President Trump Meets With Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu in Washington, D.C.
By DipNote Bloggers on February 15, 2017
Today, President Donald J. Trump met with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House in Washington, D.C. Following their meeting the two leaders delivered remarks to members of the press.
President Trump underscored the importance of the United States' relationship with Israel. "With this visit, the United States again reaffirms our unbreakable bond with our cherished ally, Israel. The partnership between our two countries built on our shared values has advanced the cause of human freedom, dignity and peace. These are the building blocks of democracy," he said.
Calling the state of Israel a "symbol to the world of resilience in the face of oppression," President Trump commented, "I can think of no other state that's gone through what they've gone -- and of survival in the face of genocide. We will never forget what the Jewish people have endured."
President Trump underscored his Administration's commitment to working with Israel and our common allies in the region towards greater security and stability. He added, "That includes working toward a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. The United States will encourage a peace and, really, a great peace deal. We'll be working on it very, very diligently. Very important to me also -- something we want to do. But it is the parties themselves who must directly negotiate such an agreement. We'll be beside them; we'll be working with them."
As President Trump concluded his remarks he broadly discussed the importance of peace, underscoring that "it requires nations to uphold the dignity of human life and to be a voice for all of those who are endangered and forgotten." The President continued, "Those are the ideals to which we all, and will always, aspire and commit."

He may have looked every inch the rock star on Wednesday night (June 5) at the 2013 CMT Music Awards in Nashville, but Lenny Kravitz swears that country music runs as deep as rock and psychedelia in his artistic veins.
Decked out in a sleeveless gold lamé shirt, shades and skintight gray leather pants, Kravitz hooked up with show co-host Jason Aldean for a classic rock workout on the Guess Who's "American Woman" that mostly traded twang for cranked-up, fuzzed-out guitar.
But speaking backstage before he strutted out to open the show, Kravitz said country music is a building block of his 25-year career.
"I've always got that little butterfly for two seconds," Kravitz said about his momentary anxiety before his performance debut at this year's CMT Music Awards. "But this is what I do, and it feels natural. It's a whole new crowd.
"You know, I've always had influences of country in my music, back to [1995's] 'Can't Get You Off My Mind' and songs like that. Country and rock 'n' roll and rhythm and blues all work together so well."
Kravitz said he and Aldean met through some mutual friends. They ended up hanging out together, and the rest, as they say, is history. Both men worked their Gibson Les Paul guitars to the max during the show and the mix of Aldean's grittier vocals and Kravitz's signature soulful wail proved to be a killer combo.
"Great vibe in the hall," he said as the clock ticked down. "I'm having a great time. What can I tell you?"
Clearly not much, since both he and Aldean let their fingers — and voices — do the talking once they took the stage.

I'm having my engine rebuilt for my 69Z and need to decide on the harmonic balancer. This is not a concourse car, but I try to keep it as original as my budget allows with particular attention to appearance.I am looking at these two.http://www.jegs.com/i/Professional+Products/428/80010/10002/-1?CAWELAID=1710581559&catargetid=1784162075&cadevice=c&&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CKDWhsGn3bgCFcOe4Aod6HMAZghttp://www.rickscamaros.com/camaro-crankshaft-harmonic-balancer-302ci-1969.htmlObviously one looks more 'original' than the other. Does this make much of a difference? One is much more expensive than the other, and I am not sure just how noticeable this will be. Thoughts?
You don't want the first one (the 6.1" one) - the 302 requires the heavy 8" balancer; the GM replacement most outfits sell will work fine, and will look pretty much original with the pulleys installed. The GM original is much more expensive, and has the face ribs that run all the way out to the edge of the hub.
I do have one but I can't bring myself to sell it

Chris Froome seals Criterium du Dauphine victory
Britain's Chris Froome firmly established himself as one of the favourites for the 2013 Tour de France as he claimed victory in the week-long Criterium du Dauphine stage race.
The 28 year-old, who will be riding for Team Sky, took the title from two-time winner Sir Bradley Wiggins who was absent due to injury.
Froome finished second on yesterday's final stage in the French Alps behind Italy's Alessandro De Marchi, but the result was still more than enough for him to claim an impressive fourth title of the year.
Richard Porte, also of Team Sky, finished second in the overall standings - 58 seconds behind.
The Dauphine is a good indicator of a rider's form heading into the Tour, which starts on 29 June, and Froome will now hope to emulate Wiggins, who followed his Dauphine triumph 12 months ago by becoming the first British Tour de France winner.
"It's a positive test for the Tour de France. I'll do everything to win it as well. We've good reason to be confident with such a great team," he said to reporters.
However, the Kenyan-born Brit, who finished second behind Wiggins last year, insists he is just one of several contenders for the yellow jersey.
"I have won the Dauphine, and other races before, but the counter is back to zero when the Tour starts. There will be six to seven main contenders for overall victory. The names? [Alberto] Contador, [Alejandro] Valverde, [Joaquim] Rodriguez, [Cadel] Evans, [Tejay] Van Garderen and [Nairo] Quintana are all capable of strong rides."
In May, Team Sky confirmed Froome would lead their challenge at the Tour de France ahead of team-mate Wiggins, who has since been ruled out of defending his title in the three-week race because illness and injury have left him insufficient time to train for it.
His Dauphine victory follows successes at the Tour of Oman, Criterium International and Tour de Romandie.
"It's been a dream scenario," Froome added. "To come away with the victory plus one of my best friends and team-mate Porte in second place overall, I couldn't ask for more.
"Tonight I'll be able to have a drink with my team-mates to celebrate this great win. In the coming days, we'll go and recognise some mountain stages of the Tour."

Australia would not end its biggest single export, coal, as part of the government's strategy to curb greenhouse gas emissions, Prime Minister John Howard said Thursday.
CANBERRA, Australia -- Australia would not end its biggest single export, coal, as part of the government's strategy to curb greenhouse gas emissions, Prime Minister John Howard said Thursday.
Scientist and author Tim Flannery, who last month was chosen as Australian of the Year for his contribution to public understanding of the environment, said late Wednesday that Australia could no longer justify being the world's largest coal exporter given the dire consequences of global warming.
But Howard ruled out cutting coal exports, arguing that Australia's response to climate change must protect jobs in the coal industry.
"You can't do that," Howard told Sky television of the prospect of ending coal exports.
"That would be devastating to many communities throughout Australia; it would cost thousands of jobs -- we are the largest coal exporter in the world," Howard added.
He said his government was investing in the development of new technology that would make coal-fired power generation cleaner.
"We must respond to the challenge of climate change, but we have got to do it in a measured and practical way that doesn't unfairly disadvantage the economy of this country," he added.
Flannery said exporting coal could no longer be considered to be in Australia's national interest.
"The social license of coal to operate is rapidly being withdrawn globally, and no government can protect an industry from that sort of thing occurring," he told Australian Broadcasting Corp. television.
"We've seen it with asbestos; we'll see it with coal," he added.
The opposition center-left Labor Party this week began Parliament's first session of this election year by targeting the center-right government's refusal to sign on to the Kyoto Protocol for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Labor backed its calls for Australia to ratify Kyoto and join a global carbon trading system with a landmark U.N. report last week that found with 90 percent certainty that human activity was to blame for catastrophic climate change.
Global warming is likely to be a major issue at elections due this year with most cities facing drinking water shortages because of the worst drought in a century which is dampening economic growth by slashing farm produce.
The government has proposed introducing nuclear power to reduce Australia's dependence on coal -- an option Labor rejects.

Employment & Benefits
This section provides an overview of many benefits available to faculty and staff. In the event of conflict between the overview provided in this handbook and the plan document or insurance plan, the plan document or insurance plan will govern. Complete descriptions are not possible in the handbook; employees should contact Human Resources for specific plan details. The Labor Agreement governs in the case of Union employees in all aspects of this section. Regular non-union employees who have a schedule involving a (.46) FTE or above, and Union employees who have a (.50) FTE or above are eligible to participate in the College's benefit programs.
Carleton College will comply with all applicable laws such as ACA, FMLA, federal, state, and any applicable regulations.
Longevity Bonus
Since 1976 the College has awarded annual longevity bonuses to eligible non-exempt, non-union staff members. All full-time and regular, benefit-eligible part-time (20 hours per week or more) non-exempt, non-union staff members become eligible after the completion of five years of continuous service. The credit for previous service is accrued after completing three continuous years of service in the employee's current employment period.
Bonus amounts are calculated on hours worked and accrued through the most recent July 1, and are listed as "long pay" in the last non-exempt pay period for the month in which the anniversary date occurs. All bonus amounts are subject to income tax and will be deposited into the same bank account as your regular payroll.
Bonus amounts
Bonus amounts are based on length of continuous service attained using years in which the greatest number of hours (best years) are worked according to the following table:
|Completion of Continuous Service to Anniversary Date
|Bonus Amount
|Pro-rated Adjustments
|After 5 years but less than 10
|5 best years
|After 10 years but less than 15
|10 best years
|After 15 years but less than 20
|15 best years
|After 20 years
|20 best years
Employees who work 2,080 hours per year receive full bonus amounts. Those who worked fewer than 2,080 hours in any given year used for the bonus calculation will receive pro-rated amounts.
Longevity bonuses do not apply to those employees who change status from non-exempt, non-union to any other employee classification or designation.

Quote:This summer there will be two Oval Offices in the White House complex, and it won't be a case of double vision.
In preparation for a major, two-year renovation of the West Wing, the government is undertaking extensive work to complete a new executive office for President Obama at the south end of the adjacent Eisenhower Executive Office Building, RCP has learned.
The president's facsimile Oval Office, created as a nearly identical replica of the most famous ovoid room in the world, is slated to be ready for occupancy by August if Obama is ready to move and if design challenges are resolved. The build-out of the new "West Wing quarters" inside the Eisenhower building has begun, but unforeseen construction hurdles may alter plans for the eventual placement of the new office inside the EEOB, according to several knowledgeable sources.
The timing of Obama's move to a substitute executive suite is in part dependent on the president's readiness to begin working in the temporary quarters for what could be as long as two years, sources told RCP. The West Wing phase of a larger, $376 million project begun in September 2010 was put on pause through last year's election, although funding and contracts were ready, the sources said. If Mitt Romney had won in November, Obama would have handed decisions about whether and how to proceed with the rehab project to his successor, they added.
It's the "BILL OF RIGHTS" not the bill of "needs"

The Phantom of the Opera (French: Le Fantôme de l'Opéra) is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. It was first published as a serialisation in Le Gaulois from September 23, 1909, to January 8, 1910. It was published in volume form in April 1910 by Pierre Lafitte.[1] The novel is partly inspired by historical events at the Paris Opera during the nineteenth century and an apocryphal tale concerning the use of a former ballet pupil's skeleton in Carl Maria von Weber's 1841 production of Der Freischütz.[1] Nowadays, it is overshadowed by the success of its various stage and film adaptations. The most notable of these are the 1925 film depiction featuring Lon Chaney and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical.

Plot summary
Opera singer Christine triumphs at the gala on the night of the old managers' retirement. Her old childhood friend, Raoul, hears her sing and recalls his love for Christine. At this time, there are rumors of a phantom living at the Opera and he makes himself known to the managers through letters and malevolent acts. Some time after the gala, the Paris Opera performs Faust, with the prima donna Carlotta playing the lead, against the Phantom's wishes. During the performance, Carlotta loses her voice and the grand chandelier plummets into the audience.
Christine is kidnapped by the phantom and is taken to his home in the cellars of the Opera where he reveals his true identity to her simply as Erik, though not his real name. He plans to keep her there for a few days, hoping she will come to love him. But she causes Erik to change his plans when she unmasks him and, to the horror of both, beholds his noseless, lipless, sunken-eyed face which resembles a skull dried up by the centuries, covered in yellowed dead flesh. Fearing that she will leave him, he decides to keep her with him forever, but when Christine requests release after two weeks, he agrees on condition that she wear his ring and be faithful to him.
On the roof of the opera house, Christine tells Raoul that Erik abducted her. Raoul promises to take Christine away to a place where Erik can never find her. Raoul tells Christine he shall act on his promise the next day, to which Christine agrees. She, however, has pity for Erik and will not go until she has sung a song for him one last time. Neither is aware that Erik has been listening to their conversation and that he has become extremely jealous.
The following night, Erik kidnaps Christine during a production of Faust and tries to force Christine to marry him. He states that if she refuses, he will use explosives (which he has planted in the cellars) to destroy the entire opera house. Christine refuses, until she realizes that Erik learned of Raoul's attempt to rescue her and has trapped Raoul in a hot torture chamber (along with the Persian, an old acquaintance of Erik who was going to help Raoul). To save them and the people above, Christine agrees to marry Erik. Erik initially tries to drown Raoul, using the water which would have been used to douse the explosives. But Christine begs and offers to be his "living bride", promising him not to kill herself after becoming his bride, as she had both contemplated and attempted earlier in the novel. Erik eventually rescues Raoul from his torture chamber. When Erik is alone with Christine, he lifts his mask to kiss her on her forehead, and is given a kiss back. Erik reveals that he has never received a kiss (not even from his own mother) nor has been allowed to give one and is overcome with emotion.
Erik allows them to escape, though not before making Christine promise that she will visit him once on his death day, and return the gold ring he gave her. He also makes her promise that afterwards she will go to the newspaper and report his death. Indeed, some time later Christine returns to Erik's lair, buries him and returns the gold ring. Afterwards, a local newspaper runs the simple note: "Erik is dead".

There could be a 7th Heaven reunion show in the future, but it comes with a catch.
Catherine Hicks, who played Annie Camden on the show, says she'll only consider returning if her TV husband is killed off.
The star has given her ultimatum and shared some possible storylines when approached by TMZ about the possibility.
"You know, I don't know", she said before laughing "I mean, we'd have to open with Stephen's coffin".
Stephen Collins, who played Eric Camden on the show, confessed to child molestation in 2014.
In an interview with Katie Couric he denied being a paedophile but said he'd molested a 10-year-old girl on one occasion and exposed himself to three underage girls.
The 68-year-old said the incidents occurred in 1973, 1982 and 1994.
Collins played the father of five children on 7th Heaven and was a confidant of many more as part of the show's storyline.
Hicks suggested that perhaps it was time for a new boyfriend for Annie or perhaps the show could be called "6th Heaven".

Darlene Love
There's no doubt about it, you've been moved by Darlene Love's voice.
By her own count Love has backed up more than two hundred famous musicians. In her sixty-year career, Love has graced songs as a member of the Blossoms, a backup singer and, of course, her own inimitable self.
Rolling Stone proclaimed Darlene Love "one of the greatest singers of all time, while the New York Times declared that her "thunderbolt voice is as embedded in the history of rock and roll as Eric Clapton's guitar or Bob Dylan's lyrics."
However, Love's name doesn't quite have the familiar ring of Clapton's and Dylan's. That is because for much of her life she worked in relative anonymity in studios and on stages, backing up others.
For her behind-the-scenes roles as popular music's greatest session vocalist and backup singer, Love has been called "the most successful unknown singer in rock and roll history." Virtually everyone knows her voice, but only a relative few know to whom that magical voice belongs. With her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, that hopefully will no longer be the case.
Love sang lead on a string of Phil Spector-produced hits from the early Sixties, including "He's a Rebel," "He's Sure the Boy I Love," "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," "(Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry," "Wait Til My Bobby Gets Home," "Why Do Lovers Break Each Other's Hearts?" and the seasonal classic "(Christmas) Baby Please Come Home." In addition, she sang background vocals on numerous other hits that Spector produced for his Philles label, including the Crystals' "Da Doo Ron Ron," the Ronettes' "Be My Baby" and the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." Love wanted to be the lead vocalist on "River Deep—Mountain High;" although that assignment went to Tina Turner, she sang backup on the session and has subsequently made the song a highlight of her live performances.
Among rock cognoscenti, Love is best known for "He's a Rebel," a song credited to the Crystals that was in actuality sung by Love and her vocal group, the Blossoms. The reason for this odd situation has to do with the record's producer, Phil Spector. He instinctively knew that the song, written by Gene Pitney, would be a hit. But he couldn't record it with the Crystals, his main recording group at the time. They were back home in Brooklyn while he was out in Los Angeles, impatient to get the song recorded before a competing version (by Vicki Carr) could gain momentum. So he cut "He's a Rebel" with the Blossoms, crediting it to the Crystals because he wanted a recognizable name on the record and they had two recent hits ("Uptown" and "There's No Other [Like My Baby]").
As unconventional as it might sound, Spector's strategy worked, and "He's a Rebel" topped the charts in 1962. However, it didn't make a star of Darlene Love. However, by providing her with anonymity and insisting she work within a system in which his auteur-like vision was paramount, Spector might have done her a favor. As Love reflected in 1988, "He was a great teacher for me. You see, he loved his melodies to be sung. He didn't want you deviating and carrying on over his melodies; just sing the melodies. And what he taught me made it much easier later on to work with other producers and writers."
Indeed, Love and the Blossoms became first-call A-list session singers, boasting a sessionography that almost defies belief. With the Blossoms, Love has sung with the likes of Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, the Mamas and the Papas, Duane Eddy, Sonny and Cher, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Luther Vandross and Dionne Warwick. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
"One time I had to make a list of all the people I've worked for," Love recalled in a 1985 Goldmine interview. "The list was unreal, with over two hundred famous people we had actually backed up over fifteen years."
Darlene Love, whose birth name is Darlene Wright, was born in 1941. Her father was a minister, and she grew up listening to gospel music and singing in the church choir. While in high school, she was asked to join the Blossoms—an established vocal group, originally known as the Dreamers—in 1957. Their first session as background vocalists was for actor James Darren. They sang on such hits as Darren's "Goodbye Cruel World," Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang," Bobby Day's "Rockin' Robin," Shelly Fabares' "Johnny Angel" and Bobby "Boris" Pickett's Halloween novelty "Monster Mash."
The group came to Phil Spector's attention via his partner, Lester Sill. It was Spector who suggested that she rename herself Darlene Love. She wound up being a fruitful discovery for Spector. As Spector biographer Richard Williams noted, "She had a peculiarly young voice, which made it suitable for the songs Spector liked best—the ones dealing with adolescent emotional experiences. However, unlike most of the kids around, she was also a solidly professional singer with exemplary technique, control and flexibility. She had real power and genuine dynamic range...In a word, Darlene was a godsend."
In addition to using Love and the Blossoms as surrogates on two Crystals classics ("He's a Rebel" and "He's Sure the Boy I Love"), Spector made her a member—along with co-lead vocalist Bobby Sheen—of Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans. Their sultry rendition of a Disney movie song, "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," made the Top Ten. In 1963 Love released a brace of Spector-produced Top Forty hits under her own name: "(Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry," "Wait Till My Bobby Gets Home" and "A Fine, Fine Boy." While "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"—the only original number on Spector's classic A Christmas Gift for You (1963)—missed the singles charts, the Love-sung number became a much-played seasonal standard.
However, Darlene Love's solo career didn't go very far beyond those early singles. She was simply too busy. For one thing, the Blossoms became regulars on TV's Shindig, a popular weekly music show with a two-year run in the mid-Sixties. On Shindig, the Blossoms sang behind the most popular acts of the day. Moreover, they were now getting steady, lucrative session work as popular music's most in-demand background singers. What attracted them to producers was their ability to blend in and enhance the work of whatever artist they were backing. "We didn't try to change the artists' sounds," Love explained. "We tried to sound exactly like they did. Background singers who are any good have to be great imitators."
The best-known and most enduring Blossoms lineup comprised Darlene Love, Fanita James and Jean King. But there were also early members (Gloria Jones and sisters Annette and Nanette Williams). Grazia Nitzsche—wife of Spector's close associate, arranger Jack Nitzsche—was even involved for a while. The Blossoms recorded prolifically on other artists' sessions, but they also cut a large number of records under their own name. From 1957 to 1972, approximately twenty Blossoms singles were released on such labels as Capitol and Reprise. However, only one of them ("Son-in-Law," an answer song to Ernie K-Doe's "Mother-in-Law") cracked the Hot 100. In 1972 the Blossoms released their only album, Shockwave.
Love's primary musical association during the Seventies was with Dionne Warwick, whom she backed on record and on tour. She also sang on the Warwick-hosted TV show Solid Gold, which debuted in 1980. Love briefly reunited with Phil Spector in 1975, cutting "Lord, If You're a Woman," a non-charting single written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.
A roots-rock revival brought Love into the limelight during the Eighties. First she resumed her solo career in 1981 with club shows in and around Los Angeles. In 1984 she starred in one of the first successful "jukebox musicals," Leader of the Pack (based on the Ellie Greenwich songbook), which had extended runs at New York's Bottom Line and on Broadway. She also did dramatic work, appearing in all three Lethal Weapon movies and a stage adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie.
In addition, the veteran singer began recording under her own name again. Her debut album as a solo artist, Paint Another Picture, appeared in 1988. A decade later, a gospel record—Unconditional Love, produced by Edwin Hawkins—brought Love back to her roots in church music. In 2007 she revisited the seasonal theme with It's Christmas Of Course. In 2010 she released a live retrospective, The Concert of Love.
Darlene Love has professed no regrets about having spent much of her life working behind the scenes, despite having one of rock's greatest voices. "I never pushed to be a star," she told writer David Hinckley in 1992. "I didn't want to. I had my home, my family. Session work let you do the music and leave."

Tomb Raider's reboot as a video game seems to have worked out well, so Crystal Dynamics is comfortable talking about their reboot plans for the film, too.
Speaking to Variety, Darrell Gallagher said his studio is working with GK Films, producers of "Rango" and "The Departed." Gallagher's remarks stress that whatever the next Tomb Raider film is, it'll be consistent with the tone of the game releasing today. "We didn't want to see a film version that was a continuation of the old 'Tomb Raider' films," he said. "They are working from this new take that we've given them."
A rebooted "Tomb Raider" movie, departing from the voluptuous Angelina Jolie portrayal of Lara Croft to a steelier, yet vulnerable adventurer, has been talked about before. ComingSoon.net discussed the project with Graham King (he runs GK Films) back in 2011.

Radio Broadcast of Saturday, April 21, 11 A.M.
Siegfried, the third opera in Richard Wagner's monumental Ring des Nibelungen, was given its world premiere in Bayreuth on August 16, 1876. The Metropolitan Opera presented the U.S. premiere of Siegfried on
November 9, 1887, with Anton Seidl conducting. German tenor Max Alvary,
then in his third season with the company, was the Met's first
Siegfried. Born in Dusseldorf as Maximilian Achenbach, Alvary (1856–98)
was a handsome, charismatic artist who made Siegfried his signature
role. By the time of his tragically early death, Alvary had sung
Wagner's hero throughout Europe and North America: in its obituary of
the tenor, The New York Times listed Alvary's Siegfried performances
in Bayreuth, Munich, Hamburg, London, Milan, Amsterdam, Moscow, St.
Petersburg, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis and Milwaukee,
among many other cities. The tenor's preeminence as a Wagnerian was such
that in 1892, when Covent Garden presented its first full Ring, under Gustav Mahler, the company agreed to Alvary's request that the tetralogy be presented with Siegfried first, as he wished to make his London debut as Siegfried, rather than as Loge, his role in Das Rheingold.
American tenor Jay Hunter Morris was
Siegfried when the Met's new production of the opera, the latest
installment in visionary director Robert Lepage's realization of the Ring, had its premiere on October 27, 2011, with Fabio Luisi conducting.
ACT I. Deep in the forest where the dragon Fafner
guards the Nibelung treasure and the all-powerful Ring, Mime toils at
his forge. Greedy, filled with hate but powerless himself, he is at work
on yet another sword for his foster son, Siegfried. If the boy can kill
the dragon, Mime will get the Nibelung's Ring and rule the world.
Heralded by a horn call, Siegfried bounds in to tease the terrified Mime
with a wild bear. Next he snatches up Mime's latest blade, smashes it
and rages at the dwarf for his incompetence. Mime offers food and
soothing words, getting only rude rebuffs. The youth knows he cannot be
Mime's real son, as there is no physical resemblance between them, and
he asks who his mother was. Furious at the dwarf's evasions, he grabs
him by the throat and demands the truth. For the first time, Mime tells
Siegfried about Sieglinde and how she died in childbirth. Siegfried is
moved by the story but demands proof — and Mime shows him the fragments
of Siegmund's sword, Nothung. Inspired now to see the world, Siegfried
orders Mime to repair Nothung and rushes out. As Mime sinks down in
despair, the Wanderer (Wotan) enters, weary from his travels, and
challenges his host to a battle of wits, the loser to forfeit his head.
The stranger easily answers Mime's three riddles — who lives under the
earth (the dwarfs), on it (men) and above (the gods) — but Mime gives up
in terror when asked who will mend Nothung. The Wanderer departs in
peace, however, leaving Mime's head to the fearless hero who can forge
the magic blade. Hearing distant growls, Mime panics, thinking Fafner is
coming, but it is Siegfried who enters. Mime tries in vain to teach the
boy what fear is and proposes an educational visit to Fafner's lair.
Siegfried is all for it and decides to repair the sword himself. While
he works, the dwarf prepares poison to give him once he has slain
Fafner. Siegfried, flashing the finished sword, splits the anvil and
runs into the forest.
ACT II. That night, in front of Fafner's cave,
Alberich broods on the day when the Ring again will be his. The Wanderer
enters, assuring the startled Nibelung that he is not after the Ring
himself but warning the dwarf to watch out for his brother Mime. The
Wanderer claims he is ready to accept what destiny will bring and
promises not to interfere with Alberich's plans. He even alerts the
sleepy Fafner to Siegfried's intentions. The dragon, unimpressed, dozes
off again. God and dwarf disappear, and as dawn breaks, Mime and
Siegfried arrive. The youth dismisses Mime, then stretches out under a
lime tree to rest, becoming enchanted by the sounds of the woods and
yearning for the mother he never knew. Aroused by the song of a Forest
Bird, he tries to imitate it on a reed pipe; failing, he sounds his
silver horn instead. This awakens Fafner, who rumbles out of his den and
is slain in the ensuing battle. With his dying breath, the dragon warns
his killer of the destructive power of the gold. Siegfried accidentally
touches a drop of Fafner's blood to his lips, magically enabling him to
understand the bird's warblings, which direct him to the treasures in
the cave. Now Alberich and Mime appear, quarreling over the spoils, but
withdraw as Siegfried comes out with the Ring and Tarnhelm. The bird
warns him against Mime, who returns with the poisoned drink. Reading the
dwarf's true thoughts, Siegfried kills him as Alberich's laughter
echoes in the distance. While the hero rests, lamenting his solitude,
the bird tells of a maiden who sleeps on a fire-encircled rock —
Brünnhilde — a bride who can be won only by a hero who knows no fear.
Enthralled, Siegfried sets out to claim her.
ACT III. In a wild mountain pass, the Wanderer
summons Erda to tell him the gods' fate. She evades his questions, and
Wotan resigns himself to Valhalla's doom, bequeathing to the world the
redemptive power of Brünnhilde's love. When Siegfried approaches, he
angers the god, who attempts to block his path, but with a single stroke
of Nothung, Siegfried shatters Wotan's spear and advances.
Dawn breaks on the rocky height where
Brünnhilde sleeps. Thinking he has discovered a hero, Siegfried removes
her armor and is overcome to find a woman, the first he has ever seen.
Now he knows what fear is, but mastering his emotions, he awakens the
maiden with a kiss. Radiantly hailing the sunlight, Brünnhilde rejoices
that it is Siegfried who has restored her to life. At first she resists
him, saying that earthly love would end her immortality. But she
realizes she is mortal, no longer a Valkyrie, and womanly ardor soon
replaces all shame and fear. Bidding Valhalla farewell, she joins
Siegfried in praise of love.
Wagner took more than two decades to complete his Ring
cycle, a length of time prolonged by many interruptions. The text dates
back to 1848, when Wagner made his first dramatic sketch of the
Nibelung myth. By the autumn of 1850, he had written the text for Siegfried's Death (later revised as Götterdämmerung) and was beginning to sketch out the music when he decided to expand the drama with The Young Siegfried (as Siegfried was first called); in time, Die Walküre and Das Rheingold followed, to explain the complex myth that comes to a head in Götterdämmerung.
The texts were thus written in reverse order, although the composition
of the music was accomplished in the now familiar order of Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung.
Wagner was unique among successful
opera composers in his transparently didactic purpose. Far from offering
his audience relaxing entertainment, he set out to lecture them on the
philosophy of art and world politics. The first act of Die Walküre,
for example, drew Wagner into a white heat of inspiration: his personal
sympathies were particularly engaged in the story of Siegmund and
Sieglinde and their forbidden passion when he was at work on the opera
from mid-1854 to 1856. Then involved in a love affair with Mathilde
Wesendonck, the wife of one of his patrons, Wagner chose to criticize
the bonds of conventional marriage through the characters of Fricka and
The popularity of Die Walküre — the most beloved of the Ring operas, and the one most frequently performed by itself — undermined Wagner's plan to have the Ring always presented in its entirety. Wagner felt that a full Ring
cycle would best allow audiences to follow its lofty ideas. Among these
concepts — all of them as important to Wagner's life as to his work —
were the redemption of man by woman; the cleansing of the world by
unselfish love; the defeat of greed, materialism and arbitrary power;
and the need, both individually and on a national scale, to follow
"manifest destiny."
Wagner, who visualized himself as a
heroic crusader, identified with Siegfried in his search for love, his
defiance of obstacles and petty interference and his unity with nature.
The downfall of the gods in Götterdämmerung represents,
according to Wagner, the beginning of the modern world, in which the
human race must learn to control its own destiny.
Wagner's plans for the completion and
production of his cycle of four music dramas were frustrated by his
inability to find proper backing for such a gigantic project. In 1857,
halfway through Act II of the Siegfried music,Wagner set aside work on the Ring; before he resumed sustained work on the cycle, in 1869, he completed Tristan und Isolde, the Paris revision of Tannhäuser and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg,
and found the patron of his dreams — Ludwig II, the "mad" king of
Bavaria. Ludwig's enthusiastic and generous patronage was not without
its drawbacks: at the insistence of the king, Wagner's first two Ring
operas were given their world premieres in Munich during the 1869-70
season, before the rest of the cycle had been completed. Wagner finished
Siegfried in 1871 and completed Götterdämmerung in 1874, when plans were already well underway for the first Bayreuth festival. It was there that the world premieres of Siegfried and Götterdämmerung were presented, as part of the the first complete Ring, in August 1876. The principal cast of the first Ring,
conducted by Hans Richter, included Amalie Materna (Brünnhilde), Georg
Unger (Siegfried), Franz Betz (Wotan), Albert Niemann (Siegmund) and
Josephine Schefsky (Sieglinde).
The first of the Ring operas to reach the Met was Die Walküre,
which had its company premiere on January 30, 1885, with Materna as
Brünnhilde and Leopold Damrosch conducting. The company's next Ring installments were the U.S. premieres of Siegfried (November 9, 1887), Götterdämmerung (January 25, 1888) and Das Rheingold (January 4, 1889). In March 1889, the Met presented the first Ring
cycle in the Western Hemisphere. The operas were conducted by Anton
Seidl; Lilli Lehmann (Brünnhilde), Emil Fischer (Wotan and Hagen) and
Max Alvary (Siegfried) headed the cast.
The Met's previous production of the Ring
was directed by Otto Schenk and designed by Günther Schneider-Siemssen
(sets), Rolf Langenfass (costumes) and Gil Wechsler (lighting). The
Schenk Die Walküre staging had its premiere on opening night of the 1986-87 season, followed by Das Rheingold (October 9, 1987), Siegfried (February 12, 1988) and Götterdämmerung (October 21, 1988). All of the premieres were conducted by James Levine, as was the first presentation of the complete Schenk Ring, in April 1989.
Beginning Wagnerites can start their study of the composer concisely with Michael Tanner's Wagner (Princeton) and The New Grove Guide to Wagner and his Operas, edited by Barry Millington (Oxford); more adventurous readers will find Millington's Wagner (Princeton) and The Wagner Compendium: A Guide to Wagner's Life and Music (Thames and Hudson), edited by Millington, to be rewarding. Ernest Newman's The Wagner Operas, originally published in 1949 and now available as a Princeton paperback, remains valuable. M. Owen Lee's Wagner's Ring: Turning the Sky Round (Limelight) takes a measured, erudite look at the composer's magnum opus. Andrew Porter's brilliant English-language Ring
text — intended as a "singing" translation and used as such with great
success at ENO and other companies — is well worth seeking out (Norton).
The history of Wagner's Ring is inseparable from that of the Bayreuth Festival, where the first complete Ring performances were given. Frederick Spotts's Bayreuth (Yale) is comprehensive and respectful; Jonathan Carr's The Wagner Clan (Grove) is a lively history of three generations of the composer's family in and out of Bayreuth.
Most of the Ring operas have been recorded as part of complete cycles, although some notable Die Walküres were conceived as separate recording projects. The 1961 Decca Die Walküre,
led by Erich Leinsdorf at his most commanding, features Gré
Brouwenstijn's imaginatively phrased Sieglinde, partnered by Jon
Vickers's moving Siegmund. George London offers a distinguished Wotan.
Birgit Nilsson, Leinsdorf's Brünnhilde, is marginally less authoritative
than in her later recording for Georg Solti. Bruno Walter's enthralling
1935 account of Act I of Die Walküre, with Lotte Lehmann,
Lauritz Melchior and Emmanuel List its high-voltage principals, is
available in an excellent remastering from Naxos.
In the late 1980s, while the Met was rolling out its handsome, traditional Otto Schenk staging of Wagner's Ring, the company was also at work on the Ring in the recording studio, under the direction of James Levine. Levine's studio recordings of the four Ring
operas (DG) are a testament to the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra's
extraordinary development into a world-class ensemble under the
conductor's leadership; Levine's reading balances wit, vigor and passion
in equal measure. His superb principal cast — most of them veterans of
the Schenk Ring staging — includes Hildegard Behrens
(Brünnhilde), James Morris (Wotan), Jessye Norman (Sieglinde), Christa
Ludwig (Fricka), Matti Salminen (Hagen) and Hanna Schwarz (Waltraute). A
slightly different group of principals is on hand for the Met's Ring
DVDs, recorded and telecast in 1990; for example, the highly telegenic
Siegfried Jerusalem, who had sung Loge in the 1988 Met studio recording
of Das Rheingold, added the higher-profile assignment of Siegfried for the live telecast.
Georg Solti's Decca Ring — the
first studio recording of the complete cycle, begun in 1958 and
completed over a period of eight — remains one of the biggest and
boldest Ring performances on disc, undeniably exciting if
(occasionally) somewhat relentless in its delivery of heroically-scaled
histrionics by the Vienna Philharmonic. Solti's veteran Ring
cast includes Nilsson, Hans Hotter (Wotan), Régine Crespin (Sieglinde),
Wolfgang Windgassen (Siegfried), Gottlob Frick (Hunding) and Kirsten
Flagstad (Fricka, Das Rheingold). The chief contemporary rival to the Solti Ring
is the performance by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic,
who deliver a less elemental reading than that of Solti, but one that is
considerably more sensuous and radiant (especially in Das Rheingold).
Bernard Haitink's studio set (EMI) is admirable for the exemplary
playing of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and the splendid Wotan
of James Morris. Reginald Goodall delivers vigorous yet meticulous
leadership of a brilliantly committed ENO ensemble in a remarkable
English-language Ring, sung in Andrew Porter's translation (Chandos). Among the live Bayreuth Rings
available on CD are illuminating accounts led by Clemens Krauss (1953;
Opera d'Oro), Joseph Keilberth (1955; Testament), Hans Knappertsbusch
(1956; Orfeo d'Or), Rudolf Kempe (1960; Melodram) and Karl Böhm (1967;
On DVD, Patrice Chéreau's revolutionary Bayreuth Ring
reimagined the drama in a nineteenth-century setting; Gwyneth Jones,
Donald McIntyre, Jeannine Altmeyer and Peter Hofmann are Chéreau's
highly persuasive principals, conducted by Pierre Boulez (Philips).
Kasper Bech Holten's Ring staging for Royal Danish Opera,
conducted with masterly finesse by Michael Schønwaldt, is imaginatively
detailed and refreshingly musical. Lothar Zagrosek conducts Stuttgart's
controversial Ring, which fielded a different stage director for each of the four operas: Siegfried,
directed by Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito as a domestic drama with
an aproned, potato-peeling Mime, is probably the most striking of the
four stagings (TDK). A 1963 black-and-white film catches legendary
Wagnerian Hans Knappertsbusch in late bloom, pacing Claire Watson, Fritz
Uhl, Joseph Greindl and the Vienna Philharmonic in a concert
performance of Act I of Die Walküre. Fritz Lang's 1924 silent epic Die Nibelungen — consisting of two separate films, Siegfried and Kriemhild's Revenge — presents a fascinating variation on the legends and the iconography that Wagner used in constructing his Ring cycle.

Silver Star awarded after 44 years
Family of Vietnam veteran accepts posthumous medal
By Master Sgt. Thomas Kielbasa
Florida National Guard Public Affairs
TAMPA, Fla. (Nov. 1, 2012) – On the ink-black night of June 13, 1968, the highlands around Dak Pek in western Vietnam erupted in artillery and rocket fire.
The U.S. Army Special Forces camp, just a few miles from the Laotian border, had been under sporadic siege for days. Situated near the infamous Ho Chi Minh trail and supporting an airstrip, this spot was a prime target by the enemy troops in the area.
It was a night of close combat with causalities on both sides, but it was also the night a young American Soldier from Tallahassee named Matthew Carter would earn a Silver Star – an award that would take more than 44 years for him to receive.
On Oct. 27 the Florida National Guard presented the long-lost medal, as well as a Purple Heart, to the family of Sgt. Matthew Carter during a reunion of B Company, 1/22nd Regiment, 4th Infantry Division. Carter, who passed away in 1996, never knew he had earned the prestigious medal for his gallantry in 1968.
Carter's platoon leader John McHenry, remembered the mission that took his unit to the camp at Dak Pek and would net Silver Stars for two of his men in Bravo Company. He said his unit was ordered to the besieged Special Forces camp a few days before the attack, and instructed to patrol around a nearby hilltop. The North Vietnamese Army (NVA) soldiers who had been peppering the camp with direct and indirect fire could "see everything we did," McHenry explained.
In the early morning hours on the day of the attack another member of Bravo Company – Sgt. Frank Spink – warned 1st Lt. McHenry that enemy soldiers were approaching their position.
"The first part of the attack was a star cluster over the TOC – tactical operations center – right where our (commanding officer) was," McHenry said. "I'll never forget – it was like a white star cluster. I thought they were firecrackers at first and thought 'Who the hell would do that?'"
The white stars tinkling down over the camp were marking the spot for the enemy to concentrate its fire and attack. At that point Bravo Company started taking direct rocket fire from two companies of NVA Regulars.
During the barrage, which included rocket and grenade fire, Spink lost his right arm and attempted to shoot at the enemy with his left hand until he lost consciousness.
Carter, who was also in Spink's squad, was wounded by an enemy rocket while he was laying down a suppressive barrage of fire with an M-60 machine gun. Despite his wounds, Carter refused to leave his position and continued to shoot until an enemy grenade struck his position; he was wounded again, but now had a jammed machine gun.
Disregarding the pain, Carter repaired his weapon and continued to help repel the attack until he passed out from the wounds. With the help of Air Force aircraft circling overhead, the enemy was eventually driven back and the wounded were evacuated.
"It was a heavy attack," McHenry said, recollecting the violent night that brought casualties on both sides.
More than 40 years later McHenry began searching through the National Archives and found that Spink and Carter had been awarded Silver Stars, but through an apparent error in paperwork their medals had never reached them.
With McHenry's assistance, Spink finally received his Silver Star during a ceremony in Indianapolis in August.
Although Carter died in 1996, McHenry and alumni from B Company, 1/22nd Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, managed to track down Carter's family and invited them to the unit's annual reunion in Tampa.
The Florida National Guard's Assistant Adjutant General for Army, Maj. Gen. James Tyre, presented the framed awards to Carter's widow Lorine and her family while about 50 former members of the unit stood at attention.
"The actions of Sgt. Carter on June 13, 1968, define gallantry in action," Tyre told the gathered Vietnam veterans. "They embodied the actions of the true selfless-leader and Soldier that he was."
Tyre said that an estimated 150,000 Silver Stars have been awarded since World War I, but when compared with the fact that about 30 million service men and women have served "our great nation during that same time period, the Silver Star is truly an extraordinary award. It is bestowed on less than one half of one percent of the military who have served our nation."
Fighting back tears, Lorine Carter accepted the awards. She said her husband would "be smiling in his grave to know that finally somebody is recognizing (him).
"He would be very proud to know that although it has taken all this time it is finally coming," she added.

Globe and Mail
Tuesday, Jun. 01, 2010
Greg McArthur and Daniel Leblanc Ottawa
Former prime minister Brian Mulroney accepted cash-stuffed envelopes from Karlheinz Schreiber "as part of a scheme" to conceal the payments, a commission of inquiry has found. But after spending at least $14-million, listening to 39 days of testimony and reviewing 150,000 pages of evidence, the Oliphant inquiry couldn't say what he did to earn it.
In a sometimes scathing examination of Mr. Mulroney's acceptance of at least $225,000 in cash from the German-born, and now incarcerated, lobbyist, Mr. Justice Jeffrey Oliphant, the inquiry's chair, repeatedly called Mr. Mulroney's actions "inappropriate." He described his own "skepticism" of the former prime minister's explanation about the work he performed for the money, and called Mr. Mulroney's explanation for his failure to disclose the payments during a court proceeding "patently absurd."
Almost as soon as Judge Oliphant and his legal staff concluded their remarks to the media Monday, calls began for the government to recoup the $2.1-million that the Justice Department agreed to pay Mr. Mulroney's lawyers and public-relations […]

Century Dental Creating the Smiles You Dream of!
Welcome to Century Dental, where we make your beautiful smile our business! Dr. Densley and Dr. Call have teamed up to create the driving force in the dental industry of the Pacific Northwest. We have put together a team of highly skilled, professional staff.
Hillsboro Family Dentist
We take great pride in creating a comfortable and friendly environment where our patients can have a positive dental experience. Located in Hillsboro, our office is easily accessible as it is right off of Oregon Route 8. We have gone to great lengths to make sure our office is both state-of-the-art and also comfortable and inviting.
Services Offered
Preventive DentistryWe are passionate about preventing problems before they start. We do so by educating our patients about what positive dental habits they can be forming and having our patients visit us twice a year for exams and cleanings.
Restorative DentistryWe understand that often, due to circumstances outside of your control, your mouth may need restorative actions taken. That's why we offer a bevy of restorative procedures to bring your smile back to it's original luster.
Cosmetic DentistryFrequently we hear that the procedures that make the biggest difference in our patient's smiles are cosmetic in nature. Whitening, veneers and Invisalign® are just a few of the cosmetic procedure we offer!
IV SedationFor those patients that need more than just oral sedation we offer what is often called "sleep sedation". If anxiety is an issue or if the procedure calls for it we can easily place you under full anesthesia to ensure that you rest peacefully through the whole thing.
Dental ImplantsIf you have lost a tooth or are looking at tooth removal as an option, dental implants are the most highly recommended form of replacement for teeth. Dental implants involve inserting a titanium post into your jaw which will fuse with your bone structure. The post will be topped with a crown made specifically to fit your bite. The result is a form of tooth replacement that looks and acts exactly as your real tooth would. It even prevents bone loss, which is a common side effect of tooth loss.
Dental Technology
We are happy to use a great variety of cutting edge technology in our practice. Digital X-rays are one of our staples in dental tech. Standard X-rays can take time to view and process but with the advent of digital X-rays we can view the inner workings of your mouth almost instantly. We are also able to take higher quality X-rays that allow us to detect things like tooth decay within the tooth, cysts, tumors, and impacted teeth. Further, the radiation you receive from a digital X-ray device is about 1/5th that of a standard X-ray.
We also offer intraoral cameras and ultrasonic scalers. The intraoral cameras aid us in detecting any issues within your mouth that may need further dental attention. Ultrasonic scalers are by far the most effective method for removing built up plaque and tartar that has accumulated on teeth.
More questions?
If you have any more questions please feel free to browse our Frequently Asked Questions page or give us a call today at 971-708-1608. We look forward to hearing from you!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Tech stocks managed to put in a mostly upbeat market session Tuesday, with Research In Motion Ltd. scoring big gains, but Google Inc. failing to join in the advance ahead of the company's fourth-quarter earnings report, due after the closing bell.
The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.11% ended the day up by 8.5 points to close at 3,143, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, +0.08% fell 0.3% and the Morgan Stanley High Tech 35 Index US:MSH managed a small gain.
RIM US:RIMM CA:RIM shares continued to add to their recent gains, rising 13% to close at $17.90. RIM Chief Executive Thorsten Heins reiterated to a German newspaper that the company is continuing with a strategic review of all of its business operations — which could include licensing its software to other handset makers or selling its own handset business.
Dell DELL, -1.95% shares rose 2% to $13.12 by the close, as the latest rumor had Microsoft MSFT, +0.82% chipping in to help finance a private-equity buyout of the PC maker. Microsoft's shares were down 0.4%.
Apple AAPL, +0.94% shares rose almost 1%, to close at $504.77. Verizon VZ, +0.10% said it activated 6.2 million iPhones during the fourth quarter of 2012, with almost half of the activations being Apple's iPhone 5.
Brian Marshall, an analyst with ISI Group, said Verizon's report is "a solid number supportive of our estimate of 48 million total iPhones," sold in the December quarter.
But Steven Milunovich of UBS scaled back his price target on Apple to $650 from $700. In his note — issued prior to Verizon's report — the analyst cut back his estimated average selling price, or ASP, for the iPhone, citing a survey showing customers opting for lower-memory models of the device.
Verizon VZ, +0.10% shares rose almost 1% to $42.94. The company reported a loss for the fourth quarter — hurt in part by high subsidies for the iPhone 5. But the company projected stronger margins for the year, and said on a conference call that it was considering buying back shares.
Google Inc. GOOG, +0.27% shares gave up $1.64, to close at $702.87 in advance of the Internet giant's quarterly results, set for after the close of trading Tuesday. Analysts expect Google to show gains from more of its ad business. Read more about what's expected from Google's results.
International Business Machines Corp. IBM, +0.01% shares rose almost 1%, to $196.08, while Advanced Micro Devices Inc. AMD, -1.84% gave up a penny a share to close at $2.45 and Texas Instruments Inc. TXN, -0.19% shed 6 cents a share to end the day at $33.46. All three companies were scheduled to release quarterly reports after Tuesday's market close.
