InterviewWith Richie Scarlet
What can be said about "The Emperorof Rock & Roll" Richie Scarlet, well besides being a kickass guitar player with Ace and a host of other famous people includingLeslie West & part of Sebastian Bach's solo band, he was alsogood friends with Eric Carr as well as a co-writer on Breakouton the 1st Frehley's Comet Album. Richie has also released quitea few solo records since Ace rejoined Kiss in 1996 for their reunion.
His current release called "The Insanity Of Life" isavailable now. You can also check out Richie's site and pick upthe new cd at
right here in cyber space (Get it, spaceAce... ha ha)
Here Richie shares his memories of Eric and shed light on someother facts possibly never before talked about.
Byron Fogle: When did you meet Eric Carr?
Richie Scarlet: I believe it was at Ace's studio in Wilton, Connecticutsometime in '83.
BF: How did the writing of Breakout come about?
RS: Eric had already had the music written as a demo for KISS...Ibelieve. Ace, at the time, was going through some legal problemsso the theme of Breakout materialized. So Ace and I just wrotethe words for it based on that situation.
BF: Ace has stated in interviews that Eric was slated to playon an album. Can you shed any details on what album or song(s)he was going to play on before Gene & Paul said he couldn't dueto his contract in Kiss?
RS: Those rehearsals took place at SIR Studios in New York City.I am not 100% sure but I think the songs included: "ShotFull Of Rock", "Trouble Walkin'", "LostIn Limbo", and "Back To School". Eric was veryexcited about playing on the record and it was a let down forall of us when it didn't manifest.
BF: Do you have any funny stories about Eric that you can shareduring the time you spent together?
RS: I recorded a X-mas song with Eric for a radio station calledWPDH out of Poughkeepsie, New York. There were many all-star playerson it and a lot of them were very serious, while Eric was so playfuland light-hearted during the sessions, that it brought the wholevibe of the project up a million notches!
BF: It has become public knowledge that Eric jammed with theband for tryouts. Were you a part of those sessions? If so, doyou remember which songs were played?
RS: See question #3
BF: Have you had the chance to hear Eric's CD Rockology? Ifso, what is your favorite song of that CD?
RS: Unfortunately, no I haven't ...yet!
BF: There has been talk of a song called "Rock Your Mind"which has been dubbed as "Breakout 2" is there any chanceof that song being released on a future CD once Ace is finishedwith KISS?
RS: Anything is possible with the Ace.
BF: In my opinion, the version of "Breakout" on AntonFig's home video, with the proceedings going to Eric's cancerfund, was a wonderful thing you did. How did that performancecome about?
RS: It was really all Anton's doing. We recorded that at ElectricLady Studios in New York. Anton loved the song and invited usdown to video it. I'm glad that it went to a great cause!
BF: If you had to describe Eric Carr with one word, what wordwould that be?
RS: Saint
BF: How would you like to see Eric Carr remembered?
RS: As the warm, passionate, & talented human being that he was.God bless Eric Carr!

First of all I would like to apologize for the lack of blogs recently. I have been having computer problems and then internet problems too as I changed service provider. Anyway i am back up and running now so lets get going.
As you may have seen from my last blog, a few weeks ago I went on a spa weekend and then on the Sunday we went to Cheshire Oaks which is a discount designer shopping village.
We had a great day at Cheshire Oaks. The sun was shining and we were spending !
Here is what I got.
First stop was Ted Baker. I love this brand. I particularly love there bags and purses.
As soon as I walked through the door I spotted this blue knit. It's like a cross between a cape and a shawl. The colour is beautiful. I thought it would look great through Autumn with blue jeans and a white shirt. This was reduced from £90 to £45.
I brought this purse. I have been after a small purse for a while. My main purse is a large Ted Baker but for some of my handbags it's just too big. This is perfect.
I also got this wallet for my husband. He has this old scabby wallet he has had for years and will not part with. He says he likes this so hopefully he will start using it and will get rid of the old one.
We then went to a makeup and fragrance shop. They had all different brands in here including smash box, Bobbi Brown, Nars, Clinique.
I got some more double wear foundation as this is my favourite. It was £21 and I normally pay £30. I also got this pretty Estée Lauder lipstick which was £15 instead of £21.
Next I got this candle from Yankee Candles. This was £15 instead of £22. I am just burning it now as I write this and the smell is beautiful.
Finally, I went into Gucci. I fell in love with all of their silk scarves. I ended up getting this beautiful blue one. It was reduced from £180 to £85. This is my first Gucci purchase and hopefully not the last. The scarf it's so pretty and I intend to wear it tied around my next and also tied to handbags. I know I will get lots of use out of it. The packaging at Gucci is exquisite too.
Hope you enjoyed this blog, thanks for reading.

Our partnership with Océanopolis
Brittany Ferries turns crossings to France and Spain into voyages of discovery...
Brittany Ferries has announced a partnership programme with Océanopolis, an Ocean Discovery Centre in Brest, North Western France, for the observation of marine mammals, such as whales and dolphins, in the Celtic Sea and Bay of Biscay. The observatory will operate on the company's flagship, Pont Aven, which sails from Plymouth to Roscoff in France and to Santander in Spain, as well as between Roscoff and Cork in Ireland.
Scientists from Océanopolis will monitor sea life from the ship and, upon identifying anything interesting, will immediately notify passengers who can then, if they wish, watch for their own enjoyment. Additionally, a DVD, produced by Océanopolis, will be shown on board Pont Aven in the cinemas during the crossing so that passengers can gain a better understanding of the creatures that live in our surrounding seas.
This move is evidence of a commitment by Brittany Ferries to protecting the marine environment, having practiced for many years a 'Clean-Sea' policy whereby nothing is discharged into the sea. Océanopolis is a highly respected scientific organisation working in close collaboration with EUR-OCEANS, an organisation which represents a network of 500 researchers in 11 countries across Europe studying marine ecosystems and climatic change.

Dr. Nina is SO great–the best dentist I have ever had, and that's saying something! My 8yr. old daughter and I both love going to the dentist. How many people can say that about going to the dentist. Her bedside manner is wonderful, and then backed up with gentleness. I have never had root canals performed with this little during and AFTER pain before. Completely impressed with this Lady, beginning to end.
Are you experiencing tooth pains? We can treat you today!
At Westside Dental Group, your dentist will discuss your smile goals with you in order to recommend the interventions that can help you achieve those goals.
Are you experiencing tooth pains? We can treat you today!
At Westside Dental Group, your dentist will discuss your smile goals with you in order to recommend the interventions that can help you achieve those goals.
Root Canal Treatment
Tooth decay or infection that reaches the tooth's core – and the sensitive nerve endings contained in the pulp – can be tremendously painful and even potentially dangerous, as such an infection can easily access the bloodstream and spread elsewhere in the body. Furthermore, a tooth affected by extensive infection in the pulp may be at risk for structural damage that could lead to the need for the tooth to be extracted.
Although tooth replacement technology has advanced significantly in recent decades, even dental implants do not completely replace a natural tooth in terms of form and function. Therefore, a root canal can help patients to save a biological tooth, which is always preferable whenever possible.
Root Canals can relieve your tooth pain and save your smile
Your dentist may recommend a root canal if your tooth has an extremely large cavity that has reached the pulp chamber or an abscess. Root canals may also be necessary when a tooth is severely cracked or otherwise damaged to the degree that its inner core is exposed to the oral cavity and bacteria that are found there.
The specifics of root canal treatment are discussed in greater detail below, but essentially the dentist will remove the infected pulp material from the tooth, clean the empty chamber thoroughly to remove any lingering bacteria and fill in the empty space with a rubber-like substance. The treatment is not nearly as uncomfortable as most people think, and sedation and local anesthesia can be combined to maximize patient comfort throughout the process. In fact, root canals actually eliminate the pain that is caused by the infection!
After a root canal is completed, the treated tooth is usually fitted for a crown. A tooth that has undergone a root canal is more likely to break than other teeth, so the crown offers strength and protection after root canal therapy.

Common Questions
If you are considering a root canal treatment, here are a few questions you may have:
A root canal is a treatment that removes decayed material from the pulp of the tooth. When decay reaches the tooth's core, it stimulates the sensitive nerve endings contained in the pulp, causing significant discomfort for the patient. Furthermore, such extensive decay can compromise the structural stability of the tooth. Therefore, this treatment can ultimately help to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed and replaced with a restoration of some sort.
In performing a root canal, the dentist will create a small hole in the tooth in order to reach the root canal chamber that houses the pulp and remove all of the diseased pulp material. The dentist will then clean out the empty chamber to eliminate any lingering bacteria and fill it with an inert rubber-like substance to prevent the bacteria from proliferating in the area again. As a final step, a crown will be placed on the tooth to protect it from further damage.
Most root canals are completed in a single treatment, although the treatment timeline may be longer in certain cases, particularly if one of the molars is being treated, as those large teeth have multiple root canal chambers that must be cleaned as part of the treatment. Patients can resume most normal activities, such as driving, the day of the treatment if sedatives are not involved. Your dentist may give you some restrictions on activity and diet for a few days, however. If you have any questions about what to expect after your root canal, please consult with your dentist for specific guidance.
Unfortunately, many patients are under the perception that root canals are tremendously painful, but that reputation is undeserved. Most patients report that they experience no more discomfort from a root canal than they do when having a cavity filled. Local anesthetic is used to numb the site, and patients may choose some form of sedation for additional comfort, if desired. Because they remove the infected pulp material that is causing the patient's pain, root canals actually eliminate discomfort rather than causing it.
Costs of root canals fluctuate and are influenced by numerous factors, including the complexity of the procedure, the desired materials for the crown and other treatments that may be included in the treatment plan. Your dentist can give you a better idea of the anticipated costs of your root canal after evaluating your case.
Don't be afraid of a root canal! It doesn't hurt nearly as much as you think it will, and it can help save your tooth. If you are facing this treatment and have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to bring them up with our team at Westside Dental Group. We want to reassure you so that you can have as calm and comfortable a treatment experience as possible, even when a root canal is involved.
Do you have more questions about root canals and whether it can benefit you? Call our office to set up a consultation with one of our experienced, knowledgeable dentists. We can educate you about the various cosmetic interventions that may be helpful in your case and answer any additional questions.

Tesco is calling time on 24-hour opening at 76 of its larger supermarkets as the grocer seeks to make "more efficient use" of resources.
According to Retail Week, the supermarket giant said the affected stores – which represent around a fifth of the 400 Tesco stores that currently operate around the clock – would close at midnight and re-open at 6am following the changes.
It comes just four months after Retail Week revealed that Tesco had canned 24-hour opening at two of its larger stores.
Tesco insisted the latest changes to opening hours, which come into effect in the spring, are designed to "improve the shopping experience for customers," freeing up staff to replenish products on the shelves overnight in a bid to improve availability each morning.
It added that making "more efficient use" of time and resources would allow the business to make cost savings, which it could pass on to customers.

PINEDALE, (AP) - A Sublette County jury has convicted a man
of first-degree murder in the death of a Jackson woman whose body was found along a western Wyoming highway 25 years ago. The jury deliberated for a little more than two hours Friday before delivering a guilty verdict for 46-year-old Troy Dean Willoughby of Wickes, Montana.
Wickes had pleaded not guilty to shooting 25-year-old Elizabeth Miles Ehlers. Ehlers' body was found with gunshot wounds to the head, chest and hand in June 1984 at a gravel pullout off U.S. 191 near Hoback Canyon.
Sublette County Attorney Lucky McMahon says her office is seeking a life prison sentence for Willoughby. A sentence hearing is not yet scheduled. McMahon says the eight-day trial marks the first known murder conviction in Sublette County since 1912.

I think that If you guys are going to print a story you should get the name right.. For you said its wickes that plead not guilty.. If that were the case then my uncle would not be locked up in wyomings.. Its called reading it before you flipping print it...

[2015/12/13 11:07] albertlr Landar: Right now we have a balance of $2,605 in our paypal account.
[2015/12/13 11:08] albertlr Landar: now that is a little below where we like to keep it, to cover any unexpected expenses
[2015/12/13 11:08] albertlr Landar: We perfer to have around $3,000 and we have pretty much kept to that most of the year.

[2015/12/13 11:13] albertlr Landar: But I would like to ask anyone that may have land available or homesteads to let me know so I can include that information in the Wiki, or at least links to it.
[2015/12/13 11:14] albertlr Landar: A lot that is in the forums is hard to find, and is outdated.
[2015/12/13 11:14] albertlr Landar: So using the wiki may help people to better get the infor they need quicker.
[2015/12/13 11:15] albertlr Landar: I think one of the great accomplishments of the community this year was setting up the Friday dances after the need came up.
[2015/12/13 11:15] albertlr Landar: And we want to incourage more of that in the community.
[2015/12/13 11:18] albertlr Landar: But first I want to recognize Ubit who is the primary person responsible for the avination merge which is going on now, and is working very hard on giving us all such great new improvements to opensim.

[2015/12/13 11:42] stiofain nbmcmedia: i wanted to ask will the grid be adding whats needed to make divas onllook viewer work?
[2015/12/13 11:42] dan banner: stio: we will probably not be adding the onlook modules to the grid

[2015/12/13 11:46] albertlr Landar: one other thing I recently brought up with dan, is that when you hypergrid out of OSgrid you don't have a My Suitcase.
[2015/12/13 11:46] albertlr Landar: And you don't really need it, as anything you want to pick up elsewhere will go directly to your inventory.

[2015/12/13 11:48] albertlr Landar: We need to update our lists of what works and what does not work for people.
[2015/12/13 11:49] albertlr Landar: And I don't know if there is a successful way to over come the loop back issue with just a software fix, but that would be great if it exists.

So why didn't I do this in the first place? Well, in its old spot the toilet was right between two joists and had a simple run for its drain that wouldn't have needed a hole in a joist. In this spot, I will probably have to drill at least one joist, and I don't know if I can put it there without placing the drain right over a joist anyway. It's also a tight spot for the shoulders, although it looks to me like it could work. You have to remember that the tub is low enough not to matter to the shoulders of a person sitting on the toilet; it just needs to leave leg room.
This room will have a forced-air vent so that the central air can reach it, but it's in the ceiling above the tub. If the floor heat works as well as they say, I may end up closing that vent off in the winter to let the other rooms have more air.
(Yes, it's that small. Yes, the tub is non-negotiable. But you'll notice I've got a nice little path built in . . . and the pocket door really helps.)

Prime Minister Julia Gillard today announced the 2013 election will be held on September 14, nearly nine months away.
With the date now set, attention can fully turn to the local seats. The two seats of most interest locally are Hume and Throsby, which combined cover the whole of the Wingecarribee Shire. They are also two very contrasting seats. Throsby is held by first-term Labor MP Stephen Jones and covers a diverse coastal, urban and country area. Hume is an amorphous inland country seat held by retiring Liberal Alby Schultz.
Here's a brief look at the players.
The race for Hume is dominated by Alby Schultz's heir apparent Angus Taylor (updated, see note below). Taylor does have a good grip of the issues in Hume and has an established campaign office in Goulburn. Nipping at Taylor are Katter's Australian Party candidate Bruce Nicholson and [update: former] National Party member (but not endorsed candidate) James Harker-Mortlock. Adrian Van Der Bryl of the Christian Democratic Party has also joined the campaign.
Two more interesting points before we move on to Throsby.
- Taylor has copped some criticism for standing in for Alby Schultz at official events. Here is what the Goulburn Post has to say on that matter:
From what I've seen so far, Angus is a hard-working bloke who is putting in the hardest yards of all the candidates so far. I doubt he expects anything to be handed to him but I think… me personally… just my opinion… filling-in for Alby looks like a hand-out or a leg-up.
- When two KAP candidates in other states made anti-gay comments, Nicholson deftly avoided commenting on it, telling Highlands Votes he'll let KAP head office respond instead.
Labor incumbent Stephen Jones may yet be challenged for pre-selection, but realistically his electorate would be stupid to toss out a hard-working, likeable first-term, young MP for anyone else. The problem is that Jones is from Labor's left while his branches are dominated by right-faction powerbrokers. Thus far, other announced candidates include Liberal Larissa Mallinson and the Nationals' Nick Cleary.
Mallinson seems to have a fairly choreographed campaign so far, and has made a few visits to the Southern Highlands, but is keeping a pretty low profile as far as local media goes. Meanwhile, Cleary takes his chances to promote and defend high-profile Nationals wherever he can, such as this letter to the Southern Highland News praising the work of State Primary Industries Minister Katrina Hodgkinson.
*This post originally referred to Angus Taylor as a 'city boy'. Angus tells us he is from a fifth generation farming family, and was brought up on a farm in Monaro. Angus' dad was president of NSW farmers and vice president of the National Farmers' Federation. He currently lives on a rural property east of Goulburn.

June 30, 2017: Songs of the Day
Georges Bizet's 'Carmen Suite No.1: Les Toréadors'
Herbie Hancock's 'Chameleon'
Pop and rock:
Van Morrison's 'Caravan'
(Above: Australian Cardinal George Pell.)
There has been debate recently about the power of the N.S.A.--and no, this time it's not about whether or not the N.S.A. should be able to spy on people. The debate this time is more concerned about the kind of technologies and powers the N.S.A. has developed. In the aftermath of the ransomware cyber attack that occurred recently, people are concerned about the N.S.A.'s rushing to develop new technology without first ensuring that they can properly encrypt and protect it so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
Officials are puzzled about the cyber attackers' motives, which appear not to be financially motivated, but rather apparently seem to be centered around Ukrainian tax accounts.
After the Supreme Court ruled to uphold a partial form of President Trump's travel ban until they officially ruled on it in the fall, they released details of what the 'partial travel ban' would entail. Siblings are allowed into the country, considered close enough family to warrant this, but nieces, nephews, and grandparents are not. Step-siblings and half-siblings are also allowed.
Australian Cardinal George Bell, one of Pope Francis' closest advisors, has been charged with sexual assault.
After losing support from some Republican senators, Senate House Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has decided to go back to the drawing board. A vote on the bill to replace Obamacare will not take place until after the July 4th recess. Sources say that McConnell is also allegedly considering working with democratic senators to draft bipartisan legislation.
After getting wind of an alleged chemical weapons attack planned by the United States government, the president and other advisors promised punishment in return. Now, the Secretary of Defense, Mr. Mattis, has claimed that the threat is gone, and Syria has halted its plans to carry out the attack. Whether or not the attack ever existed is up for debate, but many sources in the cabinet seem to claim that it did.
With Xi Jinping in Hong Kong for the first time in his term as head of the Chinese state, the New York Times published this article to take a look at what this may mean for the democratic or sovereign future for the small island. Is Hong Kong the same place it was 20 years ago, when Britain relinquished control?
Have a great Thursday, folks!
Also, as a side note--what today's title is referencing (a previous song of the day):
June 29, 2017: Songs of the Day
If any of you are just joining us here, I'll explain in brief what this segment of the blog is--each day I post a track in jazz, classical, and then more modern rock 'n' roll, pop, or experimental (admittedly, by modern, I've mostly meant the 60s and 70s so far), as a means of trying to expose people to different music. If anyone has a suggestion for a song of the day, please send it my way at firstname.lastname@example.com.
So, without further ado:
Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18: 2. Adagio sostenuto"
Chet Baker, "My Funny Valentine"
The Who's "My Generation"
This song became an anthem for a rebellious teenage generation in the late 60s.
Here is The Who performing the song at their legendary Woodstock performance. (For those of you who don't know what Woodstock is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock
Have a super Thursday! Only 2 more days!
How do you make yourself stand out in college admissions? Well, research, for one...
Applying to college can be an incredibly daunting task. There's multitudes of applications to fill out, seemingly dozens of essays to write, forms to check, interviews to attend, and plenty of worrying that seems to come at any given moment. There can seem to be a pressure to really set oneself apart from the rest of the field--a feeling that in order to get into the college of my dreams, I need to be the perfect candidate. The reality of it is this--college admissions is a wildly imperfect science. There is no metric to assign a score to an applicant--there's no numeric scale that can measure the worth of any given student. Obviously, there are many factors that contribute to admissions decisions--some quantitative and some qualitative--and institutes of higher learning do have some way of filling their class each year. Some applications must be better than others, right? So what is it that makes an application stand out above the pack? What can one do to make themselves a better applicant--a better candidate?
Obviously, there are certain factors that are incredibly important and quantifiable--SAT and ACT scores, GPA, etc. These, whether one likes it or no, are important determining factors and should be treated as incredibly important. While they're not the only factors at all (and really should not be treated as such), they give the admissions department at a college an important numerical baseline--they show what you're capable of in an academic setting. And because they are numerical, they are easy to sort through, compartmentalize, or whatever else it is that the admissions departments do. These provide a number and a (perhaps poorly designed, but that's not for me to say) measurability to the candidate.
However, colleges don't just look at test scores--if they did, their classes would probably be fairly homogenous. It's an indicator, but not the only or best indicator of a student's potential and ability. This is where extracurricular activities come into play. These are also hugely important in the college admissions process. President of the astronomy club? Awesome. Played varsity soccer for 3 years? Fantastic. All of these things give a more complete picture of a student than just test scores alone. Not to mention the fact that American institutes of higher learning are more and more prioritizing (contrasted with their European counterparts) well-roundedness in a student. Imagine that you're a college admission officer--you have two profiles in front of you. Both are exceptional test takers and have the highest possible scores, but one of the two is also a concert pianist. Who are you going to take? Obviously, the one who has the more interesting and impressive extracurricular record (this is an exaggerated situation, but an example nonetheless).
Then, there's the essay--the object that gives a voice and some vestige of personality to the profile which otherwise just consists of a list of achievements and scores.
But last year, Harvard received more than 34,000 applicants to fill the class of 2021. Out of that number, it seems incredibly likely that there were more worthy candidates than there were available spots. There were probably too many candidates with stellar SAT scores, too many candidates with great GPA's and phenomenal extracurricular activity resumés, and too many great essays for these simple factors to completely allow the admissions officers to easily select a class. With top institutions such as this, it's never really an easy decision, and it seems likely that a great college will have to reject many great candidates.
This can probably seem pretty discouraging, but one has to think of it as an opportunity--as a challenge one can be excited about. One has to think: How can I differentiate myself? What can I do to stand out from the crowd? How am I unique? And often, these attributes may manifest in ways that are not immediately obvious from an application. And this is why you need to give colleges something tangible--something that shows them that you are a fantastic college candidate, that you are more prepared to take on the occasionally difficult, often quite independent learning challenge that is a college or university education.
What if there were a way to do something original--something creative and revealing of your personality that also shows a preparedness in doing college level work?
Well, there is!
A research project is an incredible way to accomplish all of these. Research is the driving learning and discovery force in intellectual academia--it's the kind of work college students, grad students, and professors all do. It is the staple food of institutes of higher learning, if you will. Carrying out some kind of research as a high school student will put you way ahead of the game, and it will also show colleges that you are ready to perform the kind of work that they expect--it evinces a kind of intellectual maturity and dedication to a lengthy project, and it shows that you will be ready to do college-level work from day one, something that can't be said of every applicant.
But doing a research project can do so much more than show you know how to do research--it can almost function like an extra essay in a lot of ways. First of all, if you carry out a research project until the end, it will deliver a tangible result that you can show off. This is huge. Being able to talk about an experience is one thing, but having a physical document of the experience itself is an incredible resource. Besides this, a research project also allows another glimpse into your personality. It reveals an interest and shows off the kinds of things that drive you--the kinds of things you're really passionate about.
A research project is an opportunity (and even more than an opportunity, it's also an interesting process that will help you to learn something about your field and learn something about yourself, immersing yourself in a creative project that you are dedicated to) to grow as an intellectual and also help differentiate yourself as an ideal college candidate. There are plenty of college applicants with marvelous test scores. But it's the creative aspects--the essays and special extra steps like research projects--that really can differentiate you and take you from being one of the pack to being above the crowd.
Doing a research project is a fantastic chance to have a great time delving further into one of your interests and also boosting your resumé to make yourself a more ideal, college ready candidate. A research project really is a fantastic idea.
June 28, 2017: A Brief Rundown
Today seems to be a relatively quiet day in the news, however, there are still some significant stories.
Yesterday, a south bound A-train derailed in New York City's subway system. The issue has ignited debate about the outdatedness of the system, which in many cases has not changed equipment in decades. New Yorkers are increasingly becoming frustrated with delay times, and now it seems that safety might also be an issue to contend with.
In Washington, a vote on the Senate Health Care Bill has been postponed until after the July 4th recess. President Trump recently said that he thought they were very near passing the bill, but there are still several holdouts in the Republican camp.
Debate in the aftermath of the deadly Grenfell Tower fire has escalated--there is argument over the effects of the mass privatization of buildings and safety regulations. It was recently found that one of the nearby buildings that was evacuated would not have passed building codes in New York City.
In the aftermath of a mass cyber attack, officials are trying to figure out the best way to move forwards. The attack involved people hacking and subsequently threatening to delete victims' personal data unless the victims paid.
And in science, there is a new initiative to beam communications into space. Are we alone in the universe? And if we're not, what next?
Have a lovely day, everyone!
(Above: One of the iconic shots from the director's A Trip to the Moon.)
Today, I'd like to spend just a brief couple of sentences introducing you all to one of the most important filmmakers of all time, of whom D.W. Griffith (known as the grandfather of the modern day feature length film) said: "I owe him everything." Méliès, in many ways, invented the art of narrative cinema. By imbuing his films with a story, he changed the way that people viewed the art form forever. His films are quite old, but most of them are very short, and they seem like nice little windows into a past--they become little 'pataphysical artifacts, or a time machine into the way people looked at film and fantasy. His most famous film is Le Voyage dans la Lune, or A Trip to the Moon (filmed in 1902). It details the journey of two primitive astronauts who go to the moon and battle the Selenites (moon-people) there. Below, I've attached links to that as well as some of his other short films. Enjoy the works of this cinematic founding father!
As a little bonus, here is the music video for Smashing Pumpkins' song "Tonight, Tonight," which is an homage to A Trip to the Moon.
June 28, 2017: Songs of the Day
Hi all! As a reminder, send me songs you'd like to be featured in this segment!
Claude Debussy's 'Réverie'.
This piece is fairly exemplary Debussy--it entrances the listener with its phrased lyricism, and its interesting use of bizarre scales (such as the whole-tone scale, which Debussy was quite fond of).
Wes Montgomery's 'In Your Own Sweet Way'
Montgomery was one of the first and most influential jazz guitarists.
The Velvet Underground and Nico--'Sunday Morning'
This song is the first track on New York band The Velvet Underground's first album. The album is often hailed as one of the most influential rock records of all time, infusing the genre with bits of avant-garde, noise music, and more experimentation, as well as offering a much more gritty picture of New York in its lyrics than previous songwriters had ever dreamed of.
Happy listening, all!
Hi all! My post for this week's edition of ''Great Movies' will be shorter than last time's. My goal here is to pique your interest and perhaps inspire you to watch something you might not have otherwise watched. Also, as a reminder, please send me suggestions and a short blurb about the movie you chose! These can be as short or long as you choose--the goal here is just to turn this into a more communal forum. We want to hear from all of you! As a reminder, my email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Today's 'Great Movie' is Weimer Republic (the name for the German state between the years 1919 and 1933) director Robert Wiene's 1920 proto-horror classic, Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari). The film is a landmark work in the movement that has since been called 'German Expressionism' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Expressionism). German Expressionism is a movement notable for its filmmakers' rejections of the natural objective reality--they instead opted to portray their subjects in distorted forms, strange perspectives, and odd colors, hoping to evoke subconscious emotion through their subversion of expected forms.
This film tells the story of a deranged hypnotist and his somnambulist ('sleepwalker'--though here it's almost more of a dead man come to life) who come to a small town in Germany and commit a series of heinous, ghastly crimes. There is also the insertion of a frame narrative, which has come to be somewhat controversial in retrospect (the Wikipedia page for the film has a good description as to why, though I'd recommend seeing the film first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cabinet_of_Dr._Caligari).
However, the film's most interesting element is its overall look--its incredibly distinctive mise-en-scène, or the setup of the shot--what's there before the camera starts rolling (e.g. lighting, makeup, set design, etc.--here's the wikipedia page on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mise-en-sc%C3%A8ne). The lighting is fragmented and abstract. Buildings are jagged and terrifying. There seem to be shadows lurking in the shadows. Lamp posts are no longer merely sources of light, but terrifying, jagged monsters that lurk in the night. It is one of the most interesting looking films ever put to celluloid--despite its age (97 years now!), the strangeness of the set design still makes it feel remarkably unique and invigorated. It is strangely affecting.
Though it is a silent film, it is incredibly gripping, and a must see for anybody who takes cinema seriously or considers him or herself a film aficionado. Dr. Caligari remains subconsciously affecting, and still creepy, even nearly a hundred years after its release.
Today there will be only two songs of the day, as I'm combining the classical and jazz categories to fit one (somewhat longer) piece, which seems to defy an outright categorization into either--so, without further ado...
Classical and jazz:
George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. I'm sticking with the rhapsody theme from yesterday and choosing Gershwin's 1924 masterpiece today. Melding jazz elements with certain aspects of classical composition and orchestration, this 'jazz symphony' is one of the most famous works by an American composer and one of the most famous works of the 20th century. Beginning with an iconic clarinet glissando, the piece features several rhythmic, key, and dynamic changes as it soars around. Gershwin allegedly said that he wanted to capture the sound of New York City in the early 1920s. Since its publication and initial performances, recorded versions of the piece have been featured in several movies and television shows. Enjoy!
Rock and pop:
The Beach Boys, "God Only Knows"
This track, featured on the Beach Boys heavily influential and masterful 1966 album, Pet Sounds, is often ranked as one of the greatest love songs of all time. And for good reason--it's an absolutely gorgeous track. Former Beatle Paul McCartney has cited it as his favorite song. Pet Sounds is ranked second on Rolling Stone Magazine's '500 Greatest Albums of All Time' list, and 'God Only Knows' is frequently cited as the best song on the album. The album is also largely credited with inspiring The Beatles 1967 masterpiece, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Happy listening! And please send me songs if you would like certain ones to be featured!
Our company posts everyday, from Songs of the Day to different activities that students do.

After three fantastic days of craft beer, spirits and cider, the Alltech Craft Brews and Food Fair closed its doors Sunday evening at the Convention Centre Dublin. Now in its fourth year, the festival attracted more than 10,000 visitors and officially became a world record breaker. The Guinness World Record for the world's largest beer tasting was smashed on the opening evening, Friday, Feb. 5, 2016. Ireland now holds the record with 729 people simultaneously tasting three beers. The record was previously held by Mexico with 714 participants.
"Breaking a Guinness World Records title and sharing it with fellow craft beer lovers was the perfect way to kick off the Alltech Craft Brews and Food Fair this weekend," said Dr. Pearse Lyons, founder and president of Alltech. "Not only were there 729 fans of craft beer in the room with me but they were from all over the world: Italy, Russia, Wales, the U.S.A and even Mexico and Brazil! What a fantastic win for our festival and for Ireland."
According to Gearoid Cahill, European director of brewing science for Alltech, and the official beer sommelier for the record-breaking attempt, the craft brewing industry is thriving in Ireland. "Craft beers, spirits and ciders have become a true talking point and are recognized and appreciated in Ireland and indeed the world over in the last number of years. Consumer excitement and passion for the craft beverage industry was displayed this weekend and truly has reached new heights here in Ireland."
The awards continued at the festival with the Dublin Craft Beer and Cider Cups winners announced on Friday evening. Award-winning brewers and cider makers received gold, silver and bronze medals in various categories, judged on appearance, aroma, flavor, body, style and quality. The fourth annual Dublin Craft Beer Cup was awarded to Irish brewers Rye River for their McGargles Francis' Big Bangin IPA.Rye River brew their craft beers in Co. Kildare. The Dublin Craft Cider Cup was awarded to fellow Irish company Orpens for their Fresh Pressed Apple Cider. A full list of winners for the Dublin Craft Beer & Cider Cups can be found here.
More than seventy exhibitors showcased their finest brews and food offerings to an eager crowd of more than 10,000 over the weekend. Live entertainment was provided by a range of talented Irish bands including The Camembert Quartet and Booka Brass Band. Attendees also enjoyed live Six Nations Rugby on three giant screens and a Craft Beer Grand Slam hosted by self confessed craft beer lover Rick O'Shea.
The festival organizers look forward to announcing the plans for the 2017 Alltech Craft Brews and Food Fair. Fans are urged to keep in touch with the team on Twitter via @alltechbrews and on Facebook.

Wednesday 26th July
A St. Johnstone U18s XI, featuring a number of players from the club's development side, won 8-4 this afternoon on the all weather pitch at McDiarmid Park against a Soccer Experience Academy side from Tenerife.
Among the scorers for Saints were Sean Struthers and Ben Quigley, while John Robertson bagged a hat-trick.
Midfielder Cameron Ballantyne also found the net in the victory, and the 17-year-old midfielder was pleased with the result and getting on the scoresheet:
"I thought it went went. Both teams tried to play football the right way and at this time of year we're just working on getting our match fitness back and that's what these games are for, and everyone managed to get some minutes on the pitch and did well.
"I was happy to get a goal. John Robertson picked up a rebound after the keeper spilled it and I took the gamble and ran in hoping he would pass to me. He managed to cross it in and I headed it to my left past the keeper."
The win over the side from Tenerife came on the back of other positive results in pre season for the St. Johnstone youngsters.
"We played against Vale of Earn in a Memorial Shield match and won that game convincingly (9-0) and then had a tough, physical game against Penicuik Athletic (4-2 win). That game against Penicuik is exactly what we need as young players, and I felt we played well and I was happy to score my first goal for the U20s in that match."
Cameron, who was originally born in London but grew up in Edinburgh, is one of nine stars of last season's U17s side to make the step up to full time football with Alec Cleland's U20s.
"Being here full time is better than I expected. I was expecting it to be tough but I've loved every minute of it. Seeing all the boys around the club has been brilliant and to work with people like Alec (Cleland) and Calum (Davidson) has been a great experience. I can't wait for the season to start and I know it's the same for all the boys.
"When I was asked about moving up to the U20s I was over the moon, I was so happy. I know it sounds like a bit of a cliche but it's been a dream since I was wee boy to play full time football and I jumped at the opportunity. St. Johnstone is the perfect club to start my journey at."
The SPFL Development League season kicks off for Saints away to Hamilton Accies on Tuesday 22nd August, and Ballantyne hopes he will be able to make a real impact this campaign.
"There's lots of competition in the side but the younger boys like myself, Euan (O'Reilly) and the other lads will be looking to push the boys already there. We're always looking ahead and confident that we can improve in the future and compete with the boys already in the team. There are some great players already in the U20s so the boys coming up will need to keep working hard to show what we're capable of.
"Personally, I'd like to consolidate myself in the team and gets as many minutes under my belt as I can. But the competition in the team is strong. I think it's important for the team to get a run of wins together at the start of the league season as something to build on and see how high we can go."
Last season, Cameron was rewarded for his performances last season in the U17s side - who won their league title and went a full calendar year unbeaten in the league - with a call up, alongside team mates Euan O'Reilly and Nathan Brown, to the Scottish Schoolboys squad for matches against the other home nations and the Republic of Ireland.
"We had home ties against England and Ireland and away trips to Wales and Northern Ireland. The highlight of those games was probably beating Wales 5-1 away from home. Being involved in those games meant alot to me."
Watch Cameron and the Saints U20s side this coming Sunday against Jeanfield Swifts at the Riverside Stadium, Perth. Kick off is 2pm.

Cerasuolo di Vittoria, Planeta 2007
Cerasuolo di Vittoria, Planeta 2007 Sicily, Italy
The name of Sicily's only DOCG comes from the word 'cerasa' in the Sicilian dialect, meaning cherry. By law, the wine must be a blend of two of the island's indigenous grape varieties – Nero d'Avola and Frappato. Here the ratio is 60:40 with Nero d'Avola giving structure and darker fruits, while the 40% Frappato provides intense red fruit aromas, flavours and freshness. Once picked, the grapes receive eight days maceration and are vinified in stainless steel to lock in the natural acidity. Even after nearly a decade in bottle, this has a stunning nose of strawberries and red cherries. The palate is distinctively fresh and juicy with sour cherries and wild strawberries. It has lovely sweetness a hint of savouriness with light and easy tannins.

Left to Right: Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera & Adam Levine.
Tonight we will learn the final four who will fill out the Top 8, as the voting for last week's teams, Team Adam and Team Cee Lo, come back. Who will be America's choice to survive? And who will be the coaches choice? I think it will be Vicci Martinez and Nakia making it through from Team Cee Lo, and Javier Colon and Jeff Jenkins through for Team Adam. However, I would put through Casey Weston instead of Jenkins, based on performance last week. But whomever gets through will be competing tonight for the Top 4, along with Dia Frampton and Xenia from Team Blake and Beverly McClellan and Frenchie Davis from Team Christina.
Just to give a little reminder of the last two weeks worth of shows, I thought I would post the Team songs that said a great deal about the teams. Let's start with Team Christina singing LaBelle's Lady Marmalade. Of course, Christina also sang the song with Pink, Lil' Kim & Mýa as part of the 2001 soundtrack for Moulin Rouge, so it comes as no surprise she pulled it out of the closet for her group of four lady-divas. Unfortunately, I thought the performance was a bit of a muddled mess.
That same show two weeks ago, coach Blake Shelton led his team of Dia Frampton, Xenia, Patrick Thomas and Jared Blake, for their number on the show. Team Blake sang the Maroon 5 hit This Love, much to the delight of Adam Levine. I was pleasantly surprised by this one, and thought Blake acquitted himself very well.
Last week, the other two teams took to the stage. Cee Lo Green was joined by Vicci Martinez, Nakia, Curtis Grimes, and Tori & Taylor Thompson when they performed Sly & the Family Stone's Everyday People. It was a great song, but it was quite the uneven performance, at least for me.
Finally, llast week marked the time when Team Adam performed the Lennon/McCartney classic, With A Little Help From My Friends. Javier Colon, Casey Weston, Jeff Jenkins and Devon Barley joined Adam for what was, in my book, a strong performance.
So tonight we shall see who stays from Teams Adam & CeeLo, and then watch the semifinals, when the remaining eight will be featured. Tonight, at 9PM/8PM Central, the fun begins on your local NBC station. Can't wait to see what they have in store for us this week. I will be doing a recap, and will also be appearing on Rickey's Secret Show later tonight.

"Our court wears gravity more than we relish," says the Spartan King Amyclas, hoping for some festive wedding celebrations to raise the collective spirits, in "The Broken Heart," a 17th-century drama by John Ford being presented at the Duke on 42nd Street by Theater for a New Audience.
Boy, do we know what he means! Selina Cartmell's stately staging of this rarely seen play is gloom-shrouded from the get-go. Ominous figures in black hoods skulk around the dimly lighted stage. Practically all the characters are tetchy, chilly or pouty, as if suffering from a collective toothache. It is not surprising that the blood flowing from their veins is not the gaudy lipstick red you usually see onstage, but ink black.
That's an inspired touch, actually, but there's little else to give variation to the somber tone of woe foretold in this well-acted but ultimately monotonous production. Ford, who wrote most of his plays during the reign of Charles I, is best known — in fact, virtually only known — for the more lurid and lusty " 'Tis Pity She's a Whore" (which, coincidentally, will be seen at the Brooklyn Academy of Music this spring, in a production directed by Declan Donnellan).
The drama is set in motion by a betrayal rankling the heart of Orgilus (Jacob Fishel), a Spartan youth whose betrothed, Penthea (Annika Boras), has summarily been snatched from his open arms through the workings of her ambitious twin brother, Ithocles (Saxon Palmer). Before his death, Penthea's father had promised her to Orgilus, but Ithocles forced Penthea to marry the wealthy, older and intensely jealous Bassanes (Andrew Weems).
Ithocles, returning from war as a victorious leader, now feels remorse about this decision, his own heart heaving with love for the king's daughter, Calantha (Bianca Amato), who, unhappily for him, is promised to the Prince of Argos (Justin Blanchard).
Meanwhile, Ithocles's great friend Prophilus (Ian Holcomb) cherishes a passion for Orgilus's sister Euphrania (Margaret Loesser Robinson), but must obtain her brother's permission to gain her hand — a tricky proposition, given Orgilus's undying enmity for Ithocles.
Since we are in the realm of tragedy, it is not particularly surprising that these romances do not all end well. But it would be nice at least to imagine that they might, a possibility mostly foreclosed by the general air of foreboding that suffuses Ms. Cartmell's production, performed on a handsome set designed by Antje Ellermann, with smoky, shadow-strewn lighting design by Marcus Doshi.
Even the play's few glimmers of humor have been snuffed out. In the role of Grausis, whom Bassanes has hired to mind Penthea and keep cuckoldry at bay, Olwen Fouéré appears to have been forbidden to play up the character's sly, earthy humor. Bassanes's bilious browbeating of Grausis occasionally earns a chuckle, as do the subversive asides of John Keating as another of Bassanes's servants. But detours into humor, or even a full-blooded humanity, are few on the road to thwarted love and violent retribution in Ms. Cartmell's vision.
That vision, it must be said, matches the generally studied and formal tone of Ford's language. Setting aside the fuming obsessions of Bassanes, most of the characters in "The Broken Heart" mask their passions in language that lacks the exuberant vigor and variety of Shakespeare's. The tone of high moral seriousness is set by Tecnicus (an aptly august-sounding Tom Nelis), a philosopher and friend to Orgilus who lectures him on the subject of honor, to little avail.
Still, the performances are mostly effective. Mr. Fishel handles Ford's language with care and infuses Orgilus with a quiet, seething intensity that makes you believe in his implacable need either to regain his love or make his foe suffer the consequences.
Ms. Boras, as the sufferer in chief among the play's many brokenhearted characters, digs into her mad scene with relish, but since she portrays Penthea's graven misery and righteousness with such steely rigor, you don't feel much in the way of pity when her mind gives way. (And the scene's length made me admire Shakespeare's economy in dealing with unhinged women: the mad scenes of Ophelia and Lady Macbeth don't rival those of bel canto opera in length, as Penthea's does.)
Ms. Amato exudes imperial grandeur as Calantha, which comes in handy in the peculiar scene in which she is brought news of various deaths and yet keeps dancing at a steady pace. Ms. Robinson brings a spark of innocence and welcome warmth to the small role of Euphrania. Mr. Palmer cannot make much of the fairly colorless Ithocles, whose passion is most aroused in a scene with his sister that faintly echoes the more scandalous incestuous romance in " 'Tis Pity."
By the conclusion of "The Broken Heart," several of the principal characters have met dire ends, in at least one case literally from the titular calamity. But the dashed romantic hopes and bloodletting don't inspire any great measure of feeling.
Ford's epilogue, delivered in elegant diction by Ms. Fouéré, cites various possible reactions to the play, ranging from "This was flat" to " 'Twas pretty." The one I most identified with was the reference to those in the audience who may merely "shrug in silence."

Versions of the installer earlier than version 2.0 can install and manage 32-bit Windows Installer Packages only on 32-bit operating systems. Note that you cannot advertise or install a 64-bit application on a 32-bit operating system.
A Windows Installer package must be specified as either a 32-bit or a 64-bit package; it cannot be specified as neutral. On a computer using a 64-bit operating system, the Windows Installer service is hosted in a 64-bit process that installs both 32-bit and 64-bit packages. Windows Installer installs three types of Windows installer packages on a computer running a 64-bit operating system:
- 32-bit packages that contain only 32-bit components.
- 64-bit packages containing some 32 bit components.
- 64-bit packages containing only 64 bit components.
The follow sections describe the two types of Windows Installer packages and the new installer properties provided by Windows Installer for 64-bit packages.

* New Argentine envoy tackles Hague over islands
* UK will not negotiate sovereignty unless backed by islanders
By Adrian Croft
LONDON, April 30 (Reuters) - Argentina's new ambassador to London ambushed Britain's foreign minister over the disputed Falklands Islands on Monday, asking him at a public meeting whether he was ready to "give peace a chance" by opening talks on the islands' future.
Alicia Castro, formerly Argentina's ambassador to Venezuela, took up her post in London in March, just as tensions escalated between Britain and Argentina 30 years after they went to war over the South Atlantic islands, known in Spanish as Las Malvinas.
Castro's appointment to a post left vacant since 2008 is part of a drive by Buenos Aires to push the Falklands issue back up the international agenda.
Setting aside diplomatic niceties, Castro tackled British Foreign Secretary William Hague on the subject as he launched Britain's annual world review of human rights at a ceremony attended by diplomats, journalists and rights activists in the opulent surroundings of Lancaster House in London.
"Seeing that the United Nations and the international community and a large group of Nobel prize winners urge both countries to (start) negotiations in order to find a pacific and permanent resolution, my question is: Are you ready for dialogue? Are we going to give peace a chance?" she asked as Hague took questions from the audience.
A flustered Hague, sensing that Castro was about to make a long statement, interrupted her several times, pressing her to ask a question before cutting her short with: "Thank you. That's enough. Stop."
President Cristina Fernandez has launched a wide-ranging diplomatic offensive to assert Argentina's claims to the islands, accusing Britain of maintaining "colonial enclaves" and calling on London to open sovereignty talks.
Britain says it will agree to talks only if the 3,000 islanders want them - something they show no sign of doing.
Answering Castro, Hague said: "Self-determination is a basic political right of the people of the Falkland Islands ... You can count on us always, permanently, to stand by that right."
After Argentina invaded on April 2, 1982, Britain sent a naval task force and recaptured the islands after a 10-week war, with the loss of 255 British and 650 Argentine lives.
In the run-up to this year's 30th anniversary of the war, Argentina has protested to the United Nations over British "militarisation" of the South Atlantic and has threatened to sue companies involved in oil exploration off the Falklands.
Argentine sculptor Adolfo Perez Esquivel and six other Nobel peace laureates last month signed a letter urging Britain to negotiate on the sovereignty of the Falklands.
Castro told reporters later that Hague had not answered her question. "You cannot say that you are so good at human rights and democracy if you are not open for dialogue," she said.
Self-determination did not apply to the Falkland islanders, she said. "Self-determination is not a right that every country has or every population has. A province in my country cannot decide if they want to belong to China," she said.
Asked if she intended to make a habit of appearing at Hague's public events to ask him about the Falklands, Castro laughed and said: "You wait and see".
Castro met a junior British foreign minister, Jeremy Browne, last week and handed over notes requesting talks with Britain on air links with the Falklands and South Atlantic fisheries.
Britain maintains that the Falklands are self-governing and that Argentina must talk to the islanders about such matters.
London has controlled the islands since 1833. Argentina has claimed the territory since that date, saying it inherited it from Spain on independence and that Britain expelled an Argentine population from the islands. (Reporting by Adrian Croft Editing by Maria Golovnina)

Obituary: Jean Barkman Denes
Jean Barkman was born June 24, 1921, in Idabel, Oklahoma, the daughter of Weaver J. Barkman and Bess Ward Barkman. A child of the Great Depression, her family moved often in order to find work. Due to the fact that she attended 18 different schools prior to the eighth grade, the local library became her best friend, and she was a voracious reader throughout her life. After graduation from high school, she settled in Texarkana, Arkansas, where she earned her living as a legal secretary and court reporter.
In 1943 Jean became a war bride when she married Dr. Claude Ware. They had two children, and in the mid-fifties the family relocated to San Diego and later Los Angeles where he worked as a psychologist in the aerospace industry. After the children were grown, she returned to school and earned a Juris Doctor degree and subsequently practiced law for many years in Los Angeles. In the early seventies, Jean and Claude went their separate ways but remained friends for the rest of their lives.
In 1976 Jean married Robert Denes, M.D. After retiring in 1987, they moved to South Lake Tahoe to be near the children.
Jean derived great pleasure from her computer and the Internet, checking her e-mails regularly, buying and selling on auction sites, and doing extensive
genealogical research. She was an avid bridge player her entire adult life, and she continued to play bridge on the Internet even into her nineties. At the age of 84 Jean survived her battle with breast cancer.
She will be remembered not only for her delightful personality, intellect, and quick wit but also her loving and generous nature. Others were naturally drawn to her due to her strong faith, optimistic outlook, and uncanny ability to find humor even in dire circumstances.
Jean is survived by her devoted husband of 37 years, Bob, loving children Gloria Ware Fletcher, Michael Ware, and grandsons Kyle Ware and Brent Ware.
On November 14, 2013, Jean Barkman Ware Denes passed at the age of 92. It was her wish that no services be held.

July 12 - Brotherhood (Amber Light Series, Volume 2) - Omar P Pena
Magic and Mystery with a Dark Edge
(Click Book to purchase from Amazon.com)
As you can see from my other reviews, I don't normally read what I think of a `wizard and magic' stuff but the blurb and cover to this one lured me in.
First things first, this tale doesn't fit neatly into a genre. There is magic, romance and a plot which keeps moving along at a brisk and exciting pace so I suspect if you are a fan of Charmed, Lord of the Rings or any darker tales of magic, this will be your kind of thing.
At the heart of the story is the classic battle of light and dark which is then intertwined with some fascinating subplots around love lost, growing disorder and a very real threat to the world. It begins with a classic prologue which sets the scene and from there you are thrown into a parallel world which slowly reveals itself to the reader. The chapters are well-sized for an evening's reading but I did find myself pushing it to the early hours just to get one more in - always a good sign.
I won't include any spoilers here but this is a deeply romantic book without being soppy. One of the central characters is Masumi, who is brave, inventive and a powerful female lead.
The writing itself is stylish and remarkably visual, with some clear Japanese influences. For example, the sentences are uncomplicated and direct, making sparing use of adverbs and adjectives and yet at the same time, the writing is powerful. It's a great combination and makes the reading experience easy and enjoyable as you get sucked into the plot.
The eBook I had was well-formatted and well-edited.
The author shows the reader an amazing world in this book and I look forward to further volumes set in the same universe.

Whos making a nice case that an old A model Gibson will fit in? Will the Collings vintage case work?
Whos making a nice case that an old A model Gibson will fit in? Will the Collings vintage case work?
Seems I read that the Collings case will NOT work for the short neck Gibsons. Older TKL cases work, and some cheaper new ones I have found to work, but it's nice to try them first.
If you can find one, the Eastman Fiberglass cases work well. The Bobelock fiberglass cases are nicer, and the "A" fits in it equally well.
One watch by night, one watch by day...if you get confused, just listen to the music play.
A 5 or the A 0 / 1 thru 4? It appears the redesigned Eastman FG was made to fit F5 & F4, and by extension short & long neck A 4 & 5.
I have the discontinued A5 only FG Eastman for my 'plastic' Mix mandolin.. backpack sreaps are great ..
writing about music
is like dancing,
about architecture
I believe that the Guardian CG-020-MA will fit Gibson oval hole A models. Not a fancy case, but durable enough for casual storage and local travel.
Hoffee and Calton cases can and often are made to fit the customers given dimensions or a specific manufacturer/model by altering the interior storage and neck and headstock supports. I had a custom Hoffee case built to fit my 23 F4 about eight years ago and was just looking at Calton's Website before calling Vernie to snag a nice F5 one he had in stock. You might contact the case builder to see if they can do the same with companies like Collins and Northfield. Good luck.
"A sudden clash of thunder, the mind doors burst open, and lo, there sits old man Buddha-nature in all his homeliness."
Yeah the Eastman fiberglass case fits my A2Z..... no storage space in those cases. The Mandolin Store usually has one or two in stock. R/
I love hanging out with mandolin nerds . . . . . Thanks peeps ...
I haven't seen an Eastman A style fiberglass mandolin case in years or are we talking about using the F style case?
"Bargain instruments are no bargains if you can't play them". These are the words of J. Garber.
My 1917 A1 snuggles in an Eastman F quite nicely!
One watch by night, one watch by day...if you get confused, just listen to the music play.
I was hoping they had started bringing in the A style fiberglass case again.
"Bargain instruments are no bargains if you can't play them". These are the words of J. Garber.
Mine's in a TKL A-style arched case and it fits extremely well, good support.
Blow on, man.
I have a Hiscox Pro II that works for my Black A2
Collings case seems way overkill for almost $1000. I have all my A's and similar shorter neck copies in TKL arched cases. Good solid cases.

I've posted this here in the past, but a Reunion Blues Continental Tenor Ukulele bag is affordable and great protection. I've seen them as cheap as $70 recently on Reverb. Salem music has a Reunion Blues bag that might work. I have bought two leather Reunion Blues "A" style bags from them.

Read what others have to say about Bump to Babe…
Meet Catherine. She's 36 weeks in this photo. Catherine's here demonstrating a Pilates "Bow and Arrow" exercise which is great for strengthening the upper back and getting movement into the spine.
Catherine joined Bump to Babe Fitness Classes at 15 weeks pregnant and finished her last Fitness Class at 37 weeks. Catherine managed to attend three Pregnancy Pilates courses consecutively, continuing into her 39th week of pregnancy.
When asked what she would tell a mum-to-be who was considering signing up to Bump to Babe, this is what she said:
"Try not to use pregnancy as an excuse to stop exercising! I started attending Claire's Pregnancy Fitness & Pilates classes when I was 15 weeks pregnant and would recommend starting them as soon as you can and continue for as long as you are able. The exercises are safe and help keep you fit and flexible. Ive also met some other lovely mums-to-be through the classes."
Suze is here demonstrating a seated Side Stretch which is really nice for stretching out the side of your waist and back during pregnancy. Side Stretch feels lovely, and really releases out tension, particularly if you've been dug in the ribs by a foot or elbow recently!
Suze attended Bump to Babe Fitness classes from her 16th week of pregnancy and managed two Pregnancy Pilates courses, attending 2 classes a week on a very regular basis.
When asked for her feedback about the classes and whether she'd recommend Bump to Babe to other expectant mums, here's what she said:
"Go for it – its a great way to keep fit safely!"
Meet Lauren at 34 weeks pregnant.
She's demonstrating a Squat for you here. A fab exercise for toning and strengthening the buttocks and thighs, and preparing you for labour.
Lauren has been a regular fixture at the Bump to Babe Fitness classes since her 14th week of pregnancy and has really enjoyed keeping active.
Also attending the Pregnancy Pilates classes right up until her 38th week of pregnancy, she found these extremely useful for keeping her back pain in check.
This is what Lauren has to say about Bump to Babe:
"I have really enjoyed the classes so much and feel energised, fit with a bump, but also strong in all the right places, and its lovely to feel empowered to exercise safely right up to the end of pregnancy. I have met some really lovely ladies and can't wait to see them and the babies in the not to distant future."
And, here's some feedback from other Bump to Babers, past and present:
Really enjoyed my first Bump to Babe class and actually felt invigorated instead of wanting to drop straight to sleep as soon as I got home! – Karen, Derby
I slept SO well after your Bump to Babe class on Monday. It was FAB and I felt really good fitness-wise too. – Sarah, West Bridgford
I wanted to say thanks very much for your Bump to Babe classes and your great knowledge on this swell condition! I have had a great time and met some lovely people. – Claire, Gamston
I really enjoyed both the Bump to Babe Pregnancy Fitness and Pilates classes this week and it was really nice to meet other pregnant mums. Can you put me down for the next Pregnancy Pilates class please, as I don't want to miss out! – Gina, West Bridgford
I really enjoyed Bump to Babe. It's nice to get to a class again after stopping circuits a few months ago. It's a really nice group. Looking forward to coming again! – Rebecca, West Bridgford
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed Bump to Babe yesterday – just the right pace, nice people and nice to have a l'il social gathering afterwards! I'll see you next week! I plan to make every week of the next 10 weeks! – Bella, West Bridgford
Claire, it was great to meet you and the expectant mothers at Bump to Babe last night. I was really getting sick of Davina McCall's DVD – exercising in a group and having a comparison chat after is just what I need. – Helen, West Bridgford

04 Aug Credit inquiry on my credit report – what is it?
A credit inquiry will show up on your credit report whenever someone, usually a creditor, looks at your credit report. Only someone with a "permissible purpose" is allowed to look at your credit report.
When a creditor/lender looks at your report in response to your request for credit, a hard inquiry is placed on your report which then lowers your credit score.
When a creditor/lender is "looking" at your report to send you a credit offer, it is called a soft inquiry. Soft inquiries do not affect your score. Your credit score is not affected when you look at your own credit report.
An individual should look at their credit report at least once a year to check if an authorized person has looked at their credit report.
