Our attitude is spirited and always on the edge. That's because we take full advantage of the freedom that lies within our voices. Add our inspired creativity, a rock-solid band, and a passion for entertaining and you have the secret behind our ongoing musical evolution. Our path has seen us move from an oratorio choir from our start in the 1950's to the creative purveyors of popular music that we are today.
Past Concerts
MixTape: Live! was a blast to the past where relationships were forged and music was exchanged through the cassette tape, designed by … you! The mixtape phenomenon influenced the ability for listeners to pick and choose the music they wanted from any album, record it, and then play it back as a 'mix'. The tapes were given to friends initially, then played in clubs, and eventually influenced the modern day version called the PlayList. Revv52 built its own mixtape for our four shows at the Bella Concert Hall, featuring artists as varied as Michael Jackson/Lake Street Dive, Sly and the Family Stone, Wings, Prince, Ellie Goulding, and many others. We also had a fun time with the audience, bringing in some cell-phone voting technology to allow them to select which songs they wanted us to sing from a group of five selections.
Vinyl Spin! was a great follow-on to the MixTape concerts by presenting some of the finest cuts from the best vinyl records in our collection. We introduced the show with DJ C-SIK, the Canadian Red Bull champion who showed off his talents and created a great context for how vinyl is used in the club scene today. Then, out came the hits from the likes of The Guess Who, Adele, The Beatles, Arcade Fire, Bob Dylan, and Canada's iconic Tragically Hip. Recognize some of these artists? Many are Canadian. We feel strongly that Canada's elite talent can compare with anyone worldwide, so we presented our program with that twist. Great Canadian artists, alongside amazing international artists. Happy 150th, Canada!
Revv52: California was performed at the River Park Auditorium from June 2-4, 2016. Four shows were sold-out as we led the 500-strong audience through the musical colours of the sunshine state. Our band provided an incredible rhythm bed for some classic California songs from The Monkees, The Beach Boys, Cheryl Crow, Michael Jackson, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Eagles, and many more. The crowd loved the custom arrangements of some of the more popular songs, a new spin on some classics tunes.
Carnegie Hall: Revv52 participated in Deke Sharon's Total Vocal in March, 2016. We performed 8 songs with a-cappella groups from across North America in one large chorus of voices that filled the sold-out legendary concert hall. Revv52 was chosen from these groups to sing its own performance of the classic Sound of Silence, leveraging the unique acoustic design of Carnegie Hall with a large dynamic range. Plus, we got to see New York with all of our friends!
Revv52 Unplugged: The Road to Carnegie Hall was performed January 21-23, 2016 at the beautiful new Bella Concert Hall at Mount Royal University in front of over 2600 audience members through four performances. We explored the music that is iconic to New York, from Duke Ellington to Cyndi Lauper to Billy Joel and we did so with a twist: more than half of the selections were sung a cappella. The incredible sound of the Bella provided our audience with rich harmonies from fantastic arrangements by Deke Sharon, as a prelude to our performance at Carnegie Hall in March 2016.
The big, fat sounds of the 1970's Phil Spector Wall of Sound and the power of the backup singer from the movie 20 Feet from Stardom inspired us to create a multi-decade show: Inside the Wall of Sound. Layers of instruments coupled with layers of voices, all through custom arrangements from our band, brought familiar songs to life. We introduced a new stage format that had unobstructed views of the stage, and sold out the shows with the highest attendance on record.
We swung to a different approach for our spring show, bringing the popular call-and-response style back in our Gospel Revvolution shows. From the roots of some of the best gospel classics, to modern gospel by Kirk Frankin, to popular music by Elton John and Van Morrison that used the call-and-response feel in their music. The audience was delighted and musically we felt it was our best show – ever.
We hit the ground running in September 2013 with a whole new concept – sing about our native country, Canada! The treasure trove of great rock 'n roll songs from the last five decades of Canadian artists reads like a who's who of our music industry. We began with the singer songwriters and bands that led the way in terms of energy, in-your-face arrangements and classic styles. Groups like The Guess Who, BTO, The Sam Roberts Band and Chilliwack along with artists like Tegan & Sara, Gordon Lightfoot and Feist powered our first shows in January 2014.
From there, we ventured further with the bands that added more power through more elaborate orchestrations: groups like Lighthouse and Blood, Sweat & Tears and artists like Leonard Cohen and, kd lang and Michael Buble. The capacity crowds for both shows loved the intimate setting of River Park, and the intimacy of the venue allowed our audience to feel the wall of sound and tender moments of the show.
This year the performance ensemble celebrated its 60th year with the music of Memphis – the Blues, Soul, Rock, Rockabilly and Gospel. The call and response in the music is alive in each of these styles. It's the music of the Million Dollar Quartet (Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins) and Stax recording artists Otis Redding, the Staple Singers, Booker T and the MG's, Al Green, Isaac Hayes and Wilson Pickett.
Memphis is the city where more music has been written about than any other city in the world. The southern dialect, fried chicken and sweet potato pie of soul food, the slow cooked BBQ, the 100 degree heat of summer – are all part of the gumbo mix of music that identifies Memphis. The sites of Memphis – Graceland, Beale Street, Stax and Sun Records, Soul and Rock and Blues museums, the civil rights museum, civil war monuments and historical havens for slaves – flavor the music as well.
Revv52 responded to our growing fan base by offering a 3rd show at each of our winter and spring concerts – with sellouts at all of the shows! We also participated in a Blues & Rock festival in the fall with a 10-song set that was very exciting! Our familiar band was jacked up with the addition of Nicolai Drost on drums and percussion, alongside familiar faces Steve Pineo on guitar, Kit Johnson on bass and our own Trevor Waters on piano/keyboards.
It was the music from Greenwich Village New York, the heart of New York City's bustling music district and the heart of the folk generation in the 1960's and early 1970's. Dylan, Diamond, Mitchell, Simon & Garfunkel were some of the solo artists and duo's that cut their teeth here and got their start. The big groups came next: the Mama's and the Papa's, Crosby Stills & Nash, Jefferson Airplane and the Lovin' Spoonful. Every year, another dozen hits that are being heard by young and older generations alike, because the music was sensational.
The first concerts in January started with the music of the early 1960's, with a story about songwriting and performing in small cafes in the Village told by our own members. Two nights, two sold out audiences of over 800 each night warming up the cold Calgary nights. Then onto the bus and a quick trip to Edmonton for an appearance to a new audience, with the same response. What great fans we have! Thank you for braving the cold!
The second concerts were warmer, and the heat inside was turned up high with more stories of the Village as it matured and became the songwriting capital of the world. Artists and groups were portrayed with an emphasis on a little wilder side. Again, sold out audiences both nights with great energy and joy throughout the night.
Kudos to Kit, Steve, Nathan and Trevor in the band; John, Colin, Aaron and the whole video crew. Kudos plus to our Producer Murray Ord, whose patience and experience made this our best set of shows yet.
We began our year by looking forward to what we want to be: a great singing group in Canada with a promise to our audience of raising their energy and hope for the future. We moved into some new territory with our first concert in January called "Sonochromatic: the Color of Sound". We worked on body percussion, vocal instrumentation and other techniques – we even created an indoor rainstorm before one of our songs! The evening ended with a tribute to the victims of the Haiti earthquake disaster with the singing of 'We are the World', raising over $5,000 from the audience.
In the spring, we took one of the bigger risks in our history: to perform two concerts, on two back-to-back nights, with two professional musicians. We chose to work with newcomer and Juno nominee Meaghan Smith, and veteran musician and Juno winner Jimmy Rankin, for the two shows. Revv52 sang 7 different songs each night, the artists performed their own selection of 7 songs, and we sang 5 different songs together – all arranged specifically for the event. The toughest challenge: to perform live on stage after only one rehearsal! We pulled it off and managed to learn more about preparation and focus, discipline and creativity – all at the same time!
We focused on the contributions of the great piano singer-songwriters with our first concert in January called "Key Change", hosted by Doug McKeag. Great songs by Billy Joel, Elton John and Carole King (among many others) were performed to packed houses over two nights. The Elton John anthem "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" concluded the night, with our four-piece band playing on until the last audience member had departed.
In the spring, we celebrated some of the great songs we had sung as a group over the last ten years – a revival, if you will, of our history as we looked forward towards the future. Again, over two nights to packed houses, we sang great songs from Motown, anthems of hope, some great gospel songs like "Sinner Man" and many others. The audience left with a little extra lift in their steps, a promise we make every concert.
"Dock of the Bay," "Stand by Me" and "Shining Star" are just a few of the songs that warm the spirits of our audience on two January nights. Breaking with tradition once again, our I Feel Good, the Soul of Pop, concert is "led" by great blues artist Tim Williams rather than a master of ceremonies. Joined by some of Calgary's finest musicians, we melt the winter nights away with hot tunes and fun times.
There's a common thread that winds its way through our eclectic musical path and that's a pure passion for what we do. Our zeal translates into the energy you experience at any Revv52 performance. In 2008 we change our name to capture that energy combining the word Revv with our founding year. The name keeps us in tune with our past and echoes our plans for a dynamic future.
Take a four-piece rock band and the sheer power of a 60-voice choir. Now add songs like "Let it Be," "Help Me Rhonda,"and "God Only Knows." We do all of this and more for our spring 2008 concert aptly named You Say You want a Revvolution: Impressions of the Beatles and the Beach Boys. It's the first time we take our new name out for a spin and audiences are not disappointed.
Pushing the boundaries of choral music once again, we collaborate with local actors Onalea Gilbertson and Doug McKeag, developing an integrated performance that interplays vocal arts with theatre. Listen to the Music, follows a son's roadtrip to his father's milestone birthday and family reunion. We play the "radio" providing a musical backdrop for the trip. Involving comprehensive stage management, lighting, live music and a hilarious script, the concert is another significant leap forward in our evolution. We present a high quality, original performance unseen anywhere else in Canada.
We venture further, producing a series dedicated to the great sounds and rhythms of MOTOWN. Building on success, we partner with Johnny Summers once again and other local jazz sensations. We also release our first studio-quality CD featuring MOTOWN favourites and bonus tracks from our concerts of the past three years.
Collaborating with local jazz sensation Johnny Summers, we present a passionate, energetic tribute to the life of Ray Charles in the Jack Singer Concert Hall at the EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts. The result: our first sellout concert in Calgary's foremost concert hall.
We release our second CD entitled Encore Live, featuring excerpts from two of our concerts including a successful mix of world, gospel, and popular music. We're happy with the recording and so are our audiences. We are sold out of copies in no time.
We celebrate our 50th anniversary in fine fashion with our Rhythms of Life concert (December 2002) and Canadian Roots concert (May 2003). We're clearly moving further away from other choirs, surprising audiences with our repertoire, quality and willingness to take creative risks.
We release our first compact disc (CD) recording, entitled Gospel Celebration featuring our live concert of Gospel Greats and introducing Raghav, now a major recording artist in the United Kingdom.
Current Artistic Director, Brian Farrell joins our group and we begin singing "off book," performing an eclectic range of material including gospel, celtic, latino, african and new age music. That same year, we honour Stanley Rasmussen for his 43 years as a member of the choir.
One thousand and seventy-five voices come together to perform at the Opening Ceremonies for the Winter Olympic Games held in Calgary. We are 50 of those voices.
James Monro succeeds John Vandenbeld as Artistic Director. We begin to include a few famous Broadway show tunes in our repertoire.
John Vandenbeld is named to succeed William Thorburn as Artistic Director. We are an oratorio choir presenting mostly classical music.
We have a new Artistic Director as Harold Ramsay retires and William Thorburn assumes this leadership role. We are an oratorio choir presenting mostly classical music.
Our performance of the "20th Century Mass" is released as a long-play record. It marks the first of more recordings to come.
We sing Harold Ramsey's arrangement of the "20th Century Mass" at Mount Royal College's convocation ceremonies. We also answer London Records' request and perform the same piece at Wesley United Church.
We're centre stage at the dedication ceremony for Calgary's Jubilee Auditorium, performing Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony accompanied by the Calgary Symphony Orchestra.
The Calgary Choral Society is founded and the 190 members, under the direction of Harold Ramsay, Organist and Choirmaster at Wesley United Church, begin to find their collective voice.
Rising to the occasion, our first concert, entitled Merrie England, is held at the Stampede Corral. Accompanied by the Calgary Symphony Orchestra and two soloists from Britain, we did our best to honour Queen Elizabeth's coronation.

Imagine: Oliver Sacks – Tales of Music and the Brain (BBC1)
There can't be many Imagine viewers who aren't familiar with the work of Dr Oliver Sacks, the white bearded neurologist who so vividly brought to life the subtleties and essential humanity of mental illnesses as varied as catatonia, autism and Tourette's syndrome in bestselling books like The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Awakenings.
The latter inspired both an Oscar-nominated performance by Robert de Niro, and a play by Harold Pinter. In his latest work Sacks probes the connections between music and the mind and here Alan Yentob joins him on the journey and meets some of his extraordinary case studies.
Among them is Tony Cicoria, an orthopaedic surgeon who, having never shown interest in music, was seized by an insatiable passion to play the piano after being hit by lightning. He also encounters Matt Giordano, a Tourette's sufferer who has found relief from his tics and involuntary outbursts through playing the drums, and Derek Paravicini, a blind autistic savant with astonishing musical talent.
Not to be outdone, Yentob sets off to do some exploring of his own, offering himself up for an MRI experiment into how his brain function varies while listening to different types of music. Curious as the results are, it is Sack's observations inevitably that are far and away the most memorable here.

Local history buffs and fans of top-notch political chronicles should set aside time to watch "The O'Connell-Corning Years: The Longest Hurrah," a 1987 WMHT production that re-aired on the public broadcasting channel earlier this year and is now available for viewing on WMHT's website.
The program profiles Albany County Democratic Chairman Dan O'Connell and Albany's "Mayor for Life" Erastus Corning II, who together ran city politics for much of the past century. Interviews include former Corning associates including Polly Noonan (grandmother of U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand) and not-yet-Assemblyman Jack McEneny.
Especially fascinating: The account of the controversial 1981 match between a Capital Region rugby team and the Springboks, the South African club that at the time served as an cultural touchstone for apartheid-era Afrikaners.
There's also fantastic archival footage of Albany when it was younger.
O'Connell came to power in 1921 and died at 91 in 1977. Corning ruled Albany for 42 years — longer than any other U.S. mayor – until his death in 1983.

Featured H.A.L. Artist: Eric Leleu
About Featured Series, 696
I arrived in Weihai lu 696 only 1 year ago. And busy as always, i could not get the chance to meet all the artists of 696. So this project was a good chance to get into their space, into their world, into their imagination. That is probably what i preferred in shooting this series, mixing their imagination with mine.
My idea was to shoot the artists in their own studio, with eyes closed:
– to give access to their imagination, like if they are dreaming, we can imagine with their studio around them what is inside their mind, their next work.
– to be a metaphor of the closing of the place, like closing curtains…
If the closing of such a place as 696 happened in France, people would have complained. Maybe even demonstrate… The feeling in Weihai lu 696 today is both resignation, Chinese "mei banfa" but also confidence in the future. Confidence that everyone will find something as good.
About Eric Leleu
Eric Leleu (b. 1979) is a French photographer based in Shanghai since 2005. His work explores the new terrain of digitally composed imagery, and has been exhibited throughout Asia at venues including the Lianzhou Photo Festival, Angkor Photo festival and a solo exhibition at Art Labor gallery in Shanghai. His editorial and commercial clients include Le Monde Magazine, Newsweek, VSD, Casio, Porsche, Arte Television and the Shanghai Art Museum. He was awarded the Nikon prize of the 2009 PHOTO magazine competition.
About Featured Series, C(O)C(O) TV
One morning, as i was going to my studio, i saw my neighbor watching a colorful show on TV, door open. Not before asking, i joined him, sharing his sofa. After one hour of watching intensely, seeing mostly tanks parading on Tiananmen, i asked him if he knew the iconic 1989 black-and-white photo of the "tankman". He answered negatively and i started to realize we were actually not watching the same show even though we were on the same sofa… I then decided to record the TV show with my phone camera to embody this vision.


text: Was Tesco's Terry Leahy really such a great leader? October 28, 2014 In the last few years, even under Terry Leahy, the evidence suggests that Tesco has been in the grip of its venal, compulsive and unprincipled side, which has become intoxicated by greed and success. Under Terry Leahy's leadership Tesco went from strength to strength between 1997 and 2011. The company, and Leahy, were widely admired and feted. Unfortunately the company's current meltdown has been a car crash waiting to happen for a long time, and Leahy bears significant responsibility.

The summer fun continued last week with a visit from my Grandma Wagner, Aunt Carol, and Marsha! They arrived Tuesday evening after visiting Fallingwater (a Frank Lloyd Wright house), which they really enjoyed. I made dinner, and we enjoyed an evening of chatting and catching up. Here is a recap of the rest of the week:
Wednesday: Philly tour! We headed to the Reading Terminal Market for brunch and browsed the vendor booths. Then we headed over to the historic district where we checked out the Liberty Bell, Old City Hall, Independence Hall, Congress Hall, and Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier in Washington Park. It was sooo hot and humid (according to TWC it felt like 105 degrees!), so we took a lot of water breaks and one Dairy Queen break. 🙂 We met Kyle back at the house for dinner. We decided to carry out cheesesteaks and Wawa goodies for dinner since we were pretty pooped from our excursion.
Thursday: Kyle and I had a few baby-related appointments in the morning, so the crew set out for Philly on their own. They went to Elfreth's Alley, Christ Church, and O.C.P. Grill for lunch. I met them at the restaurant, and we toured Betsy Ross's house and checked out several of the art galleries and boutiques on Gallery Row in Old City. Although we had cooler weather, we were still pretty tired, and Grandma had the brilliant idea to take a cab back to Reading Terminal Market. We enjoyed a pretzel from Miller's Pretzel Twist (yum!), and the ladies purchased some goodies and gifts that they had their eye on from our first visit. We then met Kyle back at the house and enjoyed a pretty tasty dinner at Iron Hill Brewery.
Friday: It was a MUCH cooler, cloudier, rainier day, but that didn't stop us! It was actually perfect weather to enjoy Longwood Gardens. This was my first visit to the gardens as well, and I was really impressed! It is over 300 acres of beautiful flowers, plants, fountains, and trees. It was first purchased by the Pierce family from William Penn and later purchased by Pierre duPont (founder of duPont and General Motors) who designed and installed the beautiful fountains. We only were able to see a small portion of the entire grounds in the few hours we were there, and I had lots of fun taking pictures of the beautiful scenery. They have a lights show at night that I will definitely check out in the future. We also enjoyed a yummy lunch in the cafeteria-style restaurant on the grounds. When it started spitting rain, we headed back to the house to meet Kyle. We couldn't let our guests leave without taking them to our favorite Italian restaurant – Fellini's Cafe! After dinner, we strolled the shops around town. Then we headed back to the house so they could get rested up for their long drive on Saturday.
Although I was pretty exhausted Saturday from our excursions and late-night chat sessions, I had such a great time! Kyle and I took it easy the rest of the weekend – caught up on house work and did a little baby-related shopping.
Thanks for coming to visit us! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! 🙂 Here are my pics from the week:

South African contemporary artist Jono Dry specializes in rendering black and white photorealistic-surrealist artworks, usually on a large scale and using graphite on paper or board. One of his pieces, called 'Creation', shows his own hand drawing his mother's hand drawing his hand. Kind of confusing when you describe it, but astounding in realism when you look at it. The pencil even looks like it's popping off the page!
'Fibonacci' is a piece depicting a water splash, which basically took him 280 hours to draw in a five month span. The young artist also loves drawing eyes, as you can see (no pun intended). On his Facebook account he says:
'I love drawing eyes. I used to draw them all the time when I was in school and since I started my Career I seem to have developed a pattern of only drawing one eye a year. This is the 5th Eye'.
'Drawn from my girlfriend's eye. I am fascinated with trying to change my perspective of things. The idea that stuck with me while drawing this was the age old one of what it's like to view the world through someone else's eyes. When I look at this piece I feel like I am taken in through the eye and can just imagine for a second what It might be like to be looking where she is looking'.

I thought I knew a lot about efficient cooking, but some of this info surprised me. It seems that my family is throwing more bucks at the electric company than we might have to. In the spirit of the greening up – yea, it's Spring – here's some great tips for more efficient cooking.
Easy Ways To Save Some Money In The Kitchen
The easiest and most effective way to save money is to use energy-efficient cooking methods. Here's how:
The Stove:
- Make sure you match the size of the pot to the size of the burner. On an electric stove using a 6 inch pot on an 8 inch burner wastes more than 40 percent of the heat from the burner.
- Cover your pots and pans with tight-fitting lids during cooking to keep the heat in. A covered pot comes to a boil more quickly which reduces cooking time, using less energy.
- When you buy pots and pans, look for flat-bottomed cookware that is made out of highly conductive materials like copper or cast iron.
The Oven:
- Ovens are not usually the most efficient way to cook – a microwave is far more efficient (see below).
- Preheating is somewhat prehistoric since many newer ovens heat up very rapidly. Often, preheating is not necessary, although it does depend on the recipe – especially for most baked goods and soufflés.
- Turn the oven off five or ten minutes early, and let dishes finish cooking in the residual heat. (Ditto for food cooked on an electric stove top.).
- Try to keep the oven door shut as much as possible. Every time you open it the temperature drops about 25 degrees.
- Ceramic, glass, and cast iron bakeware retains more heat so things cook more quickly.
- Capitalize on your oven and its heat. Cook more than one thing at a time. If you're cooking something small, use a toaster oven or microwave to save energy – especially if you're reheating.
The Microwave:
- Microwave ovens are a very efficient way to heat and cook food. Cooking energy is reduced by as much as 80 percent when you use your microwave for small portions.
- On average, you can reduce your energy consumption by two-thirds if you cook in the microwave rather than on the stove (even if it's gas). You'll also help keep the kitchen cooler, a bonus in the summer.
The Pressure Cooker:
- Don't forget about pressure cookers. They are also highly efficient.
- Because pressure cookers cook food at a higher temperature, they can reduce cooking time by up to 70 percent and energy consumption by as much as 50 to 75 percent.

Cal, BYU force encore for rugby's Varsity Cup title
Updated 10:42 pm, Saturday, April 26, 2014
In order to earn a rematch with mighty BYU for the championship game of college rugby's Varsity Cup, Cal had to first get by Central Washington in a semifinal game Saturday at Witter Rugby Field.
This was accomplished with stunning dispatch as the Bears ran up a 48-7 halftime lead on the way to a 58-14 final, thus setting up what one Cal player called the "Clash of the Titans" at 1 p.m. next Saturday at Rio Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake City.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Cal captain Seamus Kelly said. "I think they're the best team in the country right now, a real lethal group of athletes. You want to go through the toughest opponent possible to be crowned champion."
BYU ran all over Navy 60-0 in its semifinal on Saturday. This will be the third time since 2011 that Cal and BYU have met for a national championship. The Bears won 21-14 in 2011, and the Cougars prevailed 27-24 in 2013.
With St. Mary's - which scored victories over the Bears and Cougars this season - competing for a separate championship, Cal-BYU is about as good as college rugby gets in the United States. The match - pitting the 18-2 Bears against the 17-1 Cougars - will be on NBC Sports Network.
"Because of the time-zone difference, I did take a peek at them earlier before our game started," Cal coach Jack Clark said. "They were unbelievable. They're such a powerful team with a lot of really strong, mature guys. It's a tall task for us."
Kelly was one of six seniors playing their last game at Witter. He also has obligations with the U.S. national team this summer but for now is focused on BYU. Clark took Kelly out of the game late in the second half so fans could applaud the breadth of his career as one of the best rugby players at Cal in the past half-century.
"It's been a tremendous experience," Kelly said. "I've been fortunate to be part of great teams. I'm really thankful for the opportunity."
Cal wasted no time in taking the game to Central Washington, scoring its first try scarcely three minutes in when Jake Anderson took the ball across and then punched through the conversion kick. All told, Anderson accounted for 28 points on two tries, two penalty kicks and six of eight conversions.
"We definitely expected it to be a closer score than it was," Anderson said. "They're a bit of a slower team. We really pushed the tempo in the first half. It's big for us when we score early and carry the momentum forward."
Harry Adolphus scored the first of his two tries for Cal in the seventh minute, followed by an Anderson penalty kick, a try by Kelly, another penalty kick by Anderson and tries from Adolphus, Andrew Battaglia and Anderson to account for the 48-7 halftime score.

Because I hate to waste food, one trick that I have learned to adapt is that when I have bananas that have ripened too far for me to want to eat, I throw them in the freezer to use for later (in cupcakes, banana bread, or things like this pudding). Throwing away good usable food makes me want to cry, one because of the dollars wasted that I see going in the trash, and two because it's not very socially responsible to throw away what could have been perfectly good food. If I can freeze bananas and save them for later, then great! I've just found a quick and easy way around this problem
I'd never added bananas into pudding before, and this turned out to be the perfect use! You'll notice that there really isn't that much sugar in this recipe. In fact, looking back, I think I could have made it without the sugar at all. The bananas add so much sweetness and richness to the flavor that they really didn't need any help. If you like bananas, and if you like pudding, this is the perfect dessert hot or cold – though after a couple taste tests – ok so I totally ate banana pudding for dinner tonight, I guess that's more than a mere taste test haha – I think I prefer it chilled for sure.
2 1/2 cups milk
3 tbs. brown sugar
3 tbs. tapioca
1/4 tsp salt (just a small pinch)
1 egg, beaten well
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1.5 cups of very ripe bananas
1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 tsp vanilla for making whipped cream
1. Peel bananas, (thaw them 1st if you used frozen ones like me) and puree in a food processor until smooth. If you still have lumps, strain the banana mixture through a sieve to get a perfectly smooth consistency.
2. Add milk, brown sugar, tapioca, salt, egg, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a medium pot and let stand 5 min (this is the suggestion on the back of the tapioca box – not really sure why you do this, but I've never done anything differently – it might have to do with helping the tapioca absorb the milk)
3. Turn heat on medium (or just past), and stir nearly constantly with a whisk until the mixture starts to steam.
4. Add in the banana puree. Keep stirring with the whisk, and bring the pudding to a full boil.
5. Take off the heat, stir for a couple more minutes, and then let cool for a few minutes before serving. Alternatively, you can chill the pudding in the fridge and eat the pudding cold. Just make sure to cover it. This pudding is definitely yummy both ways.
I then garnished with some homemade vanilla whipped cream. Yum! Whipped cream is SO easy to make by hand, and once you start doing this, you'll never go back to that fake stuff ever again. Making whipped cream goes like this – pour cream into a bowl. Take mixer (I use a hand mixer, you can also use a stand one) and place in bowl. Turn onto highest setting, keep going until magically it looks like whipped cream, with stiff peaks -meaning that when you stop beating, the peaks stay in place. Gently fold in the vanilla, and voila, fantastic whipped cream. This process seriously takes less than 5 minutes, and is LEAGUES better than the store bought fake stuff. So go spend the $1.67 on some heavy cream, and make the real stuff. Please. You'll thank me, I promise.
Oh and please forgive the terrible piping job I did with the whipped cream, I took this picture when I first made the pudding, so it was still warm, and I wanted to get the whipped cream in and the picture taken all before it melted….Melty whipped cream still tastes super yummy, but tends not to look as pretty, as evident in my French toast.

(NEWS CENTER) -- Something caused quite a stir for residents in (at least) both the Farmingdale and Gardiner areas.
NEWS CENTER has not been able to get any official response from fire departments, police departments or the local sheriff's office but there have been numerous people who felt vibrations in their homes and reported similar events.
The only outstanding detail is that as of 11:40 p.m. there were 3,700+ outages reported via CMP.com in Kennebec County.
We will continue to cover this subject as information is released Monday.

Re: bandsaw
For sure I wouldn't choose the RIDGID. Don't take my word for it though. Use the Search feature at the top of the page and you'll find many threads about this bandsaw.I decided to change calling the bathroom the "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Re: bandsaw
I have the Ridgid Bandsaw and use it very often. It's not vibration-free, although I've done little to modify it. There are some ways to improve the saw for a little extra money. Add-ons like a link belt (I did add the link belt and it's a great improvement), urethane tires, and balancing the wheels will make the BS work much better. I have been able to resaw maple and cherry with my Ridgid bandsaw.
Right now, I think Rikon makes a very good bandsaw that has a lot of features and good resaw capacity. If I had the money right now, I'd replace my Ridgid with the Rikon 10-325. In the meantime, I make do with the Ridgid and it's doing ok. For the money, the Ridgid is a pretty decent value, but there's better bandsaws out there for a bit more $$$.I put it all back together better than before. There\'s lots of leftover parts.

Re: bandsaw
If I hadn't gotten a factory rebuilt one on the cheap I wouldn't have bought it. Most of us added new urethane tires, a new spring to the tensioning rod, cool blocks and a link-belt to replace the rubber drive belt. Like Dave said, lots of threads on this in the archives.

Re: bandsaw
Hi all - first post butFor sure I wouldn't choose the RIDGID
The cuts are great - I have no vibration with the unit at all and as VASandy stated - with a few changes like the link belt and urethane tires - would even make it a better unit.Last edited by Larrysch; 03-04-2009, 09:04 AM.
Re: bandsaw
I have the Ridgid BS 14002. It needed some tweeking right out of the box, but is the cheapest ($) bandsaw of the 14" Delta clones. My biggest problem were the tires. I replaced them with Urethane tires and balanced the wheels. Total cost, $25 for the tires. After a little tuning, its a great saw. If you are on a budget, this saw is a good start. There are all the fixes for the various problems right here in this forum. If you dont choose the Ridgid, Grizzly is the one I would recommend. I would stay away from NEW Delta stuff. They are having real problems right now, as they have switched to Asian manufacturing and havent worked out all the bugs. Just my opinion.
Re: bandsaw
I have had the orange Rigid bandsaw for anout 3 years and have go luck with it. Yes I changed the belt to a link. And changed the tires. For the vibration, mounted two sheets of 3/4" ply between the saw and stand, and also trashed the rubber motor mounts and replaced them with rubber mounts you would get for the front shocks on your car. Much stronger and thicker. Not quite the nickel test but I'm happy with it. I also put a placer from Grizzley so I resaw wider wood. If I was to have any complaints, it would be the threaded rod for the blade adjustment could be better. Mine stripped out after about a year and was replaced by one from the machineshop with stronger threads. My own views.
Re: bandsaw
Thanks guys for all of you info on the ridgid 14" bandsaw. I took your advance and brought a ShopFox 14" got it for under $500 and am pleased with it so far easy to set up no vibration andhums like baby. Thanks again Bandsaw43

Trade Union Congress, TUC, has kicked against the Federal Government's plan to shore up government revenue which has been eroded by the declining international price of oil by increasing the Value Added Tax, VAT, from five to 10percent.
The congress described the move as uncalled for in view of the prevailing mass poverty and destitution aggravated by the insurgency in some parts of the country, as well as the failure of many state governments to pay the salaries of their workers.
The union, in statement issued by its President, Comrade Bobboi Kaigama and Secretary-General, Comrade Musa Lawal, noted that the development has made it impossible for the public sector to stimulate the private and informal sectors of the economy, thereby grinding the economy to a standstill.
"We therefore consider the proposed increment as evil, satanic and lacking human face."
Kaigama expressed the senior workers' anger with the Acting Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, Mr. Sunday Ogungbesan, who proposed the increment, stressing that the proposal runs contrary to the agenda of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government which is essentially centred on restoring hope to the masses and building a new Nigeria that the citizenry will be proud of.
He disagreed with FIRS' claim that the current tax regime undermines the ability of the President to deliver on his campaign promises.
Kaigama said: "The fact that the country depends on crude oil exports for over 70 percent of government revenue and over 90 percent of foreign exchange is not debatable. As such, the chairman needs not to preach that, but look for a way forward.
"After all, even the President was aware of the current scenario when he made the promises. In fact, we advise the President to beware of wolves in sheep's clothing within his administration; persons whose main motive is to play the good boy to the detriment of the people," TUC stated.
The congress expressed the conviction that the proposed increment in VAT would enthrone poverty and create untold hardship in all spheres of life, as most goods consumed by the mass are vatable, just as the case after each increment in the prices of petroleum products, prices of goods increases across board, thus forcing purchasing power to drastically reduce.
TUC lamented that the FIRS boss was choosing the easy but destructive way out, instead of proffering a durable solutions to the cases of tax evasion and waivers.
"Must the government always prey on the masses to achieve revenue targets and address deficits? How efficient has the government been in monitoring and enforcing the payment of VAT at the current rate of 5percent, and how effective has been the utilisation of the VAT that has been collected over the years?
"Should the poor masses of the country be blamed if, as the chairman claims, only 125,000 out of 450,000 corporate entities pay tax to the government? Whatever the answers to these questions may be, surely the government and Mr. FIRS Chairman need not be reminded that Nigeria can and should also generate substantial revenue from bitumen, tin, gold, limestone, iron ore, coal, etc," the statement insisted.
Trade Union Congress, TUC, has kicked against the Federal Government's plan to shore up government revenue which has been eroded by the declining international price of oil by increasing the Value Added Tax, VAT, from five to 10percent.

Saving Saigas: Projects Around the World
Browse Our Projects
Our projects span two decades of studying and protecting the critically endangered saiga antelope.
We start with sound science, working with local citizens to survey saiga populations and their environment, monitoring their health and threats to their survival.
Knowledge we gain is used for education, and we train students and young scientists and work with NGOs and schools in the saiga range areas to carry out saiga-related projects.
Through close interaction with law enforcement agencies, we also contribute towards the training of rangers who protect the herd from poachers.
Women's Embroidery Project
To encourage people to stop buying saiga meat in local markets and thus decrease the demand for poaching, SCA helps women set up embroidery collectives. The new income the women receive from selling the embroidery allows them to transition from buying saiga meat to buying more expensive sheep meat. The income can also lessen a husband's need to poach saiga to provide for his family.Learn More
Saiga Day Celebration
Saiga Day was conceived by the SCA as an international initiative to create a focus within rural communities for conservation of the saiga and its habitat. The festivities take place each spring to mark the birth of the first saiga calves of the year, and is a celebration of life which unites communities across the saiga's range under a common symbol.Learn More
Saving Saiga
Across The Steppe
The SCA works to save saigas throughout their range:
In Russia we work closely with the wonderful Center for Wild Animals in Kalmykia, a captive breeding and research facility for saigas, which has links to local schools. We also support the Saiga Day festivities, Steppe Wildlife Clubs and Wild Camps run in these schools.
Here we work closely with local NGO Partner the Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity of Kazakhstan, supporting its efforts to conserve saigas and their environment wherever we can.
WWF-Mongolia is our in-country partner here. The NGO is very active carrying out much needed scientific research, which we support through the allocation of small grants.
Our partners in Uzbekistan are incredibly active and we fully support their ground-breaking work with children, local communities and government. They carry our much needed research into saiga populations in rural areas using novel technologies.
Sadly, saigas no longer roam wild in China, but we support our partner WCS-China's efforts to stop the illegal trade of "medicinal" products made from saiga antelope horn.

Birth of a
Community: Jews and the Gold Rush

Who were the people who risked everything on these journeys? What was their
life like during the Gold rush decades? How are Jewish communities formed?

We're glad you stopped by. Malvern Books is a brand spanking new bookstore and community space for literary enthusiasts in Austin, Texas. Our bricks-and-mortar store will open its doors to the public this fall. We'll specialize in visionary literature and poetry from independent publishers, with a focus on lesser-known and emerging voices the world needs to hear. Our inventory will be lovingly curated and delightfully idiosyncratic, with one common thread running from shelf to shelf: we sell books we love to read and are proud to press enthusiastically into your hands (and this gesture may possibly be accompanied by a bellowing "You must read this!" Don't say we didn't warn you.)
As long-time Austinites, we're also thrilled to be providing a community space for book lovers. We'll host book and poetry readings and musical performances, and provide a friendly meeting space for book clubs. We won't sell coffee, because we're better at books than espresso, but we hope you'll feel welcome to pull up a seat with your purchased-very nearby mocha latte (securely lidded!) and spend a sunny afternoon or three perusing our titles.
As for the blog, this is the place to come for event listings, special offers, book reviews, small press news, local literary happenings, interviews with writerly types, bookstore gossip, and all the usual literary shenanigans. We'll be posting regularly—no cobwebs in this here corner of the blogosphere—and with alacrity, so please do stop by often and join in the conversation. We'd love to hear from you. You can also visit us on Facebook, where you can Like us, really Like us.
And if you're wondering about the name, Malvern was chosen in honor of the great Medieval poet William Langland and his epic "The Vision of Piers Plowman." It doesn't get as much love these days as The Canterbury Tales or the chivalrous (but slightly behead-y) adventures of Sir Gawain, but it's one of the most significant works of Middle English, and well worth a read if you like that sort of thing, i.e. mad quests, spiritual visions, and a trio of allegorical characters—Dowel ("Do-Well"), Dobet ("Do-Better"), and Dobest ("Do-Best")—who could teach those wise monkeys a thing or two about proverbial threesomes.

Secret Service heated argument with China officials as US officials, and Obama land in China
September 3, 2016 – When Air Force One rolled to a stop, there was no staircase for Mr. Obama to disembark in view of the television cameras. Instead, he emerged from a rarely used door in the belly of the plane. He received the smallest
bouquet of flowers from the lowest of official.
he Chinese security official confronted Susan Rice and attempted to prevent her from walking to the motorcade after she crossed the media rope line, Reuters reported.
A Secret Service agent got between Rice and the Chinese official to try to diffuse the situation.
A fistfight nearly broke out between a Chinese official trying to help the U.S. diplomats and a Chinese security official trying to keep them out. "Calm down please. Calm down," another White House official pleaded.
Twenty minutes before the arrival of Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping, the two sides were still arguing in the room where the two leaders would soon be touting their cooperation. The Chinese insisted there was not enough space for the 12 American journalists traveling with Obama. U.S. officials insisted there was, pointing to a spacious area sectioned off for the media and citing arrangements negotiated long in advance.

Chapter 2 is Coming!
The official title for chapter 2 is "Roads". It will be starting in two weeks with the chapter cover and then into Taalu's portion of the story. Next week I will be posting a "Lessons with Julea" which I hope you will all enjoy.
The past two weeks has been a wonderful break. I haven't gotten nearly as much as I would have liked to get done, but I needed a break from drawing and creative stuff in general. For the most part I've been playing some games and watching some shows. This comic stuff is a lot of work. Especially to keep up with the quality I want to present. Speaking of quality, I'm on my third version of the Chapter 2 cover. My first two attempts were balls, but this last one is a keeper. I can't wait for you all to see the finished product. …I can't wait to see the finished product! There's still so much left to do, but now that I have it mostly figured out it's going pretty fast. I did promise a site makeover. That's not happening just yet. I'll make some small changes shortly, but I spent too much time in realizing that WAMP makes me a vile potty mouth and grumpy goose. I'll make some live changes to the site, but nothing drastic and probably during hours when nobody will be looking anyway. Small stuff that won't break the site… hopefully. If anyone is a wiz at sites and can help with a reasonably attractive makeover for cheap, please let me know. The site loads too slowly and it's kind of clunky the way it looks currently. Plus I can't get the banner to align and it's driving me batty.
As far as my schedule, that's still up in the air. I will guarantee that I'll be posting weekly, but I cannot guarantee when weekly. I'll be changing my banner and information to reflect this change. *adds to list*
The script for Chapter 2 is written. No doubt it will get slightly revised as I actually draw the comics. I've been working out thumbnails for the first portion so drawing them should be a bit easier when it comes time. Layouts are the worst part for me. Once that's set up, the rest is relatively easy. There's no battle, a little humor, and lots of exposition which I find interesting but who knows if you will. We also get to see two very different sides of Aivarin, the capital of Taalu. It's densely populated and home to some of the wealthiest people in all Talyat. Every major Family has an estate there. It's also home to the largest slum in all of Talyat. Drawing the city is giving me no end of anxiety as this will be my first attempt to draw this kind of thing. I've tried to practice buildings and markets but… yeah. It's not pretty so far. I'm sure I'll work it out, though. It's just a matter of time and sore fingers. We will meet a few new characters and learn more about some we've already met. There will be no Sark, thank goodness. That rat needs killing, dammit.
Special thanks to Anne who gave me my first and only donation since the start of Kinslayer. I rode that high for weeks. You thought it very little, for me it was very much! I will be using a name she provided for a character showing up in Chapter 3.
I hope you all enjoy what I've got coming. I make no promises, but that I will do my best. Thank you all for reading Kinslayer and giving validation to years of daydreaming.

It really hurts knowing that we cannot change people or their actions. No matter how much we have love them, they are what they are, but we got to learn to get something good out of every situation and remember that our happiness should not depend on anyone else. There are good and bad people all over the world. You just got to be patient and cautious and never loose hope. As long as you are alive there's always hope. Things might not be the way you want to but it doesn't mean they will be bad. Don't give up! ~ Alma Maldonado
All past disappointment and betrayal will only strengthen you to become stronger today and for tomorrow.
No doubt about it. So grateful for the wonderful changes in my life. Looking back at everything makes me grateful beyond words that I made it through the hard times and now I get to enjoy the wonderful life I've been blessed with. ~ Anne Porter

Student/Postdoc Advisory Committee
In examining the difficulties that can face post-doctoral fellows at FHCRC, SPAC has found that many fellows entered into their positions without having clear information concerning their rights and responsibilities as trainees. These include issues of stipend level and responsibilities within the laboratory. We feel that a standardized offer letter would alleviate many of the potential problems that post-docs encounter in this area and would benefit both post-docs and PIs by establishing clearly what is to be expected from both sides. We have created a letter that can be used by PIs as a template for postdoctoral position offers. It is expected that PIs would modify this letter and add additional information, depending upon the circumstances of each particular offer. However, the letter should include:
This offer letter is available as a printable pdf document (5k pdf).

Thread: PS3 Game Stuck While Loading

PS3 Game Stuck While Loading
I made a backup of Uncharted in my PS3 internal HD. When I run Uncharted, it gets stuck during loading. I played Uncharted and had save games with it before my PS3 got jailbroken.
Is it possible the backup is messed up because when I made a copy using Backup Manager, it had save games of Uncharted when the PS3 unit was still not jailbroken (run using the original BR-D)? Someone told me that before you make backups of a game, you should first delete the save games of that game you want to backup? Can anyone please verify this?

Aris, A. K. M. and Iqbal, Parvez and Ramli, A. R. and Shamsuddin, S (2005) Design and development of a programmable painting robot for houses and buildings. Jurnal Teknologi A (42A). pp. 27-48.
- Published Version
Nowadays robots are widely used in many applications such as military, medical application, factories, entertainment, automobile industries etc. However, the application of robot is still not widely implemented in construction industry. In construction industry, robots are designed to increase speed and improve the accuracy of construction field operations. It can also be used to do hazardous and dangerous jobs in construction. For example, currently house painting is done manually. This process can be simplified using a special dedicated robot. It is very difficult and troublesome for human being to work in an upright position, especially for painting, cleaning and screwing in the ceiling for a long time. Painting in an upright position is also very dangerous for the eyes. To overcome this difficulty, a programmable painter robotic system is proposed, designed and developed. This paper describes all the processes that are involved in designing and constructing the proposed painter robot. The system is divided into two main parts namely hardware and software. In hardware part, mechanical design, fabrication, electrical and electronics system are described and in software part, control algorithm is explained. The testing results indicate that the performance of the painter robot is better compared with that of using manual painting technique.

Corkcicle. Not only are this tchotchke's name and aesthetics cute 'n' clever, the item actually serves a utilitarian purpose. Keep white wines chilled, or bring red wines people who don't give a Corkcicle about wine have stored next to their basement furnace up to "cellar temperature", without the assistance and associated melty wetness of an ice bucket. The oeno-savvy also point out that bucket-dunking Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs and Pinot...whatever the white ones are...tends to make them too cold, masking complex flavors and aromas. Corkcicles feel they provide clean, portable solutions to wine chilling from the inside out, and achieve Baby-Bear levels of just right over and over again.
To use, freeze Corkcicles for 90 minutes, and then insert in a bottle of white wine just after pouring the first glass to maintain the perfect temperature. For reds, pour a swig, insert the frozen Corkcicle, and let the bottle sit for 12 minutes to reach the ideal mid-60s range.
Corkcicles arise from Mother Nature's very best BPA-free plastic and non-toxic freeze gel. They come in 6 festive colors: Blue; Green; Pink; White; Orange; and Yellow.

Welcome to MCD2016, the 8th RILEM International Conference on Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Pavements (MCD2016) held in Nantes (France) on June 7-9, 2016. This conference has been hosted by the French Institute of Science and Technology for Transport, development and network (Ifsttar).
RILEM Bookseries volume 13, 2016 - doi: 10.1007/978-94-024-0867-6
FilMeZoArT show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUEvbyPr-f0
Many thanks to all the MCD2016 participants from all over the world that have shared with us excellent scientific and friendly moments. Some presentations are posted onto this website such as some great keynote lectures, Welcome words from Ifsttar & Rilem Cluster F information. Some presentations coming from the 4 MCD2016 workshops are available and may be downloaded here.
NEWS: Automn 2016, out of the 106 short (6 pages) papers published in the proceedings, 29 invitations has been sent to the selected authors for submitting an extended version of their MCD2016 papers (See here the Springer Self-archiving policy.) -> Automn 2017: out of the 26 full papers received before end 2016, 21 have been accepted finally in thematic issues of the 3 journals: RMPD (Vol. 19, issue 3 (in Press), 2018), EJECE (Vol.11, issue sup1, August 2017) , ASTM International - JTE (Vol. 45, issue 6, Nov. 2017)
A pavement is a complex structure composed of several layers made up of different types of heterogeneous materials. This multilayer system rests on a semi-infinite soil and is subjected to severe climate variations and heavy traffic loads. In their lifetime, pavements undergo degradation due to different mechanisms of which cracking is among the most important. To appraise this type of degradation in mechanical analyses, boundary conditions applied to the pavement structure must be known. Moreover, the damage and the fracture behavior of all the material layers as well as interfaces must be understood.
The purpose of the 8th Rilem international conference is to present the results of TC 241-MCD as well as the latest advances in research to analyze mechanical damage and its detection in multilayer systems. This will favor discussions between different research communities to help apply these advances to pavement structures. Eventually, the aim is to be able to better detect the initiation and the propagation of cracks in pavement and also to have tools that make possible the search for technical solutions able to prevent (or to limit) cracking in usual and emergeing structures.
The event is coordinated with the activities of the Rilem TC 241-MCD (2011-2016), that aims at developing a deeper fundamental understanding of the mechanisms responsible for cracking and debonding in asphalt concrete and composite (e.g., asphalt overlays placed on PCC or thin cement concrete overlay placed on asphalt layer) pavement systems. See also the MCD2016 Greetings from the Emeritus Professor AAA Molenaar.
History of the 7 previous Rilem conferences linked to MCD2016
Prior to 2000 and at the initiative of the RILEM Technical Committee (TC) 97- GCR (application of Geotextiles to Crack prevention in Roads) leaded by Louis Francken, a series of four international RILEM conferences on "Reflective Cracking" was held in Liege (RC1989) (RC1993), Maastricht (RC1996) and Ottawa (RC2000). The objective was to present up-to-date information on the rehabilitation of cracked roads with bituminous overlays which was the solution adopted worldwide to delay the cracking propagation in pavements (see the TC 157-PRC document).
To approach cracking problems in pavements in a more general sense, the scope of the conference was extended to other modes of cracking modes such as fatigue, ageing or top-down cracking. Then, a successful series of three conferences on "Cracking in Pavement" was held in Limoges (CP2004 - Proceedings - from Rilem), Chicago (CP2008 - Proceedings) and Delft (CP2012 - Proceedings).

It's expected 2014 will be a ding dong year for the Unitarian Church at Honey Hole, Todmorden!
From the return of its bells - which have been away for restoration - and other initiatives, they are hoping as many people as possible will support events sat the Grade I listed building.
A spokesman said: "It's all go this year. We have our bells, which are being renewed at the foundry, coming home soon and when they return we would like to invite anyone who has a connection or intrest in the church to come for tea and help us celebrate."
In the meantime, on Saturday, February 1, the venue hosts an evening to celebrate Sufism to which all are welcome to come and find out more about the movement.
This church is also hoping to be very busy with weddings this year, particularly as same sex couples can be married there after the new laws come into place on March 29.
All this activity will go along side Incredible Edible talks and tours.
More art exhibitions are also planned, with local artist Christopher Furminger hosting a one day exhibition on April 26.

Prison Hunger Striker Dies in Turkey
Published 8:00 pm, Monday, January 7, 2002
A woman who was among dozens of prison inmates staging a hunger strike in Turkey died Tuesday after fasting for more than seven months.
Lale Colak, 27, was the 45th person to die in the yearlong protest over Turkey's new maximum security prison system. About 100 inmates continue to starve themselves to death, taking vitamins and sugared water to prolong their fast.
The independent Human Rights Association said she died in a hospital in Istanbul 10 days after she was discharged from prison because her health was failing.
Colak had been jailed for being a member of an outlawed leftist group, the Union of Revolutionary Communists of Turkey, or TIKB.
Leftist prisoners and their supporters began the fast to protest the government's policy of moving prisoners from large wards housing up to 100 people to one- or three-inmate cells.
Prisoners say small cells leave them isolated and vulnerable to abuse by guards. The government says the large wards became virtual training camps for militants.
Militant leftist groups leading the strike have claimed responsibility for a number of assassinations and bombings since the 1970s.

Amid strong sales in the smartphone market, mini molding chokes have become the hottest area in the passive components industry since last year. Mini molding chokes are small, have low DC resistance, and are capable of withstanding large currents, resulting in their broad use in midrange to high-end smartphones that emphasize product performance, thereby continually driving related demand.
A report from the ITRI IEK Components Research Department indicates that global market demand for mini molding chokes in 2014 is estimated at 8.7 billion units, with the overall market still in a state of demand exceeding supply. Chilisin Electronics is a major supplier in the industry.
Introducing the World's Smallest Mini Molding Choke
Vendors currently capable of supplying mini molding chokes include Chilisin Electronics, Japan's TOKO, Japan's TDK, and Cyntec (which is part of the Delta Electronics Group). What's worth mentioning is that the HEI (High Efficiency Inductor) series of power inductors introduced by Chilisin at the end of 2013 has properties that outperform those of competitors' and has successfully obtained certifications from many mobile phone customers in the market. In addition, Chilisin plans to introduce an even smaller mini molding choke - the industry's first HEI201208 (2.0 x 1.2x0.8mm) - this quarter. It is expected to meet mobile phone customers' needs in terms of smaller-sized components, making Chilisin an industry leader.
Longer battery life is an important goal for smartphone power management design. Comparisons show that Chilisin's products outperform competitors' in terms of both inductor Q factors under light loading and RDC values under heavy loading. This shows that Chilisin's mini molding chokes perform efficiently both under heavy loading (PWM) and light loading (PFM), meeting efficiency requirements of mobile phones under operational modes as well as reducing power consumption under standby modes.
To promote this product, Chilisin continues to strengthen partnerships with mobile phone chip vendors, serving as a primary solution supplier when mobile phone chips are announced and actively doing design-in with various major vendors. In the first half of this year, most mass-produced models on the market still use 2520 mini molding chokes; beginning from the second half of the year, the 2016 form factor will gradually become the mainstream. But Chilisin is one step ahead of the industry and has already started mass-producing 201210 molding chokes. Mobile phone clients who have adopted this product are expected to expand their orders during the third quarter of this year. It is understood that each high-end smartphone uses about 15-25 power inductors. Currently, Chilisin has a complete lineup of high-end smartphone mini molding chokes in the 3225, 2520, 2016 and 2012 sizes, and they are capable of meeting the needs of different regions as well as different generations of mobile phones.
Continued Optimization with Inductor Arrays Being Added to the Blueprints
Chilisin stresses that with the increase in operating frequencies for chips in mobile phones, power efficiency requirements under light loads are also more and more stringent. A 1-2% difference in efficiency can make the difference between winning and losing an order from mobile phone vendors who try to squeeze out every single drop of power savings. Chilisin believes that its high-efficiency inductor products have significant competitive advantages. Judging from previous experiences with dealing with Japanese mobile phone vendors, it is clear that they care much more about inductor performance than cost considerations. Chilisin has established close partnerships with many Japanese customers through major Japanese dealerships in the form of strategic alliances, in which high-performance HEI series products are extremely popular.
As a follow-up to the current series of HEI molding chokes, Chilisin plans to introduce its UHEI (Ultra-High Efficiency Inductor) series at the end of this year, providing mobile phone vendors with products of even higher efficiency. Furthermore, Chilisin also plans to introduce its MTFA 2-in-1 inductor array products in the first half of 2015, which will make even more effective use of the limited circuit space in handheld devices, providing customers with an even more diverse range of product solutions.
Chilisin has successfully expanded its production capacity for mini molding chokes from 60 million units per month last year to 100 million units per month this year. Through continual improvement of its process technologies, Chilisin has increased its yield to above 80%. Chilisin's executives have stated that since overall market demand has been exceeding supply this year, they plan to continue to expand production capacity throughout the year.
Meeting Different Needs through a Diverse Range of Products
This year's inductor product market has focused on mini molding chokes, whereas Chilisin began strategically planning for the mobile phone market in 2009, which has allowed it to successfully enter the supply chains of various major global smartphone vendors. When you look at why new customers prefer Chilisin, its success in introducing mini molding chokes is one factor. Another important reason for its ability to maintain its competitiveness is its constant improvements in product integration.
Chilisin's products are suitable for DC-DC converters, RF applications, as well as EMI suppression applications. Their constructions, ranging from multilayering or thin-film, to wire-winding or molding, provide the ability to meet the diverse design needs of all types of mobile phone customers. For example, for mobile phone power inductor applications, HEI or MHCD series mini molding chokes can support PMIC circuits, and the metal-based MRSC series magnetic wire-wound power inductors can support step-up circuits for backlighting; for Wi-Fi modules, there are multilayer-process MPB power inductors for small current applications. Over the years, Chilisin has accumulated much knowledge on different types of processes and technologies, and to this day continues to pursue perfection. Chilisin's R&D team has begun to combine and consolidate various different types of process technologies to engage in the development of next-generation products, and it is anticipated that when these products are introduced, they will once again become highlights of the market.
Capability of Vertically Integrating Powders and Processes
Chilisin has always been able to quickly introduce new inductor products in line with the latest trends in the electronics industry as well as different market segment requirements. The key to its success is the fact Chilisin has its own powder factory and the capability of develop powders in-house. Chilisin points out that the Ni-Zn ferrite and metal-alloy powders required for producing inductors is 100% internally developed, without any help from outside sources. Therefore, Chilisin is able to formulate materials based on customer requirements and provide effective solutions rapidly, thereby quickly meeting the needs of its customers in terms of properties and specifications. This is also one of the underlying reasons why Chilisin is able to offer competitive prices.
Chilisin is able to manage a variety of powder materials and it is one of few specialists who simultaneously possess the know-how for developing and manufacturing multilayer inductors, precision wire-wound inductors, thin-film inductors, and molding chokes. Therefore, Chilisin is not only capable of meeting the needs of mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and notebooks; it also continues to supply components for various types of products, including PC monitors, LCD TVs, servers, as well as telecommunications equipment. It is now even planning to enter the automotive electronics market. Looking forward, Chilisin's independent materials development and technological capabilities, as well as its diverse market strategies, will continue to inject endless momentum into the company.

DROWN: Breaking TLS using SSLv2
25th USENIX Security Symposium (2016)
Publication Year
Christoph Paar, David Adrian, Emilia Kasper, J. Alex Halderman, Jens Steube, Juraj Somorovsky, Luke Valenta, Maik Dankel, Nadia Heninger, Nimrod Aviram, Sebastian Schinzel, Shaanan Cohney, Susanne Engels, Viktor Dukhovni, Yuval Shavitt
We present DROWN, a novel cross-protocol attack that can decrypt passively collected TLS sessions from upto-date clients by using a server supporting SSLv2 as a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle. We present two versions of the attack. The more general form exploits a combination of thus-far unnoticed protocol flaws in SSLv2 to develop a new and stronger variant of the Bleichenbacher attack. A typical scenario requires the attacker to observe 1,000 TLS handshakes, then initiate 40,000 SSLv2 connections and perform 2 50 offline work to decrypt a 2048-bit RSA TLS ciphertext. (The victim client never initiates SSLv2 connections.) We implemented the attack and can decrypt a TLS 1.2 handshake using 2048- bit RSA in under 8 hours using Amazon EC2, at a cost of $440. Using Internet-wide scans, we find that 33% of all HTTPS servers and 22% of those with browser-trusted certificates are vulnerable to this protocol-level attack, due to widespread key and certificate reuse. For an even cheaper attack, we apply our new techniques together with a newly discovered vulnerability in OpenSSL that was present in releases from 1998 to early 2015. Given an unpatched SSLv2 server to use as an oracle, we can decrypt a TLS ciphertext in one minute on a single CPU—fast enough to enable man-in-the-middle attacks against modern browsers. 26% of HTTPS servers are vulnerable to this attack. We further observe that the QUIC protocol is vulnerable to a variant of our attack that allows an attacker to impersonate a server indefinitely after performing as few as 225 SSLv2 connections and 265 offline work. We conclude that SSLv2 is not only weak, but actively harmful to the TLS ecosystem.

The Yankees are working to get to a $189 million budget for 2014, but they certainly weren't cutting costs last year as they were hit with a $18.9 million luxury tax bill on a $222.5 million payroll, according to an Associated Press report.
The Yankees were charged a 42.5 percent tax on everything over the $178 million luxury tax threshold. Typically the penalty is just 17.5 percent, but the Yankees have to pay more since they are repeat offenders. Their rate was 42.5 percent this year after it was just 40 percent the year before (when they paid just $13.9 million). Next season it will be 50 percent which is why they are trying to cut payroll. Their total tax bill has been $224.2 million over the past 10 years.
For tax purposes the average annual value of all the contracts on the 40-man roster are counted plus any bonuses, incentives, buyouts, and $10.8 million in team benefits. The $11 million the Yankees paid to A.J. Burnett also counts toward the tax.
They were the only team to exceed that limit with the Phillies, Red Sox, and Angels being the next three closest. The Red Sox would have had to pay if it had not been for their salary dumping trade with the Dodgers midseason.
This gives us a good idea of how much the Yankees will save by getting under the tax threshold in 2014. They paid a total of $243.1 million in 2012 between the payroll and tax. If they cut their payroll to $189 million and avoid the tax in 2014 that's a savings of $54.1 million plus they'll qualify for millions more in revenue sharing and rebates.
