IBAN - an international standard for bank account numbers
IBAN is an internationally agreed standard for bank account numbers used in connection with international payments. The payment recipient's IBAN must be given for payments in euros within the EU/EEA and Switzerland, and may also be required for other currencies and countries. IBAN was developed by ECBS, the European Committee for Banking Standards. The aim of the standard is to make payments within this region more secure and faster.
Remember to provide your foreign payers with details of your IBAN and the bank's BIC (SWEDSESS).
IBAN account numbers should be written on invoices etc. in groups of four digits:
e.g. SE28 8000 0832 7900 0001 2345.
N.B.: You cannot use the calculator to work out IBANs for accounts held at other banks.
-Enter the full Swedbank/Savings Bank account number without space or punctuation marks, and press the "Calc" button.
- If your clearing number/account number begins with 7xxx, you should enter e.g. 71041234567.
- If your clearing number/account number begins with 8xxx-x, you should enter e.g. 832791234567890.

IRVINE, California, August 3. THE U.S. Open came to a close tonight in Irvine with T2's Justine Bowker moving into the top 10 in the world in the women's 200-meter IM. Meanwhile, Gator's Sebastien Rousseau snagged his third title of the meet.
If you don't recognize the name, Justine Mueller married T2 coach Chris Bowker on May 11 of this year and prefers to go by her new last name. She's even sporting "Bowker" on the side of her cap recently. The official results just haven't caught up to the name change yet.
Bowker roared to the finish with a 2:11.06 to capture the women's 200-meter IM title. That swim vaulted her to 10th in the world this year, bumping Elizabeth Beisel out of the top 10. Beisel previously anchored the rankings with a 2:11.16 from Worlds. That's a lifetime best for the T2 veteran, clipping her 2:11.46 from the 2009 U.S. Open during the techsuit era, that also had stood as the meet record.
Bowker has had a career resurgence lately under Paul Yetter at T2 Aquatics as the club continues to nurture and develop some of the talent that could make a run at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Back in 2008, Bowker graduated from the University of Michigan and has still stuck with the sport. Throwing down a top 10 time is definitely a good indication that she's in the right place.
Pleasanton's Celina Li raced to second in 2:12.72, edging her personal best of 2:12.73 from U.S. Nationals earlier this year. SwimMAC's Kathleen Baker, 16, finished third in 2:13.35. That's her first time under 2:14 beating her PB of 2:14.46 from her hometown event of the Charlotte UltraSwim.
Baker's life is about to get really interesting as SwimMAC enjoys a serious influx of talent with the likes of Kirsty Coventry and Lauren Perdue both heading to Charlotte shortly. Not to mention Ryan Lochte, who is planning on having a bit of a nomadic life the next few years with scheduled stays in Charlotte and Australia booked so far.
Rousseau took home his third individual title of the meet as he powered down the stretch to win the men's 200-meter IM in 1:59.58. He came up just half-a-second shy of Michael Phelps' meet record of 1:59.26 from 2006, but has had a tremendous meet thus far.
Indiana's Stephen Schmuhl broke 2:00 for the first time as he touched out NBAC's Austin Surhoff for second, 1:59.90 to 1:59.92. That's a huge personal best for the Hoosier, having previously posted a 2:01.72 this morning as his lifetime best. Coming into the meet, Schmuhl's best had been a 2:02.08 from Indiana Senior States just a few weeks ago. That's a huge progression for Schmuhl, and is the first time an IU swimmer has cleared the 2:00 barrier.
Australia's Laura Crockart opened the final night of the U.S. Open with a 16:08.36 to capture the women's 1500-meter freestyle finale. NBAC's Gillian Ryan, part of a youth movement in the distance freestyle for the U.S. helmed by world-record holder Katie Ledecky, took second in 16:15.65. She just missed her personal best of 16:14.67 set a year ago at the 2012 Speedo Junior National Championships. SoNoCo's Alicia Mathieu rounded out the podium with a third-place time of 16:16.75.
Auburn's Zane Grothe raced his way to victory in the men's 800-meter freestyle with a 7:56.16. He demolished his previous personal best, cutting under 8:00 for the first time ever. He came into tonight with an 8:02.06 as his best time from the U.S. Nationals earlier this summer. Island's Eric Hedlin picked up second in the distance event with a 7:59.68, while Dynamo's Kevin Litherland placed third in 8:01.17.
The sprint 50s closed out the night and the meet. Wisconsin's Ivy Martin clipped her lifetime best in the women's 50-meter free with a 25.11 for the win. That swim beat the 25.15 she set at sectionals just a few weeks ago. Stanford's Maddy Schaefer placed second overall in 25.27, cutting her previous best of 25.37 from the 2010 Junior Nationals, while SwimMAC's Madison Kennedy, and also of the recently-released Swimmers Calendar, wound up third in 25.34.
SwimAtlanta's Karl Krug completed the night with a lifetime best 22.15 to win the men's 50-meter free. That swim cleared the 22.38 he set earlier today, which also surpassed his 22.54 from the 2011 U.S. Nationals. California's Seth Stubblefield turned in a 22.19 for second just behind Krug, besting his personal record of 22.26 from U.S. Nationals earlier this summer. NYAC's Tyler McGill checked in with a 22.25 for third, while SwimMAC's Cullen Jones placed fourth in 22.32.

Granite City Food & Brewery
Company Overview
Granite City Food & Brewery®, a casual dining restaurant with an on-site brewery. Our initial restaurant commenced operations in St. Cloud, Minnesota, in June 1999. Our second restaurant, located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, commenced operations in December 2000, and our third restaurant opened to the public November 20, 2001 in Fargo, North Dakota. We now have 26 stores operating in 11 different
states. At Granite City Food & Brewery®, we serve signature beers, including Duke of Wellington (an English ale) and Broad Axe Stout (an authentic Irish beer), and entrees such as London broil. We offer a broad menu of items that are prepared fresh daily and are served in generous portions at reasonable prices. Our handcrafted beers are moderately priced and offer unique styles and flavors not typically produced by major breweries.
Our founders, Mr. Wagenheim and Mr. Burdick, have over 52 years of combined hospitality industry experience. Mr. Wagenheim's experience includes that of corporate executive, owner/operator, manager and consultant for hotels, resorts, and individual and multi-unit restaurant operations. Mr. Burdick, a brewing chemist, has over 30 years experience in the restaurant, hospitality and brewing industry in both corporate and private positions.
Fermentus Interruptus™Shortly before we opened our third store, we launched our patented brewing process, Fermentus Interruptus™, which makes micro brewing for multiple locations more efficient. This process, conceived and designed by Mr. Burdick, allows us to ship sweet liquid called wort, from our central brewing facility to individual stores. When this liquid reaches the stores, we begin the fermentation process and complete the brewing. We use Fermentus Interruptus at all of our Granite City Food & Brewery® locations.

North West Seymour Tieback – BG Group (Black Oil, North Sea)
North West Seymour (NWS) from the Armada field in UK Central North Sea as a subsea tie-back to the Armada platform.
Wood Group Kenny's Process Solutions group has conducted a flow assurance study to analyse the impact of changing the operation from topsides to subsea choking and rerouting the fluids to a larger separator to which other fields were flowing.
The NWS system was modelled in detail from bottomhole via the 6" flexible flowline and riser, to the Maria Separator. The OLGA* model incorporates the 3-phase separator with the valves and controllers on each of the gas, water and oil outlet lines. The inlet flows from Pi and Maria routed to the separator are also modelled.
The objective of the study was to review any flow assurance issues relating to the NWS production through the Maria Separator (with Pi and Maria commingled fluids) and assess the impact of the NWSS production to the Armada topside facilities through life of field operations.

Former House Speaker and powerful Senate Rules Chairman John Thrasher may have tipped his hand too soon in a bid to make history as the second lawmaker to serve as leader of both chambers.
Thrasher is embroiled in a fight with Senate Majority Leader Andy Gardiner over the 2014 Senate presidency. Gardiner had already assembled the pledges to assume the leadership role after incoming Senate President Don Gaetz. But Sen. Jack Latvala, a political mastermind who returned to the Senate last year, launched a play for the 2014 top spot.
The drama played out in the Senate Office Building late Tuesday evening. Talk around the Capitol had Gardiner handing over his presumed presidency to Thrasher, who would be followed in 2016 by Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart.
But a tired-looking Thrasher left the Senate Office Building around 7 p.m., and more than an hour later, Gardiner was still holed up in his office.
"I am very humbled and very happy. It's been a real eye-opening thing for me," Gardiner, R-Orlando, said, emerging from his office for a bathroom break. "I'm a happy warrior."
Gardiner credited Sen. David Simmons, R-Altamonte Springs, with helping gird his support, calling Simmons "a rock star."
Thrasher apparently was unable to convince enough of Gardiner's pledges to switch over. But before going home, the veteran legislator – who also served as chairman of the Republican Party of Florida – did not exactly concede.
"If I got enough votes, I guess I would be" Senate president in 2014, the St. Augustine Republican said. "I don't know. We're going to wait and see what happens. I think it's premature to talk about that right now."
Negron called the "leadership discussions" normal.
"There have been discussions today as there were yesterday and will be tomorrow and next month and next year among the family caucus on how we want to proceed," the Stuart Republican said. He said the future presidency was still up in the air. "We're talking about that."
And he said he's been "quietly been gaining support" for his 2016 bid.
"We'll have to see how the rest of it plays out," he said.
Thrasher played down what may have been a tide-turning loss Tuesday.
"I'm taking over the last three weeks and throwing Mike Haridopolos out and then I'm taking over from Gaetz and all that," he joked.

This is my last pre-booked ticket to Manila which was booked last Dec 24, 2010. This will be my last out of Cebu trip for the year. There were 3 of us who booked this ticket but only I decided to pursue on this trip. My sister Julie decided to join me since I am alone and because she also wanted to visit her boyfriend. A week before our trip as we were (me and my officemate) casually talking with Freddy, my officemate mentioned that we will be travelling and invited along Freddy as it will be his last week in Cebu before he goes back to the U.S.. A day before the travel date Freddy decided to join us on this trip, so we booked his ticket and told him to pack and bring some stuff when he comes to the office the next night.
Travel Date: November 12-14, 2011
Participants: Me, Julie, Freddy and Francis (from manila)
We left the office dawn of Saturday and arrived in Manila at around 6am. Julie, who went a day ahead, picked us up in the airport and we went directly to Jam terminal in Kamuning. Bus fare to Batangas port was Php175. It is best to leave Manila as early as possible to avoid traffic and make sure that you take your breakfast or grab something along the way since the Batangas port does not have a lot of stores that serves meals.
Round trip boat fare to Puerto Galera is Php450 + Php50 environmental fee + Php30 terminal fee, you only have to pay the additional fees once. Make sure you have your ticket confirmed when you arrive in Puerto Galera and ask your departure time for the next day.
There are a lot of people offering tour packages (beach activities, inland and island hopping packages), make sure you choose the one which offers the lowest price. For the inland tour (Tamaraw Falls only) we were offered Php1500 for the van rental, the next day when we were searching for other offers we found one that only offered 200 per head for the Tamaraw falls trip on board a tricycle. It was the best offer so we grabbed it right away.
After the our short trip to Tamaraw falls we packed our things and waited for our boat ride back to Batangas port. Since we still have a night to spare, we went to Tagaytay. We had our dinner and literally chilled for a while before we started our drinking session.

The HTC Wildfire S has received a £40 price-drop ahead of its release, which now look sets to happen sooner than expected.
It's a good day for fans of the second-gen Wildfire, as it can now be bought for just £229.99, a whole forty-pounds cheaper than its original price-tag.The handset can also be grabbed two weeks earlier than we were previously anticipating, as Play.com have pegged the blower with a May 13th release date.
It may be a "mid-range" smartphone, but the HTC Wildfire S certainly isn't lacking in features. The Gingerbread-toting handset arrives packing a 600MHz processor, a 3.2 inch 320 x 480 LCD display, HTC Sense 3.0 UI, a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera with flash, HSDPA and WiFi connectivity, a 1230mAh battery, and up to 32GB of storage via microSD.
Once available next month, the HTC Wildfire S will be available to order on subsidized deals with Orange, T-Mobile, Three and Vodafone. Although unconfirmed, it's likely to fetch around £20.00/month, cheaper than its higher-specced Desire S sibling.

Goldman's "Early Warning Signals"
Fed officials have repeatedly emphasized the importance of financial stability for monetary policy. But, as Goldman Sachs points out, knowing which financial and macroeconomic imbalances to monitor is challenging, not least because of the limited number of past crisis episodes in the US. To help The Fed, Goldman surveys a large economic literature that studies the effectiveness of "Early Warning Systems" (EWS) in detecting banking crises, costly asset price busts, and currency crises across a broad range of countries. While they suggest subtlely that the Fed is clueless with regard what to look for, they note that credit markets and asset-price run-ups (especially when they occur together) provide a statistically clear warning signal... and as we know, both are flashing red currently.
The results, Credit markets are the canary most often cited...
And as we explained here in detail (and numerous times in the last few weeks), Credit is flashing redder than ever.
As Goldman notes, we draw three key lessons from our survey:
First, several indicators turn up repeatedly as valuable warning signs. In particular, credit growth, run-ups in asset prices (especially house prices), the current account, the real exchange rate, and GDP growth are frequently cited across studies. Other indicators appear more frequently in studies of particular types of crises, such as weak governance and regulation in the case of banking crises, or reserve holdings in the case of currency crises.
Second, many studies note that the joint occurrence of multiple signals provides a statistically clearer message. For example, rapid credit growth in the context of weak bank regulation or an asset price run-up fueled by large current account deficits might send a stronger warning sign than the indicators do independently.
Third, EWS nonetheless tend to have a modest signal-to-noise ratio. The models fail to predict some crises, and in other cases struggle to assess the likely severity of a bad outcome. For example, they might have been unable to distinguish between the consequences of US asset price collapses in 2000 and 2007. The models also sometimes send false positives, calling to mind Paul Samuelson's remark that "Wall Street indexes predicted 9 of the last 5 recessions." In addition, some indicators are as coincident as leading, and studies that are more ambitious in testing for an advance warning sign tend to have less success. Finally, the lessons drawn from one set of crises do not always apply to the next. Indeed, research by San Francisco Fed economist Mark Spiegel reports little success in predicting which countries would have been hit by the global financial crisis.
* * *
The bottom line is that despite Fed officials proclaiming omniscience, Goldman believes the Fed cannot accurately identify bubbles and therefore the costs of tightening in response to a potential bubble are too high no matter what...

LOL, as stable as fraud is. The Fed's balance sheet is much larger due to mark to fantasy accounting.
Banks have 0 reason to be responsible. Just take bank reserves and off-shore them. Run the bank into bankruptcy and get bailed out again. Every banker should be doing this. The Federal Reserve encourages fraud and money laundering.
Coporations are encouraged to continue to offshore technology, businesses and factories. The government encourages welfare, EBTs, section 8's, medicaid and free schooling for illegals. So more illegals flood the US to get the freebies.
What can go wrong with this picture?
Every item on that list should be red.... WTF is Goldman smoking?
Statistical leading indicators tested for when they proved to be positive signals vs. false positives.
Nothing on that list should be shocking to anyone, but the order of when people could identify bad signals with when it actually Affected general perception (it became a statistical flag) is important for players new to the cycle and/or playing from Home.
What is new, is Jim Cramer is now worried about technical mean reversion, and market risk which has grossly underappreciated energy security and cheap-profitable R&D. This should also be nothing new to a ZH poster but who it is, has some interesting connotations in market psych.
Hmmm, all three "problem" areas have a simple solution: more free money.
It cracks me up, all these people trying to 'read the signs'. As if there was anything coherent in all that fudged and adjusted data.
They'd be better off eviscerating a sheep and holding fistfulls of entrails up to the heavens.
Or check the horoscope pages of their local newspapers. Magic 8-ball, Ouija board, draw straws, whatever.
Come to think of it, this whole economy of ours is rather like a religion, isn't it? The world of finance has as tight a hold over our lives as the Catholic Church ever had over the faithful in the early Middle Ages. Not 'technically' in charge of the secular (the King was), they nonetheless ran the show. The mere threat of excommunication (banned from the credit markets) is enough to keep everyone in line.
We have our clergy, the Yellens and Blankfeins, our confirmations and baptisms of obtaining credit and going into debt, our sacred obligations of paying it back no matter what.
Finance may not be an actual religion, but it functions in much the same way in our lives. So what's the difference?
Sadly, they don't do human sacrifice to appease angry gods or make it rain any more. Aside from that, not much.
I know, they've stripped all the theatrical flair out of the thing. And you have to go to New Guinea to see a good witch-burning these days....(just kidding, that was horrible..)
But yeah, it is the same. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it.
Bankster suicides is a form of human sacrifice to appease the overlords of Wall Street. These suicides are enough to instill fear in the populations of Banksters allowing further criminality to continue which, in turn, fosters more money to rain down from the commandiong heights of Investment Banking.
Re: So what's the difference?
There is none.
Politics and religion simply create a forum where the smart-n-savvy people can manipulate the dumbasses with bullshit for fun-n-profit.
Anything plus bullshit will have more value for the creator of bullshit:
Morals + bullshit -> religion
Government + bullshit -> politics.
paint + bullshit -> spatter art
stuff + bullshit -> bling
money + bullshit -> finance.
Bullshit, don't leave home without it.
It turns out that relationships can only thrive or survive WITH a certain optimal level of Truth and Bullshit. Too little or too much are both bad.
Truth is like salt: You can't live without it, but too much will kill you.
Bullshit is like spice: "Without it, life is dull. Too much of it ruins things.
A good life therefore needs optimal levels of both salt and spice. It also needs optimal levels of "sugar". ;-) ;-)
Sugar, salt and spice makes life good, and the world go round and round.
The kings always answered to the priest standing behind the throne with a knife, and never got to be kings in the first place without their approval.
My last paycheck was $9,500 from online piracy and my sister wants to blow eveyone on this site...
Well if a reputable Bank like Goldman says something it must be worth posting.
Gerald Celente says war is coming. Hope Goldman doesn't survive it.
What a crock of shit. Goldman can never be wrong because they play both sides. Fucking Yahoo!
I read that piece earlier today. That was some of the funniest muppet bait garbage I've read in a long term. 4.5% fed funds rate.... Lol. It's never going above 1% again.
4.5 rate....wow they must think everyone is real stupid....never again.
"Never" huh?
It will when the vampires blow this abortion to kingdom come, and with it will go all the BTFD'ers and everyone who has 100% faith in the FED.
Like you, by the sounds of it.
If you think that anything above 1% on the fed funds rate won't blow this system to kingdom come, then you are completely clueless. Last time the fed tried raising rates at .25% per meeting they didn't have anywhere near the leverage that's in the system now. An inverted curve is the death nail to debt based petro-dollar.
Edit: I'm making the assumption that you do comprehend exactly what the fed funds rate is. Judging by your comment that may be a faulty assumption.
muppet slaughter
So basically goldstein is warning it will bomb the school before it bombs it.
$GDXJ looks increasingly bullish despite divergence from the metals. That should raise warnings
I had a nightmare that there was a little man inside my head who has been keeping a running tab since I joined this site and others, to gain some knowledge, share some insights, introduce my mother, Budgie Twitters, to a wider audience, and generally associate with somewhat more sophisticated types that I cannot find on those other sites like WonderWall, Playboy, and MAD.
The tab so far has a monstrously large number of hours, weeks, days, and months of accumulation and a little note at the end of the current tally that reads, "So, my little sparrow, what have you learned that will help you during the rest of your life"?
There is no response, and I am unable in the cold light of day to find anything I've learned that would prove useful in 1) making more money, 2) having sex with more girls, 3) distilling my own whiskey, 4) changing the tire on my 21 yr old P/up truck.
There shoulda been a warning back in 2006 that, while extinction is the only guarantee for all of us as evidenced by the ZH Motto, this site IS guaranteed to not restore your original hair color, or remove worry lines from the third eye of your forehead, or make you more desirable to supermodels, movie starlets, and lap dancers.
The most one can say for it is, it is good mental therapy, a harmless venting spout. The silence one would have to endure by not saying anything about the things that are going on which we are powerless to influence, control or even in many cases, notice, as the immortal Jimmy Buffet says, we would all go insane.
Re: I had a nightmare
It's not a nightmare, he's actually there at night keeping a running tab.
I like ZH because the articles are real and tell the fucking truth about what is going on. With any luck I might get the odd stock tip from time to time. I usually post to try and cheer up some of you pessimistic pricks! :)
Aye, captain.
Caught in between a tough place and a shit hole are you boomers? What is the purpose of ZH again? I have nothing but respect for those who informed me about the depths of monetary policy a couple of years ago but now I am befuddled by such complacent ignorance. Any ideas to share boomers? Life has been so luxurious in commodities and services that it no longer has much to offer in stimulation for you all. If not then you serve to provide disservice. Explain how such complacent humans become such worthless contributors to intelligence?
Explain how such complacent humans become such worthless contributors to intelligence?
On top of all the other shit I have to do? I do see what you are sayin' though, 1-4 "should" be the natural order of things if, "things" were "normal" right?
Manage your expectations, bon ami.
IT is not the purpose of another human bean to contribute anything to you. The sole reason for one's existence, for indeed, winning the lottery of conception, which has it at 1 chance out of each 330,000,000 spermatazoa, its purpose is to reproduce itself. And that's it. Nothing more is required. All the rest of this nonsense, absurdity, and pornographic downloading is just maple icing on a Panera cinnamon roll.
Having already been a student of the economy, in all its unfeterred and managed glory, the concepts espoused on ZH have worked to the detriment of nearly everyone who has NOT used it as a contrary indicator for over 6 years and counting.
From that standpoint, as the diametrically opposed bell"weather" (sic), of what should be done re: how to interpret the FED, arguably the most omnipotent force for profit in the history and prehistory of the universe, it has been near a perfect 'negative space' as one could hope for.
It's like having a hidden sound sensing device operating in real time in J Yell's and b 4 him, Ben's water closet, as they type in the next 100 billion to Lord Blankfein's Christmas Savings account, with an added 5% interest for being ten minutes late.
Forsake precipitateness; embrace complacency.
And J B T D.
You'll thank me later.
Everyone knows that they ring a bell when the market hits the top.
Unfortunately, the bell is rung every day when the market closes.
The bell tolls for thee...says I, with irony.
So if I'm reading this right, GS is waiting for S&P to shed about 100 and then the money printing starts again to bail all the banks bad bets out again?
Buy Portuguese bank bonds!
The bottom line is that. . . the Fed is JPM and a few Banking Families.
The Fed is fed up to their eyeballs in bullsheet
Smoke and mirrors
When you have dysfunctional markets (rigged and manipulated by banksters) these risk models are useless.
When you put the Goldman label on them, there is a great chance that the regulators will lap on them. So they will become the elements to build snake oils for the likes of Goldman to plunder further with minimum risk captial, etc.
Atop of these concotions (flashed out as regulated products), the banksters will trade in opposite directions when all their muppets are on one side.
First repair the markets (the ecosystem) by first clearing off the perverse predators who are getting desperate to grab as much as they can now.

White House tells Sunday Times Obama pressed Netanyahu to postpone Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities until after November, adding president 'might visit Israel in summer'
Published: 03.11.12, 12:38 / Israel News
According to the report, Obama has taken Israel's
warnings about a possible strike in Iran
very seriously. The Washington source added that the president "might visit in the summer to reassure the Israelis that the US commitment to defend Israel is unshakable and thus thwart a possible autumn attack."
Related stories:
Obama insisted that any attack on Iran should be postponed until after the US presidential elections in November, possibly even until next spring. The source revealed that Netanyahu consented to delaying a strike, but wished to know until when. "The question is how much time," he reportedly said.

The source reported that Israel's National Security Advisor Yaakov Amidror presented US administration and military officials with new intelligence data about Iran's nuclear program. The findings included "Project 111," a project to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile warhead and conduct large-scale high-explosive experiments, the Sunday Times reported. Amidror also noted that a Russian expert in Tehran had been involved for the past six years in helping develop Iran's nuclear program.

The not-so-pearly gates
Faith & Inspiration
My oldest daughter and I are visiting family in Maine this month and decided the other day that we would use the rainy day to go find the home of author Stephen King in Bangor. Driving through the winding, hilly, curving roads of Route 1A, we hit town about 11 in the morning and proceeded to feel our way toward his house.
A realtor I ran into earlier in the week told us his house was on Ohio Street, so after much ado, we exited Route 1A, turned left on Union Street, which turns into Ohio, passing Bangor Theological Seminary on the left and driving straight up the hill, each of us peering out our respective windows, looking for King's tell-tale bat covered wrought-iron gate that we'd seen in a children's ABC book about Maine. (He's under K, by the way.)
It all seemed a go. My cousin told us his house was on the hill up from Bangor, and since we were moving uphill at about 55 mph on Ohio Street, we were surely on the right path. That is, until we drove far into the countryside where the scenery turns from beautiful, well-preserved Maine homes to those of the trailer variety, and realized, Stephen King would not live out here.
Back we went. Down the hill, past the seminary, my daughter calling my son at home to have him Google King's address. Number one listing, Stephen E. King, age 60-64, wife, uh, Tab-ee-tha? Yep, that's the one. Now, MapQuest: 47 West Broadway. Got it. Off to Broadway. Go south until the street changes to State. Turn around in industrial area, go north, back to houses, each time, stopping every few feet for some of the longest lights I've ever experienced. House numbers go up to 890 before we quit. Turn around, getting hungry by now. Call Ben back. He has Emily turning the map this way and that, telling us to hold one hand at a northeast angle, then crossing the other at 90 degrees. Look for Cedar. See Hammond Park? We try. No park. No Cedar. Gosh I'm hungry.
Finally, we stop at a gas station. We are on the wrong Broadway. Two exits south on I-95, exit Union, go south, past Bangor Theological Seminary, just two blocks, go right, and yes, there is his house, bat gate and all. We are currently four blocks from where we exited Route 1A in the beginning, two hours ago. He was right here all along, not sequestered in a gated community on the outskirts of town, hidden away from obnoxious fans such as ourselves, but living in a beautiful, but not ostentatious, house, right smack dab in the middle of an ordinary neighborhood, probably making tea and plotting his next novel while we tramped all over Bangor proper hunting him down.
As a believer, I usually try to find God the same way I tried to find Stephen King. I listen to this person or that person, read a few books, wildly guessing which way He might be. I veer south, don't find Him, so veer north, head up hills into the hinterlands, come up empty, go back down, dial in for rescue, getting hungrier all the time. Finally, in frustration and only as a last resort, I ask for help, get directions, follow the road, and realize He was right there all along. In fact, I passed Him several times in my frenetic traipsing around town. When I finally locate Him, I recognize Him at once. He is just as some said He was and nothing like others claimed. Unpretentious, breath-taking, accessible, living amongst ordinary people, His gate not barred from hungry believers like me, but, on the contrary, swung wide, wide open.

Auburn, AL (SportsNetwork.com) - The 21st-ranked Missouri Tigers are still in
search of their first SEC win of the season, as they take on the Auburn Tigers
on the road at Auburn Arena Saturday afternoon.
Frank Haith's third season in Columbia has been another successful campaign to
this point. The Tigers are off to a 12-2 overall record, although Missouri
enters this contest off a shocking 70-64 overtime loss at home to Georgia in
the SEC opener earlier this week, ending a 26-game homecourt winning streak.
It's been a tale of two seasons for Tony Barbee's Tigers, who are 8-4 overall.
All eight wins have come at home (8-1), while the team is winless outside of
Auburn Arena. Auburn opened its SEC slate at Ole Miss on Thursday, dropping a
65-62 decision to the Rebels.
These two teams met for the very first time last season, a 91-77 Missouri
victory in Columbia.
Missouri has been highly efficient this season, shooting .481 from the floor
overall, while averaging 75.4 ppg. The team enjoys a +7.6 rebounding
advantage, but that has been offset a bit by a -2.1 turnover margin. Jordan
Clarkson and Jabari Brown fuel the Missouri attack, as each shoots .479 from
the field, while filling up the basket to the tune of 18.8 and 18.4 ppg,
respectively. Earnest Ross also has a double-digit scoring average at 14.1
The Tigers were uncharacteristically off the mark offensively against Georgia,
struggling for stretches of the game to generate points. Brown led the way
with 19 points on 6-of-13 shooting. Ross added 15 points to the cause while
Clarkson finished with 12. However, the remainder of the roster added just 18
points combined in the loss.
A potent one-two punch is not proprietary to only the Missouri roster. Auburn
has a tandem to match in the form of Chris Denson and KT Harrell. Both players
are shooting just under 50 percent from the floor, with Denson pacing the SEC
at 19.8 ppg. Harrell isn't far behind, ranked fifth in the league at 18.7 ppg.
The real problem for Auburn is that the scoring pool almost evaporates after
that, as Tahj Shamsid-Deen is third on the team with a mere 7.8 ppg.
Auburn played well in Oxford to make a game of it against the Rebels,
especially considering the team's 18 turnovers. The loss spoiled a strong
performance by Denson, who finished with a game-high 28 points. Like in most
cases, Harrell was the only other Tiger to make a significant contribution at
the offensive end, posting 11 points. Auburn held a 40-30 edge in rebounding,
but shot just .398 from the floor in the setback.

Love it or hate it, an organized laundry room makes doing the wash less onerous. Our breakdown of what you need and where it goes will get your space humming.
The tasks
Place a hamper in each person's closet, or a laundry bag on the back of each bedroom door. For a small family, think about having just one central container.
Choose hampers that can double as easy-to-carry laundry baskets.
Put a container for dry clean-only items near the front door if it can be stored discreetly.
Set up three containers – one for lights, one for darks, and one for delicates and hand-washables – near the washer. Container options include plastic tubs on casters, hampers or attractive baskets for under the bottom shelf of a floor-to-ceiling shelving unit, or labelled laundry bags that hang on the wall or on a unit.
Consider a standard washer and dryer; space-saving stacked units; or front-loading ones, above which you can install a convenient folding surface.
Use easy-to-reach shelves (or a locked cabinet if you have small children) for detergent and other frequently used items.
Post care-label instructions over the machine, along with stain removal charts.
Keep one or two small plastic tubs for handwashing.
On a shelving unit, stock clear jars for storing clothes pegs, loose change and special soaps; rags for mopping up spills; mesh bags for delicates; and a container for small bottles of stain removers and related tools.

Shipping and packing party at sweet maria's
So we survived the holidays, and the S.M. crew did a pretty amazing job turning around orders. Last year we fell behind by 24 hours or so getting orders out, but this year we had days we were sending off orders placed that very morning. We always do the best we can, but now we face the backlog of orders than came in during vacation. So please be patient. We are shipping 'em out in the order they came in, and will be back to our normal 24 hour turn-around by next week. -Tom (P.S. - I have a new Sumatra and the end of our Costa Rica La Minita allotment coming early next week)
Your crew did a GREAT job

Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine" continues the auteur's recent rebound to levels similar to his heyday in the 1970s and 80s. His fifth consecutive release from Sony Pictures Classics scored his career-best best opening results (beating "Midnight in Paris") with a six-theater, three-day total of over $600,000. This number is a record for the June-August period for any live-action limited release.
Coming alongside the ongoing success for "Fruitvale Station" and "The Way, Way Back" as they expand successfully while still in their first month of release, the late summer surge in specialized film follows a specialty box office drought since both "Mud" and "The Place Beyond the Pines" topped $20 million.
With the top three films dominating the action this weekend, a handful of limited releases (including three documentaries) show strength at varying stages of release: Radius/Weinstein's doc "20 Feet from Stardom" continues to be the standout.
"Blue Jasmine" (Sony Pictures Classics) - Criticwire: A-; Cinemascore: 76
$102,167 in 6 theaters; PSA (per screen average): $102,167
Not only does Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine" mark the best limited opening of 2013, but it's among the best of all time (even better as it's playing at six theaters, more than usual for an initially specialized release). "Blue Jasmine" hit the box office bullseye even though it veers from the lighter tone of Allen's recent work. With an estimated gross that is better than his successful "Midnight in Paris" (ultimately a $56 million domestic grosser and significant Oscar contender), these initial results suggest a significant future for this film.
For one of the rare times in limited initial release, SPC's theaters include one in Brooklyn (Manhattan-only is the usual pattern), with the BAM Theater joining three other high-end theaters in New York and two in Los Angeles. (The BAM add-on comes after lead actress Cate Blanchett -- who takes a clear lead role unlike most of Allen's recent ensemble films -- scored a recent stage success there with "A Streetcar Named Desire.")
Her acclaim, which makes her the strongest best actress candidate among films released so far this year, is a strong force in driving these numbers. Blanchett boasts a stellar film career -- eight films with grosses over $100 million domestically, although she didn't carry most of them. This film marks her first limited release as a lead or co-lead since her Oscar-nominated "Notes on a Scandal" in 2006. Curiously, for his great reputation as a director of actresses, only two in Woody Allen films have ever been nominated in lead: Diane Keaton, who won for "Annie Hall" in 1977, and Geraldine Page, for "Interiors" in 1978.
What comes next: SPC plans to move in their typical slow rollout ("Midnight in Paris" and their more recent "Before Midnight" both hit an unusually large 900 screens by week four), with San Francisco, Chicago and Washington scheduled for next week. With a long time frame heading toward awards and potentially strong audience reaction, but also not a wide range of other adult-oriented films out there, it would make sense for SPC to widen this fairly quickly, but they could choose to sustain longer runs and increased awareness by trying to keep this playing beyond the summer.

UltraViolet Water Filter Lamp Replacements
Get improved taste and clarity from just about every faucet around the house with a new water filter UV lamp.
Replacing your UV Lamp:
You're UV lamp is the heart and soul of your UV water purifier system How often it needs replacing depends on the power of the UV lamp, the application, and the time the lamp is operating. A continuously run UV water filter lamp will provide enough kill intensity for 8,500 to 9,000 hours, before losing its effect. In other word, it's recommended that you replace your UV lamps once every year.
Below you'll find over a dozen UV replacement lamps with a range of filter life's at a variety of price ranges, to fit any family or business' budget. In addition to replacing your UV lamps once a year, it's also recommended to clean your UV quartz sleeve every 4 to 6 months.
Note: Just because your UV lamp is burning brightly after 9,000 hours doesn't mean it will continue to kill contaminants in your water. The UV lamplight will burn brightly long after its UV intensity becomes too weak to kill waterborne contaminants, so it's important to replace your UV lamplight on a yearly basis.

Anyone who has a pet knows that they bring a priceless amount of love to your home. Unfortunately, everything else associated with owning an animal comes with a price…and often a hefty one.
At Friends of Noah-WI, we make sure that every animal we adopt is cared for and ready to fit right into their new home. But, many of the animals that come to us need significant care to nurse them back to health and prepare them for adoption. That can include shots, veterinary care, food, medicine and any number of items that can bring significant cost to the organization.
Every dollar helps
We would appreciate any amount of donation you can make to help fund our mission to give every stray or abandoned animal a loving home. You can make a one-time donation, or you can establish a regular monthly donation to be automatically deducted from your paypal account. Please donate today.

defending Republican vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan's budget plan and extremist agenda, which Murphy called devastating to seniors and the middle class.
Grimm, said Murphy, supports Ryan's plan to eliminate Medicare as we know it, replacing it with a voucher system that would hit seniors with skyrocketing cost increases; and embraces Ryan's efforts to create tax breaks for wealthiest 1% while raising taxes on the middle class.
Like Ryan, he said, Grimm works for the wealthy special interests and votes for middle class-destroying policies that would make it harder for seniors to get health care.
Although Grimm's constituents have aggressively challenged his support of the Ryan plan, including ending Medicare, Murphy said, Grimm has stood firm, rejecting the priorities of his own constituents and refusing to represent them in Washington.
In a statement after the debate on Thursday, October 11, Murphy said it had shown how dangerous and extreme Paul Ryan's views really are.
No matter how hard they try, Murphy said, Grimm and Ryan can't explain how they will fund their Medicare plan without seniors paying thousands of dollars more each year.

London's most notorious rogue - decadent, depraved, forbidden:
The ladies of the town won't stop whispering about deliciously wicked Jack Dodger - once a thieving street urchin, now the wealthy owner of London's most exclusive gentleman's club. There's no pleasure he hasn't enjoyed, no debauchery the handsome scoundrel won't provide for the lords who flock to his house of carnal intrigue.
London's most virtuous lady - honorable, uncorrupted, and all too human:
Olivia, Duchess of Lovingdon, would never associate with such a rogue. So when Jack is named sole heir to the duke's personal possessions, the beautiful, well-bred lady is outraged. Now, Olivia is forced to share her beloved home with this despicable man.
But Olivia's icy disdain is no match for Jack's dangerous charm. His touch awakens desire. His kiss demands surrender. She will struggle to bar Jack from her heart....but her body, coveting divine release, will not let her bar him from her bed.
©2009 Jan Nowasky (P)2012 HarperCollinsPublishers
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"The first historical romance I've really enjoyed"
STORY (historical romance) - I like contemporary romances much better than historical ones, but this one is actually pretty good. It has the usual issue -- someone from the upper class falls for someone from the lower -- but this book has a lot of other stuff going on that makes it much better. Olivia is an English Dutchess whose husband has just died, and Jack is a scoundrel. They've been thrown together in a most unusual way, and they end up living in the same house and Jack is appointed to be guardian for Olivia's son.
Needless to say, they end up having the hots for each other. I subtracted a star from this book primarily because I got sick and tired of them constantly thinking about each other and trying to analyze their feelings and what they should do about them. Enough!!!! But nevertheless, the story is good and their feelings for each other become genuine. The author has a talent for writing very hot scenes in a unique way that has great tenderness and also maintains an element of class.
PERFORMANCE - I love Susan Ericksen from the In Death series, and she continues to deliver. Her voice lends itself to portray men and women nicely, and her natural English accent is lovely. She doesn't distinguish much between characters but does some pretty good cockney accents and the voice of a young boy.
OVERALL - This is Book 2 in the series, but it's the first I've listened to. I can't comment on its relation to the rest of the series, but it can stand completely on its own. There's no profanity, but there is lots of thinking about sex and also some pretty explicit sexual acts. Recommended for mature females only. Definitely not for guys.
Never judge a book by its movie
"It's sick how good this series is"
Oliver Twist on Steroids ( ok that's 4 words)
The relationship between Jack Dodger an the Duchess' son Henry. ( it's so sweet)
Consider Yourself one of the Family!!
Listening to book 3 can't wait to get to book 4.
Audiobooks Change Tasks To Unlimited Adventures! Love Historical/Insp. Romances & Random Sale Genres. Reviews Shouldn't Contain Spoilers ;-)
"Wonderful addition to the series"
I enjoyed this second book in the series. The characters continue from book one and are so well developed I found myself totally involved....again. It is really difficult to stop listening mostly because of the hardships they've endured and how they overcome them. The love story just develops naturally....not something far-fetched or predictable. I highly recommend this series.
I love books! Audiobooks take stories to the next level. I'm obsessed with Audible and will try to rate all of my books. Happy Listening! ;)
"Heath does it again! Devilishly good!"
This book had great plot points! All that I thought would happen ended up being completely different by the end of the book. I love how Lorraine Heath slowly develops attraction into powerful love. And her characters grow and change so much throughout the story. It was a journey into healing your heart and finding happiness. I highly recommend this four star historical romance.
Narration: Susan Ericksen is consistently good. She's great with historical romances. Good accents, marked differences between characters and added emotions to the story. I don't particularly like male narrators but Antony Ferguson did a good job as well. His narration was minimal (only for some journal entries) and for me it was like a cherry on top of your sundae... A sweet addition.
Busy mom who loves to read but doesn't always have the time. I enjoy YA, Romance and the occasional Best Seller.
"I can't believe I liked it"
Much like the first book in this series I thought the narration was a little too boring. (no real differences with male/female voices) Despite my lack of interest in the narrator I really did enjoy this book. It's a decent romance and I really have no complaints about the overall story. If you liked the first book or enjoy historical romance then you will enjoy this one too. Overall it was worth a credit, but I'm glad I got it on sale instead.
"Mixed Feelings - But Still Worth The Listen!"
Since I'm now in love with the world Lorraine Heath has built for the Scoundrels of St James, I will say I'm pleased with this listen. As far as the female lead, I have to say I wasn't much for her. I didn't really feel the spark between her and Jack like I did with Catherine and Luke in the first book, and I feel like Jack deserved a better woman. As far as Jacks story, WOW!! He may end up being my favorite scoundrel out of them all, and that's a big step for me since I was pretty upset with him for decisions he made regarding Luke in the last book.
Narration was good, but as I felt with the first book, there needs to me more variation between characters voices. Jacks kind of sounds like Luke, Luke kind of sounds like Graves, Catherine and Olivia are similar... Aside from that, no one can ever accuse Susan Ericksen of not bringing spunk and personality to each character. Antony Ferguson is still a weird choice, but as in the last book he only speaks for a few minutes here and there.
Stick with this one, even if you're not loving it as much as the first. Both Jacks story and how you see him by the end is really wonderful.
"Easy listening"
Not my favorite of the series but enjoyable nonetheless. A bit slow in places but good for relaxing to cooking or in the car
I love books and love to get lost in the fantasy. I'm always looking for a new good story to bury myself in. :)
"Very good continuation of the series :)"
4 stars
This was a very good story. I liked Olivia from the start. Jack acted like a real jerk for the first part of the story but he did grow on me and I liked him as well by the end of the story.
Olivia is the widow of a Duke with a 5 years old son who is heir to the title. She grew up being the dutiful daughter and her father married off a much older man (one of his friends) but she wasn't much more than a broodmare for the Duke to get an heir with and then pretty much ignore until his death (making her wonder if maybe she shouldn't have been so dutiful). Now she doesn't intend to re-marry unless it's for love.
Jack was born in one of the poorer sections of London. He didn't have a good life or parents that cared about him so he ended up in a group of child thieves, stealing to survive and protecting the younger kids as much as he was able. Jack got an unexpected windfall when he was younger and used it to open a "Gentleman's club" where the rich men of London can go to gamble and have contact with loose women. Jack has grown rich from his business but is always looking for ways to get more money.
When the story begins, Olivia's husband has just died. She's waiting for the reading of the will but is shocked and confused as to why the infamous Jack Dodger is there as well. The attorney makes it clear that it's a requirement of the will that they both be there. He then reads out a will that gives Jack just about all the property that isn't "entailed" as part of the titled holdings being saved for the heir, Henry, to come of age. All Jack has to do to get these riches is to agree to be guardian of Henry until he grows up of Olivia remarries. Jack isn't sure why this Duke would ask him of all people to be guardian of his son. Jack met him a few times but didn't know the man but the large amount of wealth being offered makes Jack consider the offer. Olivia is shocked and angry about the will and thinks her husband must have gone mad to do this not to mention that fact that he pretty much slighted Olivia in the will...leaving her just enough to live off of comfortably but much less than what most would consider right. Jack finds Olivia's anger fun and decides to increase his enjoyment by doing everything in his power to piss Olivia off, as if everything that's happened isn't enough and Olivia needs more stress to deal with. Jack doesn't care about anyone but himself though and goes about doing everything he can to make her life miserable.
Olivia is horrified by the fact that Jack is her son's guardian and now owns the home they live in. She wants to leave but can't "legally" take her son away because Jack's his guardian. TBH, I think Olivia's late husband should have been ashamed of himself for what he put her through (Both before and after his death) and I can totally understand her being horrified by her circumstance because Jack goes out of his way to behave like a beast to her. Olivia does realize pretty quickly that Jack might not be such a bad guardian after all (after getting rid of a secretly bad nanny and getting Henry a puppy). She starts to accept Jack more and tries to make peace but it doesn't come right away because Jack takes great pleasure in torturing her. After a while though (and an unexpected sickness), the walls come down between Jack and Olivia. They start to respect each other and the attraction that was buried is now coming out in full force for them both. They do try to resist the attraction but this doesn't succeed for long. Jack was intending to marry Olivia off so he could get out of the agreement ASAP but as they continue to see each other, those plans don't seem like such a good idea any more. As Jack and Olivia are trying to figure their relationship out there's another twist that comes in to the plot that brings a bit of danger/suspense with it. Olivia and Jack go through a bit of difficulties but come through it alright and they start their HEA.
I enjoyed this story very much. I liked how Jack and Olivia came together and was happy for them once they worked things out. In the beginning of the story, Jack's actions and attitude just pissed me off but that did stop and it was probably my main complaint about the book. Outside of Jack's early attitude I liked the book and am glad I read it. I'm planning to read the next book in the series. I'd recommend this story. Thumbs up. :)
"Not much substance"
Story was too slow. I had to skip chapters just to get to the main plot..as one of the readers said most of the story was just argue, argue, argue...
I am a lover of books. I enjoy losing myself in a fabulous romance and great story plot.
"Yay! It's Jack's story!--Be Still My Heart!"
Jack is a mystery, AND dangerously delicious, AND savvy AND uniquely stylish…
I could just keep going, but the gist is that I think Jack is really appealing. So, after listening to about 20%, I skipped to about midway to jump to the nitty gritty of his relationship to the lovely duchess Olivia. Even though I got immediate gratification, it was nice to slowly listen to the complete book again.
Out of Feagan's lads, Jack is the most secretive and cunning of the bunch and yet he plays a vital role in the previous books as he helps his friends when they're in trouble (I've read the 1st book & 3rd book already).
One of the aspects I loved about this book is that the reader is invited to enter the labyrinth of psychological presses and motives that move the Leads forward. Jack is complicated because his life has been complicated. This book reveals the traumatic events that are responsible for creating the dichotomous person that Jack is. He is so giving, and takes boys off of the streets by providing them with employment and protects them. Yet, the other side of the coin (pun intended :-), is that Jack invests too much value in the absolute love and need for money, and lots of it.
So when Jack is named sole heir to a duke's personal possessions, and is appointed the guardian of the young, Duke Henry (I believe he's 4 or 5 years old), the beautiful, and well-bred lady Olivia (Henry's mother) is outraged. Olivia is forced to accept Jack into her home as the overseer of her most prized possession, her beloved son Henry.
The romance between Olivia and Jack is nicely paced. It was so touching when they both finally come together…the moments of indulgent romance are great. Both Olivia and Jack grow personally in this book and fulfill a need for intimacy, trust and healing in each other. The cat and mouse games they play were so cute and funny at the beginning of their relationship. And, the moments in which they bear their souls to one another was just so touching.
As always…I loved the camaraderie between the gang (Jack, Luke, Jim, Bill and Frannie). I especially enjoyed Jack's conversations with Frannie (I'm such a Frannie fan) and I felt as though he understood and "saw" her more clearly than the rest of Feagan's lad did. I thought his close relationship to Feagan was really nice and sentimental. Jack still looked out and cared for Feagan.
There are many shocking details and surprises in this book. There are heavy themes that are tragic and dark. Yet, perhaps the greatest theme is how life can sometimes balance the tragedies of childhood, by unlocking the weightiest and mot beautiful gift of all…..LOVE. And, Olivia and Jack most certainly find it.
I thought the narrator was good. Enjoyed her performance.

Wildfires across the region are impacting air quality.
Most recent reports show air quality is "good" across the board in West Yellowstone.
Short-term exposure is listed as "good" in Butte and in Bozeman. But in the long-term, between 8 and 24 hours is listed between "moderate" and "unhealthy for sensitive groups."
Paul Riley works for the Butte-Silver Bow Health Department. It's his job to follow air quality in the Mining City.
He explained that so far this season, folks in Butte have been pretty lucky.
"We had a couple hours yesterday where it got into the moderate category," Riley explained, "but for the most part it's been pretty good."
He explained that folks really need to watch when air quality reaches "unhealthy for sensitive groups," mostly people who might have asthma, young children, or the elderly.
All the way to "hazardous" air quality, when everyone should avoid outdoor activity.
"Living at 5,600 feet is as difficult as it is," Riley said, "and throwing smoke into it makes it that much more difficult."
Despite the hazy skies, the air quality in Butte is considered "good" on Thursday, but experts at the Health Department said that could change in a matter of hours.
"We know what to watch for and we will be vigilant on making sure our residents are taken care of," said Marti Burke, the Assistant Director of Nursing at Crest Nursing Home.
Burke said they pay close attention to each patients' conditions and watch for signs of change.
"it aggravates your elderly because they have chronic conditions, such as lung disease, so that would just be exacerbated," she explained. "If the fires continue to burn and the winds shift, and we have all the smoke just sitting here, we could have an increase."
The Health Department also explained you can often tell the quality of the air by the visibility. If you can see thirteen or more miles in the distance, it is considered "good."
In contrast, in "hazardous" conditions, visibility is as little as 1.3 miles.

Mixed Company™
Mixed Company is written by Saint Paul Sunday staff, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the show and the classical music they love. We welcome your online comments.
May 18, 2005
There's no place like home...
For me, one line really stands out about this Saint Paul Sunday program with the Takàcs Quartet, of which two members are Hungarian: right before playing the piece by Béla Bartók, a Hungarian composer, one of the musicians said that the melody really reminds him of home. At that moment, playing a movement from Bartók's String Quartet No. 6, he felt homesick for Hungary. It reminded me what personal meaning a piece of music can carry, even if it's something the composer never imagined. It also reminded me that being a professional musician is not easy.
When I tried to think of a piece of music that really reminded me of home, I realized I've never been out of the country long enough to be that homesick. I do remember, though, listening to Ravel's string quartet while I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed the woodwork in my first apartment. What piece of music, or even type of music, reminds you of home?
Posted by Suzanne Schaffer at May 18, 2005 09:13 AM
The Takacs Q is the only one of the world's great quartets that I have not heard live. It was wonderful to hear them in your studio. Just absolutely beautiful playing.
However, I have two comments. One of the members indicated that they recorded Beethoven's Op. 59
first because they wanted to make a "bold statment". The comment begged for a follow-up question: Bold? How? Their playing of Op. 95 fell well within the realm of how I've heard it played countless times.
Second, the micing (sp?) of the quartet made it sound as if they were playing in 55 gallon drum, particularly during the first piece. (Lots of echo.) Perhaps this could be avoided in the future.

Hi John,
Thanks for the observations; we'll keep them in mind. How did Takacs make it on your list of "world's great quartets"? What are some of the qualifications?
By Suzanne Schaffer at May 23, 2005 11:08 AM
That's a very good question, and it really goes to the heart of music making--whether in jazz or classical playing.
What makes a great Q is much different from that which makes a great orchestra--the conditions of playing are so different, they outweigh the similarities.
What makes for a great quartet is not simply technical brilliance (though that's a requirement) but the melodic whole they create through the harmony of playing together. It's an amalgam similar to great poetry, but in this case four "poets" aim to speak in one voice.
Interpretaion, harmony, balance, and technical brilliance; these combined are the necessary elements in making a great quartet.
If technical brilliance alone were enough, then the Emerson Q would be the world's greatest existing Q. However, they lack a greater whole through deficits of harmony and (for lack of a better word) "touch".
My opinion is that the three greatest existing quartets are: the Borodin, the Guarneri, and the Tokyo.
The original Budapest Q gets my vote for the all time best.
