TDR Waveguides for MiniTRASE
The standard Buriable Waveguide is designed to be installed permanently in the soil, and allows measurements to be made at any depth in the soil profile. The waveguide rods are 20 cm long and made of 0.3 cm diameter stainless steel rods.
Weight: 0.38 lbs (0.17 kgs)
The Coated Buriable Waveguide is designed for use where salinity or the presence of chemicals in the soil may make it difficult to make accurate measurements. The central waveguide rod is coated with a special plastic which reduces signal loss and allows measurement under difficult situations.
The Mini-Buriable Waveguide is designed for use in making near-surface shallow measurements, and in laboratory column studies. The rods are 8 cm long, with a 2.5 cm spacing between the outer rods, 3 meter cable length.
The waveguides can also be installed permanently in the soil so that periodic measurements can be made in the same location by simply attaching the connector to the waveguides, without disturbing the soil by repeated insertions of the waveguides. An Alignment Block is available which helps maintain the proper waveguide spacing during installation, especially helpful when inserting longer waveguides. Waveguides, ordered separately, are available in lengths ranging from 15 cm to 70 cm.
Length: From 8cm (Mini Buriable Waveguide) to 100cm (For use with waveguide connector).
Mini Buriable Waveguide cable length: 3 meter.
Standard and Coated Waveguide cable length: 2 meter.

A reader recently asked me to name cities where it's cheaper to own a property than rent. That's a big question, but easy to answer.
It's cheaper to own than rent in most.
How's that possible?
The secret is in the buy.
Perhaps a better way to phrase the question is to tell me either how much you're paying in rent, the amount of the house payment you're willing to cover, what neighborhood you'd like to be in, the amenities you're seeking and the amount of repair or maintenance you're willing to do.
Of course, it's paramount you have a conversation with a qualified loan officer to determine whether you can get a loan, as well as the price range we can shop in.
From there, we work the numbers backwards.
Remember, there's another unit or units paying a substantial portion of the mortgage. How much you pay in "rent" (in this case your share of the mortgage) is largely contingent on how much everyone else is paying.
Who pays the heat? This too could effect how much you pay.
How much are the property taxes? In a down market, is it possible for them to be reduced?
It's important to note that while in the state of Minnesota you do get something of a tax credit through a Certificate of Rent Paid, it pales in comparison to the tax deduction you receive for the amount of mortgage interest you pay.
Oh? And if you haven't owned a home in the last three years, the government will pay you $8000 to buy one before December 1.
And finally, don't forget. You get to depreciate the part of the property you don't live in.
Got a specific number or financial goal in mind? Let me know. I'd be happy to help you achieve it.

YouTube Deletes Video from Scott Adams' Channel
Google-owned YouTube shut down Dilbert Comic strip creator Scott Adams on Friday, stripping a video off the platform from the podcaster's channel without warning.
The Federalist posts the notice from Scott's Twitter feed where it is currrent the "pinned" tweet.
Real Coffee with Scott Adams is the cartoonist's YouTube channel, where all the surrounding videos remain on the site.
The Federalist, a conservative site, notes that,
YouTube's censorship of Adams follows a recent company announcement that it would be removing any content critical of the 2020 election process alleging widespread voter fraud tipped the outcome of the November contest.
After preemptively declaring Republican claims of deceptive voter fraud as a conspiracy remaining to be proven in court, YouTube is still host to a wide range of other dangerous conspiracies across its platform, from ideas that President Donald Trump is a Kremlin agent to the idea that aliens build the Egyptian pyramids.

Boo hoo. I stopped reading Dilbert and tossed the reprint books upon learning that Adams was yet another Trump enabler and/or apologist. Be as Republican as you want but if 4 years of lies, corruption, misogyny, racism, and support of White Nationalism doesn't change your mind, the only conclusion I can reach is that you can't read.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Judge hits both sides in Anchorage LIO suit
A lawsuit challenging the legality of the Anchorage Legislative Information Office lease will continue, but neither side came out of a court ruling unscathed.
Anchorage District Superior Court Judge Patrick McKay wrote in a Jan. 7 order denying a defendants' motion for summary judgment that the filer of the suit, Anchorage attorney James Gottstein, waited an unreasonably long time to file the suit.
At the same time, McKay found that the Anchorage LIO owners could in a roundabout way benefit from the building lease being voided.
The building is owned by 716 LLC — the Downtown Anchorage LIO address — a real estate partnership in which longtime Anchorage developer Mark Pfeffer is a primary member.
Gottstein filed the suit on March 31, 2015, claiming the 10-year, $281,638 per month lease the Legislative Affairs Agency agreed to is illegal because it is not 10 percent below market value, a requirement for state lease extensions that do not go through a competitive bidding process.
Legislative Affairs and 716 West Fourth Avenue agreed to expand and renovate the old 23,600 square-foot Anchorage LIO in September 2013 and Gottstein became aware of the agreement a month later; however he did not file suit at that time despite expressing concerns over the legality of the agreement, according to court records.
Construction commenced in December 2013 and the new 64,000 square-foot building was finished in January 2015.
Gottstein contends on his office's website that the lease, which he claims equates to $7.15 per square foot, is well beyond the market rate of about $3 per square foot for Downtown Anchorage office space.
On a total square-foot basis, the monthly lease works out to about $4.40 per square-foot, while the usable square-foot lease rate is higher.
Pfeffer told the Journal in a previous interview that the building was renovated specifically to meet the Legislature's unique layout and on-site parking requirements and therefore has no equal in the market.
The new Anchorage LIO has been appraised multiple times at $44 million by several banks who financed the construction and the long-term debt. Pfeffer, caught in the middle of what has become a political issue, has offered to sell the building to the Legislature for 716's financial obligation on the building — about $37 million — or millions less than its appraised value. An appraisal of the LIO conducted by the Alaska Housing Finance Corp. estimated the value at $48.5 million.
McKay's order notes that Gottstein, president of the adjacent Alaska Building Inc., collected $25,000 in fees and rent from 716 and the contractor before filing the suit.
"The court views Mr. Gottstein's financial gains as acquiescence and, combined with the 17 months (he) waited to bring the lawsuit, this delay seems 'unreasonable,'" the judge wrote.
If the lease is found "illegal, null and void," 716 and Legislative Affairs could renegotiate to a rate 10 percent below market value, which could force Pfeffer and his partners to refinance the building over a longer term and thus incur harm, the order reads.
Additionally, the building's unique characteristics may not find anyone to lease the full space on similar terms and incur harm that way.
"On the other hand, in the event that the court declares the lease 'illegal, null and void,' and the parties are unable to reach a new agreement, 716 will be able to lease the building at a greater rate since it claims the current rate is 10 percent below the market value," Judge McKay wrote. "Indeed, 716 may even benefit from a finding that the lease is 'illegal, null and void.'"
In its arguments, Legislative Affairs argued it could be harmed because of the $7.5 million the Legislature contributed to the building improvements. McKay wrote that if the lease is found null and void, "the Alaskan taxpayers will be saving potentially much more than the original $7.5 million. It remains a question of fact whether the LAA would ultimately forfeit the original $7.5 million it spent on improvements since the lease makes no specific mention of such a contingency."
Impact of LIO move
The messy Anchorage LIO situation has become political, with Anchorage minority Democrats and legislators from outside the city saying the state should break its lease because it cannot afford the building when Alaska is facing a $3.5 billion annual budget deficit.
During a Dec. 19 meeting at the Anchorage LIO, the Legislative Council, which directs the Legislative Affairs Agency, voted to move out of the building unless a lease rate equal to what the Legislature would pay in the state's nearby Atwood Building can be negotiated.
Breaking the lease would technically be legal because of a "subject to appropriation" clause that voids the lease if the Legislature votes to not fund it.
Pfeffer, some legislators, and state financial experts have warned that walking away from a roughly $26 million remaining obligation would hurt the state's credit rating at a time when Standard & Poor's just downgraded Alaska's debt rating because of its fiscal problems and current lack of a plan to address them.
"716 has acknowledged that the State is in a different fiscal environment now than when the lease was legally signed in 2013. Mindful of this reality, 716 West Fourth Avenue, LLC has indicated its willingness to work with the Alaska Legislature to find a pathway to savings," spokeswoman Amy Slinker said in a formal statement.
Gabe Petek, Standard & Poor's primary credit analyst for Alaska, told the Journal Jan. 8 that the state walking away from a subject-to-appropriation lease likely wouldn't impact rating agencies' view of Alaska because the action is a way to reduce spending in the larger budget picture.
"In a perverse sort of way it can be a strengthening — (legislators) have the ability when push comes to shove to push things around a little bit. People on the other end of it may not like it, but from the standpoint of the investors and the bondholders it can actually be a protective attribute, I guess," Petek said. "We're primarily focused on (the state's) ability to fund their debt payments in full and on time on their debt that's out in the public debt markets."

Saturday &: Juke Ross - David Ellington
Juke Ross - Not A Blade Of Grass.
Background - For over 100 years Venezuela has tried to claim that a vast swathe of Guyana, an area west of the Essequibo River that is home to indigenous villages and mining camps, abundant with deposits of gold, diamonds, bauxite and other minerals, belongs within its borders. Last year tensions escalated once again after Exxon Mobil, conducting work on behalf of the Guyanese government, discovered oil off the shores of the disputed land; Venezuela tried to stake a claim to the oil.
During another border dispute flare up in the 1970s one of Guyana's favourite musical sons - Dave Martins, was inspired by a Native American Chief's speech refusing to bow to the white man's invasion of their land and wrote a resistance song for his countrymen. It instantly connected with his people and became part of Guyanese folklore.
"The Chief spoke about his people's love for their land," recalls Dave Martins, leader of the legendary Tradewinds. "That they would not give up one river, not one buffalo, not one valley, not even one blade of grass. In a flash, it hit me; that was the way to write the border song – it should talk about Guyanese love for Guyana and not mention Venezuela at all."
The lyrics are simply incredible. Beautifully crafted, defiant and relevant today to Guyana and just about anyone else who ain't into backing down. Guyana has also produced another musical son - Juke Ross, who possesses a voice that God took special time to pour out when he was depositing the gold, diamond and oil in the depths of Guyana. The universe will undoubtedly be hearing a lot more from Juke Ross in the future, but until such time he has, with Dave Martins' blessing, recorded a cover of Not A Blade Of Grass. The 2016 iteration sees Serani commanding the production and is being released in time for Guyana's 50th Independence Anniversary.
This is such a beautiful song, whether you know of the history behind it or not. Juke has an infectious voice, and the delicate harmonies and finely structured music that sit behind his vocals are a delight.
David Ellington - Goin' To Church.
Background promo - Blue Canoe Records has released "Marbles From A Drawer", from versatile keyboard player David Ellington. "Marbles From A Drawer",produced by Coy Bowles of Zac Brown Band, features many acclaimed guests and focuses on smoky, keyboard-based blues that is contemporary while still maintaining an old school presence. David Ellington grew up in Connecticut learning in as many musical situations as possible. From garage bands to church and school bands, he viewed all of these musical experiences as ways to learn. After high school, Mr. Ellington continued his education in Boston at Berklee College of Music.
He moved to New Orleans,Louisiana in 1983 where he played and recorded with many local legends including Walter "Wolfman" Washington and Troi Bechet among others. Mr. Ellington also created afro cuban jazz group Chevere during his time in New Orleans. Cheer recording "Baila Mi Ritmo"was chosen by Times Picayune music critic Keith Spera as one of the Top 20 recordings of 2001. During this time, he continued learning as he studied under Ellis Marsalis."Marbles From A Drawer" begins in sultry fashion with "Goin' To Church". Mr. Ellington captures the listener's ear with an expanding groove that gets deeper and funkier as the track breathes. It fills senses while remaining simple at heart. As the keyboard foundation gives way to a sizzling guitar solo, the interplay between players gets bigger while maintaining its simplicity and catchy feel. At the end, the audience is left wanting more while their feet are still tapping.
On "98 Bottles", Mr. Ellington features Clay Cook on vocals. Mr. Cook is famous for co writing hits with John Mayer including "No Such Thing" which won the 2003 ASCAP award for Most Performed Song. "98 Bottles" is a melancholy song about waiting remorsefully for a lost love. The haunting keyboard textures add to the wistful regret as the vocals build and fade. Ellington and Cook combine to move the listener as the track ends in a dream-like fade.
Not the whole song sadly but a flavour of what are eight fine songs on the recent album 'Marbles From A Drawer'. Worth a mention at the very least, and a style of music popular with a good number of our regular visitors.

The business world is full of silly sounding or near-meaningless corporatespeak clichés. Even worse, everyone repeats 'em until they become official. Like most industries, private equity has its own ridiculous language.
In the spirit of holiday light-heartedness, my Buyouts colleagues and I compiled some layman's explanations of our favorite PE clichés, with everything from "Proprietary deal flow" to "Value add."
So remember, this is what journalists really think when we hear boiler plate clichés. Feel free to add your own. Feel very free. Happy New Year!
Top quartile: The most variable form of measurement on earth.
1 + 1 = 3: PE Math
1 + 1 = 11: Delusional PE Math
Partnering With Management: "We promise not to destroy and pillage the business your family has built for many generations."
Stick to our knitting: "We are inflexible and fear change."
Value add: (noun) What private equity firms think they do. Picture them injecting the value with a turkey baster.
Add value: The way they do it. "We add value with our value add."
Value creation: Sometimes they whip it up from scratch.
Operating expertise: The source of value. Without it you're just a financial engineer.
Financial engineering: The ghetto of private equity! Can not add value! Bad! Deny! Abort!
We Drink The Kool-Aid: "We turn a blind eye to impending disaster."
Proprietary deal flow: Everyone has this. You must have this. It's the loge box of deal flow. Auctions, those are the cheap seats
Flight to quality: Lenders today are very busy flying to the Land of Quality.
Thought leadership: Indicates there is such a thing as Thoughtless Leadership.
JAMBOG (just another mid-market buyout group): Just run from anyone who uses this term.
Blocking and tackling/Hitting singles and doubles not home runs/What inning are we in/What sports metaphor are we in: "We will do anything to make business sound more exciting than a bunch of dudes pouring over spreadsheets."
Roll up our sleeves: difficult in a suit, please leave to consultants.
Dry powder: Backups. PE firms like to "sit on" their backups. See also: War Chest
Quality revenue: Some dollars are worth more than others.
Perfect Storm: Gawker said it best.

I was walking through the park with one of my caseworkers in December when she paused, looking like she had some bad news.
"I don't know how to tell you this," she started. "The housing list has slowed to a stop. There's no new units and no one's getting placed. They've closed the list entirely, no new people can get on. You're looking at another two or three years wait at least."
What could I say to that? It's not like she could pull an apartment out of a hat for me. And, besides, it would give us time to save, not our haphazard saving where we put $50 away for moving then use it for groceries, but real saving.
Three weeks later I got a call from someone I didn't recognize. He turned out to be the housing manager and he had a one bedroom apartment for me alone, available this summer. Which is great for me but Colin needs to find a place too. Not only that but he needs to save last month's rent and a moving van. I don't need last month's rent.
We're looking but it's going to be hard. So many rooms have high expectations. Must be female… over fifty… have two positive reviews from landlords… good credit rating… full time job. He wanted to move into the building behind us but was told by disability he'd be kicked off if he did because, at $875/m, it was too expensive. Most one bedrooms are over a thousand dollars. And, of course, he needs money. Landlords don't take promises, they want cold, hard cash. And he doesn't have that. That's where you come in. I'm hoping that anyone who can afford it will donate something, no matter how small. And if you can't donate, please share. Right now Colin is so anxious and this will help.
Thank you!

Chess Openings - The Sicilian Defense
In response to 1. e4, one move stands out amongst the rest in terms of popularity. The Sicilian Defense is characterized by the counterthrust 1... c5. The opening is enormously popular amongst players of all levels, especially masters. In fact, the two strongest world champions of all time, Fischer and Kasparov, were devotees of the defense.
The main reason for it's popularity is that the Sicilian is a fighting defense. Black plays not only for equality, but for the advantage. The position is highly unbalanced, and there are a large number of exciting and combative variations. Often, both sides pursue attacks on opposite wings: white on the Kingside and black on the Queenside.
The advance of the c pawn attacks the critical d4 square, but does not further the development of any minor pieces. Because of this, white is usually allowed a temporary lead in development. The unbalanced position allows plenty of equalizing and attacking chances for black.
There is an extensive body of theory behind the Sicilian, with many well documented variations (such as the stirringly named Dragon Variation). Because of this complexity, the opening can sometimes be challenging for Novices to learn. If you choose to adopt the Sicilian, just make sure not to spend too much time memorizing long opening lines. As discussed previously, this is always a recipe for disaster!
How Common is The Sicilian Defense?
Very Common at All Level
If you are an e4 player, expect to face the Sicilian about 40% of the time. As you can see, the Sicilian is even more popular than 1... e5 (which is played about 30% of the time).

Today's Best Opera Singers: Sopranos and Mezzo-Sopranos
I like sharing my favorite opera singers and other musicians with others online.
Famous Opera Singers: 10 Popular Soprano and Mezzo-Soprano Singers of Today
There are few things that are as beautiful, stirring, and controversial as a classical singer. They have been stereotyped over their sound, their lifestyle, and even their weight; but I am here to tell you that if you actually listen, sopranos do not scream, you don't have to throw fits to be hired at the Met, and the fat lady on stage is something of a relic. Some of the most powerful and memorable melodies have been written for the opera stage, as well as incredible sacred works.
Some say that all the good ones are from past generations, and there will be an eternal war waged between those who idolize Callas and the adorers of Tebaldi. There are still whispers in the far corners of the opera world over whether or not Elizabeth Schwarzkopf was guilty of producing her high notes with tension, and a hush falls over those who have been inspired by Leontyne Price whenever her name is mentioned.
Yet others believe that the best torch-bearers for this generation are the so-called "cross-over artist," who sell occasional Handel and Mozart arias between more generally appealing folk and pop selections. Hayley Westenra, Charlotte Church, and others are perfect examples of this, and they have merit in their own right. But as performers of classical music, they lack credibility except for causing a few of their listeners to delve deeper into the classical tradition that they give a taste of.
But there are many women who are out to keep the tradition of classical singing alive and well, and this is a list of ten of them. Some are well established and possibly in the twilight years of their careers, while others are in their fresh-faced, beautiful beginnings. Some will never have a large following but will be loved by those they do reach with their music. Some will be icons, remembered and revered by thousands for years to come. All love their art and are doing their best to make others love it too. There is a word that can describe every one: bellissima.
1. Renee Fleming
The darling of the Met and one of the few modern American sopranos to gain worldwide recognition, Renee Fleming has rightly earned her moniker of "The Beautiful Voice." Not only does she have it all—the velvet voice, the technique, the looks, and the acting chops—she is becoming something of an icon and classic.
With a broad repertory and a reputation for being un-egotistical and easy to work with, she has worked hard to maintain a solid career, even dabbling in the pop world recently. But never fear, she has remained squarely in the classical world and is quite likely to stay there as the reigning queen of the American opera world.
Best of Renee: Fleming took Dvorak's Song to the Moon from an obscure aria to a famed piece of the repertoire, and her recording is still one of the best you will find.
2. Joyce DiDonato
Vivacious, energetic, and possessing a powerful mezzo-soprano, Joyce DiDonato is a rising star in the opera world. There's something very appealing about DiDonato, whether it's in her charismatic interpretations of characters or her general enthusiasm for the music she sings.
Not only is she passionate about what she does, but she also loves connecting with her public, an endearing quality in a world that is rife with snobbery. Listening to her is like seeing cream poured—her voice flows in rich, smooth waves that you never want to end. She is ever-broadening her repertoire, from little-known Handel masterpieces to modern works, giving the same energy to everything she does.
Best of Joyce: Mozart's aria Non so Piu from Le Nozze di Figaro highlights her sparkling high range and excellent interpretive qualities.
3. Cecilia Bartoli
Now here is what the opera world loves best—a self-contradicting diva with lots of drama. This Italian mezzo-soprano is famous for her brilliant coloratura, her engaging stage presence, a love of the obscure Baroque and Classical repertoire, and of course the ability to pull off much of the soprano literature.
For most singers, this would be suicide, but Bartoli does it all with flair as is evidenced by numerous awards, both from the US and Europe, as well as the adoration of audiences everywhere. With immense talent and a voice that seems to get even better as it ages, Bartoli has been and remains an operatic force to be reckoned with.
Best of Cecilia: Casta Diva, with all the sighings and melodrama your heart could desire.
4. Barbara Bonney
If you mention the name Barbara Bonney, there may not be many faces that light up with recognition, but it certainly is not her fault. A nearly perfect technique, combined with a silky, natural-sounding voice make her a top-notch singer.
Her chosen path in lesser-known music hasn't given her the limelight she deserves, but if you listen to her recordings, it's not likely that you won't become a Bonney fan. Also, she recently formed the Bonney Foundation to help give young singers a good musical education and a strong career start.
Best of Barbara: He Shall Feed His Flock Like a Shepherd from Handel's Messiah.
5. Anna Netrebko
The Russian soprano who set the opera world on its ears, Netrebko is not only musical, beautiful, and wildly popular, she is pretty much the height of the opera stratosphere. Her soprano is strong and doesn't have any kind of shrillness, even on the top of her range. Although she has her detractors, her interpretations are intense and passionate, and she has begun to prove herself capable of some of the most difficult roles in the repertoire.
Best of Anna: She delivers O Mio Babbino Caro more believably and movingly than most can, and that's saying something for one of the most popular showpieces.
6. Yulia van Doren
Young and talented, Yulia van Doren is coming into her own as a first-class soprano specializing in Baroque music. Her collaborations with Dawn Upshaw have achieved great acclaim and she has great promise, if not the fame to accompany it yet.
A colloratura voice that shimmers perfectly on Handel's showpieces, and still has the depth to deftly sing Bach's serious sacred works is a rare find, but van Doren handles it all well. The fact that she specializes, no matter how well she does it, is something of a handicap, but she does have the talent to do it as successfully as possible.
7. Angela Gheorghiu
A thorough-going diva with a golden voice, who lives up to all one expects when one thinks of a leading lady. Though she keeps up lots of drama in real life, she has plenty of it left for the stage and is a well-rounded performer with a silky soprano that can keep up with the best of them. Her performances of the Italian repertoire are most acclaimed, and a great stage presence rounds out her giftings.
Best of Angela: Her duets with former husband Roberto Alagna from Romeo et Juliette and La Traviata are delightful in their rapport and artistry.
8. Dawn Upshaw
Technically sound, a charming voice, and charismatic, communicative performances make Dawn Upshaw a delightful singer. She's stayed mostly in the American audience, with an emphasis in her career on recital performances and smaller works.
A lack of universal fame shouldn't put any tarnish on her name though; she is a first-class singer and can perform a broad repertoire. A 2006 battle with cancer has set her back some, but she's pulled through and is continuing to perform, if not as much as in former years.
Best of Dawn: The American repertoire is her strong suit, as well as her recent emphasis on the works of Bach.
9. Elina Garanca
Latvian Elina Garancas is a package deal. She has a mezzo-soprano that is nearly flawless (especially in one so young), looks to kill for, and the ability to act while she's singing and looking good. Her interpretations lean toward the more subtle than DiDonato's overt expressions. In a mere ten years she has climbed to the top, being ranked with the likes of Netrebko and Bryn Terfel, and it seems that the best is yet to come.
Best of Elina: Her 2010 rendition of Carmen received great acclaim and is powerfully rendered, with lots of nuance.
10. Kathleen Battle
A soprano with a light agility of tone, Battle's voice is famous for it's purity of quality and deft coloratura. Though her opera career was cut short when she was fired from the Met in 1994 for "unprofessional actions", she still had enough credentials in having worked with the likes of Herbert von Karajan and James Levine to not disappear from the music world.
Battle has managed to maintain a career in a broad recital and recording repertoire, with her interpretations of Baroque, early Classical, and jazz music among her best. Especially breath-taking are her renditions of spirituals, a nod to her African-American roots that make them more emotive and powerful than practically any other recording you will find. Her voice, never having the largeness of most professionals, may be waning as she gets older, but Battle still has the voice and musicality to put on a good show.
Best of Kathleen: Rejoice Greatly and Were You There from the album Grace. If her spirituals don't send tingles down you spine, you may want to have your nervous system checked
There Are Talented Sopranos and Mezzo-Sopranos Everywhere
This is far from an exhaustive list; there are many other talented women on the stage today, and I would love to hear your favorites! These are just some of those that have universal appeal and the true artistry to back it up. I hope you enjoy discovering the uniqueness and beauty of each one.

No, no,no,no. Janet Baker and Christa Ludwig have far superior emotional depth and less histrionic than some of the above
maariana on April 27, 2019:
Joyce DiDonato remains my best. Her role as Isolier in the 2011 production of Le Comte Ory with Juan Diego and Diana Damrau was absolutely amazing. She is a force to be reckoned with in the world of opera . www.opereamaariana.com
Marya Berry on January 07, 2019:
"Yet others believe that the best torch-bearers for this generation are the so-called "cross-over artist"... artists, no?
"The Russian soprano who set the opera world on it's ears, Netrebko..." should be its, right?
I like your list a lot, but agree w others that it is not exhaustive.

Alexandra Yangel is gorgeous young mezzo

Anna Netrebko the very best soprano today!
Steve on February 22, 2016:
How could you ignore Jennifer Larmore? As good a Bartoli is, I'll take Larmore over her. Her "Non Piu Mesta" from Rossini's "La Cenerentola" is incredible!
Podge on October 25, 2015:
Where is Kozena ?? Kasarova ???, you need to get out more
George Gresham on June 06, 2015:
The Angel of Australia...Mirusia Louwerse would be very difficult to beat.
She has a pure, sweet, clear voice, which to me is perfect. I love to hear her sing "Solveig's Song" and many others
Davide on February 13, 2015:
Great list, but number one is missing. Diana Damrau.
Audrey Howitt from California on September 30, 2014:
Great list although not exhaustive I think!
collegatariat (author) on October 28, 2012:
That's incredibly beautiful! Such a clear, lovely voice. Thanks for sharing it.
orphenica on October 26, 2012:
Just take a look at that:
collegatariat (author) on July 30, 2012:
Hello Lzaus! What a blessing to live in such a culturally rich city as Chicago! I'm sure her artistic direction is more daring, based on the variety she's given her own career recently. Oh, and I would love to see Renee Fleming's rendition of Streetcar-- I'm sure it will be amazing! You'll have to stop back by and give a review when you've seen it.
Lzaus on July 29, 2012:
We live in Chicago and subscribe to the Lyric Opera. Not only does Renee Fleming bring her great voice to the Lyric, but she brought a new excitement to the audience. She is more daring than prior artistic directors and brings a wider range of opera to the stage. She doesn't perform in too many operas, but this year is doing Streetcar. We're looking forward to seeing her perform in it.
collegatariat (author) on May 30, 2012:
Cecilia does have a lovely voice. Personally, I aspire to sing like Elina Garanca in the future, but I've got lots of work to do... :)
Thanks for the comment singnmiss!
singnmiss from Southern US on May 29, 2012:
Cecilia Bartoli is one of my favorite opera singers--I hope to sing as well as she someday. :)
collegatariat (author) on February 12, 2012:
Thanks for stopping by Larry! I'll have to look Walli Giunta up-- being an amateur Mezzo myself, I love finding new ones to look up and study. I appreciate the recommendation, and I just might have to join the fan following.
Lawrence (Larry) Rosenfield on February 12, 2012:
I've loved opera since before I remember, thanks to my parents.I turned 70 years young last month and Thursday I'm going to The Met's HD download of Siegfried. Since I'm always on the lookout for the next great Mezzo you all need to pull up the web sight of Mezzo Walli Giunta, a Canadian that will give you goose bumps. She is also on YouTube. Opera Lovers it's worth giving a look and a listen. P.S. She also now has a growing fan following.
collegatariat (author) on February 09, 2012:
Hi StellaSee! Yes, Renee Fleming is pretty amazing, and definitely one of my favorites too. Thanks for stopping by!
StellaSee from California on February 08, 2012:
Renee Fleming is awesome, her voice is so versatile!
Winsome from Southern California by way of Texas on August 30, 2011:
You can listen here:
They are playing Gustave Mahler's Symphony No. 4 in G right now--so beautiful. =:)
collegatariat (author) on August 30, 2011:
Anaya, it is so wonderful to meet other opera lovers! I think most of us have gone underground or something. :) What a gift from your mom, making something so beautiful part of every day life.
collegatariat (author) on August 30, 2011:
Thanks for the link Winsome. He is incredibly good-- I like the depth his voice has, especially for a tenor. Too bad I'm no where close to that station in LA... I'll have to see what google can do for me. :)
Anaya M. Baker from North Carolina on August 30, 2011:
I've loved opera (especially the arias) since I was a kid and my mom played it well cleaning the house or cooking. These days I feel like its hard to find other people who actually appreciate it! Glad to see that the art is still alive and well...
Winsome from Southern California by way of Texas on August 29, 2011:
Hi C, no my little ipod/fm player as I'm getting ready in the morning is set to KUSC, which is one LA's best classical stations. They have some excellent winners this year. You can hear Lawrence Brownlee here:
collegatariat (author) on August 27, 2011:
Hello, Winsome! So nice to meet you too. I'll have to look up Lawrence Bownlee... he's got a great name if nothing else. :) Were you able to listen to the Met's auditions online? That sounds like it would be so much fun!
Winsome from Southern California by way of Texas on August 27, 2011:
Hi C--ha ha high C, how appropriate. I am so glad you wrote this. I was listening to the Metropolitan Opera's National Auditions this morning and for the first time, heard Lawrence Bownlee sing as a former winner guest. Wow! Now you've introduced me to Elina Garanca and I have to investigate her Carmen to see if the beauty of her voice matches that of her face.
Thank you C, so nice to meet you here. =:)

As this year comes to a close next month, Black Queen Speaks is just taking off! BQS had the amazing opportunity to play with some of rock's biggest bands in 2012 at some of Houston's coolest venues. These opportunities to play with nationally recognized acts started when BQS was asked to open for the American rock supergroup The Gracious Few in January 2011, featuring guitarist Chad Taylor, bassist Patrick Dahlheimer and drummer Chad Gracey from the band Live, along with lead vocalist Kevin Martin and guitarist Sean Hennesy from the band Candlebox at Warehouse Live.
We kicked things off in March at House of Blues (HOB) opening for the Bret Michaels Band, which was a great return to the hair metal that made the '80s so rad. Also this spring, BQS played alongside Evan's Blue at the Hard Rock Café, which was an awesome show for anyone lucky enough to be there.
In June, BQS partnered up with Mancuso Harley-Davidson Central and played their Thursday Live Music Night outside in the Texas heat with hundreds of bikers ready to rock to some great music. We will be back at it with Mancuso later next spring when they get their Live Music Nights fired up again, so plan to come out for Harleys, hot dogs and even hotter women! Also this past summer, Black Queen Speaks shared the bill with The Cult at House of Blues, which was quickly turning into our second home here in Houston.
Moving into the fall, BQS played with Houston's own The 71's at Fitzgerald's during their CD release party, which was a great chance to showcase some of our city's top talent. Around this same time, we played at the House of Brews event at HOB, helping to promote the awesome microbrew labels in our area. Then, in September, Black Queen Speaks played their biggest show yet, opening for Slash with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators and Foxy Shazam at the House of Blues. BQS was one of only 20 bands across the country hand-picked by the guitar god himself to share the bill. This might be the greatest honor yet for us as a band, and we were happy to put on one of our greatest shows yet!
Coming off the high of Slash in September, BQS took off for India, where we headlined one of the largest rock music festivals in the country, Synchronicity Fest. The experience was amazing, especially rocking out for the thousands of screaming fans and the unique opportunity to play with other international bands on the rise. Definitely a trip that will not be forgotten.
Just recently, Black Queen Speaks was back at the House of Blues again, opening for another great band of the '80s metal scene: Great White. We saw a lot of our old fans from Mancuso and converted a shit ton of new ones.
Despite all our amazing shows and growing success during this past year, BQS is even more excited about everything to come in the 2013. Just for starters, look for us at Houston's Beer Fest in June, Exposed Music Festival in the summer and plenty of great shows between now and then around the city.

Why can I no longer focus on objects up close?
Vision changes occur naturally as you age. When you reach your 40's, focusing at close range becomes difficult. This is a natural part of the aging process caused by a gradual hardening of the eye's crystalline lens, reducing its ability to change shape and focus. This condition is called Presbyopia.
What are progressive addition lenses and how do they differ from ordinary bifocals?
Progressive addition lenses feature a continuous, clear field of vision from distance, through the intermediate ranges, to near without the use of annoying bifocal lines.
Bifocal lenses use very old technology. Abrupt and awkward changes between distance and near prescriptions are separated by annoying lines that can be frustrating to wear.
Why are hight quality progressive lenses better than other progressive lenses?
High quality progressive lenses has conducted extensive clinical research, the result of which has produced a lens offering all presbyopes naturally comfortable vision never before achieved with a progressive lens.
Can I expect to have an adaptation period with my Progressive lenses?
Most individuals will learn to use their progressive lenses right away. Others may take a bit longer to become completely comfortable. Your eye care professional should be made aware of any extended adaptation period. A "fine-tuning" frame adjustment may be all that is necessary to assist in this initial period.
I have a strong prescription. How can I reduce the thickness and weight of my eyeglass lenses?
High quality progressive lenses are available in a variety of different materials that will reduce both thickness and weight. Smaller frames also reduce lens thickness and weight. Your eye care professional will consider prescription, frame size, and your individual lifestyle as factors in helping you decide which lens material will be best for you.
Do high quality progressive lenses come with scratch coating and ultraviolet protection?
Yes, ask your eye care professional for details.
What is the warranty on high quality progressive lenses?
Warranties on high quailty progressive lenses may vary among eye care professionals. It is important to understand warranties available to you from the eye care professional you plan to purchase your lenses from.
How can I obtain more information about high quality progressive lenses?
In addition to the information provided here, and elsewhere on this web site, your eye care professional is an excellent source of information about high quality progressive lenses and their specific applications to your individual prescription and lifestyle.

With which collective of people do you most identify? Robert Peston, in his recent book WTF, raises the important question of identity politics. He asks: When questioned, do you describe yourself as English or British? There appears to be a strong correlation between people who describe themselves as English and people who voted Brexit, and between those who describe themselves as British and those who voted to Remain. I'm sure that much could be written and implied about such a correlation, but I shall resist. Instead I want to first share my own personal response to the question, and then make some general comments about the (hopefully) continued evolution of humanity.
When asked a formal question regarding my nationality or country of birth I have always replied "British" or "UK". Reflecting on this response, however, it occurs to me that this is a likewise formal reply – I have always said it in a formal 'matter of fact' way, in a way devoid of any deep emotional attachment, and in a way that has little or no bearing on my political identity. And reflecting further, and no doubt opening myself up to a salvo of rebuke regarding elitism and privilege (none of which can possibly apply to my life), I would say that I actually identify myself as European. The whole structure of my thinking, my world view, has been developed by reading European philosophy, particularly French, German and Greek philosophy. And this philosophy cannot be separated from European literature, history and politics that, in various ways, has both promoted the spread of different philosophical approaches and caused them to go in and out of fashion. No, on reflection I am European – no other political identity comes anywhere close to explaining who I am. But is such an identity actually practical?
I can understand why someone would identify themselves differently, with a far smaller collective – one confined to a much smaller geographic area and one with a far greater degree of homogeneity. We have evolved to strongly favour our in-group – our tribe or community. Instinctively recognising a member of your own group through often subtle differences in physical characteristics and behaviour has had very obvious survival advantages. Through such instincts we have been able to assess the degree of threat from a person not personally known to us without the slow and cumbersome use of reason. During our evolutionary history our fledgling reason, in certain situations, has been too slow in assessing risk to life, and in many situations still is. Such evolutionary traits are surely at the root of human prejudices – our ability to 'pre-judge' a person based purely on a few simple characteristics. Instantly recognising a person as a stranger or non-member of our community, and as a result judging them as a threat to that community, has been a positive aid to human survival during our long evolutionary history. But this human trait has long passed it's sell-by date. Not only does it no longer offer a survival advantage, it actually threatens our survival.
Some people would use the above argument to justify prejudice, and many other human traits, as 'natural'. The fallacy of such an argument springs from the very nature of evolution itself – that evolution means evolution, that human traits are not fixed but adapt to circumstances. And the circumstances of human life on this planet have changed very drastically from those of our distant ancestors. One of the great problems we face is the relative speed (and acceleration) of social evolution in relation to biological evolution, and the struggle of the latter to keep up. Our current social life (and in this I include our political and economic life) is evolving at a rate quicker than it ever has in the past, largely on the back of technology that connects humanity across the world. Whether we like it or not we are becoming increasingly connected at the global level. Communities and groups of people who were once unknown to each other, and therefore not to be trusted, are now known. And once known, they no longer become such a treat. And of even greater importance, such treats that do exist can now be assessed through reason. But it's not just that global humanity is becoming known to us – in so many ways global humanity is becoming actually connected to us. It is now next to impossible for any community to be independent. In all aspects, the political, the economic and the environmental for example, human life is becoming connected at the global level – and we desperately need to see, understand and act on this bigger picture.
So I fear that even my identification with Europe is fast approaching its own sell-by date. It may explain where we've come from, but it neither offers a route map to where we're going nor, in evolutionary terms, offers much of a guide as to how humanity (a highly connected and inter-dependent humanity) will survive the many threats to its existence. We need to identify with a global humanity – a global species that needs to learn to respect and understand its relationship with the whole of the ecosystem in which it is embedded. This is a big ask. It is oh so much easier to identify with a relatively small and clearly defined group of similar people. But such an easy and comforting identification will, in all likelihood, prevent us from seeing the bigger picture upon which our long term survival depends.

The buzz around professional party-circuit players LMFAO's second album, Sorry For Party Rocking, is still going strong. The group's success has largely involved cultivating a public image resembling an extreme version of the most ridiculous hipster archetype.
But it didn't always used to be that way, with one half of the group, the be-afroed Red Foo, having attempted a previous career as a learned, back-packerish underground rapper back in the mid-'90s.
As an image change, Red Foo's about-turn is an extreme one, but he's not alone in realizing that in hip-hop, sometimes breaking through and getting paid is more about your image than the music you make. Here then are five of the most drastic — but successful — hip-hop image changes. (NSFW: They often involve rappers wearing terrible suits.)
5. LMFAO's Red Foo
With a "party rock" agenda, a propensity for dressing up in leopard-skin-print spandex, and songs hooked around deep concepts like, "I'm in Miami, Bitch," the LMFAO duo of Red Foo and SkyBlu have successfully managed to turn the idea of novelty rap into a lucrative-enough career. But Red Foo's musical past contains an altogether more sobering chapter, as he cut his rap chops as part of Red Foo & Dre Kroon, an independent hip-hop duo who gained some underground repute with 1996's studious "Life Is A Game Of Chess" vinyl 12-inch. An album called Balance Beam followed the next year, with input from West Coast indie rap staples Evidence and DJ Revolution. It's a past the now-outlandish Red Foo seems happy to cop to — when I interviewed him at the tail-end of 2009, he said he's still proud of "Life Is A Game Of Chess" — although a more recent series of spoof spots attempting a search for Dre Kroon failed to go viral. With a nice nod towards continuity, Red Foo's afro was still in blooming effect back in the mid-'90s.
4. Everlast
Donning a clean-cut, slicked-back look and a wardrobe that seemed to alternate between skin-hugging tracksuits and badly-fitting suits, a teenage Erik Schrody somehow found himself as a fixture in Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate roster. Going by the rap name Everlast, "The Rhythm" outlined an oh so optimistic mission statement: "I'm Everlast, born to be a Caucasian/But it makes no difference what persuasion you are/As long as you know how to get up/Get on the floor, start working a sweat up." Alas, Everlast's 1990 debut album, Forever Everlasting, flopped — a move which prompted the rapper to go back to his family roots and dig up some hitherto unacknowledged Irish history, shave off his locks, get an ill-advised tattoo appearing to back the IRA-supporting political group Sinn Fein, and forge a career as the leader of rowdy rap chaps House of Pain. But while House of Pain's "Jump Around" has endured as a hip-hop anthem, Everlast's Catholic years proved to be a fleeting commitment, as he converted to Islam a little later in the '90s.
3. Dr Dre
Dr Dre is a master at launching rap careers of artists with distinctive and well-defined images; Snoop's languid, weed-sozzled vibe, Eminem's trailer park schtick, and 50 Cent's walking bullet-magnet appeal have all benefitted from the good Doctor's not-so-unseen hand. But if Dre's own big break came as part of public menaces N.W.A., his prior persona as part of electro group the World Class Wreckin' Cru attempted a far more sophisticated trick, which involved wearing the type of shiny suit jackets and (allegedly) make-up that presumably ensured entry to only the swankiest of nightclubs back in the early-'80s. Oh, and don't forget how anti-chronic he used to be.
2. The GZA & The RZA
Silk suits! Describing themselves in three words: "handsome, charming and freaky"! Rapping about tenderly holding a young lady's hand while whispering "Come do me" in her ear! Yep, the first hip-hop forays of RZA and GZA, the Wu-Tang Clan's de facto head honcho and lyrical scholar respectively, were far removed from the grimy, mud-sodden styles that the Clan would later use to revolutionize the rap industry. For their solo singles in 1991, The Genius and Prince Rakeem (as they were then known) pitched themselves as a pair of rapping lotharios, with RZA even suited-up in a tux and top-hat for his "Oooh, We Love You Rakeem" video. Thankfully, both projects bombed, allowing the rappers to retreat, disgruntled, and return two years later with a whole new uncompromising style announced by the Wu's awesomely-raw debut "Protect Ya Neck."
1. Lupe Fiasco
"You know I don't pop-pop at the bar/But I might send pop-pops through your car." Those are the firebrand boasts of Lupe Fiasco, who before finding a career as an antidote to rap's gangsta leanings attempted to blow-up by, er, positioning himself as a full-on, club-hopping gangsta type. Elsewhere in the song "Pop Pop," Lupe vows to "put the tool in your face," brags about how he's got the police, hustlers and gangstas "nervous," and details how he does all of the above while wearing alligator skin loafers. (He's a size ten, if you're feeling generous.) But when lil' Lupe realized that crime rhymes weren't going to pay for him, he wholesale flipped his image into some sort of conscious skateboarding rapper nerd who collects rare Japanese-edition Sylvanian Families figures. Nattily, the last couple of years have seen Lupe yet again develop a new persona for himself, as he seems to have ditched the idea of even attempting to make enjoyable music in preference for becoming a professional whinger and whiner.

WASHINGTON, May 24 -- Nationally syndicated television newsmagazine American Investigator has uncovered a "secret" memo from Attorney Janet Reno to FBI Director Louis J. Freeh indicating that the Justice Department and the FBI consider China to be among the nations posing the most serious threat to U.S. national security. The classified document contained the "National Security List" of countries that are considered hostile to US interests and are engaged in "espionage" against the U.S. The document was the source for the Washington Times headline in the May 24 edition.

By a vote of 63 to 33, with six Republicans joining Democrats, the Senate acted to cut off debate on a measure that would let President Obama declare an end to the Clinton-era policy, known as "don't ask, don't tell," which allows gay members of the armed forces to serve only if they keep their sexual orientation a secret. The vote indicated that there was easily enough support to push the measure to final passage."I don't care who you love," Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, said as the debate opened. "If you love this country enough to risk your life for it, you shouldn't have to hide who you are."
Let us resolve to ignore all pop campaign strategist masquerading as journalists. Majorities are meant to be fucking used.

Here is a link to the readings for this weekend.
Most of us can't imagine circumstances that would prohibit us from entering our parish church. But a Jewish woman of Jesus' time who was menstruating was prohibited by Jewish law from participating in communal prayer, in violation of the blood taboo, rendering all who came in contact with her unclean and in need of purification. The woman in today's gospel has endured exclusion from her religious community for twelve years, due to her untreatable gynecological problem. By touching Jesus, she renders him impure according to Jewish law.
That is just the first taboo we see here. The second is the death taboo: touch a dead body and you are also rendered impure. You will have to undergo ritual purification in order to participate in the community's life and celebrations. Touching the child's body renders Jesus impure.
Yet in those touches, worlds are transformed. The woman is healed of her disease; she may now rejoin community life. The girl is raised to life, restored to the family table, where she will soon blossom into womanhood.
Such is the new world that Jesus inaugurates. He overcomes every barrier and limitation—sickness, sin, gender, nationality, and death itself—so that we all can enter into communion with each other and with God. He offers life—fullness of life with each other and with God—here and in the life to come. .

As with any space that is being built from scratch, systems (electrical, HVAC, etc) are always the starting point. The workshop got an extra system: dust collection. It's a series of PVC pipes that ring the space and connect to a heavy-duty suction machine.
It's kind of hard to tell what's what in the photo above, so here are some handy arrows.
Dust collection in a workshop is important in terms of cleanliness and health. This space has zero outside venting so it was critical.
Besides the vacuum itself, the system is mostly built from 6″ PVC DWV pipe and fittings (which are remarkably hard to find.) Aaron started by creating a trunk line with one run for each side of the workshop. He used 45 degree angles for better air flow.
PVC can be glued, but he opted to use the same brand of pipe to ensure things would sit snugly. The screws give a little extra security and can be removed if the system needs to be cleaned out.
Here's the trunk line in place.
Blast gates section off the air flow. They keep the air running in one direction and to one tool to ensure maximum suction.
These parts don't fit perfectly with the PVC pipe because they're made for metal piping that costs twice as much as PVC. Obviously, PVC is much more economical for home workshops. The blast gates just need a bit of a hack. Aaron wrapped the fitting of the blast gate with electrical tape to give it a good seal.
Once the blast gates were in place on the trunk line, he extended PVC around the left side of the room, adding a wye connector at each tool. These connectors offer better air flow than a T connector because of the softer angle.
Every tool comes with a different type of hose to attach to a dust collection system. Aaron created custom adapters to reduce the line so that each tool's hose could connect.
He continued the install by running PVC across the space and down the right side of the room. This required some funky angles thanks to all the things on the wall in this area.
Here's the full line installed, just waiting for tool attachments.
Here are some of the tool attachments in action.
Everything gets sucked back to the machine and collects in the bottom bag for easy removal.
So far the system works great on most of the tools, except the miter saw, which is an older tool. We're blaming the tool, not the dust collection and Aaron is working on an adjustment for that.
As with most systems, this one was super necessary… but not super glamorous. What's on your summer reno list? Anything more exciting?
