A grim, persuasive version of the Suzanne Collins novel about teenagers who are forced to compete in an annual fight to the death in a dystopia of the future. Jennifer Lawrence is a steely heroine, and director Gary Ross makes the spectacle a grimly believable extension of reality TV.
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Woody Harrelson
Rating: Four stars out of five
The violent dystopia of The Hunger Games became a cult sensation -- even eclipsing the mournful Gothic romance of Twilight -- for a good reason. Novelist Suzanne Collins invented a world that encapsulated a cultural nightmare: reality television meets high school, spiced with the twin adolescent suspicions of a grim future and adult perfidy.
The result is a story of teenagers forced to fight to the death for the grown-up crime of being rebellious, while a worldwide TV audience sits transfixed.
It evokes a mixture of desperation and star-crossed love, a manhunt-to-the-death that stands as a metaphor for both modern entertainment and yearning adolescence. And the whole school is there: the nice kids, the anonymous ones, the dangerous cliques. This is a teen epic with an adult face, YouTube with murder.
In The Hunger Games myth, an America of the future, called Panem, has undergone a civil war and emerged as a police state run from a tyrannical Capitol. In Gary Ross's film version, the set design combines fascist heroic architecture (grand plazas, oversized rooms) with Italian modern furnishings and fashions that look like what might happen if Lady Gaga were elected empress. It's all gold, glitter and curlicue hairstyles: One character wears a beard that's cut into a design of paisley.
Things aren't so grand in Panem's provinces, however. In District 12 -- a coal-mining area pictured as a forlorn territory of shacks and creased faces -- 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen has become an expert archer, killing squirrels to keep her family fed. Katniss (the names in The Hunger Games sound like what movie stars might be calling their children 100 years from now) is played by Jennifer Lawrence with the same steely intelligence she showed in Winter's Bone, a more contemporary nightmare of Ozarks culture.
The conquered rebels are forced to take part in a deadly retribution. Once a year, on "Reaping Day," two teenagers are chosen by lottery from each district, fed at lavish banquets -- The Hunger Games borrows a tone of immoral corruption from the last days of the Roman Empire -- trained in gladiatorial combat, and sent out to slaughter one another. The entire spectacle is shown on TV, including a pre-fight introduction hosted by an overbearing ringmaster (Stanley Tucci) that is part professional wrestling and part beauty pageant.
Katniss becomes a District 12 combatant when she volunteers to replace her younger sister. She is paired with Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), the town baker who has a crush on her, which adds to the tragedy: Only one survivor is allowed.
There's a triangle in all this, as well: Katniss must leave behind Gale (Liam Hemsworth), her old hunting friend. But that doesn't play out much in this first movie of a likely Hunger Games trilogy. It seems mostly designed to give Katniss the enviable problem (which of these two hunks should she choose?) that drives so much young adult fiction.
But Ross avoids the pitfalls that would make The Hunger Games too schmaltzy. He's had some experience in these matters: His 1998 comedy Pleasantville was almost The Hunger Games in reverse, with two teenagers transported back in time to live in an anodyne 1950s TV sitcom. That film evolved from black and white into rich colour; The Hunger Games is in colour, but feels dreary and washed-out. Ross is spare in his use of music, and he frequently uses a hand-held camera to give the film a documentary intimacy. He also avoids overly explicit violence.
The Hunger Games has a rich sense of history that bobs on the surface of its culture of grim amusement. In the glitzy world of the film's first half, Katniss and Peeta take part in lavish, pre-butchery feasts and then try ingratiate themselves to the "sponsors" who might help them later. "It's a television show," says Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), a previous Hunger Games winner -- drunk much of the time, as he would be -- who is brought on board as a mentor. In a world-become-television, appearance is all.
Lurking in the shadows is President Snow (Donald Sutherland), the malevolent architect of the event, whose understanding of crowds -- the blood lust, the role of the underdog -- marks him as dangerously conniving. "A little hope is effective," he says. "A lot of hope is dangerous." He's not the first American leader to speak about hope, but he's the first to make it into a threat. The road between here and there may be shorter than we fear.

The edge of the solar system has no edge, it turns out. It has a fuzzy transitional area, not quite solar system and not quite interstellar space.
This basic fact of our star's environment has been discovered by Voyager 1, one of the most remarkable spaceships ever built. Our premier scout of deep space, Voyager 1, is currently 11bn miles from the sun, beaming data to Earth as it scoots at 24,000kmph toward the constellation Ophiuchus.
Scientists had assumed that Voyager 1, launched in 1977, would have exited the solar system by now. That would mean crossing the heliopause and leaving behind the vast bubble known as the heliosphere, which is characterised by particles flung by the sun and by a powerful magnetic field.
The scientists' assumption turned out to be half-right. On 25 August, Voyager 1 saw a sharp drop-off in the solar particles, also known as the solar wind. At the same time, there was a spike in galactic particles coming from all points of the compass. But the sun's magnetic field still registers, somewhat diminished, on the spacecraft's magnetometer. So it's still in the sun's magnetic embrace, in a sense.
This unexpected transitional zone, dubbed the "heliosheath depletion region," is described in three new papers about Voyager 1 published online last month by the journal Science.
"There were some surprises," said Ed Stone, who has been the lead scientist of Nasa's Voyager program since 1972. "We expected that we would cross a boundary and leave all the solar stuff behind and be in all the interstellar stuff. It turned out, that's not what happened." So, how big is this transitional zone at the edge of the solar system?
"No one knows," said Stone, 77, a professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology and the former head of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Voyager's home base. "It's not in any of the models. We don't know. It could take us a few more months, it could take us several more years to get through it."
The dimensions and nature of the heliosphere are not a wholly esoteric matter. The sun's magnetic field deflects much of the radiation coming from other parts of the galaxy that was created in supernova explosions. Interstellar space is not a benign environment. The heliosphere's features make life easier for blue planets such as Earth.
Voyager 1 can be counted as one of the great exploratory craft in history, and none has gone farther, nor cruised steadily at such astonishing speed (a few have briefly gone faster while falling into the sun). Two Voyager probes were launched in 1977. Both spaceships carried a gold-plated record crammed with digital information about human civilization, including mathematical formulas, an image of a naked man and woman, whale vocalizations, and clips of classical and rock-and-roll music. (The famous joke was that the aliens listened to the record and replied, "Send more Chuck Berry.")
The two Voyagers embarked on what was called the Grand Tour, taking advantage of an orbital positioning of the four outer planets that happens less than once a century. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn before angling "north," as astronomers would describe it. (There's no up or down in space, but there is a north or south relative to the orbital plane of the planets.) Voyager 2 went past Jupiter and Saturn and flew by Uranus and Neptune before heading "south."
The images of those planets and their moons, now taken for granted, were stunning triumphs of the Voyager mission. And in 1990, Voyager 1, nearly 4 billion miles from the sun, turned its camera toward Earth and took an image of what Carl Sagan called the "pale blue dot" of our home planet.
Now Voyager 1 is 124 astronomical units from the sun – one AU being roughly the mean distance from Earth to the sun, or about 150m kilometres. Voyager 2 is at 102 AU.
These spacecraft are not immortal, even if sometimes they act like it. They have a power supply from the radioactive decay of plutonium-238, which generates heat. The half-life of that system is 88 years. Small thrusters occasionally are fired to keep Voyager 1's 23-watt radio antenna pointed toward Earth, where the faint signals are picked up on huge arrays of radio telescopes in the United States, Spain and Australia. But Stone anticipates that weakening power will force scientists to start shutting down scientific instruments on Voyager 1 in 2020 and that by 2025, the last instrument will be turned off.
"It changed the way we view our place in the cosmos," said Bill Nye, the "Science Guy" who is chief executive of the Planetary Society in Pasadena, Calif. He said the new discovery by Voyager 1 is a classic example of why we explore: "What are you going to find over the unknown horizon? We don't know. That why we explore out there."
NASA's associate administrator for space technology, Michael Gazarik, said of Voyager 1's durability: "It is amazing, especially in the harsh environment of space. This piece of hardware has a life of its own."
In 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will be closer to another star (with the romantic name AC+79 3888) than to the sun. And then what? It will just keep going – a silent, dark craft on a seemingly eternal journey.
"It will be orbiting the center of the Milky Way galaxy essentially for billions of years, like all the stars," said Stone of what has been, for him, the spacecraft of a lifetime.

Dear Readers:
Those people who have followed this blog know that any time I write about anything, I do it with passion. But passion takes a lot of energy.
This year has been emotionally taxing, with the death of one of my good friends and that death occurring only a year and a half after another one of my good friends died. I've tried to keep the blog going, but I've found it extremely difficult, if not impossible to post regularly–four to eight times a month– with the same effortless passion I've had in the past
I guess you've noticed that I haven't been faithful in posting on my blog for the past few months, even before late May, when I took an unexpected–but seriously wonderful–trip to Dakar, Senegal. While there, I fell in love with the country and the people, but I did not change my opinion of Africa as my motherland (something I've written on before.) Rather, I expanded my worldview.
Having come back from Africa, I've experienced a clarity of self that I've never known, and I know that writing this blog helped me to start the journey toward that clarity. But keeping up a blog is a lot of work, and especially because I've been trying to finish two books.
One book I've talked about a lot: The Age of Phillis is a poetry book on the life and times of Phillis Wheatley, the first African American woman to publish a book. Phillis Wheatley was kidnapped into slavery as a child and it is assumed that she embarked on the horrific Middle Passage in what was then (1761) called the "Senegambia" region. The trip to Senegal was important to my finishing that book, but equally important to finishing a book is, like, actually writing the book.
The other book I'm writing is a novel that I've tried to make go away, and which won't budge from my soul. I didn't talk a lot about the novel, because I didn't know whether I would ever hit a groove in writing it. But now that I have, I hope to finish it, God willing. In fact, this blog helped me find my prose voice, the strength and courage of it. The humor and the honesty of it. But unfortunately, trying to write two sets of prose each week–one for a novel and one for this blog–is working my nerves overtime. I had to make a choice, and the novel won.
I know that folks will be disappointed–and a few, even a little bit upset–that I've decided to take an indefinite hiatus from blogging, but I hope y'all will understand where I'm coming from. And also, I hope y'all will see that I'm not really leaving y'all, just going away and coming back in another form–hopefully with two books.
I am going to maintain this blog space and page, so that if you miss me, you can always read past, archived posts. And you can always follow me on twitter @blklibrarygirl or "like" my Facebook fan page to keep in touch. And soon, if God says the same, I will have some new books for you to read!
I mean it sincerely when I say, I can't thank y'all enough for the support you have shown to this blog. That support was completely unexpected but so needed in a difficult time in my life. In writing this blog, I've become more courageous in expressing my views and more aware of my artistic voice. I've discovered a fearlessness I never thought I was capable of. And I learned what was important to me. I was able to grow in these ways because of you, my readers, and the kind appreciation you've shown me.
Thank y'all so much.
Love always,

UPCOMING ALBUM ARM'S WAY OUT MAY 20th SELECT PRE-RELEASE SHOWS IN MARCH TO INCLUDE SXSW
Islands have signed to Anti-Records, home to such luminaries as Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Neko Case. May 20th will see the release of the band's Arm's Way album, finding them at their most confident, creative and realized. Ten tour dates in March, including two SXSW performances, will be followed by a full U.S tour beginning in mid-April and continuing on into May, including an appearance at the festival of the year, Coachella.
"After more than a year in the frozen pipes, we are beside ourselves (three times) to be presenting what we believe to be our finest work yet, on the finest label we could think of. It's been a long time coming, and it'll be a long time before it's gone." -Nick Thorburn, Islands
Their debut Return to the Sea was heralded as a great work of maturation and emotional exploration, and Arm's Way is the natural extension of that evolution. While Return to the Sea featured guest appearances from everyone from Arcade Fire and Wolf Parade to Busdriver, Arm's Way is far more centered and focuses on the band's considerable abilities and the superb writing of singer Nick Thorburn. A sprawling symphonic work of art, the band co-produced the record with Ryan Hadlock (Blonde Redhead, Stephen Malkmus).
"Islands' singular vision makes them enormously important in today's music scene and an amazing addition to the Anti roster. We are thrilled that they will be part of what we do." -Andy Kaulkin, Anti Records president
"Abominable Snow" "The Arm"
TOUR DATES IN MARCH: 9-Mar Pontiac, MI - CroFoot Theater 10-Mar Newport, KY - Southgate House 11-Mar Memphis, TN - Hi Tone 12-Mar Denton, TX - Hailey's 13-Mar Austin, TX - SXSW Anti/Utne Reader Showcase at Emo' 15-Mar Austin, TX - SXSW Mess with Texas at Waterloo Park 17-Mar Norman, OK - Opolis 18-Mar Columbia, MO - Blue Note 19-Mar St. Louis, MO - Off Broadway 20-Mar Bloomington, IN - Rhino's
Islands are poised to turn heads this year with their brand of manic, uber-catchy pop. -PITCHFORK MEDIA
It's sprawling, ambitious pop music. -FILTER
A rollicking, whimsical sound - the songs meld radio-friendly melodies with alt-folk orchestrations and surrealist lyrics. -SPIN
In a modern day world of homogenous indie bands, it is extremely refreshing when introduced to a band that have managed to acheve some originality. -RADAR

A ModBook Pro is exactly what it sounds like—a 13-inch MacBook Pro, but modified by a third-party company to be used as a Mac tablet.
"A Mac tablet? Isn't that an iPad?" That's the universal question I received when telling anyone about this review. When compared against the product's original launch in 2008, the ModBook Pro certainly has some new challenges when it comes to finding its niche in the "tablet" market. Back then, the idea of a tablet was something like the ModBook Pro—a full-blown computer whose screen was flipped around and could be used as a flat device, usually with a stylus. Nowadays, "tablet" usually refers to a product that's more slimmed down with some version of a mobile operating system—an iPad, or a Galaxy Tab, or a Surface.

On one hand, that kind of new competition is bad for the ModBook Pro. On a pricing level, an iPad or Surface is several magnitudes less costly than the $3,499 ModBook Pro. Not to mention, they're lighter, easier to carry around, and arguably more intuitive to use for the average consumer. On the other hand, the shift in the general definition of "tablet computer" has put the ModBook in a good position. It's the only tablet-like device out there that runs on real MacBook Pro hardware with a full version of OS X.
That's the way the ModBook Pro's creator, Andreas Haas, sees it too. In an interview with Ars in June of 2012—right when he relaunched his product from a new company—Haas explained that the iPad actually helps the ModBook Pro by breeding users who want to do more on their tablets than the iPad allows.
"I'm looking at all these tablets out there, like the iPad, and seeing the seeds of a future Modbook Pro user," Haas said at the time. "Almost everyone has an iPad or iPhone. I wouldn't want to live without it. But as a company, we are looking at a very distinct niche. The creative industry does not have a product that meets their need to draw on a real computer's screen and have it be portable. It's just not out there."
Indeed, if you fit into the demographic that Haas is targeting, the ModBook Pro is pretty much your only option—at least if you want to use OS X. (Like all modern Mac hardware, the ModBook Pro can also run Windows under Boot Camp.) But do you fit that demographic?
This review focuses on the user experience of the new ModBook Pro in hopes of helping you decide whether it's right for you. The hardware specs won't play a major role in this review, not because it's not important, but because the hardware largely matches Apple's mid-2012 (non-retina) MacBook Pro specs. At nearly a year old, we think that hardware has had plenty of discussion already.
So without further ado, here's our look at the 2012-2013 version of the ModBook Pro (pimped out version):
ModBook Pro: Outside and in
The ModBook Pro is packed similarly to a MacBook Pro. But unlike the 2008 ModBook, the 2012-2013 version doesn't exactly look like a MacBook Pro. The new version of the Mac tablet comes in a black brushed metal casing, with its SuperDrive on the right side of the screen and ports on the left:
The ports on the left include everything that comes standard with a current MacBook Pro: a MagSafe power adapter, Ethernet, FireWire, Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, an SD card slot, and audio out. There are also two buttons on the side: a power button and a "Mod Key," button, which is meant to help calibrate the stylus once you take your ModBook out of the box.
The ModBook's stylus is stored in a little enclave built into the top of the casing. Unlike the rest of the ModBook Pro, the stylus is white. (And we appreciate this—it makes it harder to hide or lose.) Unlike the MacBook Pro, the ModBook's sleep pulse light rests on the front just underneath the display.
But the main thought that crosses your mind upon holding a ModBook Pro is "this thing is heavy." At 5.4 pounds, the ModBook Pro—which, again, is made from a modified 13-inch MacBook Pro—is about a full pound heavier than a non-retina 13-inch MacBook Pro (4.5 pounds). In fact, it's roughly the same weight as a non-retina 15-inch MacBook Pro (5.6 pounds). Relatively speaking, the ModBook Pro is a brick when the weight-to-size ratio is concerned. It's important to note, though, that it weighs roughly the same as the 2008 version of the ModBook Pro. (Coincidentally, I also described that as a "brick.")
The mere idea of carrying it around in a bag on a regular basis sends shivers down my spine. (This is coming from a MacBook Air user, so you may want to take my horror with a grain of salt.) But honestly, it's the one major turn-off with the design of the current ModBook Pro. Wouldn't creative professionals using a tool like this mostly avoid carrying it around if they could help it?
One more thing to note about the ModBook Pro's design: unlike the MacBook Pro, there is no FaceTime camera above the screen. (The 2008 version of the ModBook Pro kept the camera, but the company apparently decided to ditch it this time around.) I don't see this being much of a problem for users looking at this product, but it's worth noting in case you do a lot of video chatting and don't want to use too many different devices.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management on Thursday held a conference call with its clients discussing the impact of the fiscal cliff and President Obama's re-election on retirement.
On the call were Lynn Dudley, senior vice president for American Benefits Council and Bob Holcomb, executive director of legislative and industry affairs for J.P. Morgan Retirement Plan Services. Michael Falcon, head of retirement for J.P Morgan, acted as moderator.
Following the election, we're left with a "status quo" in the House and Senate, Dudley said. "For all the money that was spent, the House and the Senate look the same on the outside, but not so much on the inside. The election changed the makeup from a religious, race and gender perspective."
Rep. Mazie Hirono currently represents Hawaii in the House, but will be the Senate's first Buddhist when she is sworn in. She is also the first Asian-American woman to be elected to the Senate. Furthermore, her replacement in the House, Tulsi Gabbard, will be the first Hindu to serve in Congress.
The change in the demographics of Congress is important because it "can change the way dialogue is conducted and change the shape of coalitions that are formed," Dudley said.
Holcomb said the results of the election left him feeling optimistic. "It seems more policymakers have come to the realization that now is the time to roll up their sleeves and find good policies and solutions," he said. "I'm cautiously optimistic going into 2013."
In the lame duck session before the new Congress takes over in January, Holcomb sees one of three scenarios playing out regarding the fiscal cliff. One, and least likely, he said, was that policymakers would reach a bargain and "march boldly into 2013." Another possibility was for short-term extensions based on a downvpayment or caps on deductions. The most likely scenario, he said, was that "we'll go into the end December without anything happening and the new Congress will address issues retroactively.
Dudley said that conciliatory efforts were most effective in the post-election period. "A lot of the public doesn't fully understand" the problems at hand, she said, and neither do a lot of members of Congress. "Congressional leaders know we have to do something."
Regarding tax reform, Holcomb said that policymakers appear to have strong positions "on the surface," but that "we're also hearing underlying language that shows they're willing to look at tax rates that are lower than those under Clinton or alternative ways of raising income."
"The first thing they're going to have to deal with," Dudley noted, "are the Bush tax cuts. Whose cuts are going to be extended?" She listed a host of other problems that the new Congress will have to address: expiring tax provisions, how to offset sequester issues, automatic cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, the "doctor fix," and the debt level for 2013. "A good guide is looking at what was offered last time but wasn't accepted," she said.
Holcomb agreed that the "key issue is the Bush tax cuts," but thought it would likely be put off until next year. "It's not something that gets hammered out between Thanksgiving and Christmas," he said. He suggested a compromise similar to Sen. Chuck Schumer's proposal, which raised tax rates at the $1 million level were a "face-saving way to address the issue."
Dudley suggested the possibility of returning to higher top rates on ordinary income with lower rates on capital gains, or limits on the amount of deductions.
Holcomb listed examples of suggestions to limit deductions. The Simpson-Bowles plan included a proposal to cap deductions at 25% of income, Holcomb said, and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has suggested capping deductions at a dollar amount.
The president himself has proposed to cap personal deductions at 28%, he said.
That idea is "getting a lot of play," Dudley said. "It has the advantage of working inside the tax code and targeting higher incomes and is more popular with the public as a result."
One thing that isn't often talked about, Dudley said, is capping contributions in any sort of retirement plan. The impact of a such a move, Holcomb said, would not only be immediate, but long-term because it would apply to all contributions: employee deferrals and employer matches. "Nowhere do you see people talking about it on an after-tax basis. It appears participants could be paying as they go into the plan and at distribution."
One of the difficulties in talking about retirement funds with policymakers, Dudley said, is that they don't understand "money in retirement plan isn't lost." Holcomb agreed: "The money isn't leaving the system, it's being invested."

This season thomaspaul looks to London for inspiration; specifically the London of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The patterns are a mixed lot - geometrics play off of sweet floral patterns, art nouveau sits next to art deco - and these are all interspersed with thomaspaul's signature animal motifs. It is all about mixing, matching, and layering patterns and colors. So feel free to embrace your inner English eccentric!
Designer Thomas Paul was born and raised in New York City and got his start in the fashion business. This eventually led to the creation of his own label. Since then his line has steadily expanded into other categories such as tabletop, stationary, rugs, lighting, fabrics, and wall art. The ultimate goal is to have products covering every aspect of the home, all with Thomas Paul patterns gracing them.

My interest in early keyboard instruments dates back to 1978. Since 1985 I have been making harpsichords, spinets, virginals and clavichords in my own workshop in the northwest of Austria. I have also restored a few original instruments for private owners in Austria.
My instruments are never exact copies. They are either inspired by a particular historical instrument which has in most cases been personally examined, or they are built in the style of a certain instrument-making school and period. Each of my instruments is individually handcrafted to order. They are built on strictly historical lines using appropriate methods and materials which would have been used by the old masters. Working on my own I build only a small number of instruments per year. I make most of the components myself, including keyboards, action parts, tuning pins and various other items like tangents and overspun strings for clavichords. The action consists of traditional wooden jacks with no regulating screws, the tuning pins are hand-forged with flat tops and no holes but they have a light hand-filed thread.
Most recent restorations include a square piano which is said to have been in the possession of Konstanze Mozart.

Carey Beebe is probably the most traveled and best known Australian harpsichord maker. After a music degree and three performance diplomas he became more interested in harpsichord construction, and trained at the prominent American workshop of D. Jacques Way. In 1982 he was made the youngest ever International Agent for Zuckermann Harpsichords Inc, but since 1999 has been working exclusively with Marc Ducornet and THE PARIS WORKSHOP.

"Harpsichords - Fortepianos - Virginals - Clavichords
All my instrument designs, materials and structure are based on the surviving 17th and 18th Century Harpsichords from the French, Flemish, Italian and German schools of building. To ensure stability, I use only well seasoned timbers of yellow poplar, German spruce, Swiss pear, Italian cypress and European beech along with logs of ebony, boxwood and holly. Virtually all of the parts used in the instruments including the keyboards and jacks are handmade in my West Vancouver workshop.
My instruments are used in concert halls by many of the world's top players, ensembles and orchestras. "

"Over the past 30 years, Yves Beaupré harpsichords have won acclaim for the beauty of their sound and appearance, as well as for their stability and mechanical reliability.
Yves Beaupré - himself a harpsichordist - draws his inspiration from the main schools of harpsichord-making. By visiting important collections of historic instruments, including those in Antwerp, Edinburgh, Paris, and Washington, he has intensively studied representative models of these schools. He respects the traditions of his craft in his choice of materials, dimensions, and acoustic properties. He is convinced, nevertheless, that understanding and interpreting tradition results in instruments that are artistically and musically superior to slavish copies. Each Yves Beaupré harpsichord is an original.
Instruments can be expertly, tastefully, and appropriately decorated by Danièle Forget."

"I came to the mechanical trades after studying music at Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. In Boston, I took a diploma in piano technology under Bill Garlick and earned guild qualification as a tuning examiner. Since 1985 I have built 100+ fortepianos after Walter, Hofmann and Graf. My list of clients includes many fine players and institutions.
After some years in Amsterdam, I came to the Czech Republic in 1995. I found that various woods grown in the Czech Republic resembled those seen in old Viennese pianos.In fact it was written in 1823 that Conrad Graf preferred to get his soundboards from the Schwarzenberg Forest in Southern Bohemia, and indeed there is still the narrow Schwarzenberg Canal leading from the headwaters of the Moldau all the way to the Danube. A man who selects wood for violin makers chooses my logs from this forest.
My workshop is well equipped. In my own work I follow the information I have collected during museum research and restoration, most particularly preserving the measurements of soundboard and hammer mechanism. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

I have been making and restoring keyboard instruments in my own shop since 1977. During this time, I have restored instruments for regional and state museums and private customers. This has allowed me first-hand access to original instruments over a long period of time, and given me the opportunity to learn from them. This process has shaped my working habits and benefited my own instruments. Except for those listed as such, the instruments from my shop are not copies. They are based on research and restoration of several old instruments. Important details such as key ratio and dip or jack weight are, however, faithfully reproduced in the light of the historic traditions.

"In addition to my regular building and restoration, I also offer a variety of services regarding the stringing of historical pianos, both originals and copies. These include the interpretation of existing gauge marks, the devising of entirely new stringing schedules when no marks are present and the design and fabrication of wound bass strings of all types and materials, both open and closed wrapped. I rely upon a combination of evidence drawn from original instruments, information gleaned from original piano making manuals of the 19th century, and a sophisticated computerized analysis technique. Surviving strings are faithfully copied in wrapping form and hitchpin loop. Bass core wires are always pre-stretched before wrapping until they stabilize at 80% rupture load in order to assure rapid stability of pitch once mounted and prevent in-situ stretching which can create loose wraps. Modern steel core stock is never used, and every attempt is made to find the best possible solution from among the various available "historical" wire types."

The hospital in Rangely is threatening to cut off ambulance service to the western half of a remote neighboring county.
An Eastern Plains hospital is struggling for survival and asking the state for rescue plans.
Small hospitals in the San Luis Valley are merging to ward off financial dangers.
A new round of crises and challenges in rural Colorado medicine has health experts and public officials on alert, scrambling to shore up services in far-flung areas. While metro hospitals thrive and compete by adding perks, small providers in the country are patching holes.
"How do we keep some level of care, even if it's just stabilizing care, in these very small communities?" said Randy Kuykendall, interim director of EMS for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. "It's an ongoing battle."
Fast-aging rural communities rely more on Medicare payments, which are being trimmed by the sequestration and other measures. Small hospitals must work harder to recruit doctors and other providers who can bring in revenue. Ambulances see declining payments from Medicare and Medicaid, with rising costs for fuel, equipment and staff benefits.
Counties, towns and strapped hospital districts are trying to stay creative as they adapt or die:
• The Rangely District Hospital, in Rio Blanco County in the far northwest corner of the state, told Dinosaur and other small towns in next-door Moffat County it could no longer extend ambulance service.
Moffat County towns Craig and Maybell have their own ambulance services for the eastern and central parts of the sprawling county. But they are 90 and 60 miles away, respectively, from Dinosaur and other communities close to the Utah border.
"When you need an ambulance, 90 minutes later is not when you need it," said Tom Soos, Moffat County's emergency services director.
• The 12-bed hospital in Cheyenne Wells near the Kansas border put out an open call to the community in the spring on whether the hospital should stay open, citing new costs for everything from minimum staffing levels to a new sprinkler system.
"That hospital is struggling," Kuykendall said.
The hospital, Keefe Memorial, asked the state to help with a rare review of local emergency services. The state allows a licensure category below a full acute-care hospital, calling it a "community clinic" with emergency services. The town and the county will have to decide what they can live with, Kuykendall said.
• Ambulance companies in small towns are giving up independence in the face of declining Medicaid payments, the high cost of diesel on long runs and other pressures.
Logan County in northeastern Colorado lost a private ambulance service in late 2011. The fire department in Sterling, the largest city in the county, took over ambulance services for the region.
Morgan County, next door, has a county-sanctioned ambulance service that gets no tax money and has talked openly of budget struggles. Survival there is "year to year," the director said, but officials have given up the idea of a new taxing district to create more stable financing.
Summit County's ambulance service has run an annual deficit averaging $460,000 in recent years, with county commissioners making up the gap. Officials in the mountain county have reduced emergency staffing and are considering a county sales tax and other measures to shore up the budget.
• Two small hospitals in the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado merged this month to create a stronger system, with greater immunity to the financial problems besetting other rural institutions.
The former Conejos County Hospital in La Jara and San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center in Alamosa merged to encompass two hospitals and five clinics.
The two already cooperated in many areas before making the merger official July 1. The Alamosa hospital already had forged a partnership with the Centura group of hospitals, based in metro Denver, to send specialists to the valley more often.
The valley can't afford hospital closures — Alamosa is the only hospital delivering babies for six counties.
"We're certainly feeling all of the stresses happening in the marketplace, we're just a little bit bigger and a little more diverse," said Konnie Martin, chief executive of the merged hospitals. "And that's held off those stresses compared to a smaller hospital."
Occasionally, a small hospital scores a win that keeps it out of trouble, at least for a time — sometimes with a simple hire or two.
Melissa Memorial in Holyoke, like many small-town facilities, was desperate to attract full-time physicians and other medical personnel. Last year, it spent tens of thousands of dollars producing an upbeat, "welcome to Holyoke" video and hoped it would get circulation.
Chief executive John Ayoub said the video was part of a more optimistic spirit that helped the town get what it needed. The hospital sent the video to candidates with serious interest, to make sure they knew what the town was like before they traveled for an interview.
In nine months, Melissa has hired an M.D., a doctor of osteopathy and a nurse practitioner, Ayoub said. The hospital is in the black but took a hit along with other hospitals when the federal sequestration shaved Medicare payments.
Dinosaur is apparently going cross-border to solve its latest rural health problem.
The town is working on an agreement to replace Rangely's ambulance with services from Vernal, 34 miles away in Utah.
Moffat County commissioners still worry about even smaller towns, such as Elk Springs, which are beyond the Maybell service and not included with Dinosaur. They will meet with Rangely hospital officials before the Aug. 31 deadline to talk about solutions, said commissioner Chuck Grobe.
"They were pretty blunt in their letter," Grobe said. "We'll do what we can, but the bottom line is, we don't have the funds."

The FCC has released a new report blaming Verizon and Frontier Communications for widespread and largely preventable service outages during a major storm that hit the mid-Atlantic region in June of 2012. After the storm knocked out power grids in parts of Virginia and West Virginia, key generators failed to start, leading to widespread outages in landline phone service. As a result, thousands of 911 calls failed to connect.
The storm, which hit the Washington DC metro area and parts of West Virginia and Ohio, was a "derecho," characterized by strong, straight-line winds. Unlike hurricanes, derechos can crop up suddenly and therefore don't give service providers much time to prepare for them.
Still, the FCC says Verizon did have some warning that its network was not ready for prime time. Unfortunately, it failed to move quickly enough to address the problem. Verizon's records show that two days before the storm hit, a generator in the company's Arlington central office failed a routine reliability test. When the storm hit, the generator failed, leaving the office on battery power which only lasted for a few hours. As a result, the office was without power for about 8 hours on the morning of June 30.
"The failure of backup power at the Arlington central office directly resulted in the loss of 9-1-1 service to residents in northern Virginia, key switching capabilities, and virtually all of Verizon's network monitoring capabilities in the area," the FCC reports. "These high-impact failures could have been prevented, or at least mitigated," through the use of "best practices and other sound engineering practices."
A Verizon central office in Fairfax, Virginia, suffered a similar fate. The Fairfax office had two different generators that were supposed to power equipment on different floors of the building. But one of them failed, and the battery failed before it could be replaced. Indeed, when a technician arrived on the scene the next morning, he checked the working generator but didn't notice that the other generator had failed for several hours.
Frontier Communications, which operates a telephone network in West Virginia, also suffered outages due to generator failures. But these failures affected fewer people in the sparsely populated state.
Overall, the FCC says that 17 Public Safety Answering Points—the call centers that accept 911 calls—completely lost connectivity due to these network failures. Eleven centers failed in West Virginia, four occurred in Virginia, and 2 in Ohio. Several dozen other call centers suffered from overloaded circuits or other problems.
The report was more positive about how the nation's major wireless carriers handled the storm. "Cell site outage rates during and after the storm varied by provider and jurisdiction, but were modest both in number and duration in comparison to other superstorms or hurricanes," the report said.
In the first two days after the derecho, about 10 percent of cell phone towers in the affected area were unreachable. By the fourth day, the number of outages had declined to about 2 percent. "Impacts on service were not nearly as pervasive as might have been expected, and most outages were rectified relatively quickly," the FCC concluded.
The FCC wants Verizon and other network operators to make their networks more reliable in the face of natural disasters. The commission says that network operators should ensure that central offices have redundant power supplies and that these backup systems be tested regularly and replaced promptly when they fail those tests. It also suggested a greater effort to eliminate single points of failure in the telephone network so that operators can quickly route around failed equipment and keep most of the network operating smoothly.
The FCC's investigation was mostly conducted prior to Superstorm Sandy, which devastated the Northeast in late October. The commission says it expects a future report to examine the "widespread and severe impacts on communications" produced by that natural disaster.

Since he did, he nodded at this point.
He took a deep breath and extremely gradually turned the knob and pressed it open. On the bed lay a definitely stunning female, totally naked. She stayed up when she heard him can be found in,
Jae ventured into the living-room, which was expensively provided, suggesting that your house didn't come from somebody in the working class of that time. The dining-room was rather sophisticated and the corridor that was covered with thick red carpet led him to the staircase. He really silently tipped toed up the stairs, searching in 2 bed rooms and restroom prior to getting to a closed door.
He 'd just been dealing with his job for about 4 months when he made a remarkable development and he could not wait to evaluate his strange looking automobile that looked a bit like a bike minus the wheels. As he strapped himself into the seat he could not assist feeling a bit nervous.
He usually completed operate in the laboratory at 5.30 and after that he 'd consume some sandwiches, make some coffee and calm down to 3 or 4 hours of taking things apart and putting them together once again in various setups. As unusual as it sounds Jae really thought he might construct a time device comparable to the one H G Wells blogged about.

When Martin Halsey hired Jae Robertson to operate in his engineering laboratory he consented to let him utilize the backroom to do his own jobs in his own time. This was a 30X30 area stacked with a great deal of old scrap, primarily left over from experiments that failed.
Quickly he and the device were bathed in blue light that rapidly turned to gold and when it emerged once again the environments had actually altered. Now he understood that he 'd made it, his time maker worked-- it actually worked.
" I desire my child to be smart and healthy, I have these qualities and if she's ideal and you do too-- I'm going to have a kid I can be pleased with."
Since he didn't understand what the fuck to state, he didn't address.
" Ellen McCormick stated if anybody might provide me an infant you could," she started, looking him up and down undoubtedly interested by his denims and Tshirt, "You definitely look fit and she informs me that you have a degree in science or something."
" Mr. Smith I presume?"
He was an intense, attractive young person however related to by the majority of his buddies back in London as a geek and by the individuals in the little English town where he had actually transferred, as entirely mad. Jae could not keep a girlfriend due to the fact that he 'd talk constantly about Quantum Mechanics which's not what a lot of ladies wish to hear, especially when you're fingering their vajajay.
Your home was entirely quiet however he was still a little worried about taking a look around. Regardless, he felt he simply could not simply climb up back on the seat and go back to 2014 without a minimum of a little expedition.
" Your spouse can't offer you kids?"
" I do not have a spouse, I'm a Proud and lesbian of it, I do not require some guy to meet my dreams I simply require a kid."
He cleared his throat questioning what to state next as she got a little impatient,

Jae ventured into the living space, which was expensively provided, suggesting that the home didn't belong to somebody in the working class of that time." I must get pregnant," she stated, "This is precisely the ideal time both from a biological point of view and from what my astrologist informs me. He did not select up the cash, he simply doodled and took the pad, I am not Mr. Smith, I am a time tourist from the year 2014. Jae chose that he 'd put his time travel strategies on hold for a couple of months while he made some adjustments to his gizmo.
She saw his doubt and guaranteed him that she would not simply anticipate him to just fertilize her. "I'll draw your dick for you if that's what you desire, I'll groan and groan and yell if that makes you fuck me much better."
She covered herself up in the bed covers and simply sighed as if she currently felt the delight of motherhood. Jae dressed and went down stairs. He did not select up the cash, he simply doodled and took the pad, I am not Mr. Smith, I am a time tourist from the year 2014.
" Don't inform me you're just helpful for one fuck," she snapped, shaking her head.
When he will blow his load he ended up being singing, and she, attempting to prevent providing the impression that she was enjoying it simply took brief breaths as if she was panting. It felt as though his balls were on fire when he blew his load deep into her cavity and she kept him firmly and smiled as though her goal had actually been attained.
" Do you actually need to draw them," she asked as he took one nipple excitedly in between his lips and after that the other. He neglected her remark since, whether she fancied him or not-- he definitely fancied her.
" I must get pregnant," she stated, "This is precisely the correct time both from a biological perspective and from what my astrologist informs me. If I ought to require your services once again, compose down how I get in touch with you. You'll discover a note pad on the cabinet in the kitchen area in addition to your charge.

Her nipples were remarkably put up and he kept licking and drawing for some time. She didn't attempt to rush him up, in reality, he believed he heard her whimper a couple of times.
Jae chose that he 'd put his time itinerary on hold for a couple of months while he made some adjustments to his device. He typically thought about the lady, whose name he didn't even understand and questioned if she 'd had his infant back there in 1935. One day, while waiting at a downtown taxi rank he got an actually huge shock when a gray-haired old woman came up to him and stated, "Are you my daddy?"
She sighed impatiently however took a seat next to him and utilized her long sensual fingers to explore his balls and to move the skin carefully up and down. As he had actually forecasted it took no time at all at all and quickly it was stiff, all set and throbbing for action.
" Just carefully massage it," he responded, "It will be as difficult as a rock in no time."
He simply stood there with his mouth open for a couple of minutes however then the care employee, who accompanied her, said sorry, "I'm sorry sir-- Emily believes every male is her daddy."
After a while she pushed him away from her and extended her body over his face and took his cock into her mouth, her lips pushed the skin right back and then, with one hand she started to touch his balls. Jae was feeling exceptionally ecstatic and got hold of the within of her thighs, requiring his head up so he might run his tongue up and down her fracture.
She got up from the bed, visited the dressing table and taking a scarf she spit his residue into it. When she reversed she instantly saw that his dick was flagging a little.
" Come on get your clothing off and let's do it."
Jae was getting horny, after all, he was speaking to a stunning naked lady and her sexually orientation didn't appear to matter. He rapidly removed his clothing, ever conscious that the genuine Mr. Smith may show up anytime and beat the shit out of him.
As quickly as he withdrew the environment was devalued from among enjoyment and expectation to pure company.
When he had actually removed off she simply lay back on the bed with her arms extended behind her. He went up onto the covers, straddled her legs with his knees each side and produced her huge luscious looking tits.
Now he understood that he 'd made it, his time maker worked-- it actually worked.
She lightened up and laughed when he got hold of her and tossed her onto her back. He increased his rate and she dug her fingernails into his back as he went much faster and quicker.
