just photos of him sidled up to famous musicians (Haley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino ) with their names underneath their picture just to let you know he's the real deal. Such a strange find.
Dr. Dallas F. Billington - This Is Your Funeral (1966)
So the front cover of this corresponds with the first side of the record, titled "This Is Your Funeral If You Are a Christian." The back cover is a black, closed casket in a dark room and it is titled "This Is Your Funeral If You Die Unsaved." Easy, Billington, you're scaring the shit out of me here.
The Windows - Runnin' Alone (1987)
Private-press pop/rock out of Jackson, Mississippi that is actually really sharp for what it is. You know these dudes had some good times.
Gertrude Patrick - My Evangelistic Specials (196?)
Sealed, private-press gospel LP with a photo of a much younger, hollow-eyed Gertrude on the back. Borderline terrifying!
Al Dean & The All Stars - Kick'n (1967)
From the back: "People who like to dance will want to kick up their heels when they listen to this instrumental Album by Al Dean & The All Stars." Sounds good.
Lee Castro - It Won't Be Long (196?)
Religious LP out of Fort Worth, Texas that features a picture of this guy's wife on the back with her ventriloquist dummy, Danny Jose, who is in a mariachi outfit and has a ridiculous mustache. She's white with blonde hair, of course.
Larry Norman - Stop This Flight (1986)
Frank Black always talked about how he was a big fan of Larry Norman, and the guy seems genuinely interesting, especially for a Christian rocker. This is one of over 100 albums he put out.
Wickline - Wickline (1981)
Wickline is the name of about a third of the people in this band that is out of Fox Island, WA. Think it might be spiritual. I dig that cover.

Private-press Hare Krishna folk LP recorded in Nashville. Sealed! But I should probably crack it open and hear what these crazy kooks have to say. It could change my life.
And, mercifully, that's the end of what I picked up. Poor kid behind the counter had a hell of a time figuring out the discounts for me, but after he did, I owed less than 90 bucks for all of this. Not bad at all. And I wasn't done with Nashville yet!

Few reports are available about the ichthyofauna of typical semi-arid rivers, although the regional diversity has been constantly threatened by human activities, mainly related to impoundment and construction of dams. The goal of the present work was to evaluate using different methods, the population genetic structure of a characin fish, Astyanax aff. bimaculatus, widespread throughout hydrographic basins of Bahia, Northeastern Brazil. Morphological (meristic and morphometric data), cytogenetic (karyotype and Ag-NOR), and molecular (RAPD and SPAR) analyses were carried out in specimens collected upstream and downstream of Pedra Dam, in the main channel of Contas River (Contas River Basin), and in the Mineiro stream, which belongs to the adjacent Recôncavo Sul basin. Few external differences were detected among populations, where the individuals collected upstream of Pedra Dam were slightly larger than the others. Cytogenetic data also showed a similar karyotypic pattern (2n=50; 6m+28sm+12st+4a; FN= 96) and NORs located on the short arms of up to two chromosome pairs, with numerical inter- and intra-populational variation. Nonetheless, RAPD and SPAR analyses differentiated reliably the three populations, revealing striking differences in the allele frequencies among the localities studied and a significant difference in population structure index (Fst=0.1868, P<0.0001). The differences between populations within a same river were as significant as those between distinct hydrographic basins, indicating that the dam/reservoir represents an effective barrier to gene flow. Additionally, environmental peculiarities from each locality are also believed to influence the genetic patterns detected herein. On the other hand, the similarity between samples from Contas River and Recôncavo Sul basins could be related to a common evolutionary history, since both basins are geographically close to each other. Finally, the present study shows that a multi-approach analysis is particularly useful in identifying the population structure of widely distributed species and to evaluate the impacts of human activities on natural fish populations.
Key words: Morphometry, Cytogenetics, RAPD, Population structure, Contas River.
Poucos estudos ictiofaunísticos estão disponíveis em rios típicos do semi-árido, apesar da constante ameaça à diversidade local devido a influências antrópicas, com destaque para o represamento e construção de barragens. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar, por meio de diferentes metodologias, a estrutura genética de populações de uma espécie de caracídeo, Astyanax aff. bimaculatus, amplamente distribuída em bacias hidrográficas da Bahia, Nordeste do Brasil. Análises morfológicas (dados merísticos e morfométricos), citogenéticas (cariótipo e Ag-RONs) e moleculares (RAPD e SPAR) foram realizadas em espécimes coletados à montante e à jusante da Barragem da Pedra, na calha principal do médio rio de Contas (bacia do Rio de Contas) e no ribeirão Mineiro, pertencente à bacia adjacente do Recôncavo Sul. Poucas diferenças externas foram detectadas entre as populações, sendo os indivíduos originários do reservatório, à montante da barragem, ligeiramente maiores. Os dados citogenéticos também mostraram padrões cariotípicos semelhantes (2n=50; 6m+28sm+12st+4a; FN= 96) e RONs situadas nos braços curtos de até dois pares cromossômicos, com variação numérica inter- e intra-populacional. Contudo, as análises por RAPD e SPAR diferenciaram as três populações de forma eficiente, revelando freqüências alélicas significativamente diferentes entre as localidades amostradas e índices significativos de estruturação populacional (Fst=0.1868, P<0.0001). As diferenças entre populações do mesmo rio foram tão significativas quanto entre bacias hidrográficas distintas, indicando que a represa constitui uma barreira eficiente ao fluxo gênico. Além disso, acredita-se que peculiaridades ambientais de cada localidade possam também influenciar os padrões genéticos encontrados. Por outro lado, a similaridade entre amostras das bacias do Rio de Contas e Recôncavo Sul pode estar relacionada a uma história evolutiva comum, já que ambas estão geograficamente próximas. Por fim, o presente estudo demonstra que a realização de estudos envolvendo diferentes marcadores é extremamente útil para a identificação de estruturas de populações em espécies amplamente distribuídas e para avaliação dos impactos das atividades humanas sobre as populações naturais de peixes.
The Contas River hydrographic basin is entirely located in the state of Bahia, Northeastern Brazil (12º55' to 15º30'S, 39º00' to 42º35'W), comprising a drainage area of 64,933 km2, and limited by the Recôncavo Sul, Paraguaçu, São Francisco, Pardo and Eastern hydrographic basins. Its headwaters originate in the Diamantina Plateau (about 1,500 m high) and flow over 620 km before reaching the Atlantic Ocean, encompassing several small to large riverine systems, waterfalls and a high urban concentration (SRHSH, 1993; CRA, 2001; MMA, 2006a). The Contas River Basin is influenced by an array of climate types, ranging from humid to dry. A tropical rain climate is found along the coast and it becomes progressively drier inland, where it shows semi-arid characteristics. Therefore, three physiogeographic regions can be distinguished along this basin: upper, middle and lower Contas River, characterized by semi-arid (Caatinga biome), semi-arid/tropical transition and humid climates (Atlantic rain forest), respectively (SRHSH, 1993; MMA, 2006b).
Contas River is the main river of this hydrographic basin and represents one of the most important water systems in the state of Bahia (CRA, 2002; MMA, 2006b). However, little is known about the ichthyofauna of this river and its tributaries, even though several human activities are likely to affect the local fish assemblages.
In the sixties, a large reservoir (Pedra Dam) was built in the main channel of the Contas River, near the municipality of Jequié (semi-arid belt, middle Contas region) in order to control floods and impound water for dry periods and power supply. This reservoir has a water surface of nearly 70 km and a storage capacity of 1.7 billion cubic meters (SRHSH, 1993; MMA, 2006b).
By damming the rivers, their typical lotic features are affected, with consequent losses and formation of new habitats (Paiva, 1982; Vono et al., 2002). The ecotone mosaic within the impounded waters of a reservoir modify the spatial and temporal patterns of fish communities, such as trophic structure, ecological guilds and species diversity (Pianka, 1974; Winemiller & Leslie, 1992; Welcomme et al., 2005). Moreover, the construction of dams creates a new obstacle to gene flow among populations of aquatic organisms located upstream and downstream of dams, leading to alterations in gene frequencies (Avise & Felley, 1979). The constraints in dispersal and gene flow can affect intra- and inter-populational diversity levels, mainly of migratory species (Agostinho et al., 1992; Godinho & Godinho, 1994; Vrijenhoek, 1998; Hatanaka & Galetti, 2003).
Although the small characin fish Astyanax bimaculatus (Linnaeus, 1758) actually refers to specimens from Suriname, the so-called "bimaculatus-group" comprises at least 15 species of generalist and migratory fish, well adapted to both running and stagnant waters and widely distributed throughout Brazilian rivers (Esteves & Galetti, 1995; Agostinho et al., 1997; Garutti & Britski, 2000). Recent morphological studies have separated this group into distinct species such as Astyanax altiparanae from upper Paraná River, Brazil, but most still lack a proper nomination (Garutti, 1998; Garutti & Britski, 2000). Genetic studies carried out in this widespread and closely related group of species have been helpful in understanding the population structure and patterns of geographic isolation, thus providing a baseline for management and conservation programs (Paiva et al., 2006; Domingues et al., 2007; Kantek et al., 2007; Pazza et al., 2007 among others). Such studies, comprising an array of methods from morphology to cytogenetic and molecular markers, are particularly important to estimate the impact of human activities and environmental effects on Neotropical fish assemblages. However, these features remain unknown along hydrographic basins in the semi-arid region.
In order to evaluate the genetic structure of Astyanax aff. bimaculatus along Contas River Basin, morphometric, cytogenetic, and molecular studies were performed in populations located upstream and downstream of Pedra Dam (middle Contas River). Another population, from an adjacent hydrographic basin (Recôncavo Sul) was also included in the present work for comparative analyses. These data are discussed based on environmental peculiarities and geographic isolation of each collection site.
Sampling sites. Specimens of A. aff. bimaculatus were collected using gillnets at three localities: two collection sites in the main channel of the middle Contas River (Contas River Basin), and one in Mineiro stream (Recôncavo Sul Basin). Samples from the Contas River were obtained in the reservoir, 70 km upstream of Pedra Dam, in the city of Maracás, Porto Alegre County (13º52'5"S, 40º14'9"W, 230 m above sea level, site A) and nearly 25 km downstream of Pedra Dam, in the city of Jequié (13º54'84"S, 40º02'54"W, 216 m above sea level, site B). The sampling in Mineiro stream was carried out in the city of Itamari, Mineiro County, at 63 km from Jequié (13º60'54"S, 39º41'54"W, 285 m above sea level, site C) (Figs. 1-2).
Fish samples were transported to the laboratory and kept in separated tanks prior to morphometric, cytogenetic and molecular analyses. Voucher specimens were identified by Dr. Luiz R. Malabarba (UFRGS, Porto Alegre, RS) and deposited in the fish collection at Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia (identification numbers: MN198-202, MN204-208, PA236-241, RC311-317).
Morphological studies. Eighty-four specimens were collected for meristic and morphometric analyses (Table 1). The meristic characteristics considered were the number of scales in the lateral line (LLS), number of rays in the anal fin (AFR) and number of rays in the dorsal fin (DFR), according to Garutti (1998). Variance analysis (á = 5%) was performed to compare the average meristic values, using the GLM procedure in the software SAS (2004). The morphometric characters were: total length, head length, body height, caudal peduncle height, interorbital width, ocular diameter, preanal length, predorsal length, head height, and distances between dorsal and pectoral fins, pectoral and pelvic fins, pelvic and anal fins, dorsal and anal fins, anal and adipose fins, and dorsal and adipose fins (Lagler et al., 1977). The morphometric data were converted to body proportions and expressed in percentage in order to indicate the relationship between total length, head length, body height and other morphometric measurements.
Cytogenetic studies. Two males and 3 females of A. aff. bimaculatus from site A (Contas River, upstream Pedra Dam), 11 males and 8 females from site B (Contas River, downstream of Pedra Dam), and 17 individuals, including 5 males, 11 females and one unidentified, from site C (Mineiro stream) were cytogenetically analyzed (Table 1). Mitotic stimulation was performed on collected specimens 72h prior to cytogenetic procedures, as described by Molina (2001). Metaphasic chromosomes were obtained from kidney cells according to Bertollo et al. (1978). The slides were stained with 5% Giemsa for conventional analyses. The nucleolar organizer regions were detected by silver nitrate staining (Ag-NOR) (Howell and Black, 1980). The best metaphases were photographed in Imagelink KodakTM ISO 25 for chromosomal measurements, karyotyping and NOR analysis. The chromosome pairs were arranged in decreasing size order and classified as metacentric (M), submetacentric (SM), subtelocentric (ST) and acrocentric (A) (Levan et al., 1964).
Molecular studies. Tissue samples were obtained from epaxial muscle or gill filaments of about 25 specimens per collection site (Table 1) and fixed in 95% ethanol prior to molecular analyses. DNA extraction followed the CTAB protocol reported by Boyce et al. (1989), with slight modifications. The amplification reactions were performed according to Williams et al. (1990), comprising a final volume of 13 ml (3.42 ml H2O; 1.3 ml 10x buffer with 1 M MgCl2, 1.04 ml 2.5 mM dNTP; 1.05 ml bovine serum albumin, 3 ml primer at 2.5 mM, 0.2 ml 5 U/ml Taq polymerase and 3 ml of 2.5 ng template DNA). PCR reactions were carried out in a Mastercycler Gradient Eppendorf thermocycler with one initial heating step at 92ºC for 2 min, 40 cycles at 92ºC for 1 min, 35ºC for 1 min and 72ºC for 2 min, followed by a final extension step at 72ºC for 5 min. The amplified products were run for 3 h at 110V in 1.5% agarose gel and stained with ethidium bromide. The fragments were visualized under ultraviolet light and photographed for further analyses. The fragment size was estimated using a 1-kb molecular weight ladder (Fermentas Life Technologies).
Fifty RAPD and 17 SPAR primers (both provided by Operon Technologies) were screened. The rate of missing values per marker was estimated and the primers showing more than 25% of unrecorded data were excluded. Therefore, six RAPD primers (OPA-18, OPA-20, OPA-02, OPA-09, OPA-11, OPD-02) and five SPARs (SPAR1, SPAR2, SPAR17 SPAR16, SPAR15) were selected, since they produced an adequate number of scorable, polymorphic, and well-defined bands. Each individual was codified as a string of 1 and 0 indicating the presence or absence of amplification products and data entered into a binary matrix, assuming that each band represented a Mendelian locus of dominant behavior with a non-detectable recessive allele (Lynch & Milligan, 1994). The software ARLEQUIN (Schneider et al., 2000) was used to perform the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) and to estimate the inter-population variation by providing Fst values, considered the best parameters of population structure for RAPD studies (Excoffier et al., 1992; Hartl & Clark, 1997). According to Wright (1978), values of 0 to 0.05 indicate little genetic differentiation, 0.05 to 0.15 indicates moderate differentiation; 0.15 to 0.25 suggests a high differentiation, and values over 0.25 represent a very high genetic differentiation. The proportion of polymorphic loci and degree of population differentiation using Fisher's Exact test were carried out using the software TFPGA - Tools For Population Genetic Analysis (Miller, 1997).
Morphological studies. The mean and standard deviation values for the number of lateral line scales (LLS), and number of rays in the anal (AFR) and dorsal fins (DFR) of each A. aff. bimaculatus population are shown in Table 2. Such meristic features demonstrated little or no variation (e.g. DFR) among distinct collection sites, with a modal number of 33, 26 and 11 for LLS, AFR and DFR, respectively. Variance analysis also supported this finding, revealing no population effects in relation to the characteristics examined (P > 0.05).
Analyzing the mean absolute values for total length, head length and body height, we observed that specimens from the reservoir (site A) displayed higher values than individuals from other localities, thus supporting empirical findings that fish upstream of Pedra Dam were usually larger. However, inter-population differences were remarkably small when comparing percentage values in relation to total length, head length and body height. The only exceptions include the proportion between interorbital width, head height and head length, and between the caudal peduncle height and body height (Table 3).
Cytogenetic studies. The diploid number found in the three populations of A. aff. bimaculatus was equal to 2n = 50. A similar karyotype, composed of 6 metacentric, 28 submetacentric, 12 subtelocentric and 4 acrocentric chromosomes (FN = 96) was observed in both males and females from all collection sites (Figs. 3a-c).
Silver nitrate staining revealed an intra- and inter-individual polymorphism in the number of NOR-bearing chromosomes within populations of A. aff. bimaculatus. Positive signals, ranging from one to four Ag-NOR sites, were located in the telomeric region on short arms of SM/ST chromosome pairs (Fig. 3d) in all populations studied.
Molecular studies. The percentage of polymorphic loci in the three populations of A. aff. bimaculatus ranged from 85.71% in both Contas River samples (sites A and B) to 100% in Mineiro stream (site C). Based on Fisher's exact test, 42.8% (12) of the 28 loci analyzed showed significant differences (P < 0.05) among collection sites. The populations were also significantly different when information from all loci were considered (P < 0.0001).
The amount of genetic variability among and within the three populations of A. aff. bimaculatus inferred by analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) was equal to 18.69 and 81.31%, respectively, with significant values. Although intra-population variation was responsible for most of the genetic diversity in the studied samples, a high genetic differentiation was detected(Fst = 0.1868, P < 0.0001), indicating a population structure in A. aff. bimaculatus from the Northeastern river basins (Table 4).
Pairwise comparisons based on AMOVA also revealed highly significant divergences (P < 0.0001). A divergence level of 22.02% was detected between populations upstream and downstream of Pedra Dam (sites A and B, respectively). A lower divergence (about 13%) was found between populations from site A (Pedra Dam reservoir, Contas River Basin) and site C (Mineiro stream, Recôncavo Sul Basin) (Table 5).
Studies on the ichthyofauna of Northeastern Brazil still lack a detailed characterization and semi-arid regions, such as Caatinga (dry shrubland), have been formerly regarded as low diversity ecosystems. Nevertheless, a high level of endemism has been suggested for some fish groups inhabiting this biome, as a response to specific evolutionary processes provided by peculiar climate and hydrological features (Rosa, 2004; Rapini et al., 2006). For instance, recent studies reported nearly 240 fish species in semi-arid riverine systems, 57% of them being endemic (Rosa et al., 2003).
Besides the scarce information about regional fish fauna, many hydrographic basins in the semi-arid region are also threatened by environmental disturbances. The construction of dams and reservoirs are likely to decrease the local biodiversity before we even get to know it. Dams are able to disrupt the gene flow between upstream and downstream aquatic populations and affect the dispersal rate of several migratory fish (Avise & Felley, 1979; Agostinho et al., 1992; MMA, 2006a). They are responsible for changes in the water flow within a hydrographic system, with consequent losses of original habitats (Vono et al., 2002). Under specific circumstances, the reservoirs may lead to local extinction of populations unable to adapt to the drastic environmental modifications imposed (Godinho & Godinho, 1994). As a result, the constraints on dispersal, gene flow and fitness usually affect both inter- and intra-populational diversity (Vrijenhoek, 1998).
Actually, the localities selected in the present study are among several other hydrographic systems throughout the eastern Atlantic basin that have been deeply disturbed by human activities (CRA, 2002; MMA, 2006b). These practices have certainly altered natural ecosystems to an unknown extent. Such may be the case of the Pedra Dam in the middle portion of Contas River (Jequié-BA) (Paiva, 1982; SRHSH, 1993; MMA, 2006a).
The morphological analyses in populations of A. aff. bimaculatus from the Contas and Recôncavo Sul basins revealed a remarkable homogeneity of both meristic and morphometric characters among individuals, regardless of the collection site. Few exceptions to this pattern were observed, such as the differential proportion of the caudal peduncle height in the Recôncavo Sul sample. Moreover, specimens collected upstream of Pedra Dam (Porto Alegre County, site A) were, on average, larger than those from other samples (Table 3). Similarly, morphological analyses in allopatric populations of Astyanax altiparanae from upper Paraná River Basin revealed several overlaps among measurements in individuals at distinct sites but significant differences were observed regarding the caudal peduncle height (Domingues et al., 2007). These data suggest that such morphometric character could be a valuable parameter in distinguishing, morphologically, populations in these fish groups.
The apparent lack of a remarkable morphological differentiation as observed in the samples of A. aff. bimaculatus studied could indicate that populations, mainly within the same basin, are connected. Nonetheless, it should be recalled that morphological variations within several fish species become detectable when considered over large geographical distances (e.g., Molina et al., 2006) or in the presence of highly effective geographic barriers. For instance, Paiva et al. (2006) analyzed meristic characters in populations of A. bimaculatus from the Doce River Basin and found significant differences based on F statistics (P < 0.05) between samples from the Santana and Casca rivers, currently separated by Grande Falls. This waterfall is the largest (15m) within the sample range and could represent a effective barrier between populations by affecting the survival of eggs and larvae flowing downstream. In some cases, even genetically distinguishable populations can keep their morphological resemblance, as corroborated by the absence of visible morphological differences in individuals of Astyanax fasciatus from the Mogi-Guaçu River bearing distinct cytotypes (Pazza et al., 2007).
On the other hand, some morphometric studies in other Astyanax representatives can reveal a high degree of differentiation, such as the one observed in samples of A. fasciatus collected at different sites along Recôncavo Sul and Contas River basins, suggesting that this species could have a higher phenotypic plasticity than A. aff. bimaculatus. Furthermore, in the same report, the morphological data were supported by chromosomal differences (Medrado et al., 2008).
In the present work, the karyotypes of A. aff. bimaculatus populations were identical and the diploid number found (2n=50) is the same as described elsewhere for this species group. Actually, cytogenetic studies in several populations of A. bimaculatus and closely related species (e.g. Astyanax altiparanae) have also shown a chromosomal homogeneity, regarding both diploid number and karyotypic formula, when compared to other Astyanax species (Morelli et al., 1983; Fernandes & Martins-Santos, 2004; Fernandes & Martins-Santos, 2006; Domingues et al., 2007).
According to Oliveira et al. (2007), migratory rate and population density can influence the karyotypic macrostructure of a species. That is, the greater the mobility and number of individuals of a group, the more stable the karyotypic macrostructure will be, since gene flow would be higher and the fixation of chromosomal rearrangements hindered. Following this trend, representatives of the "bimaculatus-group" have been referred to as migratory and generalist species (Esteves & Galetti, 1995) and most of the studied populations usually maintain conserved macrokaryotypic features within the same hydrographic basin (Morelli et al., 1983; Paganelli, 1990 among others).
Nonetheless, the present data reveal that populations from the state of Bahia have a differentiated karyotypic formula in relation to other Brazilian hydrographic basins, indicating a high structural chromosomal diversity in the Astyanax group comprising the yellow-tailed characins. These results coupled with the available data in the literature (e.g., high chromosomal diversity, presence of distinct cytotypes and few cases of natural hybrid forms) can putatively indicate inter-specific differences, since Astyanax commonly comprises species complexes (see Pazza & Kavalco, 2007 for a review).
Furthermore, banding techniques, such as Ag-NOR staining, could eventually indicate a higher degree of differentiation among apparent homogeneous populations (Kantek et al., 2007). In fact, the number and location of active NORs can be a useful tool to discriminate fish species and/or populations with similar karyotypes, as observed in A. altiparanae (Pacheco et al., 2001). The present results reinforce the polymorphic nature of the major ribosomal sites and the structural chromosomal variation usually detected in Astyanax species, since the number of Ag-NORs ranged from one to four signals. However, no cytogenetic populational marker was evident by analyzing the number and/or location of active NORs in this study, since they varied both within and among the populations of A. aff. bimaculatus studied. Moreover, it should be pointed out that the present cytogenetic results were based on conventional analyses. Additional studies using distinct and refined chromosomal markers could eventually reveal inter-population differences within each sample, as observed in several other studies within Astyanax (Fernandes & Martins-Santos, 2006; Kantek et al., 2007 among others).
In spite of the high morphological and cytogenetic resemblance among the A. aff. bimaculatus populations studied, our molecular data revealed a significant populational structure (Fst=0.1868). Curiously, a higher divergence level was observed between populations within Contas River Basin and isolated by the dam than between basins (Contas and Recôncavo Sul) (Table 5).
The levels of genetic differentiation among populations are supposed to reflect either their period or degree of isolation (Hartl & Clark, 1989). Although recently constructed (nearly 40 years ago) (CRA, 2002; MMA, 2006a, b), Pedra Dam has been responsible for profound scenario changes (a former narrow fast-flowing river free from relevant physical barriers turned into an impounded reservoir) and already seems to represent an effective barrier to gene flow.
In the case of Neotropical fish, the few reports addressing the relationship between genetic structure of populations separated by artificial barriers (dams) and consequent differences in environmental features have found similar results. Hatanaka & Galetti (2003), using RAPD markers in populations of Prochilodus marggravii in the São Francisco River Basin, revealed that the fish collected close to Três Marias Dam have a higher similarity coefficient than those from other downstream sites far from the dam. Additionally, significant differences in the band frequencies were observed among localities. According to the authors, both findings suggest the presence of structured populations in distinct natural P. marggravii stocks. The same scenario was observed in populations of another Neotropical fish species, Brycon lundii, where different allele frequencies were fixed upstream and downstream of Três Marias Dam (Wasko & Galetti, 2002). Furthermore, the waters impounded after the construction of dams and reservoirs often provide a secondary contact between populations previously isolated (totally or partially) by natural obstacles. For instance, studies of genetic differentiation based on RAPD markers and coloration pattern in fish of the genus Steindachnerina from the upper Paraná River Basin indicated the occurrence of two different species. Spotted specimens were identified as Steindachnerina brevipinna, formerly found downstream of Sete Quedas Falls, suggesting that this species must have overcome the geographical barrier after the building of Itaipu Dam, which submerged the waterfalls - a former obstacle between upper and middle Paraná River basins (Oliveira et al., 2002). Similar evidence has also been reported in other fish species along this floodplain, such as Hemisorubim platyrhynchos (Prioli et al., 2004).
Apart from human-imposed environmental changes, particular biotic and abiotic features can also play a key role in the divergence pattern observed among populations. Environmental factors influence phenotypes both directly and indirectly, via trait correlations and interactions with other environmental variables, as demonstrated in several fish species (Langerhans et al., 2007). Analogously, they are also supposed to determine the genetic pattern of natural populations as well. A significant genetic differentiation among sites and no relationship between genetic differences and geographical distances were detected by RAPD markers in populations of the African cyprinid Barbus neumayeri. These data suggest that population structure is more related to habitat-specific selection pressures (different water flow and hypoxia levels per site) on dispersers, rather than insufficient dispersal (Chapman et al., 1999).
As a matter of fact, recent colonization and adaptation to new habits have been proved to affect the genetic structure of migratory fish and to result in fast reproductive isolation among populations. Genetic evidences for the salmonid fish Oncorhynchus nerka consistently showed that nearby populations introduced into divergent environments evolved to reproductively isolated "ecotypes" after fewer than 13 generations (Hendry et al., 2000). Considering that Astyanax species show remarkable ability to adapt to different habitats and a short life cycle (Garutti, 1989; Orsi et al., 2004), their populations may putatively change even faster.
If environmental features, whether natural or artificially imposed, are able to affect the genetic structure among populations of a species, the diversity pattern observed by molecular markers in the populations of A. aff. bimaculatus studied here are likely to reflect habitat peculiarities of each collection site. Actually, the first sampled area (site A) is located 70 km upstream of Pedra Dam, at the upper part of the reservoir in the Contas River. It represents a lotic and unpolluted ecosystem, surrounded by typical caatinga vegetation. Large specimens were easily collected at this site which usually indicates the occurrence of more suitable conditions for the development of local populations (Orsi et al., 2004). At collection site B (downstream of the dam, in Contas River), the natural environment is highly damaged by the daily oscillation in the water flow and by both domestic and industrial sewage from the city of Jequié (CRA, 2002). The third collection site (C), located in the Recôncavo Sul Basin, represents a small stream located in the Atlantic rainforest zone (see Fig. 2).
On the other hand, while particular environmental features may explain the differences observed among populations, especially within the same basin (sites A and B), historic facts can provide some insight about the close relationship between populations from distinct basins (Contas and Recôncavo Sul) (Table 5). Mineiro stream is located near Contas River (about 60 km apart), being separated by a small hill system with a putative common evolutionary history. Hypothetically, the occurrence of some past geological events in the area studied, such as headwater capture, could lead to genetic similarity between populations from currently separated (although adjacent) river basins. In fact, recent studies on biogeography in freshwater fishes along Brazilian coastal basins support the idea of an ancient connectivity among rivers from nearby areas (Pazza & Kavalco, 2007). For instance, connectivity and divergence patterns in fish assemblages along southeastern drainages seem to be related to past tectonic movements (Ribeiro, 2006; Ribeiro et al., 2006). Moreover, a database of the quaternary faults and tectonic behavior over the last 1.6 millions of years along the Brazilian territory indicate that several geological events have taken place throughout the northeastern coast (Saadi et al., 2002). Unfortunately, the hydrographic systems in the state of Bahia and most of the northeastern region still lack specific studies focusing on their biogeographic or geological aspects, and thus, the present suggestions remain speculative.
Finally, despite the population structure detected herein, the intra-population genetic variability was higher (81.31%) than among populations, showing that most of the variation refers to differences among individuals within populations. Similar results have been commonly reported by genetic studies with molecular markers in natural fish populations (Leuzzi et al., 2004; Paiva et al., 2006; Affonso & Galetti, 2007). Other studies on small and isolated populations of domestic animals have also demonstrated such pattern, indicating that, even under inbreeding conditions, the levels of genetic variation within populations is usually higher than that observed among populations of a single species (e.g., Albuquerque et al., 2006).
The results of the present work are also important for highlighting the applicability of molecular markers in detecting differences within species characterized by a conservative morphological and/or cytogenetic pattern. Unlike from some other freshwater fish populations (e.g., Astyanax fasciatus) where distinct morphological and cytogenetic features have corroborated further molecular analyses (Pazza et al., 2007; Medrado et al., 2008), the populations of A. aff. bimaculatus studied here showed low levels of both morphometric and meristic differences and a similar karyotypic structure. Such lack of congruence between molecular and morphology/karyotype data is commonly found in species composed of large and highly-connected populations (intense gene flow), such as marine fish (Galetti et al., 2006; Affonso & Galetti, 2007). In these cases, the utilization of highly sensitive DNA markers is essential to help us understand how fish populations respond to natural selection or environmental changes caused by human activities, providing a useful baseline for the conservation and sustainable management of natural populations.

Twitter To Shut Down Their Music App
David on March 24, 2014 | Twitter | Comments (0)
Less than 1 year ago, we reported that Twitter launched their own Music app for IOS which gives you music recommendations from your friends and people you follow.
Twitter have announced that they will be shutting down the service and the application will stop working on April 18.
Twitter confirmed the closure in the following tweet:
Later this afternoon, we will be removing Twitter #music from the App Store. If you have the app, it will continue to work until April 18.
— Twitter Music (@TwitterMusic) March 21, 2014
Will you miss the service?
Many people didn’t even know it existed and we can all assume it didn’t get the traction Twitter was looking for.
I did think it was a little strange when they first launched the service, especially creating a totally separate application that many didn’t know existed. I always thought if it was integrated into the existing app it would have got much greater traction.
You never know, maybe that is their plan for the future.

Minister Rickford Announces $8k in Machin Infrastructure Funding
Minister Greg Rickford
Machin, Ont. — Ontario is working to support municipalities and get people moving by investing in new transit and road infrastructure projects in the Municipality of Machin.
Kenora MPP, Minister Greg Rickford announced today that “The Ford Government is investing close to $8,000 in a transit and road infrastructure projects in Machin by nominating them under the Public Transit stream and Rural and Northern stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP).”
“We are working closely with our municipal partners across Northwestern Ontario to support community infrastructure that will improve the lives of families and small business,” said Greg Rickford, MPP for Kenora-Rainy River. “I am hopeful the Federal government will move quickly to approve this funding so the Municipality of Machin can get moving on these important projects.”
“The transit projects announced today promise to make a real difference in people’s lives,” said Laurie Scott, Minister of Infrastructure. “Better public transit creates stronger communities. It helps people spend less time commuting to work and home, and more time doing the things they love with those they care about most.”
The projects are now with the federal government for final funding decisions as they are reviewed for eligibility under the ICIP program. Some projects could begin as soon as Fall 2019. If approved, the nominated projects will be eligible for total funding of more than $15.3 million from the federal, provincial and municipal governments.
The Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program is a federal-provincial cost-sharing program which includes up to $30 billion in federal, provincial and other partner funding over 10years. Ontario’s share per project will be up to 33.33 percent or about $10.2 billion spread across four streams: 1. Rural and Northern, 2. Public Transit, 3. Green, 4. Community, Culture and Recreation.
The Rural and Northern in-take focused on road, bridge, air and marine infrastructure in rural and northern communities with populations under 100,000 people.
A total of 144 road, bridge, air and marine infrastructure projects have been nominated to date under the Rural and Northern stream.
The second intake of ICIP applications was for transit projects in municipalities outside the GTHA. Funding is allocated to transit systems based on a municipality’s or municipalities’ share of total transit ridership in Ontario as per the 2015 Canadian Urban Transit Association Fact Book. This allocations-based funding model was set by the federal government. The Province has nominated 144 transit infrastructure projects from 42 municipalities outside of the GTHA under the Public Transit stream of ICIP. More nominations from this intake will be announced later this year.
On July 22, 2019, Ontario announced that until October 24, municipalities inside the GTHA can apply for funding to support new transit projects under the Public Transit Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. Information on additional intakes will be released when available.
The government also nominated five major transit projects in the City of Toronto and Region of York to the federal government for approval.

Immune System Boost!
If you don't have good nutrition, you're missing a key weapon against colds and flu. Basics include the famously nutrient-dense leafy greens, berries and nuts. You may be surprised by these six other top immune boosters suggested by Tonia Reinhard, registered dietitian and author of Superfoods, and Joel Fuhrman, M.D., author of Super Immunity. Note: Don't expect immediate results. Fuhrman says you'll need superior nutrition for a few months to see a real effect on your body's defenses.
• Fatty fish: Oily fish such as salmon, tuna and trout are rich in selenium and omega-3 fatty acids (that's the good type of fat that reduces inflammation, increases airflow and protects lungs by increasing the activity of white blood cells that eat up bacteria). "Fatty fish has powerful immune effects and is so important for making the structures and antibodies for the immune system," says Reinhard. Prescription: Eat two servings of fish per week.
MORE: Separate the facts from flu fiction
STORY: The cure for the common cold? There is none
• Onions: Onions, leeks, garlic, shallots and scallions contain , not to mention health-promoting flavonoid antioxidants such as quercetin, allicin and anthocyanins, which have anti-inflammatory effects that fight infection and bacteria, says Fuhrman. Prescription: Eat a half-cup daily.
• Mushrooms: Consuming mushrooms regularly stimulates the immune system by increasing the production and activity of white blood cells, which help you fight off infection. Prescription: Eat cooked or lightly steamed, not raw, says Fuhrman.
• Yogurt: "Yogurt, especially Greek yogurt, has active cultures (known as probiotics) which are a friendly bacteria that keeps down the population of pathogens in the GI tract," says Reinhard. Prescription: Eat 8 ounces daily.
• Eggs: "The highest-quality protein of any food, eggs contain the compound choline, which keeps invaders from getting into the body," says Reinhard. "When we keep things from crossing the cell membrane, which causes inflammation, especially in the GI tract, we prevent autoimmune diseases like Crohn's and colitis." Prescription: Eat one egg for breakfast several times a week.
• Beans: A nutritional powerhouse, beans and other legumes are the most nutrient-dense carbohydrate source, says Fuhrman. Rich in zinc, beans increase the production and aggressiveness of white blood cells fighting infection. Prescription: Eat a half-cup twice a week.
• Greens: The most nutrient-dense foods, raw leafy greens contain less than 100 calories per pound, and are packed with nutrients that protect blood vessels, reduce inflammation and neutralize oxidative stress, says Fuhrman. Prescription: Eat a salad every day.
• Berries: Berries are low in sugar and high in nutrients and antioxidants, which reduces inflammation, prevents DNA damage, inhibits tumor angiogenesis and stimulates the body's own antioxidant enzymes, says Fuhrman. Prescription: Eat three fresh fruits daily.
• Nuts: With high levels of healthy fats, nuts are rich in a spectrum of micronutrients including phytosterols, minerals and antioxidants, which provide cardiovascular benefits, weight maintenance and diabetes prevention, says Fuhrman. Nuts are also high in protein and minerals like zinc, selenium and magnesium, which help fight off infection. Prescription: Eat 1 ounce per day.

“Fraud Dog” Calls on Congress to Declare War on Fraud Attacking our Economy, Eating Away at Jobs and Consumer Confidence
Blog, Press Releases
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — “Compromise-challenged Democrats and Republicans would find a more unifying path toward debt reduction by declaring war on the arch enemy of our economy–fraud,” said Linda Webb, star of “Fraud Dog,” a series heading for television.
“It’s a debt-end path yet to be taken decisively by our Nation’s leaders,” according to Webb, whose series is in the genre of America’s Most Wanted. “What America wants most is putting an end to fraud, a multi-billion dollar criminal industry, costing Americans more than the combined annual spending of many countries,” she barked.
Webb urges Congress “to declare war on the staggering amount of fraud, which is terrorizing citizens and plaguing the economy as a growing army of determined fraudsters stealthily attack everything America holds dear, from workers’ comp to Medicare.”
Medicare fraud – estimated now to total $60 billion a year – has become one of the most profitable crimes in America. “Fraudsters are like terrorists waging relentless attacks on unsuspecting victims.”
“If government declares war on fraud it would end the political stalemate brought about by anti-compromise political agendas in Washington,” Webb said.
“Every decent person in this country, regardless of their political persuasion, is united against fraud, especially in these tough economic times. We should reward companies who proactively fight FRAUD throughout their business process.”
“If there’s anything politicians can rally around it’s stopping fraud that robs us all of our money, identity and dignity.”
About Linda Webb:
Linda Webb, aka “The Fraud Dog,” has dedicated 30 years to fighting fraud, handling the most complex fraud schemes involving organized crime rings and terrorist groups domestically and internationally. She has worked with investigative news shows like Prime Time and 20/20, and her unit has completed over 19,000 investigations, with over $1.2 billion in savings. She has worked closely with local law enforcement, task force operations, FBI, special prosecutors, Attorney Generals, and other federal and state enforcement agencies. Her cases have been used as the “fraud model” for fighting terrorism after 9/11.
Webb (http://thefrauddog.com) began her career in law enforcement and is President of Contego Services Group, LLC, a provider of insurance and risk management services, offering her innovative SWARM-link technology, a new insurance investigation system, which identifies suspicious workers’ compensation claims much earlier.

Is Gerrit Cole the Pinstriped Answer?...
Jim Leyritz is reporting it so it must be true…
The cold Gerrit Cole rumors began reheating last night. According to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, “Yankees, Pirates renewing Gerrit Cole discussions according to source”. I am not sure how or why Jim Leyritz is always ‘in the know’ (he was among the first to report the Yankees had consummated the trade for Giancarlo Stanton), but he posted the following tweet earlier this morning: “Feinsand is right on. Cole deal had been agreed on in principle at winter meetings. Just a matter of pieces. Cole side wants to get this done before New Year. Happy New Year Yankees Fans.”
Credit: Julie Jacobson, AP
So, regardless of whether you like this deal or not, it sounds like Gerrit Cole will soon be joining the New York Yankees. In other words, Chasen Shreve, it’s time to think about a new number.
The Cole rumors are the polar opposite of the fan reaction leading up to last summer’s acquisition of Sonny Gray. I had injury concerns about Gray but most fans, including myself, were in support of the trade for Gray despite the high cost. I personally like the idea of adding Cole, who may arguably be only the fourth best starter in the Yankees rotation. I think he would be energized by playing in front of New York fans at Yankee Stadium and the rock star status the Yankees hold with road games. I know that Pirates pitching coach Ray Searage is known as the Pitching Whisperer, but I’d really like to see what Larry Rothschild could do with Cole. The dude has premium stuff so Larry has much to work with. It’s not like we’d be bringing Jaime Garcia back to the Bronx. But many Yankees fans I know hate the idea of bringing Cole into the highly competitive AL East, particularly given his propensity to give up homers last season. Maybe it’s a big “if”, but if the Yankees could get Cole pitching closer to his ace potential, the Yankees starting pitching rotation would be one of the AL’s best.
Many fans are upset that we’ll potentially lose outfielder Clint Frazier and a top pitching prospect like Chance Adams. All things considered, I’d probably prefer to give up Adams over Justus Sheffield or Albert Abreu. But at the end of the day, I trust GM Brian Cashman and his team to make the right decisions. Cashman is rarely fleeced in a deal and I don’t think he’ll overpay in this situation. You keep hearing that the Pirates want Gleyber Torres but that’s not happening.
I don’t like Frazier-Adams for Cole alone. I think the Pirates would also need to include 2B/3B Josh Harrison for that high of a cost. Frazier-Adams for Cole-Harrison is a potential win/win for both sides in my opinion.
Credit: Rob Carr, Getty Images
If anything, I am a little sick that Clint Frazier has been made a redundant player because of the presence of Jacoby Ellsbury on the Yankees roster. In an ideal world, the Yankees would clear out Ellsbury and Brett Gardner to open room for the younger guys. The Yankees apparently tried to engage the San Francisco Giants in trade talks for Ellsbury but the Giants prefer other outfield options. Given the spacious outfield at AT&T Park, I think either Ellsbury or Gardner would be a good fit for the Giants. Plus, the Giants train in Scottsdale, Arizona which is close to Ellsbury’s home (an enticement to get him to waive his no-trade clause). I remain hopeful the Yankees can find a way to ship out Ellsbury despite the cash and prospects that will need to be included. Ellsbury and his contract hurt the Yankees in so many ways.
The Cole Rumors continue to be the one that will not die. Last night’s flurry of reports after days of nothing seem to indicate something could happen soon. Either way, I’d like to see the Yankees pull the trigger or move on. And under no circumstances should they be forced to overpay. There are other strong options without having to hand our list of top ten prospects to another team.
If New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon is irate about the Yankees’ acquisition of Giancarlo Stanton, I wonder how he’ll feel if the Yankees upgrade their starting rotation too? Fred, it sucks to be you.
Go Yankees!

Super Trans: Transgender in Comic Books with M.W. Bychowski
"You can't prove who you are...
and if we ask other people to tell us we're real,
we've lost everything"
Kate "Coagula" Godwin
The Doom Patrol
Super-Trans
It was Saturday, March 5th in Exeter, New Hampshire when I walked down a narrowly flight that likely inspired (along with the famous song) the naming of the Stairway to Heaven Comic Book Store (SWtH). I had a good relationship with the shops owner, a retired English teacher. At our first meeting, when he found out about my research on trans literature, he had insisted that I share some of my work with him. Upon getting to know each other more, the topic of my Transform Talks and workshops came up. He invited me to speak some evening in one of his shops. We planned the event to happen before my family and I moved to Connecticut. If the event went well, such Transform Talks would be a good excuse to get me to travel back to Maine/New Hampshire for visits. In any case, it was a parting gift to one another, an event that could share the conversations we have had in the store with a wider audience as well as a way to say bon voyage to that community. A poster was drawn up to advertise the event, along with a few “variants” to be available to subscribers of our different social media. This mimicked the practice in comics where variant and exclusive covers are released along with special issues in order to drum up the interest of collectors. Word got around the store as well as among local activists and a comic book reading group. For a while, both of our expectations were fairly conservative. The owner promised that if nothing else he would be there and we could have a nice informal discussion on the topic. Yet as I arrived at the store to find the room set up for the Transform Talk, the room was already filling with some twenty or so attendants. This would be a good discussion.
The subject of the talk, “Super Trans: Transgender in Comic Books,” had struck a cord with many so that attendants roped in family and friends to come. We began by going around the room and introducing ourselves, named our preferred pronouns, and explaining what had brought us here today. Most but not all present claimed that they had only encountered transgender rarely in comics and others admitted that the only instances they could remember are from video games. Nonetheless, by the end of the circuit, I had added several titles to my list that I would explore later. The crowd began to flip through books when I passed around a stack of comics that would be featured in today’s talk. I also affirmed that a special attendant would win a free comic at the close of the evening, as promised on the poster. (The winner of the comic ended up choosing "Angela: Queen of Hel #1" on my recommendation). Beginning to write on the board, I explained that the focus of today’s talk was to explore how transgender functions narratively in comic books. For the time being, this would push beyond or aside the work of merely listing transgender characters in comics, debating who could or could not be considered trans, or answering the very interesting question of the presence of transgender readers and writers in the industry. The key topics of the talk would be how comic books use: (1) transgender as metaphor, (2) transgender as narrative, and (3) transgender as perspective.
Before I began, I gave a preliminary history and set of definitions. Surprising some not familiar with my typical area of study, I drew the history of transgender in comic books back to the medieval period. The erotic narratives, battle scenes, and many iterations of characters familiar to comics are present in chivalric romance. Yet furthermore, so is the practice of sequential art. Many who approach medieval manuscript images for the first time may be confused when they see the same character appearing many times in a single page, assuming that the duplication is the mistake of the artist or the viewer. To understand how the illustrations work, one must think like a comic book reader. Multiple scenes often appear played out on a single page but without the bars to separate them. Gawain can be scene conversing in one corner, fighting in another, and fleeing in a third. Beyond the form and narratives, trans characters such as Sir Silence from Roman de Silence serve as forerunners to later trans warriors in comics as would be evident when we got to the next section. Jumping ahead to modern comics, we see trans figures presented as farcical and usually evil or amoral characters such as the duplicitous He-She whose left side and right side were split male and female. Then we reached an era in the late 1980s and 1990s were transgender characters were being presented among other queer persons. Then comes (as in other genres) about 20 years where transgender characters nearly vanished from comics in order to allow more normative and integrated versions of gay and lesbians to take the focus. Recently, in the past few years comics have begun using the word transgender and even offering a few characters. Yet even when transgender discourses weren't being mentioned by name or dignified, the power of trans lives were still being utilized as metaphors, narratives, and perspectives.
Transgender as Metaphor
The order of the topics was explained as I began discussing “transgender as metaphor,” noting that this form of integration is in many respects the least reflective of trans experiences or political concerns. In fact, at this level, transgender does not need to be embodied or identified by any specific character. Rather, the name or cultural meanings of transgender hover at the level of association in order to do what metaphors do best: explain one thing by means of another. Something or someone is meant to be understood as “transgender like.” Even when a trans person is present, they are not presented for their own sake but in order to help aid in understanding another character or organization. A relatively benign example of this exists in the current Batgirl Comic where her former roommate, Alysia Yeoh, revealed herself as transgender on the same night that Batgirl reveals that she was formerly a woman with disabilities, living for many years in a wheelchair. The mirroring, coming out trans as Batgirl came out crip, demonstrates just one way that transgender is used to help shed light on the telling of super hero secret identities and origin stories. The movement from a place of secure secrecy to revelation is one super heroes have played out to exhaustion but by introducing a transgender counter-point the tired old trope takes on new life. Suddenly in the light of transgender, the super revelation is revived with signals of long feared social prejudice and internal struggles. Importantly, the long held yet often denied association between transgender and disability is affirmed. The act of passing as a cisgender woman mirrors the experience of passing as able-bodied; even super-abled; positioning the pre-transition past as a source of shame and secrecy. Yeoh’s story is not greatly elaborated, as in the case of black side-kicks or gay best friends, her story is not there primarily for her own sake but to further the story of the cisgender hero.
Transgender as Narrative
Beyond merely existing as a metaphorical way of understanding conventional cisgender issues, comics at times positions characters (especially non-trans characters) in recognizably transgender narratives. The effect of adapting stories in such ways is to position "transgender as narrative." The classic example of transgender being mimicked in narrative is the gender-swap story where a normatively cisgender character finds themselves temporarily transposed into another gender. Typically the goal of such narratives is the overcoming of the gender-swap. Such conclusions are framed as a cure and a return to normalcy. I call this structure the "Super Trans" narrative because it positions certain people as heroic because they were able to overcome the transgender situation. By structuring narratives in such a way, transgender is itself treated as the problem to be fixed, resolved, or overcome in a Super Trans narrative. The goal should be an experience as close to cisgender norms as possible. Even when the story uses a trans identified character, the person can still be caught in a Super-Trans narrative. Transition towards the identified gender coincides with the plot moving forward. The unreal gender is replaced by the real gender. Gender dysphoria is muted. Surgery, hormones, or some other scientific or magical apparatus corrects the body. A problem with the Super Trans narrative is that it can be easily inverted by a turn of rhetoric. The claimed identity can be treated as the unreal identity and the character is to be corrected or converted to submit to their assigned identity. An example of this occurs both in the Ultimate Spider-Man with Jessica Drew and in Camelot 3000 with Sir Tristan. In both cases, a male identified character is cloned or reincarnated as a gender they don't claim, as women. The character's trans identification is treated as a problem and their stories cannot move forward until they accept the gender they were given. Drew and Tristan are left to live begrudgingly as women - as if in Marvel's super-hero universe and in the year 3000 there are no technologies or magics, social acceptance or liberty to transition as they will - so the trans identity is surrendered.
Transgender as Perspective
The key problems with using transgender as a metaphor or narrative is that the trans person is treated as a mechanism or an object, inciting the need for writers to embrace the subjectivity of trans experiences by presenting "transgender as perspective." In such a scenario, trans persons are not treated as an experience external to the narrator or reader. Either through active dialog with trans characters who express a full range of their experiences or else to position the trans character as narrator or protagonist the readers are called on the identify with trans subjectivities. Trans people must do this metaphoric work all the time when they translate the experiences of cisgender people into their own understanding of the world. Literature has the power to allow us to see through the minds and senses of others, so why do we limit our perspectives to those who closely match the majority? This isn't simply oppressive in a justice sense but oppressive in the sense that it is boring. By shifting from the view of transgender as an object to perceiving through trans subjectivities the objects of concern shift to other matters. The physical environment, the social pressures, the metaphors and narratives that aren't noticeable to those on the outside arise. What if we offer trans and cis readers alike narrations they don't often get to read: looking through the eyes of dysphoria, feeling the touch of sexual play through genitals that have undergone surgery, smelling the scent of perfume perhaps transgressive purchased or chaffing in clothes dictated by parents or school. These experiences are widespread but different among trans populations. Yet they don't often appear in print. As a result, many don't have words, metaphors, narratives, to describe their lives. By throwing down the innovative gift to write and read as a trans person, the possibilities grow into uncharted areas. Such opportunities arise in comics such as Angela Asgard's Assassin, Witch Hunter, and Queen of Hel where the title character's beloved Sera (an angelic trans woman) functions often as the viewpoint into the story by acting as narrator, primary speaker (Angela fights more than speaks), or musical bard. Angela is the main object but she is perceived for the reader by Sera. In this way, writers and readers come to need Sera as much as Angela does.

#TransformTalks
After my prepared thoughts were presented, the conversation opened up to the wider group. It was a diverse group with many perspectives to share. Those collected ranged across the colorful landscape of gender, including numerous trans and other gender non-binary people. The owner of Stairway to Heaven has proudly spoken publicly about the many many genders of people who frequent his store. I had first encountered the store when I was browsing Exeter one day, better getting to know my neighboring town. Yet what kept me coming back was the extraordinarily friendly owner and staff. I felt welcome in this place. I could come without having to put myself on display or explain myself. This feeling of exhibition accompanied by alienation and a degree of public shaming comes in the vast majority of places I go in the form of stares, voyeuristic photographs, as well as degrading or invasive gestures and comments. I resist or ignore the misbehavior of the public on a regular basis but I crave safe places where I can step out of the sea of glares. Most days when I am too tired or hurt to deal with this slow casual violence I usually just stay home. A place like Stairway To Heaven Comics gave me somewhere I could go outside of the house and family to live out my time without having to wear my armor. Not all comic book stores are like this but most have more than usual reason to be. Comic books as well as associated recreations like Magic the Gathering Card Games, Pokemon tournaments, or Dungeons and Dragons sessions have long marked populations that are frequently marginalized, at least until very recently. People who have been historically alienated should learn as many ways as possible to recognize and ally with other alienated groups. The crowd collected for this Transform Talk at SWtH Comics were evidence that this store lived towards that potential of coalition building.
"What If?" is a traditional question in comic books. This question has sparked many characters, places, and plot lines. The question has been featured in the title of many stories that are intended to describe alternative universes or timelines where life is different than we know it. Big events such as Crisis on Infinite Earths, Spider-Verse, and Secret Wars are just a few of the cross-over events that have taken advantage of the infinite possibilities for difference to cross-pollinate, intersect, implode, and resurrect. Without the question "What If" Ultimate Drew and Sir Tristan would not exist in Marvel and DC. Many transgender, queer, feminist, crip people or people of color would not get stories without the ability to ask the question and pose alternative realities. In a way, this night came out of a "What If?" Whatever we discussed, perhaps our greatest statement was in being together, reading, and discussing comics. Why make comics by, for, and about transgender people? Because we are the inspiration, makers, and consumers of comics. Because we come to these stores with our fiances, partners, friends, coworkers, allies, and children. Because of all the people who weren't there. Because of anyone who weren't given comics to read or had their comics taken. Because of those who are told in explicit and implicit ways that comics are not for them. Because the world is changing and different. Because the world can change and be different. Trans-formation is propelled by talks such as this. This is how Super Trans turns from a form of metaphor or narrative into a political act begun when we come together to ask the question in many voices: what if?
"Super heroes are a boy thing," our youngest daughter once said shortly after starting kindergarten. She did not get this sentiment from home. For a long time before, she would brag about how much she looked up to Iron Man. She asked us to buy her clothes and candy themed on the Avengers. But once she started in kindergarten, she started bringing home a lot of sexist, homophobic, and transphobic sentiments being parroted around by the other kids at school. Having already gone through similar moments with her sister, we were sad but ready to work with her on points where her family's and her community's politics clashed. It is for this reason that it was so important that the smallest and most active of those twenty-some people at the comic talk was my daughters. The owner of the store later complimented how well they sat and listened, then when they got a bit distracted, picked comics of their own and read in the corner. This comic store was a place where I felt welcome and invited, it was important to me that so did my daughters. They got to read and shop on their own but also to look around at the diverse people who came together to discuss comic literature: men and women, non-binary, trans, cis, and queer people of color. Indeed, the straight cisgender men for whom presumably "super heroes were a thing," were in the minority. This was a women's space and a trans queer space. This was a space that welcomed me and welcome my daughters. And in the past several weeks, my youngest has reclaimed Iron Man and intends on being him for Halloween. And that is the greatest gift that comics has given me: they help me affirm for my daughters that they are the super heroes of my life in language they understand and enjoy. They are Super Trans-formative.

From here they are then sent to customers.
Preparation of rootstocks and slips
The branches and rootstock are collected in winter and placed in environments that ensure good conservation until processing.
The rootstocks are then healed by the females, cut into 35-40 cm pieces keeping a knot in the basal part, and collected in bundles of 100-200 or 600 pieces with their descriptive label indicating the variety and the clone. The beams are then treated with a fungicide and stored in cold storage at a temperature of 1-2 ° C and at a humidity of 90-100%.
The branches that provide the grafting gems are further selected by eliminating those damaged and those not well-lignified. They are then cut maintaining a gem for rearing and keeping only those with a diameter between 6 and 14 mm. Immediately after the cut they are soaked in water and placed in bags with their descriptive label. The sacks, containing the buds, come, up to the moment of the grafting, stored in the cold store in such a way as to guarantee maximum vitality.
The cultivation of rootstocks and grafting buds
Mothers rootstock plants, made with “basic” material, are grown in dry and healthy environments, perfect for producing and guaranteeing wood with high health characteristics. In Northern Italy, cultivation on supports is practically necessary to make wood mature and produce more wood capable of amortising the high cost of planting and management.
In the scaffolding systems, various green pruning operations are carried out to improve both quality and quantity production.
The cultivation of grafting gems occurs mainly in Trentino, adopting both dual-purpose plants, grapes and gems, and highly specialized plants created for the exclusive production of grafting buds. All the plants from which the gems are taken are subjected to rigorous and repeated checks, both varietal and sanitary. The plants are subjected to treatments against the main diseases of the vine and removed from those that show symptoms of diseases due to viruses.
Particular attention is paid to the golden flavescence and its carrier, the Scafoideus titanus.
The grafts-cutting are then paraffined to protect the joining area of the two bionts, then stratified into boxes with sawdust and finally subjected to forcing. Usually the paraffin used on this occasion is red. The forcing consists in keeping the boxes with the grafts-cutting in greenhouses or premises at controlled temperature and humidity. These conditions favor the development of a cicatrization callus at the grafting point and the radical drafts at the base of the cutting.
After forcing, which lasts from 15 to 25 days, follows a period of greening and acclimatization that strengthens the graft-cutting.
It is carried out a test for the formation of the callus and at the same time the residues of sawdust on the cuttings grafted with the use of special brushes are eliminated. The second paraffin, usually brown, is used to prevent dehydration of the callus at the grafting point once the grafting of the graft is planted. For the cultivation of rooted cuttings, the choice of the land and the area where it is located is very important. Soils must be loose, fresh and fertile, and must be well leveled in such a way that there are no areas of water stagnation. The nursery can happen to itself at most for a second year. The cuttings can be planted with a mechanical transplanting machine but currently, with the adoption of mulch, they are planted manually using special forklifts.
The nursery management is a complex operation that requires professionalism and experience. Until a few decades ago, the main agronomic operations were almost exclusively done by hand, while currently specialized machines are used for this type of crop.
The nursery management provides pre-implantation fertilizations, any post-implant nutrient inputs even by foliar, several irrigations and numerous phytosanitary treatments.
These in particular are oriented towards the defense from the downy mildew (about a weekly treatment) and, to a lesser extent, from oidium and botrytis. Acaricidal and insecticide treatments are then carried out, in particular against Scafoideus titanus, a golden flavescence vector. The nursery, moreover, is carefully checked, row by row, several times during the season, to check varietal correspondence and possible diseases.
To ensure that the vegetation is an upright habit and to prevent it from settling on the ground and to strengthen the growth of the shoots, it is carried out between three and four cuttings.

Ota Benga, the pygmy in the zoo
Throughout the years many of these stories crossed my path.
Of Ota Benga, for example, a Mbuti pygmy from Congo who travelled to the US with the reverend dr. Samuel Phillips Verner to be exhibited at the 1904 Saint Louis Fair.
Phillips Verner Bradford, historian and grandson of the reverend-explorer, wrote the book ‘Ota Benga, the pygmee in the zoo. One man’s degradation in Turn-of-the-Century Amerika,’ in which he took a dive into the archives to retrieve Ota Benga’s path. The story is amazing.
Ota Benga’s journey started after his family (wife and children) had been murdered by the Forces Publiques. Verner bought him from slave traders. Ota quickly developed as a leader of the expidition and as a personal friend to Verner. For 5 cents, Ota Benga showed his pointed teeth to the visitors of the St Louis Fair. After the fair, Ota Benga returned with Verner and the other pygmies (of a different tribe, the Batwa) to Congo. Later he preferred to return to America with Verner. He got food and housing at the New York Museum of Natural History, until he threw a chair at someones head. He was then transferred to the Bronx Zoo where he stayed at the monkey house, practiced shooting with bow and arrow and took care of a small orangutang. Because of loud protests, the zoo had to let him go. Verner was out of money and found a place for Ota at an orphanage. There, Ota learned English and received caps to hide his pointed teeth. Later he took a job as a succesful tobacco harvester and he started planning his return to Africa. The first world war made these plans impossible. Ota Benga became unhappy. On the 20th march 1916 he lighted a ritual fire, chipped the caps off his teeth and shot himself in the heart with a gun he stole.
When I finally found the Ota Benga book at Strand Book Store in New York, I was the happiest person. Don’t laugh, it was 2001 and Amazon was not as all-present as today.
Ota Benga was, according to all descriptions, a rather cheerful young man.
One detail is very unsettling, even spooky, if we remember the ‘Nigger in the shrank’-story:
‘He (Ota Benga) had an image of himself stuffed, behind glass, but somehow still alive, crouching over a fake campfire, feeding meat to a lifeless child.'(p166)
It seems as if he knew the story of ‘The nigger in the shrank’ , or as if he connected with it one way or another. Maybe that is not so strange; the vision came to him at the time he spent in the Museum of Natural History.
The chapter about the Saint Louis Fair brings to my attention that the exhibited formed a community in itself. Ota Benga for example became friends with Geronimo, the exhibited Apache leader, who sold arrowheads, photographs and autographs to the visitors. He offered Ota Benga an arrowhead.
Unfortunately, we know very little about these friendships. The exhibited have not written down their experiences. In his memoirs, Geronimo describes a few shows of the fair, but says nothing about Ota Benga.
I would really like to know how it was from the inside: how the friendships developed, how they would communicate, what would they say?

Windows Home Server – Stage 3
Computer Personel
Due to complications with the setup we had to change the server case from the Alienware case to the Thermaltake Kandalf which is large full tower case that handle all the drives I was looking to install. The main issue of the Alienware case was that we weren’t able to install the Silverstone 1200 Watt PSU and the Athena Backplane, they were pushing against each other without allowing any of them to fit in.
The Athena Backplane was holing 5 Sata Drives 3.5″ in the place of 3 5.25″ Drives, so basically 3 CD-Roms for 5 Hard Drives. The PSU fit in the Alienware, and the Athena Backplane fit in the in Alienware case but just not together.
The Thermaltake was the only highquality full tower case available in Hawally at the time that we picked up for 75 KD, and even though it is overpriced the case was worth it and needed to continue our work. So we transplanted everything in the Alienware case to the Thermaltake case. I was dismantling while K was putting it together which was going smoothly.
It took us sometime to take off a few pieces from the Thermaltake since they weren’t needed. The hardware wiring was cleaned up, we removed the extra USB/Firewire/Sound connections of the case to fit the 1200 PSU, its a large one so it takes up space. It fits vertically rather then horizontally which makes things very accessible when connecting all the items for power. We fit the Athena Backplane, and everything was going very smoothly. We removed the LED fans and installed quiet fans on this case, these fans would provide ample cooling by pulling cool air from the front and the back to would pull out of the case. Even though there were four fans (1×120 mm & 3x92mm) running, the machine is extremely quiet, this isn’t even including the fan of the PSU.
Then the wiring came into play, we had a total of 7 SATA connections, and one IDE. Then there was the Addonics SATA controller for more SATA connections at a later point. This will help support a total of 15 hard drives if I wanted to fit them in the machine. Right now I have a total of 7 Hard drives in the machine which are enough to start off with.
After all the hardware configuration we started it up, it started which was good without shorting so everything seemed to be connected correctly. We started the Windows Home Server installation but we were too tired to continue except the next day. When we did continue it was only about mounting the new hard drives on Windows Home Server Share pool. It is going to take some time to tweak everything but overall everything is very straight forward in this machine, can’t wait to fully utilize it. There are still some steps to take.

Hey Now, Wait a Minute…
Several weeks had passed since her Aes Sedai’s return, and Mariasha had been enjoying having her Sister back at her side. And yet, still, there had been an edge of unease that still persisted. She couldn’t understand it, but then, the edge of shock from the sudden return hadn’t worn off quite yet…
Uneasy as she was about things, she tried asking other Warders around the Yard for advice. She knew this was akin to talking about a spouse to a friend in a manner that most wouldn’t, but she was so lost. Some small part of her remaining innocence wanted to believe that they could pretend that all was well, and that she’d not been run out on. But as she talked to more of her brethren in the Yards, the more her mind wanted to question this action Taeadra had taken.
Mari had asked no questions of Taeadra, not yet; part of her was desperately trying to pretend all was like old times. In some ways, it was truly as if Taeadra had never left. They had fallen into their normal daily routine almost seamlessly… and coupled with the fact that Mari herself had been pretty much drunk the entire time Tae was gone made it easier to pretend that no time had passed.
But as time had rolled by, the constant knot of Taeadra’s feelings in Mari’s head started to infect her as well. The other woman was full of wariness and anger, and it was all that the Warder could do to cheerfully ignore a headful of such. She redoubled her efforts in the Yard, and fell asleep easily in a satisfied exhaustion. Still, as time was passing, there seemed to be a switch between the two. For whatever reason, some degree of contentedness was growing in Taeadra’s head, while the suspicion and anger started growing in Mariasha’s. Why had the other woman left her for so long? Had she done something wrong? Was it the Creator’s way of punishing her for… “No, no, mustn’t think about that, no..”
Finally, the Warder could take it no more.
It came to a head over the course of a normal meal. The pair was dining in Taeadra’s chambers, as they often did, and making polite conversation about the day’s events. Perhaps it was how hard she was pushing herself. Perhaps it was the denials she kept making in her head, but something snapped. Or perhaps it was Taeadra’s grumblings about the penance her Ajah had handed down for her absence…
“My fellow Whites are… cross.. with me for going away for as long as I did,” Taeadra commented, reaching for another slice of bread, “I guess that it’s universally felt that even though I had important business, the Ajah’s own business at that, that I should be punished for it.” The White Sister reached for the butter and hummed softly to herself as she applied it lavishly to the bread.
“Perhaps they thought you were dead, Tae,” Mariasha spoke quietly, “Perhaps they were worried, as I was, that something horrible had happened.” Her voice began to raise; a hint of anger began to creep in, “Maybe some of them were drinking themselves to death from worry, trying to deny that anything could’ve happened. After all, if someone cares, they’ll let everyone know they’re doing alright, wouldn’t they?!”
At this point, Mari was quivering with rage and had stood unbeknownst to herself. As she glared down at her Sister, her fists clenched unconsciously. The sitting woman’s mouth had formed a small ‘o’ in surprise at the sudden verbal assault, and taking a deep breath, Mari made herself sit back down. Fishing a whetstone from her belt pouch, she whipped out one of her daggers and began sharpening it nonchalantly. “Perhaps, Taeadra, it’s time to tell me what was so important that you had to leave me here thinking you were dead for so long. I think it’s time for you to tell all.”
04 January (2:36am GMT)
Quirking an eyebrow, Mari raised her eyes from the whetstone in her hands. “So then, you mean to tell me that wandering off on an extended adventure was more important than those that care about you? More important than your duties in the Tower to your Sisters?!” She snorted, slamming the whetstone down on the table. “I know that you always try to put the best face on things, Taeadra, but word has it around the Yards that your Sisters of the White are out to punish you severely for your ‘important business’. I’m guessing that if it was so important, they’d not be that ticked about it, would they?”
Standing up, Mari began to pace along her side of the table; she occasionally shot a dark glance at the woman she had considered her closest friend. That burned – had, not was. Or was she? It was all so hard to think about. Had her parents…
Choking back a growl, she stopped dead in her tracks, “No, it’s nothing like that, nothing like that at all,” the Warder muttered to herself. Her right hand drifted down to her dagger and gripped it unconsciously, “I wasn’t sworn to protect them, they didn’t think I could… DON’T THINK ABOUT IT!”
Coming back to the here and now with a start, she jumped once she realized she’d been shouting. Shaking with an unidentifiable emotion, she spoke slowly to the air, “I… I.. am… I’m going.. to.. yeah… I’m going to go now.”
Doing her best to pretend Taeadra wasn’t there, she gathered up her things and departed as quickly as dignity would permit her. This was all too much for Mariasha, and the young Warder was unaware that she had started running once clear of the White quarters. She didn’t know where she was going, but knew she had to get away. “You can’t run from your thoughts though,” her mind whispered at her, spurring her to try even harder to escape from it all.
The sun hung low in the sky as she exited the Tower at a dead run. She was blind to the curious glances from the people she passed, and as she made her way past the Warders Yard and down the eastern road, her mind made itself up about her destination. Content in this, she allowed focusing on not running anyone down take over her mind as she continued her mad dash towards the river.
Mariasha’s steps slowed as she neared the bank, and she began to pace quickly alongside the river to cool herself down from her short run. It was no secret that she found the riverside calming, not that she expected anyone to follow her out here, not really. Still, the run had been pleasantly exhausting, and as she slumped down to sit on the grass lining the riverbank, she let the flow of the water soothe and distract her mind from the turmoil she did not want to deal with.
23 February 2009 (2:27am GMT)
As the sun glinted off of the river as it set off into the distance, Mariasha pushed herself off the grass and sighed. Her thoughts had run themselves in circles to no avail, and the serenity that the river usually brought her couldn’t even begin to make a dent on her internal turmoil.
She slowly made her way back to the Barracks, flipping a dagger absent-mindedly as she went. The Andoran woman had found that it did a good job of changing peoples’ minds about bothering a woman alone… not that she really wanted to be alone, not with these thoughts. But still, whom could she talk to? Taeadra would have been the person she talked to everything about, but where did things stand now? Sighing, she entered the Barracks and made her way to her room.
Mariasha’s sleep was troubled. That is to say, the few times she managed to nod off, she found herself immediately jerking back awake from stray and painful thoughts. Her Aes Sedai, her parents… All of this mixed ‘round in her mind, making an impolite mess.
So when she ‘woke’ up the next morning, she found herself nodding and red-eyed. She wasn’t sure how many times she had randomly started crying, but she prayed to the Creator as she dressed for her efforts in the Yard that she wouldn’t start again. Of course, her resolve only lasted until she got outside and ran into Thera…
01 March 2009 (8:55pm GMT)
“A-ale?” Mariasha stammered, “N-n-no, no ale. I had been trying t-to stop drinking and t-trying to get my head back together… for…”
She burst into fresh tears before he could stop herself. Fishing her handkerchief from her pocket, she mopped herself up with a sigh. “I’m a wreck, Thera,” Mari started, taking a moment to tuck her hankie up her sleeve, “Just a total wreck. Light, I’m not really sure if I’m in good enough shape to be out and about right now; I’ve just…” She shook her head slightly, “There’s a lot on my mind.”
Mari smiled weakly at her old friend. As it were, she wasn’t sure she could unjumble all the pain and hurt in her head… but she knew she had to try. She had seen what ignoring emotions could do to people, and she didn’t want that. Oh sure, it had to be done in the heat of battle, but one couldn’t live in the Void and stay human.
04 March 2009 (1:24am GMT)
Flopping into the cushy chair, Mariasha gratefully accepted the glass of water. “Thank you,” she murmured, drinking deeply before lowering the mug to clasp with both hands.
“Do you want to tell me what’s wrong, Mari? What caused your… tears?” Thera inquired politely. The Andoran woman couldn’t help but laugh a bit, even if it meant that Thera was looking at her if she’d gone mad.
“Well, you remember how a few weeks ago my Aes Sedai showed up out of the blue? Light, like anyone can forget that, what with me screaming about ghosts and falling off of walls and things.” She took another sip of water, and continued, “Anyways, the shock of it was just all too much for me, and I tried to convince myself that everything would be like normal again now that she was back, and that I could overlook her absence. Her considerable absence…”
Mari trailed off, staring at her hands as they cupped the mug for a long moment. “We were having dinner last night, and I just kind of snapped,” she spoke in a low voice, almost as if talking to herself, “I just completely blew up on her and demanded an explanation. To make matters worse, Taeadra came up with the most cockamamie story I think I’ve ever heard in my life. Claiming she was off on important business, but if it was so important, why didn’t she take me with her to protect her, Thera? Why didn’t she?”
Her eyes shone with tears waiting to be shed again as her hands trembled on the mug in her lap.
09 March 2009 (11:32pm GMT)
Mari pushed a few stray strands of hair out of her face as she sighed in response to Thera’s question. “I don’t know if some of them bother to form any bonds with anyone at all. Taeadra is reputed to be in fairly hot water with her Ajah over her little… adventure, and I’m sure that me having a nervous breakdown probably isn’t doing her a world of good either. I mean… it’s in our very souls to care for our Sisters – the bond makes sure of that.”
Turning her attention to that part of her mind that was Taeadra, she could tell that the White Sister was still sleeping. It was much like her not being there – no sense of emotions came through the bond, yet Mariasha could tell that she was there. She tapped her cheek in thought before casting her eyes back to her fellow Warder, “I… I don’t know Thera, I just sort of snapped. You’ll probably laugh at this, but I just had a moment where I realized I felt what my parents probably felt when I just up and vanished.” She herself chuckled mirthlessly at this before continuing on, “But unlike my ‘fortune’ at getting Taeadra back, I… I’ve never bothered to contact my parents in the years since I’ve left Caemlyn. I… I don’t know if they’re alive or dead, and they… they don’t know and…”
Another sob ripped out of her before she could stop herself, and she growled at herself slightly, “Light Thera, I’m so bloody tired… it’s just been running around and around in my head all night, and I don’t even know how to sort it out yet. Even a promise made in one’s cups is a promise that should be kept, and when we decided to bond those years ago, I was thrilled to have someone to take care of, to hopefully trust in. I just… I just don’t know how to lay the line. I think I need to, though – how can I do my job if she wanders off? It would be just like an Aes Sedai to betray their Warder by wandering off to die, right?”
She helped herself to another gulp of water, and put the freshly emptied cup to the side, “Anyways Thera… any thoughts? I just… I just want things to get back to normal, the way it should be.”
31 March 2009 (12:04am BST)
Pushing herself out of her chair, Mari impulsively hugged Thera. Squeezing gently, she managed to stumble back from where the other woman was seated without falling over as she rose from her half-crouch. “Thanks Thera, you’ve given me a lot of food for thought, even if it’s perhaps not the taste I want in my mouth.” She chuckled softly, shaking her head, “Taeadra is a very headstrong woman, and I guess I’m just going to have to learn how to be more stubborn than she is… perhaps I can find a mule to teach me.”
Sighing, she headed for the door, “Thanks again,” Mariasha started, opening the door, “I’m going to… go… something.” She stepped through and shut the door behind her, and started out across the Yards.
She’d not gotten more than a hundred paces towards the Tower when her steps slowed, and then stopped. The young Warder’s thoughts were much like honey – torpid and squishy. Still, it suddenly dawned on her that she probably looked a right fright. “I should go clean myself up before going to talk to Taeadra,” she told herself firmly, turning back towards the barracks, “She won’t take me seriously if I look a mess, and I have to come from a position of strength, not of weakness. Plus, if I make her wait longer, it might make her easier to work with… yes…”
Upon arriving in her chamber, she closed the door behind herself and sat down on the bed. She had only gotten as far as removing a single boot, and tugging at the next, before she found herself flat-out asleep on the bed.
After having a much-needed rest, Mariasha’s body still felt leaden, and her mind quite asleep. Stifling a yawn, she levered herself up. She eyed her still-booted foot ruefully, and proceeded to finish the job she had started before passing out on herself. A bath would do her mind wonders.
The sun hung low in the sky before her as the Andoran made her way back towards the White Tower proper. She was as pristine as she could be – her hair was brushed and pulled back, her boots were shined, and her clothing was spotless between. She was still unsure in her heart if this would be good for her friendship with her Sister… but protecting the woman she was bound to was the most important thing.

MUSEUM OF ABERNETHY
The Board of Trustees took the decision not to open the Museum at all this season. Although theoretically possible from mid-July, the huge array of protocols that would have been required of our volunteers, not to mention the ‘maturity’ of many of us (ahem), made it something of a no-brainer to remain closed. Many thanks to those who have nonetheless renewed their subscription, and to those who have given donations in these difficult times. This will all help to keep the Museum going this year when we have no income from visitor donations and fundraising. We would be delighted if more previous members renewed their membership and if anyone else would like to support the Museum by joining. Membership fees are £8.50 for a single person, £6 for a retired single person, £14 for a family membership. A form can be requested by emailing secretary@museumofabernethy.co.uk or you can phone 850889 and leave a message and we will get one to you.
Before the pandemic we were lining up a special programme of events to mark the 20th year of the Museum’s existence. The intention now is to roll that over to a 21st anniversary opening next year.
For the new season the intention is to rearrange some of the downstairs displays and add a display on the two local naval surgeon brothers, James and Robert Guthrie. They both had fascinating careers, and were well known in naval circles during and after the Napoleonic wars.
Apart from the odd letter and photo held by us, of (gruesome) interest is a set of naval surgeon’s implements of the period which we have on loan, and we also have copies of some Royal Navy ship designs from 1812, which Robert owned. It is also hoped at some point to supplement what we have with documentary material held by the Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
Meantime, like a swan on the water, despite appearances there has been a fair amount of paddling below the surface. A few individuals have been keeping an eye on the garden, for which we are very grateful. New upstairs cabinets have been built (special thanks to John Robinson for this large project), the exterior woodwork of the building has been repainted, the garden gallery walls have been repointed with traditional lime mortar, and a new hot water boiler has been installed in the kitchen.
Collections Management Group members have been dotting in to the Museum individually to deal with admin matters, photo cataloguing, general maintenance and the like. Some repairs to the salmon coble are pencilled in for autumn. Lastly, from being an I.T. mystery, Zoom has become just another tool of the trade for Board members. Every day’s a school day.
We hope to be in a position to welcome as many of you as possible next spring and summer. Look out for details in the New Year.

All about Tiberias
History of Tiberias
Kinneret Cemetery Story
Tiberias Clips
Kfar Nahum National Park
The town’s name, meaning ‘Village of Nachum’, is of obscure origin. Capernaum appears prominently in the Gospels.
Stones from the Synagogue
Enter and turn right at the ticket office. The six-pointed star today known as the Star of David was not then a Jewish symbol. Here the six-pointed star appears next to a five-pointed star. Look for representations of some of the seven species with which the Land of Israel is blessed (grapes, pomegranates, date palms, and olives). (Deuteronomy 8:8)
One stone shows a pair of pillars similar in design to those found at Hamat Ti berius, a motif also found in Roman temples. The Aramaic inscription refers to a donor. The next stone depicts a temple on wheels, perhaps representing the tabernacle that travelled with the Jews in the desert. Continue around to the area below the church.
Tradition holds that this was Peter’s house. It served as a meeting place for believers during Christianity’s formative years. One hundred thirty-one inscriptions in Greek, Aramaic, Syrian, and Latin, many including Jesus’ name, were discovered in the plaster. The octagonal building was enlarged over the years. This is the only building in Kfar Nachum found with a mosaic floor; in front of you a fragment of it is on display. The sign in front of the mosaic explains the stages of the building’s construction as they were uncovered by archaeologists. In the middle of the fourth century alterations were made to the house; it was enlarged and separated from the town by a wall.
In the fifth century all the private homes of the insula (“city block”) were destroyed to make way for construction of the church. Preserving the house’s original shape, the church was octagonal with an apse and a baptistery in the centre (as is illustrated in the sign’s bottom diagram). In the seventh century the town was apparently abandoned and the site forgotten until the Franciscans bought the land in the late nineteenth century.
The Franciscans conducted archaeological excavations and stored the synagogue and the church. Recently they built
modern church over the site of St. Peter’s house. The glass floor in the centre of the church allows you to look into the original church below.
The Synagogue
This is the second largest Byzantine synagogue to be found in Israel. Historians disagree on the date of its construction, though they agree it was built long after the time of Jesus. Its white limestone, brought to Kfar Nachum from some distance, contrasts with the local black basalt. The lintels’ ornamentation includes geometric designs, plants, and animals; a stone eagle, later destroyed by iconoclasts, hovered over the entrance. Pillars in “IJ” formation supported the second floor and the roof. The inside walls were plastered and the floor was of stone. The congregation sat along the walls facing the centre, where the Torah was probably read. A large room and courtyard, possibly the house of study, stood adjacent and to the east of the synagogue.
History in the Light of Archaeology
The archaeological finds raise interesting questions. When was the synagogue built?Who paid for it? Kfar Nachum’s houses were simply built of local basalt, no signs of wealth were discovered, yet here stood an impressive synagogue built of imported stone. Did a friendly Roman help (see above, Luke 7:1-5), or perhaps Julian the Apostate? Kfar Nachum is the only place where a large synagogue was found next to a church. Considering the tension between Jews and Christians under Byzantine rule, their proximity is remarkable. ‘Was there a special relationship between Jews and Christians here?
The following are some conjectures:
1. Kfar Nachum’s Jews and early Christians enjoyed good relations.
2. Kfar Nachum was a Jewish town. Byzantine rulers built the church to consecrate Peter’s house, but there was no indigenous Christian population.
3. Kfar Nachum was a Christian town. Local “tourism promoters’ wanted to show pilgrims the synagogue Jesus cursed. The original synagogue was nowhere to be found, so they brought one from elsewhere.
The display of finds on the path to the parking lot includes an olive press and a Roman milestone dating from Emperor Hadrian’s reign (second century). Another stone bears a shell motif common to synagogues and Roman temple entrances. The capital on the tall pillar has a candelabrum flanked by an incense shovel and ram’s horn similar to those on Hamat Tiberias’s mosaic floor. The boat portrayed in the mosaic, taken from Migdal, resembles the boat preserved at Beit Allon.

A "lyrical, heaven-sent, gritty, earth-bound memoir."
Each day leading up to the April 14 announcement of the Minnesota Book Awards, we highlight one of the thirty-two finalists. Today we feature 2012 Memoir & Creative Nonfiction Finalist:
A Song at Twilight: Of Alzheimer’s and Love
Nancy Paddock
Blueroad Press
Category Sponsor: Leonard, Street and Deinard
Nancy Paddock’s memoir follows her parents’ descent into Alzheimer’s and the challenges and choices she and her sisters face while confronting this most baffling and tragic of diseases. Discovering that she cannot save them from their crumbling reality, Paddock works to rescue the details of their lives and seeks to retrieve a pattern from chaos—preserving, examining, and reliving the interwoven stories of lovers and family.
An excerpt from A Song at Twilight:
My mother’s truth, now, is mutable: the story of the moment. Sometimes it is as though the fabric of her life has been torn apart, then pieced together like a crazy quilt. Today, she who has ever been the keeper of our family stories, telling them over and over so we will remember, says “When I lived in Paris—“
“Mama, I say as gently as possible, “you were never in Paris.”
“But my dad has a pass for the railroad.”
“You can’t take a train to Paris. You went to New York and Chicago and Seattle as a child.”
“I do remember—“
“You and Dad went to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Bergen a few years ago. You visited Hong Kong, Seoul, and Singapore with Elizabeth, and Alaska with Helen.”
“No, this was early, when I was a girl.” She is silent, deflated. What she knows has been denied. Does the memory of Paris wink out, or persist like a ghost, a bright amalgam of other times and places, Impressionist paintings, video travelogues, and stories told by others? A Paris of the imagination: a refuge, an ego-salve, a glamorous cushion against the limitations of old age? Mama shrinks, frightened by the disparity between what she believes and what I say is true.
Paddock is a poet and screenwriter. She lives in Litchfield, Minnesota.
“Alzheimer’s is an important subject. A Song at Twilight is an almost therapeutic read for adult children with aging parents that show signs of dementia.”
“Powerful. This memoir is as much about life and happy beginnings as it is about the other end of the spectrum.”
“Minnesota poet Nancy Paddock has written an intensely personal and heart-shattering memoir about being a caretaker for her parents as they descend into the murky landscapes of Alzheimer’s and depression. It’s also a fascinating, illuminating meditation on the indeterminacy of memory and memoir, a struggle to remember despite the diminishment of the mind.”
– Minneapolis Star Tribune

Democrats hone in on electability and unity at debate: ANALYSIS
This is a Democratic race that continues to shift in a range of directions.
ByRick Klein andMaryAlice Parks
Moments that mattered from 5th Democratic debate
The Democratic presidential primary debate found 10 front-runners facing off in Atlanta, Georgia.
Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images
ATLANTA -- A Democratic race that’s shifting in a range of directions at once had its focus fall on one big thing that’s far from being resolved: electability.
That brought new scuffles on old debate items like taxes on the wealthy, health care and race, with no real clarity emanating. It also brought a dose of fresh scrutiny on qualifications for the presidency, with South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg now a polling front-runner in early-voting states.
The fifth Democratic debate was staid and policy-heavy by the standards of this election cycle, and Buttigieg didn’t take nearly the heat that some assumed he would. With a blockbuster day of testimony in the impeachment inquiry fresh in candidates’ and viewers’ minds, the importance of getting President Donald Trump out of office wasn’t in dispute on stage.
What was in question was how best to get that done. That challenged the Democratic candidates to explain how they would unite the country and grow their party during an enormously divisive time.
“We are absolutely going to confront this president for his wrongdoing, but we're also each running to be the president who will lead this country after the Trump presidency comes to an end, one way or the other,” Buttigieg said.
“The next president, whoever they are, is going to have to be someone who can heal and bring this nation together -- this whole nation,” said New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker.
Former Vice President Joe Biden touted himself as the best matchup against Trump, as well as the best bet to get more Democrats elected to Congress.
“We have to unify this country. I have done it – I have done it repeatedly,” Biden said. “To be commander-in-chief, there’s no time for on-the-job training.”
Democratic presidential hopefuls, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, Mayor of South Bend Pete Buttigieg, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, Former Vice President Joe Biden, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, arrive onstage for the fifth Democratic primary debate of the 2020 presidential campaign season in Atlanta, Nov. 20, 2019.
Biden warned that Medicare for All – a favorite policy of the party’s progressive wing - wouldn’t even get united Democratic support in Congress. Similarly, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar warned her rivals against hollow promises – and she at one point said “women are held to a higher standard” when it comes to qualifications for holding office.
“I think you've got to win, and I am the one, Mr. Vice President, that has been able to win every red and purple congressional district as the lead on a ticket every time,” Klobuchar said.
Yet a much different vision on how to get elected was offered by candidates occupying the ideological left. As she has in previous debates, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren offered aggressive defenses of her proposals for Medicare for all and a wealth tax.
“The way we achieve our goals and bring our country together is we talk about the things that unite us,” Warren said. “And that is that we want to build an America that works for the people, not one that just works for rich folks.”
In a similar vein, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders pitched his plan for a political “revolution” around an even faster phase-in for Medicare-for-all than Warren has proposed. He urged his party to think big in terms of policy solutions eve at this moment.
“We cannot simply be consumed by Donald Trump,” Sanders said. “Because if we are, you know what? We're going to lose the election.”
Electability also ran through debates among candidates who are lower-down in the polls. California Sen. Kamala Harris attacked Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for going “full-time on Fox News” to attack former President Barack Obama, and said she “buddied up to Steve Bannon to get a meeting with Donald Trump in the Trump Tower.”
“We need someone on that stage who has the ability to go toe-to-toe with Donald Trump and someone who has the ability to rebuild the Obama coalition, and bring the party and the nation together,” Harris said.
Gabbard said Harris was trafficking in “lies and smears and innuendo.” She accused Democrats are pursuing a foreign policy that has been dictated by “the military-industrial complex and other greedy corporate interests” – singling out the party’s last nominee, Hillary Clinton, as a major part of the problem.
“Our Democratic Party, unfortunately, is not a party that is of by and for the people,” she said.
The timing of this debate, on a day of weighty revelations on impeachment in Washington, is a reminder of how brutal the news cycle will be for candidates to control from here.

Democratic presidential hopefuls arrive onstage for the fifth Democratic primary debate of the 2020 presidential campaign season in Atlanta, Nov. 20, 2019.
It’s also appeared to make policy squabbles seem less urgent. Biden took some familiar jabs from Warren and billionaire and liberal activist Tom Steyer, but none erupted into major moments.
Buttigieg largely escaped attacks from his rivals, despite his surge in polls. Late in the debate, Harris was asked about some of Buttigieg’s struggles to catch on among voters of color.
“For too long, I think, candidates have taken for granted constituencies that have been the backbone of the Democratic Party,” Harris said. “The question has to be, where ya been, and what are you gonna do?”
Buttigieg chose not to take offense: “My response is, I completely agree.”
Booker circled back to the issue, criticizing Biden for coming out against marijuana legalization: “I thought you might have been high when you said it,” he said. “Marijuana is already legalized for privileged people.”
Democratic presidential hopefuls participate in the fifth Democratic primary debate of the 2020 presidential campaign season in Atlanta, Nov. 20, 2019.
That later prompted a strange-sounding response from Biden: “I come out of a black community in terms of my support.”
The candidates sought to make impeachment relevant to their campaigns, with several arguing for broader inquiries than just around Ukraine. Half of those on stage are senators, meaning they would serve as jurors in an impeachment trial, most likely early next year.
Ten candidates appeared on stage – two fewer than last month, but still not as few as most Democratic Party insiders thought would qualify for debates this deep in the cycle.
The still-unwieldy field continues to grapple with the big question that’s central from their party in 2019, and that will be in everything in 2020: How best to beat Trump?

Brooklyn Judge Rejects A Party’s COVID-19 Excuse Seeking To Postpone Virtual Hearing For Contempt
Posted by Avi Cohen | Nov 23, 2020 | Current Events | 0 |
On April 27, 2020, I identified and discussed the technological challenges facing the New York State courts and ttorneys in COVID-19. NY Courts’ Legal Failures During COVID-19. It has been six months since the New York State Supreme Court expanded electronic filings to include matrimonial and some estate matters. Reopening of NYS Courts. In a pleasant surprise, the legal community did not crumble, and most judges and attorneys are adapting remarkably to the new “digital” era.
Naturally, changes within any infrastructure is an invitation for people to challenge the propriety of newly implemented rules and protocols. This was precisely what happened recently in a Kings County Supreme Court divorce action. C.C. v A.R., 2020 NY Slip Op 20245. The Honorable Jeffrey A. Sunshine was the presiding judge in this case, in which the wife-defendant moved for civil and criminal contempt against her husband before the start of the coronavirus in March 2020. Since that time, the courts had closed and cases were administratively adjourned. But alas, the show must go on! The plaintiff-husband was charged with contempt for allegations that he “engaged in spoliation of evidence and violation of automatic orders related to the installation of and attempted deletion of iPhone spyware.” Id. at *1.
When the trial courts reopened and the case was subsequently scheduled for a virtual hearing, 1 the Plaintiff’s attorney argued the hearing had to be adjourned because she needed to review a notebook admitted as evidence prior to COVID-19, which has been in the physical custody of the court all along. In her affirmation, Plaintiff’s counsel exclaimed she was “willing to review that journal in the courthouse if I am granted permission to enter the courthouse in order to do so, however only after being assured that my health will be safeguarded.” (emphasis in original).
In his decision, Judge Sunshine observed that “these are unprecedented times: fortunately, global pandemics have not been commonly faced in New York.” Id. The court further derided Plaintiff’s attorney by reminding all that “it is not within the purview of a litigant or counsel to assess whether the protocols established are adequate.” Id. Logic dictates that a person facing incarceration has every interest in seeking to delay its resolution. Comparatively, if a person were afforded the option to subjectively assess whether or not a courthouse was safe, the result would be catastrophic. It would welcome any litigant to postpone indefinitely “any proceeding in which he or she did not want to appear. Certainly, such an outcome will not stand.” Id.
The Supreme Court, thus, ordered the parties to continue the contempt hearing virtually. The court reasoned that inasmuch as Plaintiff sought to prolong the litigation and resisted “a final determination on these issues, defendant [was] also entitled to a conclusion of this matter.” Id. In a final rebuke to Plaintiff, the Court cautioned that it “will not abide [any party’s] attempt to use a global pandemic as a sword and a shield” to further delay the resolution of legal proceedings. Id. (emphasis added).
The lesson learned is that a New York State trial court is authorized to establish and implement appropriate measures for in-person court proceedings as it deems fit. There is no prejudice to a party or attorney in doing so. As succinctly stated by Judge Sunshine, “a virtual proceeding is not a perfect scenario; however, there are no perfect trials whether in-person or virtually.” Id. Accordingly, we must all be amenable to the changing times.
1 To add further confusion, the New York courts have already made the switch from Zoom to Skype, and more recently from Skype to Microsoft Teams.

Top 10 Best Ceiling Fan
Ceiling fans often are like a forest of trees. It can be exceedingly difficult to find exactly the one tree you want to find when there are hundreds of other trees surrounding it. It is also the same when you really want to buy one of the 10 best ceiling fans available. There are literally hundreds of fans offered for sale. It can be a search to find the one that is right for you.
You will need to consider a few things before you start, and these will help you as you take on the project of finding the one in the many. First, think about your decor, as you want to have it fit in nicely. Second, measure the room where your new fan will live. Each fan has a measurement for the length of the blades, the height of the entire fan unit, and any extra length hanging down into your room if it is not a flush mount. Flush mounts can be installed from the ceiling, and some from angled beams or side posts.
Third, consider whether or not you want your fan to have a light or not. Finally, look at the variations in extras such as remote control features, reversible blades or environmental energy savings. With these basics in mind, you will have a better idea of what you want in a fan. You will also consider cost. Start with this review of ten ceiling fan candidates to help focus on the most important features:
1. Hunter Builder Deluxe Ceiling Fan 53091
This attractive ceiling fan with five reversible blades is designed to cool large rooms. The blades are made with cherry wood from Brazil using an oak colored stain. It will keep up to 400 square feet comfortable. You can mount it with its toffee colored glass light or opt to do so without it. The motor is powerful, yet quiet. It is very easy to install, and has three choices for its mounting positions, including standard, angled or flush. The metallic parts are bronze . The fan weighs 20 pounds and once assembled it is 52 inches in diameter. It is not eligible for shipping internationally, but within the United States only. There is a manufacturer’s warranty which offers 1 year on parts, but not the motor, light bulbs or glass globes and this is available upon request from customer service. Customers who own this fan appreciate its ability to move a lot of air quietly. Some owners would have preferred that it give off more light. Most often, owners felt it was easy to install in under an hour, and that it was efficient and affordable.
2. 60″ Casa Vieja Turbina™ Oil-Rubbed Bronze Ceiling Fan
When you want to hang your fan outdoors you need one rated for use in the outdoor weather. This fan is advertised as constructed completely of oil rubbed bronze finish including the motor casing and the blades. The span of the three blade system totals 60 inches. Those who own it recommend that it be mounted at least 10 feet higher than the floor as the blades are metal. It can be mounted at an angle using special mounting materials. Most owners hung it in very high ceiling areas. Most say that it is very efficient but not quiet on the highest speed setting.
3. Westinghouse 78603 Petite Ceiling Fan
When you need a fan that hugs closer to the ceiling consider this model. It is designed for smaller areas up to 80 square feet. This model features six fan blades and three speeds. When the weather changes you can reverse the 30 inch blades so that their direction moves warm air down into the room. The unit includes a mushroom shaped light and antique brass metal. The overall diameter is 30 inches, with a 12 inch height. The motor is very quiet and there is a 2 year warranty on its parts, plus a lifetime warranty on the motor. All of its mounting hardware and installation instructions are included. Owners of this fan liked the amount of air it moves and describe the sound as quiet, but not completely silent. There is a low grade hum when using it. Owners also appreciated that it was fairly easy to install. Some feel that the light is attractive, but doesn’t supply enough light to suit their needs.
4. Hunter 53089 Builder Deluxe 52-Inch Ceiling Fan
The five beech blades on this unit are white, and arrayed around a linen colored glass light. The fan is designed to work best in rooms of 485 square feet or less. You can choose from three different positions for mounting as the system will allow for flush, angled or standard variations. There are two candelabra blubs at 60 watts each included, but you can also mount the fan without the light. The blade direction is reversible. This fan is made from metal colored to match the snowflake color of the light bulb. It is sleek and modern, with coloring to coordinate with white décor and building materials. Many owners of this fan purchased it due to its white color, and one savvy owner warned that the color is actually more of a toffee color. There are some who purchased a separate remote for it because it did not come with one. Customers discovered that the product will work with CFL light bulbs.
5. Tommy Bahama TB135DBZ Cabrillo Cove
Tropical leaves are the theme for this fan, but it also comes with a complete set of alternate weather resistant paddle fans for outdoor use. The main body is made in a distressed bronze color and the glass is colored an amber mist. There is a remote control included which allows for three different speeds. This product is designed for use in rooms with eight, nine or ten foot ceilings, and comes with different down rod lengths to allow for adjusting the distance from the ceiling. Owners liked the remote control feature very much. They appreciated that it can be mounted on the wall and that it eliminates the traditional chains that hang down from the center. Most felt it was perfect for a tropical décor, and used in a porch, patio or den.
6. Westinghouse 7214100 Harmony Ceiling Fan
This handsome ceiling fan has two lights and two 48 inch blades. Designed for use indoors, it has a glass bowl made in frosted opal and brushed nickel case. The fan motor is made from silicon steel and will adjust to four different speeds. It is made for rooms that are 12 by 12 feet, an it comes with two 40 watt light bulbs, torpedo style. There is a 6 inch down rod and 78 inch lead wire included for installation purposes. Owners point out that the fan can have clicking problems and this noise can be intermittent, which makes it even more frustrating. You can add a remote, but it doesn’t come with it. You can also change out the bulbs to CFL and use brighter ones. The lack of light coming from those included in the package is not bright enough for some customers.
7. Minka Aire F1000-ORB Dyno Ceiling Fan
For a sleek look, combining oil rubbed bronze and maple blades, this fan would work well in any contemporary or transitional setting. There are 5 reversible blades which can be adjusted using the hand held remote. This unit also allows for dimming the lights. To reverse the blade direction you do need to use a switch by hand, located on the motor. The blade diameter is 52 inches. The light is dimmable and uses an LED module inside the etched style lens. The majority of people who own this fan absolutely love it. They believe that the higher prices in the product line are well worth the money paid to get a fan that is easy to install and made very well. They cite the higher quality as contributing to the better function and lights that are offered in this brand.
8. Hunter Fan Company 59052 Palermo Ceiling Fan
Environmentally conscious consumers will like this Energy Star rated fan. It is noted for its air movement, which is top rated in its class, and it works in larger rooms up to 485 square feet. There are five plywood blades which offer either maple or cherry finishes. Its case is of brushed nickel and the outer blade dimension reaches 52 inches. The style is contemporary, but this item will easily adapt within many interior design styles. Owners like the remote control function, but dislike the level of customer service they receive when asking questions about various problems with parts and repairs.
9. Emerson Ceiling Fans CF765BS Loft Ceiling Fan With Wall Control
With a sleek steel finish that is brushed to a satiny gloss, this Energy Star fan is very much like a piece of contemporary art. It is designed for use in indoor spaces with very high ceilings such as modern lofts. It has three highly efficient blades which are 60 inches long. You can control it from a wall unit using any of its four available speeds, and it is also adaptable for a remote control unit. There is no light in this fan. Customers who own this fan like its large capacity for moving air in the room quietly. Most that own it really like it. Some bought it because it has no light, because they preferred its modernistic lines. Others have mentioned that it can wobble, though opinions are mixed on this problem.
10. Litex E-UB48BC4C1 Urbana Ceiling Fan
This fan is an attractive modernistic design with a light included. The light is made of glass with a frosted surface and it is single, in kit form. The light requires candelabra bulbs. There are four blades that are 48 inches long and chrome with a brushed finish. There is a down rod that is 6 inches long with an additional cable for safety. The majority of owners like the industrial style of this fan and feel that it was well worth the price considering the quality. Others have had good experiences with customer service when they needed parts replaced. Many who purchased this product own more than one. Whether your taste in decor runs from traditional to modern, there is a ceiling fan that is designed to fit your decor.
These practical additions to any living or work space help enormously to keep things cooler when the weather is hot. Some even have reversible blades that help to conserve heat by forcing it downward, though it would normally be lost to the ceiling. The key to finding the one that is perfect for you is to consider what you like it terms of decor, and then purchase the one that fits your space and design requirements.

Self Storage Question: "Should I Evict or Not?"
Hi everyone. This is jim ross self storage show. Thanks for tuning in again. Uh, this episode I was just wondering what should I talked about today, and it stemmed from a conversation I had yesterday as a lot of these episodes seeking to dio and had someone reach out there asking about some, uh, evictions, you know, when should I when should I evict and like, well, you know, as most things usually are, it's kind of a case by case basis, you know, so out of here a little bit, you know the reason why justification to actually evict somebody and thankfully, in storage the laws on our side, you know, 99% of the time you have a decent contract.
You know, it's written correctly a lot of our site, you know, we can evict, but there's a lot of times when it's it's not necessary. You kind of let the progress of, uh, what's a month, a month contract?
You know, waking to simply say we're not renewing your agreement for next month, kindly move out. And so that's on our side so that that part helps alleviate a lot of situations.
This particular case. It was more of just a matter of i'm sure a lot of managers that are listening to this, that you could you could understand where this is coming from.
It's it's more a matter of, oh, my gosh, every month it's the same thing. You know? They're they're late, and I have to call them.
You act like i'm gonna collection company and have to beg them to make their payments. And they do, you know that she is at that point and most scheduled for auctions.
And every time I bring for the auction happens, end up paying, you have to start the whole process all over again. And I was just like, yeah, so welcome to storage.
You know, again, that's a number. Are they paying the fees? Well, yeah. Cool. Paying like the auction fees.
Pre lien, all that stuff. Yeah. So what's the problem? That welcome to storage. That's gonna happen.
I think a lot of times it's, you know, from andrews. Well, remember back in the day when I was a manager, same thing I have my hit list of all the collection guys. I was always ringing them up.
Sometimes you kind of take a personal, you know? Yeah, it's almost like they don't need money, you know? Yeah, you're the manager. You run your store, and that's great.
You take, take passion and take ownership of that stores. Mind cool. But they are the business money, not you personal.
And sometimes I i see that that kind of mentality of, well, taking up to personal that they owe you money. And while i'm gonna show them, get out of here.
No, we all have, and everyone can attest this. We'll have those tenants set. Hey, it's almost, like built with their budget of paying late fees.
Yeah, you're sending out letters you're sending you offer for auctions, but as long as they're paying those fees oh, cool. So what? You know, that's just that's the sexual revenue. That's his bonus, as far as i'm concerned.
So, yeah, those instances, I don't I wouldn't you bet. Okay. You think this one is much more seriously things going on and I was just sitting. I'm thinking, you know, back in my manager days and as a regional managers, well, it all has been a few things that that that come to mind when I be evicted way need to have.
We all need to have, like story time, weakness it around and just have a jam session talking about these kind of things.
There was there was a site. It's been a few years ago now, but I was, you know, a regional manager, this property. I was doing a site visit site inspection and the managers like, oh, always when moments in it.
Anyway, she's like, yeah, that this this tenants here kind of got a weird feeling that something's going down. What do you mean? What's going now? It's like I maybe should be like an nc 17 rating on this episode. But like I think she's think she's hooking.
They just took it out of the unit like oh, wonderful. Alright. So as I knew my walk through, I didn't know I didn't see anybody. There's no one there.
She must have left. I don't know god, your house. I was coming back to the office and see the car pull up right around where that unit is like all right, this is the unit and start walking towards that, you know, have my clipboard and all that.
I'm double checking locks, looking busy, you know? And she pulls up, she gets out of the car, rolls up the door.
As soon as you roll out the door, I approach her like, hey, how you doing? You know, doing a walk through, how's everything going?
All good? And she was like, like, no problems. All good. Everything's fine. How you doing? Good day.
And, you know, peaked in the unit. Yeah, it was like a hotel room in there. It was all it was all decked out. So yeah, didn't take much to make the conclusion of what was going on.
And then on the corner of my eye, I see the john in the passenger seat and the whole time sitting there, talking to this lady, I just see him in the passenger seat just going slowly.
You just kept drifting down, drifting down. I don't look at me. Don't look at me. Don't funniest thing ever.
And so I just was. I was told her like, hey, yeah, I know what you're doing here. Of course she denied. Denied denied it.
Okay, well, eviction time. Okay. Time to go. Uh, you know, talked her face to face. She looks pretty cool about it.
She left. So, yeah, in those case, cool you picked there is. Ah, lieutenant comes to mind just open this site branding.
I mean, first, worst day opened this site and so knew we were still kind of going through some inspections, quite frankly.
And it's a lot of units. Didn't have the locks on them yet because they were still, you know, the contractors to start for in and out, you know, throwing things. And that's that kind of stuff.
You get it and rented a unit. It was like a 3rd 14 rented that day. We run like, 12 years inside day, first day, but third or fourth round on reddit and seemed like the nicest girl is just yeah, very sweet run of the unit.
Anyway, that night it was about midnight. I get a call from the manager. It's just like e hate to call you, but i'm just really nervous, and I only have about 20 minutes from this, this property like what's going on? It's like there's a light under the door.
There's no lock on a unit. I just had. I think someone's living there like oh my gosh. Great way to start the great way to start the site.
Sorry, I broke down there. Mhm. Go through it again. No big deal to me and been there. Done that. 1000 times.
See the light in the door and some, you know, lock on the door. And I heard the voice inside. Um, come in like, uh, yeah, okay. Just, you know, making herself at home, obviously.
Roll out the door. Mind you, this first day i've been there for two hours. Had already had it all decked out.
She had christmas lights strung up inside at a microwave. You know, the whole whole power strip goings on, the microwave set up.
She had her lava lamp was going like, wow, you got you got this all decked out. And she was just sitting there like the queen of the castle sitting on her on her big bean bag.
My okay, uh, how you doing? Things like oh, good. You know, you can't living here, right? I said try to deny it was it was kind of funny and like you. Can you can you look around?
Looks like you're making yourself at home here. Yeah, you can't be doing this. And uh huh. She got really upset all of a sudden and just said you need to look and see what I did next. Next, next unit.
What going next? Unit rolled it up and let's say there was any bathrooms around, so she kind of improvised, and yeah, it was it was it was bad.
Let's just put it that way. She just want to talk about that day or what? But it was bad. Okay, sorry. Bad joke, that joke bad.
Um, but that's i'm like, you got to go. She wouldn't go. She got belligerent. Okay. Like, really, like, kind of coming after me.
Um, took away from the situation, called the cops, and the cops come down. It was it was the whole scene. Ended up finally getting her hold off.
Having like, some warrants and stuff. It was nuts. You never think of looking at her. She was the sweetest thing, but yeah, those can be deceiving and had to have a whole hazmat crew come out and deal with it. First day that happens. So obviously in it, you know, um, why, why not? Let's just continue with nc 17.
Uh, podcast going on here? Another one that comes to mind. Different site. And these are all different sites. But welcome to storage. You know, stuff happens.
Crap happens anyway, a joke. This one. I was again doing a walk through and all that and a z. Do you know there's a lot that's its units rented.
Cool, but door shut. And no lock on there. Okay, maybe they just maybe they just vacated. Cool. All right.
Happens all the time by the doors open. Roll the door up. And there's two people on the concrete floor doing your thing, and I it shocked me enough. At first, I was like, oh, probably stood there longer than I should have, but I was I was in shock. I wasn't I wasn't watching, and we'll roll the door down.
You know, I was talking through the door like, dude, you got you got you got 10 seconds. Wrap it up. 10 seconds. You gotta go.
You gotta go get it. Get out of here. I was the song was all flustered and did that. I ended up a z was leaving the facility.
I went out to the door and, like, yeah, just just so you know, your last day here. Okay? You're addicted.
So again, another reason to evict. You know, don't be doing that kind of stuff in the storage facility.
And so he left. And not 10, 15 minutes later, i'm gonna call the office and he had his mommy call.
Seriously, his mom had a call and beg beg for him. For big. For me, not to the victim. Yes. No. Where else to go for?
Don't finish that sentence, but nowhere else to go. Thio store rubble. Don't. Please don't victim. Please don't be a victim.
I'd be like well, you know why. I mean, evicting him, right? Oh, she knew.
I mean, at least he was honest with his mom on what he was doing. Wishes can imagine that conversation went, but anyway, still, you did so yeah, there's definitely reasons when it comes to that kind of stuff.
Not going back how we started this not the matter of if they're being inconvenient, okay? And not paying their bills on time. And they're paying late fees every month. Not a reason.
When when it comes to matter of story has, er things, you know, bad behavior at the site, things that could be detrimental to the locations, not that kind of stuff.
All right, then it comes into play effect. Don't. And even then, sometimes it's not a matter of you got 24 hours. Get out. You composed. You can email send the letter.
You generally it's 10 days prior to the next time that that rental contract is renewed. That tend to notice is really that's usually I see in the contracts again. Read your contract a little bit different. That jonah. That's what I usually see.
That much notice of just saying, hey, we're not renewing your lease. Renewing your agreement, have you phrase it next time it comes, dio, uh, this is your noticed get out.
Okay, that it covers nine times out of 10 that covers most situations, and you're covered. And there's not gonna be a whole lot of palm oil and drama and all this kind of stuff so kind of draw that line. So, yeah, if you if you get a tricky from itchy trigger trigger finger, I could say it.
Thio evict. Just take a take a moment, take a couple beats and just think. Okay, don't have to do this like right now, and then cause a scene or can, you know, post it kind of go through the proper channels to give him notice to be it out.
Okay. And not just because they're always late. Okay, again, that's fees revenue. Cool. Fine by me. Let him stay.
So, anyway, there's their story time. Sorry for that's a great way to start the day, right? Those kind of stories, but I got plenty of them.
So again, I really appreciate you guys tuning in the storage show being a part of this. Haven't already subscribe. Right where itunes spotify usually main tomb. Uh, yeah. Subscribe.
Really appreciate that again for a lot of these recording. It's in the facebook group on self storage community dot com. You can go there and join the group you live is alive, recorded and broadcast later as well. So again really appreciate it.
Have a good one, guys. Take care. All right, done. Well, good. How you guys doing this? Your comments come in real quick.
What's up, erin? We had one teaching class in the hallway. Yeah, I get it. There's yeah, I ran it. I mean, I got some stories. There's there's a site that I had in downtown salt lake and friday's stories on our time. But we were surrounded by homeless shelters, literally. There was four homeless shelters and probably a 34 block radius of us.
And no problem. You're running toe homeless people. In fact, they paid their rent like everybody else was great. It just kind of came with so much other drama all the time that oh my gosh, just people that wouldn't leave that one guy that was wrong.
Uh, he called him cigarettes in a june and selling on people that were towel like apocalypse park luck dinners basically in their unit have everyone coming community.
I had a whole kitchen table and stuff like that set up. It's just weird things. I mean and just trying to get people leave every night. It was the whole whole situation going on there, so I have got a lot of stories around that one, too.
Eso it's it's just interesting. Uh, do things on on fridays, kind of like open office hours, uh, helping people with other questions and kind of going through figuring out the storage world and that's been good source of content, quite frankly.
Sparking some ideas of what to talk about. That's where a lot of these, uh uh come from. It's kind of funny. So yeah. Thank you, guys. I got calls to get on myself here, so have a good rest of day.

Changing names in Yosemite
Yosemite Name Debate Not That Novel
Fresno Bee, January 22, 2016
Names are powerful, mysterious and constantly changing
Yosemite history includes numerous name changes
The best names are poetic and inspiring
The name changes in Yosemite National Park show us the power of corporations in our country. The longer story of those names discloses a history of political force and economic interest.
Names are powerful. They shape the human world. Names are focal points for struggles over money, identity and meaning.
While we might wax nostalgic about Yosemite’s trademarked landmarks and rue the intrusion of capitalism into the Sierra heartland, businesses have been making money in Yosemite for over a century.
Yosemite opened for business under the Curry Company in the 1890s. Camp Curry changed its name to Curry Village in the 1970s. In the 1990s, the Delaware North Company took over. Somewhere along the way, DNC claimed ownership of the names of the hotels, including The Ahwahnee.
Behind that recent history is another story of expropriation and exploitation. The word “Ahwahnee” was the native name for the valley. The native Ahwahnechee people were forcibly removed from the region by the Mariposa Battalion in the 1850s. The Battalion renamed the place “Yosemity.” A member of the Battalion explained that the spelling was changed to make the word look more “scholarly” – but also harder to pronounce.
NAMING AND RENAMING ARE ACTS OF POWER.
Names are powerful and mysterious. We affix them to people and places through elaborate christening ceremonies. We change them for a variety of purposes.
In some cultures, names are thought to connect people and things to spiritual and magical power. Fairy tales such as Rumplestiltskin remind us of the sorcery of names.
Name changes often reflect spiritual transformation. The Bible is full of spiritual name changes: Abram became Abraham, and Simon became Peter. A cardinal adopts a new name when he becomes Pope. And so on.
The spiritual view of names seems old-fashioned. We tend to view names as human conventions. They are created for our convenience and changed according to our interests and desires.
The names of drugs and other products are created by marketing wizards, interested in money instead of magic. Names are changed in order to maximize market share. Bruno Mars, Cher, David Bowie and other celebrities have changed their names for the entertainment market.
Similar market forces are driving the name changes in Yosemite. In our capitalist culture, corporations own names and demand payment for them. We sell naming rights to objects and put corporate logos on things. We no longer connect names with spiritual power; instead we sell them to the highest bidder.
Naming and renaming are acts of power. Names reflect cultural values and structures of dominance. Only the powerful are authorized to name or rename things.
For centuries wives have taken their husbands’ last names. That tells us a lot about the patriarchal structures of family life. But that naming convention is changing. In the era of Caitlyn Jenner’s name and gender change, our assumptions about family and the order of things is in flux.
Names shape our personalities. They color our perception of the world. They reflect changing political reality. And they resonate with meaning.
The best names are poetic. “El Capitan” stirs the spirit. “Bridalveil Fall” fills the imagination. But the name “Half Dome” is frankly a bit disappointing in its prosaic obviousness. If San Francisco were called “Peninsula City,” would that be a place to leave your heart?
THE NATURAL WORLD IS, OF COURSE, INDIFFERENT TO OUR SHIFTING NOMENCLATURE.
Natives called Half Dome “Tis-sa-ack.” That name honors a legendary woman, whose crying profile appears on Half Dome’s face. Most don’t notice her at first. But when you hear her name and story, you suddenly see her weeping face on the cliff, gazing across the valley at her husband. Names open vistas, which are previously unseen.
Last year, Mount McKinley was officially renamed Denali, returning the mountain to its native name. That’s a noble and nostalgic gesture. Perhaps Half Dome should again be called Tis-sa-ack and Ahwahnee should be returned to the natives.
But Ahwahnee is a brand name and the natives have been destroyed. History is turbulent, fluid and often sad. You can’t go home again. Nor can you return to your original name.
The natural world is, of course, indifferent to our shifting nomenclature. Tis-sa-ack will endure long after our names are forgotten. From her perspective, our squabbles must provide another reason to weep.
